1. 10 year old died after I performed CPR

   Dikid replied to MjHudd's topic in General Nursing

   He didn't die after you did CPR. CPR is only done on dead people. He was a child and he was dead for at least a few minutes before you arrived. CPR works less than 10 percent of the time when not in a hospital setting. Being there was a delay in sta...

2. Detox in Jail?

   Dikid replied to ComeTogether's topic in Correctional

   ((Hugs)) this must be super duper tough to watch. I think the best thing is sitting tight. The withdrawal will be painful but she won't die. Alcohol withdrawal is another beast of its own.

3. I Made an Absolute 'No-No" Mistake :(

   Dikid replied to frustratedRN16's topic in General Nursing

   This is tough. Yes you did the wrong thing but you didn't come hear to hear that. The first step is admitting you were wrong, you did just that. Now it's time to say, you are human, you erred, this one error is not going to ruin your life. Rhere a...

   Dikid replied to RNby24's topic in New Nurse

   That is crazy! 8 pts is too many even for the most experienced nurses. Was innaoropriate to give you that assignment. Make sure to submit something in writing, you want it documented how you are being put in dangerous situations.

   Dikid replied to tribute's topic in School Programs

   Well said. this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. I do not think I will accept my position as I don't know if the rest of the program is run in such a haphazard way as well. I am feeling a bit of "we have you at our mercy so be quiet unt...

8. Insight on Dilaudid?

   Dikid replied to LifeIsBeachy's topic in Medications

   When benadryl is pushed quickly it can cause a terrible episode of chest pain in some patients and a feeling of overwhelming fear being allergic to reglan is no fun! Zofran is not always enough to kick fentanyl nausea

9. Littman master cardiology versus Cardiology IV

   Dikid replied to Dikid's topic in Uniform/Gear

   With the IV being so new it's hard to find lots of reviews. I like that it is lighter than some other cardiology scopes i wish there was a store near me that stocks the cardiology scopes and allows for checking em out.

15. Insight on Dilaudid?

    Dikid replied to LifeIsBeachy's topic in Medications

    I was switched from morphine to diluadid as the morphine wasn't enough to knock out the pain. The dikaudid still left me in pain but I was able to sleep for at least 20-30 min after each dose. I had the nurses push it super slowly because it got ve...
