   LOL 1 set=2 people. I realized I didn’t word that too clearly

2. Unprofessional Conduct Online

   Firemedicmommy replied to Anon4thispost's topic in General Nursing

   Was it a HIPAA violation? Was she harassing a patient or another coworker? If none of the above applied then mind your own business. There’s a lot of ignorant nasty people that I don’t like but unless they directly effect me or my job I don’t care. T...

3. Famous person as patient?

   Firemedicmommy replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

   In my district we have 2 conjoined twins at a local nursing home. They are awesome, and have great stories to tell. We have 10 pages of separate protocols just for them. When I first heard about it I thought “OMG I have so many questions right now”

   I totally agree, it was the way he worded it and I definitely didn’t take it literally. However, I think it’s hilarious and enjoy making fun of it ?‍♀️

7. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

   Firemedicmommy replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

   You are absolutely not a coward and don’t let anyone make you feel that way. I’m glad you have a good team, but at the end of the day no one else is gonna look out for you. You are not benefiting your team if you end up sick and taking up another ven...

8. Open Book Pals Testing

   Firemedicmommy replied to DavidW's topic in General Nursing

   In general AHA allows the test to be open book, but it's also discretion of the facility/instructor. Our ACLS and PALS were not open book. The pretest is very helpful and I found it extremely similar to the actual written test. The book is not very d...

9. Patient Abuse/Nepotism

   Firemedicmommy replied to Ethical_RN's topic in General Nursing

   OK first off, forget your legal liability for a second. You mean to tell me this woman has left patients in the cold and rubbed muscle cream on someone's genitals and you've done NOTHING? Not only should she not be a nurse, she shouldn't be allowed ...

10. capnography

    Firemedicmommy replied to zzyzx's topic in NICU

    I'll have to get back to you on that at work tomorrow! I think it is still a viable resource, just not as reliable in a pre term newborn. I'm just a lowly street medic, I've never been on a MICU transport unit. I'm interested to see the response.

11. capnography

    Firemedicmommy replied to zzyzx's topic in NICU

    That's a good question. According to some studies, it seems like it's particularly difficult with sick neonates to measure ETCO2 due to the rapid respiratory rate. This article discusses pros and cons: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ee1b/681dbcd06e...

    Firemedicmommy replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    Sorry, the previous comment was not directed at you. It was directed at a different poster who I guess had their comment removed.

13. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    Firemedicmommy replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    Wow, really? I'm not advocating what she did, but she came asking for help and admitting she messed up. I don't see any reason to rub that in her face or make her feel worse. I understand that actions have consequences, and she should certainly be he...

14. Dade Medical college?!!

    Firemedicmommy replied to sayitaintso's topic in Florida

    My heart goes out to the student. I about cried when I listened to that girl talking about how they took this opportunity away from her. This is a garbage school that took advantage of unsuspecting people. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the ...

15. Adderall Concerns (Please Help)

    Firemedicmommy replied to Firemedicmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Tex, I apologize if my post isn't clear. Let me clarify: I am on meds (Adderall) and I AM able to focus with this medication. The dose I'm on is working fine, so no, a dose increase is not necessary. I've been on this for about a month and this is t...
