  1. Giving medications when there’s a mild allergic reaction

    offlabel replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    Allergy to PCN is the most bogus element of any medical history...the 10% cross sensitivity to 3rd gen cephalosporins is as credible as big foot sightings during elk season....what you are describing...

  2. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    offlabel replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    Device sales rep...anything

  3. CRNA, Anesthesiologist Relationships

    offlabel replied to cristianomiguel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This ^^^ is why you will be entering a mine field if you choose anesthesia. Been doing this for 25 years in every practice setting that exists. What the naive individuals that think this way don't...

  4. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

    offlabel replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

    If people come here to kvetch and belly ache, more power to 'em. Better here than at

  5. Safety of heparin IV vs SQ

    offlabel replied to sunnyskiesRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In the context the OP is asking, no it couldn't. Not even close. 40,000 units of heparin bolused as fast as you can push it is not at all unusual in cardiac

  6. Trans Patient

    offlabel replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    Best of all

  7. Trans Patient

    offlabel replied to Neo Soldier's topic in Psychiatric

    No you don't, but that is a false comparison anyway. The "accomodation" is simply superimposed on the psychiatric situation at hand. There is the reason the transwoman is there and then there is the...

  8. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    offlabel replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I do wish CRNA's were as interested in talking about the technical/theoretic aspects of the job as much as the political aspect. Remember NA.org? That place tanked. Not much on this site either. It'd...

  9. New grad on cardiac floor just cannot relax after today

    offlabel replied to justthatnewgirl's topic in Cardiac

    Being unaware of circumstances or not knowing something is not an indicator that something is

  10. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    offlabel replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What would you expect an anesthesiologist to say? This is neither new nor unique. Aside from trolling controversial exchanges, the point here is

  11. Go Fund Me

    offlabel posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Seriously doubt this will be endorsed by the AANA, but...thoughts? The Nurse Anesthesiologist Movement is officially underway! Help support the movement as we take the next steps to ensuring it comes...

  12. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    offlabel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Fair has nothing at all to do with it. It is a single payer, national health care

  13. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    offlabel replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Just look at the

  14. Hydralazine question

    offlabel replied to CLP75's topic in Patient Medications

    With that ejection fraction, end organ perfusion will fall if the systolic pressure rises too much. A systolic of 160 doesn't sound awful, but with an impaired left ventricle like that, it could...

  15. Is a pension really worth it?

    offlabel replied to kelsonsa's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a 20 something RN and don't contribute your maximum amount to at least a traditional if not a Roth IRA yearly (about $6000) you are out of your mind. It's easy, you hardly feel it and...

  16. I accidently took home a zofran in my pocket.

    offlabel replied to MarqT's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah...don't take meds home in your pocket. I usually just use my back

  17. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    offlabel replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Historically, for dentists and podiatrists, the entry level degree is a doctorate in a very specific field. That field of study is characterized by international homogeneity. This can't be said of...

  18. Frustrations with the dreaded OSH

    offlabel replied to LilPeanut's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Really? There are no nicotinic receptors in smooth muscle. Vecuronium is known to precipitate a muscarinic block? A block?When? How often? At what dose? As evidenced by what? A dog

  19. Frustrations with the dreaded OSH

    offlabel replied to LilPeanut's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    An off label use of sildenafil for it's effect on PVR is hardly the equivalent of using a muscle relaxant to facilitate mechanical ventilation and then calling it therapeutic for PHTN. If PHTN is the...

  20. Frustrations with the dreaded OSH

    offlabel replied to LilPeanut's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    To the extent that it facilitates mechanical ventilation and doesn't make PH worse, but the suggestion that it in itself is meaningfully therapeutic is ludicrous. As far as rocuronium goes, from the...

  22. Add Veterinary services to my credentials

  23. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    offlabel replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not yet. It's only a matter of time. Once allowable objections to participation in termination of pregnancies are now considered invalid in many western countries and even residency programs in the...

  24. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    offlabel replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Allowable for all terminally ill and vegetative (decision can be made by family or patient if the patient is competent). This is the reason why institutionalized suicide is a horrible idea, because...

  25. I have made a complaint against an NP

    offlabel replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Absolutely...why is it anyone's else's business if someone chooses to represent a professional group charged with the well being of brittle psychiatric patients dressed like she's meeting the fleet at...
