  1. Are We Too PC?

    offlabel replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Now that political correctness has been banned, may I use the pronouns I wish without jeopardizing my job

  2. PA catheter and parameters

    offlabel replied to hyhero89's topic in Critical Care

    Just because PA catheters aren't used as frequently now (that pendulum may swing back, btw...) understanding pulmonary hypertension as a CC nurse is still very relevant. Instead of focusing on the...

  3. After accepting it, how to notify HR that I decided to refuse their job offer

    offlabel replied to Solnce1981's topic in Nursing Career

    Dear HR, Thank you for the gracious offer of the position at St. X hospital, but because of personal and professional circumstances I have had to reconsider my acceptance. Thanks again,

  4. New recert cycle

    offlabel posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Now that the dust has settled from the 4/8 year recert cycle beginning, anyone have definite plans for their Category B credits? Seems like you can just do 20 credits more than you would have under...

  5. Help me learn!

    offlabel replied to CardiacRN18's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This ought to get you started: cardiovascular textbook list - Google

  6. PO2 and aging????

    offlabel replied to qaqueen's topic in Pulmonary

    Just check the PO2 on the x with the SaO2 on the y. At the end of the day, that'll be what you need, funky patient presentations

  7. PO2 and aging????

    offlabel replied to qaqueen's topic in Pulmonary

    It isn't a linear progression. It is a function of a lot of factors, not the least of which is lung volume decreases with age, so, no, a PaO2 of 42 would not be OK. If this is for a test, I have no...

  8. Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    offlabel replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Excommunication is a real penalty in the Catholic Church that is meant to get the attention of the individual(s) that is in contradiction to what the Church teaches. Pope Francis has already...

  9. New recert cycle

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

    Current Reviews or Audio Digest? Some fairly well known CRNA's write a lot of stuff for CR. That's

  10. Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    offlabel replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    The ethical principle the Catholic Church employs in the case of an ectopic pregnancy is that of "double effect". A life threatening rupture of the fallopian tube is almost inevitable if the fetus...

  11. Safe Nursing a thing of the past?

    offlabel replied to butterball1980's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a second. You asked "Are we so reliant on machines that we no longer need to touch and assess?" Fine,but you insisted on a CT. It showed nothing. Your mom was having a bad headache with no overt...

  12. Woman dies from tap water netipot use

    offlabel replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    Not exactly: Drug delivery in overcoming the blood–brain barrier: role of nasal mucosal

  13. Fentanyl Consent?

    offlabel replied to Whitesranch's topic in PACU

    The answer to that dumb question was "yes, he did, when he signed his consent for surgery and anesthesia". What's he supposed to do, go down the entire list of the meds he got that day and sign a...

  14. Help! Betrayal of my Unconscious Mind

    offlabel replied to rn_squared's topic in General Nursing

    This is a common response that happens to observers. As soon as the individual has an active role (and a little experience) there is no time for fixating on troubling sights. No reason to over think...

  15. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If she were the kind of RN that would have said that, she would not have been the kind that would give paralyzing medicine without knowing it. My point throughout this whole thread has been that...

  16. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    A big distinction needs to be made here. Making a stand for the patient out of a concern that the order is harmful (and know what you're talking about, not just being ignorant) is not the same thing...

  17. Mg Sulfate Ryder on PCU Patient

    offlabel replied to raindrop's topic in General Specialties

    The NP should not have backed down. That's part of being an NP. The nurse can question all she wants. 2 gms would have been reasonable, let alone

  18. Chest tubes and water seal

    offlabel replied to Pludovici's topic in General Nursing

    He does...to an extent. The negative pressure generated in the tube isn't enough to drag the water all the way up the tube into the chest. But if you could see the end of the tube submerged in the...

  19. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    And the "truly lethal dose" of vecuronium would be what,

  20. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Technology is no defense at all, and it is delusional to put the two concepts in the same context. As long as there is a human "overide" component in any technological failsafe, there is no failsafe....

  21. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    oh, is that all...should be

  22. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Could have overrided and pulled verapamil and we'd never, ever heard of this...so close...if only 'r' came before

  23. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    offlabel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Must've missed this....honest mistake. Can we move on? It's dangerous to be a patient these

  24. First code blue, hard not to blame myself.

    offlabel replied to 1793stopper's topic in Critical Care

    You didn't make her

  25. Tell me about life in the OR... Good, Bad, Everything!

    offlabel replied to UIHCPNA's topic in Operating Room

    Team work, insults, personal triumphs, humiliating mistakes, hilarious comments in the face of disaster, life saving shoe string catches that no one else, including the ones "most responsible for the...
