  1. Blood products simultaneously

    offlabel replied to jinpepito's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Which is more likely in aggressive transfusion therapy in the setting of catastrophic bleeding? Cardiovascular collapse with all of the attendant sequelae or *serious* transfusion reaction from cross...

  2. Pagan in a Catholic Hospital...

    offlabel replied to Kaelsdream's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well, I have yet to meet anyone that doesn't take pride in what they believe. Can't see how Christians aren't allowed to have that very human characteristic. But if what you're criticizing are...

  3. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

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

    Well, be careful here, Sport. For every CRNA "horror story" you find, I can see and raise you one anesthesiologist "horror story". As to SDN, I'd take the word of runny nosed 20 somethings training as...

  4. Pagan in a Catholic Hospital...

    offlabel replied to Kaelsdream's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    How would a Catholic feel in a "pagan" hospital? Not trying to be flip...happens every

  5. Autonomic dysreflexia in PACU

    offlabel replied to krnlm's topic in PACU

    A foley catheterization can set it off. Doesn't take much in some folks and they don't need a history of it to present. Profuse diaphoresis might be the only obvious sign before you get a blood...

  6. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

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

    1. Yes 2.

  8. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

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

    Are you actually suggesting that the assertion that medical school is harder than anesthesia school is unreasonable? To the extent that the person making it must be a troll? How absurd a statement...

  9. Will getting my NP degree help with CRNA applications

    offlabel replied to bsr94's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Be really careful here...if you're willing to go to the trouble and expense of NP training (little to no crossover to anesthesia), why not establish yourself (at a fraction of the expense) as a rock...

  10. What is This Clip?!

    offlabel replied to princesspunch's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's for pediatric nurses...you suspend babies from it for hands free diaper

  12. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    offlabel replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You're asking a very complex question that, ultimately, is concerned with the job satisfaction of the CRNA. Job satisfaction comes from a lot of different directions and is different for different...

  13. What do you hate about nursing and why?

    offlabel replied to ccorreces's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing, I really enjoyed it, actually...I left it to do anesthesia as a CRNA, but I can absolutely say what I don't miss about it and what still gives me fits even now that I am no...

    This ekg pattern would most likely be caused by...in a patient most likely with the chronic diagnosis of...and the immediate treatment would be...

  15. Working with transgender in primary care

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

    Where, in this website, do guidelines for the complexity of the OP's patient exist? This is more of a "start-up" overview that provides general guidelines for a generic population, not one complicated...

  16. Perfusionist

    offlabel replied to marlena.erika's topic in General Nursing

    Perfusion is a pretty nice gig. Good jobs are word of mouth though. Never met an unhappy

  17. Septic vs Cardiogenic Shock?

    offlabel replied to TNnurse91's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The "best" indicator? Besides the history and physical? There is no "best" single indicator. It's a medical diagnosis that comes from an assessment and lab work. If you need a PA catheter or an echo...

  18. What in the world is this rhythm?!

    offlabel replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in Critical Care

    ...yeah, sinus brady, some kind of systemic inflammatory disease too, I think, might be bowel, can't be sure...troubled

  21. Afib

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

    This is a typical nursing "gotcha" kind of question. Your two answers are both not what you'd immediately consider in this patient. The point of the question isn't necessarily that you, as an RN, know...

  22. Unstable Angina Pre-CABG management

    offlabel replied to dontbetachy90's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    That symptoms of chronic disease and ACS resemble each other is not a reason to treat them the same

  23. Warm and dead...

    offlabel replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    "That's the kind of situation where it makes sense. Profoundly hypothermic people may feel pulseless but they really aren't. Their rate/strength has just decreased to the point of being un-assessable...

  24. Post Hysterectomy Hemorrhage

    offlabel replied to RN4hospital's topic in General Nursing

    Post op bleeding is post op bleeding. Nothing special about post hysterectomy. Pallor, hypotension, tachycardia, fall in hct...the usual. If you wait to see if the belly gets distended with blood,...

  25. Nurse or Physician's Assitant

    offlabel replied to MurseTinz's topic in General Students

    Unless you want to do anesthesia, by and large, PA school is the way to go. Between the explosion of NP programs and the sketchy quality of many, there is more of a future in the former. I work with...
