  1. Post doctoral CRNA certification programs?

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

    The 'DNP' has nothing meaningful to add to the core anesthesia specific coursework, I.e., it is entirely conceivable that work done to that end in another nursing emphasis could look identical to that...

  3. High acuity Neuro ICU

    offlabel replied to anesthegia's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Her comment should scare you a little. You have a manager that has no idea what the actual, practical day to day bedside practice differences are in a neuro ICU for level I and II trauma...

  5. Help! Masking Wound Smells?

    offlabel replied to seeConnienurse's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Peppermint oil seems to be popular. I'd be surprised if the clinic doesn't have something like that already. She'll get used to it, but in the meantime just tell her to breath through her mouth when...

  6. Post doctoral CRNA certification programs?

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

    That would assume that the accrediting body for nurse anesthesia training, the NBCRNA, which is basically a front for the AANA, was indifferent to the content of it's DNP requirements which service a...

  7. Students who have diarrheal issues in their clothes

    offlabel replied to SKSmith's topic in School

    'Liability' has been used for all kinds of ways to avoid exerting any effort at all. Now it seems as Covid is being used in the same way. And if risk of Covid exposure/transmission is a concern in...

  9. PO liquid potassium vs. PO tablet potassium??

    offlabel replied to sherlee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Potassium replacement is rarely, if ever an urgent/emergent problem. A serum potassium that is chronically low certainly is not. PO is just easier on everyone, taste of the stuff aside. To give some...

  12. Fluid Management During shortage

    offlabel replied to MCHRN13's topic in Operating Room

    Aside from the facts that they're frequently 3 liter bags and and often are not even physiologically suitable for IV administration (sterile water, glycine, sorbitol), someone would have do be out of...

  13. Minimal infusion rates best practice

    offlabel replied to Courtney Murphy's topic in General Nursing

    How big is the kid? Yeah, a carrier with manifold is optimal for more uniform delivery if it isn't a dedicated infusion site, but if not just make the carrier/infusion some fraction of the hourly...

  14. How do you feel about being asked to shadow in addition to interview?

    offlabel replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    They're doing you a favor. You may hate the place. You may not be a great fit. Given the amount of time you'll be spending there, even part time, seems like a rational thing to

  15. Are We Change Agents?

    offlabel replied to TheInclusiveNurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In summary, nurses (some people that) have the talent, expertise, and point of view needed to be effective advocates for healthcare policy and legislation (are nurses.)

  16. Yondr bags and pacemakers

    Contact the medical device companies themselves. There are product reps that are attached to most medium sized hospital cardiology dept's. Boston Scientific and Medtronic are the two big ones. They'd...

  17. Question for NICU nurses in Texas, Idaho

    offlabel replied to H G's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Read the laws. Of course there would be no criminal charges in the above scenario as there is no direct intention to act against a living fetus. Nor would there be if the fetus died as a secondary...

  19. Bombshell Article by Bloomberg Businessweek

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

    Do the accrediting bodies bear any responsibility? Anesthesia training programs and CRNA's are held to extremely high standards for authorization to even open their doors and CE requirements to remain...

    A single invitro observation that doesn't come close to an actual clinical setting? No doubt someone with something to prove would make an issue out of this observational science fair project but...

  24. Stable Vtach

    offlabel replied to Matthew89's topic in General Nursing

    OK...so it sounds like whomever decided to cardiovert didn't want to wait for v-fib (believing what they were seeing was actually VT). At that point (SR with hypotension) running in a liter of fluid...

  25. Stable Vtach

    offlabel replied to Matthew89's topic in General Nursing

    All things being equal because you included no history at all, stable, asymptomatic VT (assuming that's what it really was) is treated pharmacologically before DCCV. Sounds like there were a couple of...
