  4. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just like to be Debbie downers and say no bc it's easy without justifiable reasoning- I too see this like home health nurses who administer a wide spectrum of fluids and meds in the home...

  5. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

  11. Which way to go-advice please

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Itsourchoices's topic in Nursing Career

    I would never take a role in a non RN position if being an RN is something I wish to continue in the future. I believe in the 50/50 split in a marriage- find a way to satisfy the needs of both...

  12. Help paying for school

    ED Nurse, RN replied to sjefferson's topic in General Students

    There is no such thing as a bachelor of science in history

  13. BSN to Masters or Entry Level Masters?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to mrisajne's topic in General Nursing

    How can you get an MSN without a BSN, unless a bridge/combined program? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by entry level MSN. I've also noticed the only schools you mentioned in all your posts are...

  14. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    There are companies, nurses/docs, that are using a mobile unit at a marathon for IV hydration for anyone that wants it. They have menus for certain replacement "cocktails" and such. It's in no way...

  15. Failed Advanced Med :(

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Futurenurse2010's topic in General Students

    I would never place a GPA on a resume- there is no reason

  16. Horrible Treatment at Drug Testing

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Maria425's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Unfortunately, they can't take chances with you. You have a history of abuse and a lot of time lying lays hand in hand with that abuse- not saying that is the case with you. These collection centers...

  17. UDel requires 160 pre-nursing immersion hours

    ED Nurse, RN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I though you started clinicals junior year? How is it possible to complete all clinicals senior year. Also, I doubt it will lessen reality when starting after licensure- when you are observing you...

  18. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a genius idea- not for just hangovers but at marathons for runners. If I found a doctor willing to do this with me I would certainly do

  19. Help paying for school

    ED Nurse, RN replied to sjefferson's topic in General Students

    Everybody has situations and hardships- sorry, but this is life. You need to pay down your current student loans- it's not a very wise, nor mature reason to rack up more debt when you have...

  20. Help paying for school

    ED Nurse, RN replied to sjefferson's topic in General Students

    If you can't pay for school, you don't go. No one is going to just pop up and pay for your loans. Education in this country is a privilege, not a right. You didn't plan accordingly when pursuing...

  21. South Florida Programs accepting with low GPA?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to mch47's topic in General Students

  24. Nursing is making me ill.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to justmovingon's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you truly feel that way, you need to quit nursing. Pt care will suffer if you go to work miserable everyday. If people in your personal life can't understand that then you also need to reevaluate...

  25. questioning IV fluids

    ED Nurse, RN replied to SN2014's topic in General Nursing

    A true bolus for a hypotensive, hypovolemic pt is not run at 999 on a pump- that takes an hour to infuse. A true bolus is on a pressure bag and goes in within minutes. Running a liter over an hour...
