2. IV Lasix.

   Yes, doing an IVP during blood transfusions is as simple as it seems. Stop blood, flush, give med, flush, reconnect blood. there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and no underlying issues.

5. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   bag003 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   I work on a floor where i regularly give iv push pantoprazole. Rather than vein irritation i try to push it slow because it can cause tinnitus when pushed too fast. Depends on the doctor i suppose. :)

6. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   bag003 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   I'm sure there would obviously have consequences if something happened that put the patient at risk... Buy that never happened from what I know. Our program , like many other bsn programs, focused mainly on theory rather than clinical experience. We ...

7. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

   bag003 replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

   When i was in school we never had a pass/fail for clinical. It was all about a learning experience. So in this situation my clinical instructor would ask me what the med i was giving was for, how to give it (ex over 2 mins etc..) and what are some ma...

    bag003 replied to ChrisHagen's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I call in sick staffing generally wants a VERY detailed reason why you cant come in..."Sick" just won't do it for them. A few months ago i had to tell them about my n/v/d, which was a little TMI for me. (I can talk about anyone else's bowels...
