  3. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    dorimar replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't see how giving out our private home address(and that of our families) protects the public. If the public has a problem, I'm sure the BON will be in touch

  4. Help! How do you stay awake on drive home after night shift?

    dorimar replied to neetnik461's topic in General Nursing

    50 minutes is too long. I have enough trouble with 30 minutes. It's funny how some nurses have trouble staying awake during night shift. Never me. Always too much needs to be done at work. I was...

  6. The Dreaded CCRN Exam

    dorimar replied to steelydanfan's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    No I don't think so. The majority is still hemodynamics, cardiac,and pulmonary. You know your Swan readings and different types of shock, as I'm sure you do with years of experience, and I think...

  9. Death by Arterial Line?

    dorimar replied to MarySunshine's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yes, for dampened waveforms with inaccurate readings that draw well, I widen my parameters. I never shut off my alarms. It is NOT the same as turning your alarms off. I chart that the cuff pressure is...

  10. Lantus part II, oh how I want to scream!

    dorimar replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    Our diabetic educators keep telling us over and over not to hold the lantus when the patietn is NPO. In fact, i think it is even on our diabetic standing orders not to. However, while Lantus is a...

  11. Some musings about reading posts here...

    dorimar replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    So, if I need to spell it out, then I guess I will. If your nurse doesn't know what propofol does, then I guess she doesn't know what it is compatible with, nor what the side affects are, and yet...

    dorimar replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

  14. Post CRAB clean

    dorimar replied to gradcare's topic in MICU, SICU

    I call it the bacter factor. In my last facility they were getting to the point of quarantining all the Acinetobactor patietns on the same unit. At my current facility, they aren't even isolating...

  15. Need some solid answers

    dorimar replied to VivaRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I always label my tubing at the injection ports and label my pumps as well. Micromedex is usually available in every ICU and it has a compatablitly section which is wonderfull. I run my mag and K+...

  18. Infiltrate treatment question

    dorimar replied to butofcourse's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  20. Dobutrex

    dorimar replied to TennRN2004's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I think the OP knows that dobutamine can dilate, but he did state the SVR was relatively constant and borderline normal despite his titrations. It would be interesting to see what the SVR was for the...

  21. PLEASE HELP!!! so embarassed about sweating!

    dorimar replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    alright, alright, alright! I just wanted to make the point that I highly value CNAs and I think they are not appreciated enough. I thought that you were be-littling yourself. Point taken--back...

    dorimar replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    My apologize to Sophia RN. It was pointed out to me, that the original poster mentioned in her bio that she "was just a CNA",and I implied that SophiaRN had a "chip on her shoulder", because she used...

  23. does anyone else feel like a glorified maid?

    dorimar replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    God, I am so heart sick at what our profession has become. We have huge numbers, and could do so much for the profession and EACH OTHER. Instead we tear each other down. It's not enough we spent...

  24. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    dorimar replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you first concern was for your fellow RNs icare4icu, then i truly am sorry. However you did state in a post farther up, that for every nurse you refer, you get a percentage of their pay for as...

  25. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    dorimar replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would be leary of working registry without years of experience to be your resource, as you will have no other. Also I caution anyone who does not realize that Icare4icu has something to gain from...
