  1. HELP!!! with ACLS Drugs!

    saskrn replied to Town & Country's topic in Emergency

    In my experience, there is nothing else to do but memorize them and try to understand all of the physiology. IMO, if you understand the physiology, then you'll "understand" what drugs to give. You...

    saskrn replied to kst's topic in Telephone Triage

    There definiely is a relationship. It starts as soon as you assume your nurse role. Our goal is to have our calls be 10 min with 2 min clean up

  5. What's it like living in Arizona

    saskrn replied to BadBird's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm burried in snow too, but it's warming up here! :) And it sure beats the -52 from a little while

    saskrn replied to laurenr2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please, go to the MD instead of having us try to sort through all of that and try to diagnose you. Good

  7. What's it like living in Arizona

    saskrn replied to BadBird's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I did a couple of travel contracts in Tucson, and overall thought it was a decent city with a little bit of character. Night time was my favorite because the stars seemed so clear and it cooled off a...

  8. LPN to RN

    saskrn replied to KimFutureLPN's topic in International Nursing

    I am an RN not an LPN, so I really can't comment on any bridge programs, however it seems that you may have a wider variety of positions as an RN. Good

  9. LPN to RN

    saskrn replied to KimFutureLPN's topic in International Nursing

  12. Do male nurses get less abuse than females by nursing supervisors and patients ?

    saskrn replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    Both DH and I are RN's, and for the most part have never been "yelled" at etc. But, we have noticed a difference in how he is treated versus females. For example, MD's rarely give him any grief over...

  13. If you could do it all over again.....

    saskrn replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say it, but I would definitely not go into nursing. After finding out how "back-biting", "eat-their-own" nursing is, I really regret my career

  14. Sick nurse goes to ER

    saskrn replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    No, as a patient, I feel like I've been treated like a nurse. I've pushed my own drugs, operated my own IV pump, etc, etc. I've been told, "well you should know, you're a nurse" and "how do you...

  15. Is This Illegal?

    saskrn replied to HannahRN24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like a tough situation. Have the best interests of you and those you care for in mind, not your employer. I wish you the

  16. Is This Illegal?

    saskrn replied to HannahRN24's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would call State and the BON and ask them. Then it's coming straight from the horses mouth. Obviously it's not right, and I think you probably know

  17. Badly needing to vent right now.

    saskrn replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate. I trained to take 13 patients with no CNA's. I've had a job where I had a minimum of 12 patients every night, and the CNA's would go home at 10. If there was a woman in labor and...

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    Robin's was quite popular here. I wonder what happened to it. Maybe run out by the rich Tim's? I don't know. As for Starbucks, I agree, they are expensive. Their baked good here are excellent!...

    saskrn replied to rica75's topic in General Nursing

    This has been happening to me for months. Sometimes I won't even notice it for weeks, and then it kicks in again. I'm a little concerned. I just had a TSH drawn. If there's a problem, I'm hoping it...

  21. feeling like there's a lump in my troat

    saskrn replied to rica75's topic in General Nursing

    So with your node do you feel this "lump" all of the time, or does the "lump in the throat" sensation come and go? Im having the same problems, as well. The sensation comes and goes, and does seem to...
