  1. HELP!!! with ACLS Drugs!

    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...

  4. Quality/Length of Call

    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

    I'm burried in snow too, but it's warming up here! :) And it sure beats the -52 from a little while
  6. Need BIG time help.....worried

    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

    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

    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

    That actually isn't really accurate. My employer supports continuing education from both work and financial perspectives. They are very
  10. Game: Name that smelly drug

    It doesn't begin with a C, but if you have to mix Fortaz, it

  12. 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.....

    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

    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?

    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?

    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.

    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...
  18. I have to ask...

    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!...

    That would be horribly frustrating! I hope you get this resolved
  20. feeling like there's a lump in my troat

    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

    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...
  22. right now, i am working in sk. lpn's are no allowed to work in my area. the icu's here do not allow lpn's either. actually, it has been my experience that lpn's are being phased out in canada and...
  23. Doctors practice, nurses
  24. social anxiety

    Been there, done that, still doing that to some extent. My problem started after nursing school, for no apparent reason. There has been some pretty rough times where I was almost at the point of...
