    Flatline replied to DesertSky's topic in General Nursing

  3. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Flatline replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Trump has always said he wanted to repeal & replace and a majority of Americans agree. I have not heard many people say that they just want it repealed without a replacement. I personally do not...

  4. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Flatline replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Where do you get a year from? It was proposed to the House in the July of 2009 and first voted on early November of 09. That seems crazy fast considering a 1,000 page bill that dramatically changed...

  5. Toxic floor morale

    Flatline replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    What does your contract look like? Do you have to repay if you are transferred or terminated? Most of my graduating class took contracts with IASIS and almost all of them did not finish out the...

  6. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Flatline replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Nurses cannot be political in the non-patient care setting? When you engineer a strategy to intentionally force a bill through without allowing time for review or debate you get a greater than...

  7. Toxic floor morale

    Flatline replied to IRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect if she is setting it up so that a nurse can have PTO and overtime on a single pay check that the policy will be overturned fairly quickly. I would also check on your state laws regarding...

  8. Injecting into a cannula; does syringe size matter?

    Flatline replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in General Nursing

    This is great advice for a new grad in the ED on their second shift, challenge the charge nurse on the spot to cite evidence. OP when you do this, please videotape the confrontation for our viewing...

  11. Injecting into a cannula; does syringe size matter?

    Flatline replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you just have to inject with caution. This did not warrant a chewing out but you should be careful. The pressure of the injection is what is of concern, as long as you control the injection and do...

  12. Injecting into a cannula; does syringe size matter?

    Flatline replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in General Nursing

    This is not entirely true. Each manufacturer of PIVs may or may not have engineered their catheters for different pressure ratings. Not all catheters are made of the same material nor are they all...

  14. Good wrist-watch w/ second hand?

    Flatline replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    I personally really like and have seen a lot of other nurses wear an Apple watch. When your hands are full, let's say holding pressure or restraining a combative patient, it is nice to be able to sent...

    Flatline replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are Na/K/Cl transporters in the stria vascularis. Large rapid doses disrupt or damage the transporters which will damage the stria vascularis which will kill the hair cells. No hair, no hearing....

  20. CNA at 16?!

    Flatline replied to Gr4ceffa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes you can, in many states at least. My brother's high school had a CNA program where sophomores would obtain their license by the end of the

  21. Poor Orientation

    Flatline replied to Mdecker912's topic in General Nursing

  22. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Flatline replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

  23. Med. Surg. experience first?

    Flatline replied to Kaela_Stromberg's topic in General Nursing

    Emphatically, NO. If you want to go to OB, go to OB. Far better you spend the time becoming a super amazing OB nurse rather than a mediocre med surg nurse who is now a novice OB nurse. Medical...
