TheTravelNurse.com: Cardiac stuff
http://travelnurse.blogspot.com/2009/06/cardiac-stuff.html
I was unhappy as a staff nurse and even as an assistant nurse manager and made the jump to Travel Nurse.I traveled across the USA for 7 years. Thanks to the economy and lack of travel positions, I am again a staff nurse. My goal is to help make new nurses into great, productive, caring, helpful,safe co-workers. Tuesday, June 02, 2009. If you take one nitro. Wait 5 minutes if it doesn't help call 911. The newest dose of aspirin is 162mg, 325 after a stent. Then 150mg bid plus and increase to 240mg Cardizem.

But my friends mother's brothers neighbors ex-wife got bit by a brown recluse in this city and she nearly lost her arm. Yes, it was a sulfa pill. Night Witch: Yeah, I'l...

Nursing School Reflections: Med Surg - Quarter 2 done!
http://nursenubie.blogspot.com/2009/04/med-surg-quarter-2-done.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. Med Surg - Quarter 2 done! Finished my second med surg. Quarter and I gotta say - it wasn't bad at all. As a matter of fact, I would say I was blessed to have had the instructor everyone dreaded. Really, if you were on top of your routine, she was very pleasant to work with. I'm glad I didn't let the rumor mill do any more than scare me (warn me)? Don't get me wrong -all that paperwork took forever! Planning she made us do. She also used the Socratic. Method where she quizzed.

Nursing School Reflections: Med-Surg Nursing - Quarter 3
http://nursenubie.blogspot.com/2008/09/med-surg-nursing-quarter-3.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2008. Med-Surg Nursing - Quarter 3. Well, I feel the shadow of the next quarter looming. Last quarter was so stressful and busy with nursing care plans and papers and projects that by the end of the quarter, I felt like I went through a jump line for a gang tryout (you know where they line up on both sides and keep hitting you while you walk through a tunnel to the end). I nearly got my butt kicked! I honestly didn't want to hear another thing about babies, butts, boobs, perineums.

Nursing School Reflections: Swinging Door
http://nursenubie.blogspot.com/2009/05/swinging-door.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2009. Its just a damn shame when folks get too busy doing their job to think about the patient. This is not the fry line at McDonald's. This week my patient was readmitted to the hospital with c/o coffee ground emesis less than 24 hrs of being discharged for the same problem. I started my shift with instructions from my nurse to d/c my pts NG tube. I completed this and assisted the pt in ordering the 1st real food in about a week. Within 20 minutes my pt is showered and out the door.
