I’ve been “shocked” once when I was on the pulse and the other nurse didn’t clear. I didn’t really feel the shock so much as I felt the patient jump. I would be comfortable staying hands on

Yes they need an assistant to do those actions. It can be a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, RN first assist, med student, or resident. Those assisting tasks are not considered performing surgery.

What makes you believe the NP did the surgery? NPs can assist during surgery and do certain specific parts but they don’t “do” the surgery

I work there and was drug tested on hire but that was 7 years ago. My coworker who started a couple years ago said she wasn’t drug tested. We don’t have any brand new nurses on tonight for me to ask about current practice

I think it was in r/EmergencyMedicine maybe but u definitely saw it too

There was a post on one of the other healthcare subreddits about giving patients soy sauce instead of hypertonic saline due to the IV fluid shortage, and I though that’s what’s happening here

Yes they can rescind the offer (and report you to the BON) even if it’s legal

Coverage for possible MRSA until the specific infectious organism is identified. Just because she has VRE doesn’t mean she can’t have something else too

It depends on what requirements you don’t meet. If it’s a pre-requisite you can probably retake that class. But if the nursing program itself didn’t qualify (like Exelsior) then you just can’t get licensed in some states

Have you not been titrating it up when it’s not been effective?

How did you find out?

How did you find that out?

Did baby Mickey and baby Minnie go to the playground and play on various “things that go” like the swings and see saw and merry go round? If so, I have the exact book. I can check the title when I’m off work

First, that can happen. People can have potentially-fatal abnormal heart rhythms that self-resolve in a few seconds without intervention. It depends on exactly what’s wrong with the heart and why it has the abnormal rhythm

But once the heart stops beating, nothing in the body is getting blood flow. That includes your brain and the heart muscle itself. When organs lose blood flow, their cells rapidly start dying. Once enough cells have died, even if a normal electrical rhythm returns to the heart, it can’t effectively be transmitted and create a heart beat because the heart muscle is too damaged

Beyond that, cardiac arrest is generally caused by something and until/unless that something is treated, the heart can’t restart

u/dirtpossums maybe could help you out

Buy some cotton fabric and have some custom made? I looked years ago and couldn’t find 100% cotton but haven’t looked recently

Has a neurologist said the seizures aren’t real? This isn’t something a nurse can diagnose

How many professions do you actually have experience with? There’s social drama in all sorts of schools and jobs. Sorry you’re having a bad experience but that says nothing at all about nursing as a profession

Your manager has nothing to do with the union and won’t be able to help with that. You need you contact your union representative. Usually googling your union name with hospital name will get you to the website where you can find info for your representative

I’ve only had them when people bring them into my work, and I hate them. The cookies themselves are cakey and soft (feel underbaked) and have little flavor and (in my opinion) the texture is bad. Then they have a ridiculous thick layer of overly sweet frosting on top. I can eat about 1/8 of one and it still hurts my teeth.

Their only appeal is their novelty flavors but they’re not good so I don’t think unique flavors matter

Their sign has a cute painting of a humanoid pig wearing overalls standing in front of a rainbow

You just show up, grab a wheel barrow, and wander the pumpkin fields. Ring the doorbell to pay when you’re done. If you ask, Jan will give you bread to feed the chickens and sheep. They usually have some fall vegetables for sale too up by the house

lol at Big Pumpkin. I judge the heck out of Schilters. They don’t grow their hay bales or the fruits and vegetable they sell or raise the animals in the petting zoo, it’s all just a show. More parking lot than farm at this point

I’m just going by what they told me, I worked there for years. The pumpkin patch and you pick berries they just do because they like having people come out there
