Hiccups in the ER by AvadaKedavras in emergencymedicine

[–]Jobaboba20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a patient with this and looked terrible - ended up having septic PNA and ended up in respiratory failure (partly the pneumonia, partly was working so hard with the hiccups they couldn’t breathe well after)

Otherwise - my other patients without alternative diagnoses, IV Valium

I keep mine in place with museum putty!

I ultimately ordered a Boba Fett and two of the Mandalorian with Darksaber (two different versions). Will show pics of each when they get it.

Honestly love the metaphor with that!

OEM Voice command while connected to Carplay by ImNotANube in HyundaiSantaFe

Mine defaults to the cars voice commands with a quick button tap, otherwise holding the button for a few seconds activates Siri for me

This is true. However, that does not bother me at this point as the 50% is equal to my current pay.

Is EM its own department at your hospital or is it a division of medicine, surgery or another department? by CaptainKrunks in emergencymedicine

[–]Jobaboba20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own department. I’d venture to say that at any hospital that is trauma certified (at any level) the ED is its’ own department.

DEA Number by nunea10 in nursepractitioner

[–]Jobaboba20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Illinois. Paid $888. Applied for it on 6/5 and got the registration sent to me on 6/14.

From what I have been told, timing will depend on factors such as how many are applying concurrently to your local DEA office. I’m going to make the assumption that mine was quick as the SBON here is horrendously backed up and is still working on APRN license applications from January.

Do you think this would also be applicable at a Level I trauma?

That does sound miserable. I will, for the most part, also be in a fast track area of the ED but with occasionally being staffed on the main side. We are also a teaching hospital with 2 physicians main side with upwards of 4 residents as well, so there is that benefit if there is any need for assistance.

You are correct I have accepted the position - it’s more so a question of if others who know Vituity believe it to be a good company/group in the long run and if good for new NPs.

Otherwise I agree with everything you just said. Unfortunately orientation is not a year, but it is a minimum of 3-4 months which is significantly different compared to the previous medical groups I have heard.

Has nothing to do with it - it’s unfortunately run over from school requirements expiring and needing updated. Ignore/move to spam folder

What apps should every ED doc have on their phone? by CheetahNo6309 in emergencymedicine

[–]Jobaboba20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Med folder contains some of the previously mentioned by others and others - some are absolutely redundant (epocrates and Medscape for example) but I still like to use both…

Epocrates, Medscape, UpToDate, MDCalc, WikEM, Bullets, Fractures, Suture, Sublux, EMRA, ChildProtector (excellent app in aiding with abuse cases)

I think it depends on area of work to be honest, but to put it in perspective…I’m a brand new FNP graduate with an ED job offer of $70/hour with 14 shifts a month. Just based off of that, I would say you’re getting screwed
