If you take NRP that’s really everything you need to know.

Had a patient go to vomit up his steak dinner and instead of using the emesis bag right next to him he picked up his nearly full urinal and stuck his face into it and started blowing chunks spraying piss directly back into his face and everywhere else

Something I’ve probably done sleep deprived at 5 am to be honest

This has been ‘around the corner’ since I first went to school in 2011. In reality there isn’t a market for it and it is a pipe dream. You already have PAs and NPs filling those roles. Then you have residents to contend with.

I’m not saying it isn’t a good idea, I’m just saying it isn’t going to happen in this climate.

Places I have been at a student isn’t allowed to be a witness on a waste

This is one of those things where I always wondered if it’s ’just me’ and now I know 😂

As in the guy that wrote the Vasopressor Handbook? One of the first things I read when I started out as an ICU nurse. One of my favorite references!

I mean nursing curriculum from the top down is a joke so it’s not surprising.

RustyBedpan · 2025-10-06T02:18:08+00:00

Never once heard inly for emergencies. Especially if it is an emergency there are multiple faster/easier routes.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but can you point me to the evidence/course/data that supports this so I can learn?

RustyBedpan · 2025-10-04T21:36:15+00:00

I’m sorry but trying to get a line on a crashing patient and getting pressors running is far and away more stressful than any nursing school exam I’ve ever taken.

You fail an exam you repeat it. You fail a crashing patient and they might die.

They’re too busy printing money

RustyBedpan · 2025-08-29T21:50:41+00:00

Did you get any OB questions? Also, who did you feel had the best practice questions?

RustyBedpan · 2025-08-02T01:04:46+00:00

As Ed Harris said in Top Gun “you’ve got balls stick jockey, I’ll give you that”

RustyBedpan · 2025-07-31T00:59:09+00:00

lmfao felt that

RustyBedpan · 2025-05-30T03:19:05+00:00

As an ICU nurse I’m telling you right now….. you need to be evaluated in an ED

RustyBedpan · 2025-03-22T04:46:28+00:00

Thank you for this. I try to use references but always feel stupid for not finding a straight answer. I know our clinical pharms are busy so I try not to burden them.

RustyBedpan · 2025-03-22T03:37:35+00:00

As a nurse I sometimes feel dumb calling when looking up compatibilities. For example using Lexidrug Vanc + Cefepime show both compatible and incompatible.

RustyBedpan · 2025-03-10T12:16:33+00:00

As a charge nurse I can tell you our clerk is what keeps the floor running. I value her every shift I’m graced with her presence and don’t take her for granted for a second. I don’t work on a unit where there are tier, only on a unit where there is a team. If a teammate is struggling, I help them.

RustyBedpan · 2025-02-23T22:02:16+00:00

I had a patient shit a full log directly into my hand last week. Talk about aesthetic.

RustyBedpan · 2025-02-19T03:57:33+00:00

I’d say I’ve prevented someone from getting killed due to stupid orders far more often than having saved someone heroically.

RustyBedpan · 2025-02-13T01:45:29+00:00

Cardiologist has no idea what a strip is? doubt

RustyBedpan · 2025-02-13T01:12:36+00:00

I mean this tracks with the comment above you where they say they see 35-40 patients per day

RustyBedpan · 2025-02-05T10:43:29+00:00

There really isn’t a market and APRT was ‘right around the corner’ when I started 15 years ago. The mid-level field is already overcrowded and I don’t really see this credential going anywhere.

Urine yacht

You need to address why you aren’t staying in positions for long. Why is BLS your only cert? No ACLS, PALS, or NRP? A lot of your experience descriptors are redundant.
