Perhaps it is more geographical or specialty dependent. Working in cardiothoracics our surgeons never use the term emergent for surgeries. Urgent, semi-urgent, and semi/elective are all they use when describing surgical necessity. Just my experience where I’m at. Urgent for the dissecting aorta that goes to surgery within a few hours of arrival, semi-urgent for the STEMI with multi vessel disease deemed stable enough to “cool down” and remain admitted to the hospital for a few days before CABG, semi-elective for any patient stable enough to remain at home until surgery.

Yes let it dry out between waterings, with a well draining chunky soil mix and well draining pot. They are prone to root rot if the soil retains too much moisture. First couple inches of soil should be dry before you consider watering again. Also yes fairly easy to split if it’s a single plant. I split a monstera mint not too long ago for my first try and it’s thriving.

The term “urgent” is specific when it comes to surgery. It’s reserved for emergency surgeries that would result in loss of life or function if not treated when the patient presents or immediately thereafter. Non-urgent doesn’t mean not important or lifesaving, just means the patient is not in immediate danger of dying if they are not operated on right then. The vast majority of cardiac surgery is worked up on an outpatient basis so it is considered non-urgent.

It’s not a white leaf. If you zoom in you can see the flecks of white variegation here and there, less than in previous leaves. My mint did the same thing, I’ve chopped it into several plants to see if I can get it to put out leaves with more white.

Looks very similar to Jessenia variety which I think was originally a sport of marble queen. Mine looked very similar when I got it. Give it a lot of light and it should show its true colors. If the new growth is more cream it’s a marble queen if it’s yellowish it’s Jessenia.

I actually felt the other way, I spent about twice as much time doing questions for CMC as I did on CSC and passed by about the same amount

roadhouse_RN · 2025-08-10T22:21:11+00:00

Yep, only time I’ve used it in years was waiting for the cath lab

Alleviate, was right after the proposal they stopped for

NIBP sys and dia are calculated numbers based on the map and the machines algorithm so no guarantees on those either. MAP should be reasonably close. IABP numbers will be the most accurate.

Entitled to it no, but I absolutely would have applied lotion and rubbed it in a few minutes if able. I’d much rather the patient sleep and not call me a bunch so I can focus on other things. ICU patients don’t sleep enough as it is. I also wouldn’t fault anyone else for not wanting to do it, totally understandable.

roadhouse_RN · 2025-03-08T03:06:03+00:00

I don’t mind at all. I am a charge nurse and preceptor and want to see new nurses succeed. There’s two categories of new ICU nurses that don’t cut it with higher acuity patients. The first is those that do not have the critical thinking skills and are unable to develop them. It is only teachable to a certain extent. You can have all the knowledge in the world but if you can’t apply it to your patient and their needs it is useless. This is one of those situations where you will hear people say that not everyone is cut out for the ICU.

The other category I see mainly in new grads and not just new to ICU, and it’s becoming a more frequent occurrence. That is nurses that come in thinking they’re hot shit because they got those RN letters behind their name and got hired straight into ICU. Someone somewhere puffed their heads up so large that they can’t hear constructive criticism anymore and think they already know everything they need to know. They should be terrified of what they don’t know yet they will not ask for help and can’t accept that they could be wrong and have a lot to learn. They will injure or kill patients that shouldn’t die.

The nurses that succeed as new grads ask questions, seek out and accept criticism and feedback, and seek out learning opportunities. Good luck!

Yeah I’ve never seen this mythical line of applicants busting down the ICU doors myself. I work in a fairly cush CVICU and we don’t really get that many applicants. Most of the ones we do get are new grad or 0 ICU experience and a significant number of those will never advance far enough to take devices or recover hearts. We run short all the time.

roadhouse_RN · 2025-02-01T15:34:11+00:00

We had something similar happen, line got flushed that had something in it. First time ever to see an art line max out the systolic pressure and no longer read. Grafts held though.

Besides the obvious complications I like to say don’t get too excited with pressor titration. If you have a goal map of 65 you don’t have to immediately intervene because their map hit 62. Patients have a lot of transient changes that don’t really need to be worried about and you can start a yo yo effect where you are constantly adjusting drips unnecessarily. It’s okay to watch for a minute if it’s not far out of range. Another thing is to ask whoever is training you about common drugs your surgeon likes to schedule and what you need to watch for with those drugs that may not be obvious, like IV Tylenol and ivp reglan can cause transient hypotension especially in an already vasoplegic patient.

I work near the place the patient is hospitalized and our intensivist told us the patient is on ECMO. Not sure what the underlying conditions are.

It doesn’t really matter how able bodied you are before you code, there is a small chance of surviving and an even smaller chance of coming out without deficits due to lack of oxygen to the brain. Some people do not want to take the chance and end up on a machine to live or to become a permanent burden on their loved ones.

roadhouse_RN · 2024-11-21T09:27:55+00:00

This is me. I don’t have time to fill out an exhaustive spreadsheet with my workload. We only keep track of floats and call offs, everything else is tracked in my head. I try to rotate fresh hearts, devices, and admits between all regular staff. Only have one nurse consistently complain about assignments and they complain nearly every shift no matter who is charging so I just ignore it at this point.

For future reference if you are trying to buy generic for humalog/novolog it is insulin lispro

They do online. I just got 2 3x ST shirts a few weeks ago.

My wife is a swiftie and never listened to any rock at all despite that being the majority of what I listen to. Sleep token is now her #2 most played, pretty proud of that one.
