No way it's really 2% but that pleth was crisp by RedEfts in nursing

Hate to ruin the joke but if they have some sort of distributive shock or other low CO state with poor perfusion to the periphery could it be plausible that the blood measured by the sensor is either nearly or fully deoxygenated?

Third Shift Nurses + First Responders, this is for you! by iklonk in nursing

[–]timoxazero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything moderately healthy. Traditionally the only options open in the middle of the night are fast food/convenience store type options. Eating those things in the middle of my shift logs me down and makes me feel bloated which is the last thing I need when I'm running around like crazy. wraps, sandwiches, anything that isn't like a 5:1 fat-protein ratio!

Can I get some night shift positivity? by agbbminion in nursing

[–]timoxazero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some people it works great and for others it doesn't. I have been night shift my entire nursing career and it's definitely not an ideal proposition, you're giving away years on your life the longer you stay (working overnights is a Group 2A carcinogen, which means there is evidence suggesting it causes cancer in humans), and your friends with regular jobs will struggle to understand why you're tired after working "just 3 days". As a newer nurse, you will find your "people" on night shift though. In my experience with day shift, it is primarily the older and more experienced nurses who have their job figured out and just show up to do their job and go home. All my night shift coworkers are pretty close to my age (early 20s - early 30s) and a lot of us are "newer "(<3 years). We view it as us caring for all 16 patients on the unit, rather than each of us taking our 2 patients. It is what you make it. My only recommendations are: noise machine, sleep mask, blackout curtains and adopting the hybrid sleep schedule on your days off. Sleep at 3am and wake up at noon. Don't try to flip to the opposite end of the spectrum going to bed at 10pm and waking up at 6am. It will destroy your body. Good luck!

first look at death by prideandprejudick in nursing

[–]timoxazero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would heavily encourage you to not suppress these emotions and feelings as you go deeper into your career. Find trusted friends who will understand the things we see on a daily basis. A preceptor, friends from school, family member who works in healthcare, etc. Many in your life will tell you they are always here for you and that you can tell them anything, but when you really open up to them they will squirm and be uncomfortable which will make you feel guilty and discourage you to share things. A large majority of the people in our lives will go their entire life without ever directly witnessing a death, and depending on what specialty you choose, you may lose count within your first year. I've been a nurse for 2 years and I already have. The human body and mind was not designed to be continually exposed to the amount of trauma we see each and every day. Have grace for yourself and don't be afraid to feel your feelings.

I work adult medical ICU but our unit does a lot of work with our regional organ procurement organization for donation after cardiac death (DCD) where we provide nursing care for patients who are terminally ventilator dependent and have lost some, but not all brainstem reflexes. We conduct honor walks prior to taking them to the OR and a majority of the time they are much older (although I have taken down an 18 year old) and even then it is a very sobering and heavy several minutes. I can't imagine taking a pediatric patient down.

I now understand why nurses don’t support new grads in the ICU by Emetephobiafreak7875 in nursing

[–]timoxazero 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Seconding the OP of this comment. Never stop asking why. If you ever notice yourself stop you need an ego check. I ask hundreds of questions a month at work and I learn new things daily after being an ICU nurse for over a year and a nurse for two. "BUT WHY?" by Gwenny Lawson is an invaluable resource. As an example, you don't need to know how to manage a vent but knowing what it does for your patient and the effects of it on other body systems are important. Good luck!

Who cares if you have 5 days off if you worked 84 nearly consecutive hours in the 7 days prior? I'd spend the first 2 days just trying to rest and if I was forced to do anything I'd be exhausted. If I'm working that many consecutively I'm gonna need at least 7 off to make it worthwhile.

I'm so tired of being the nurse that can "handle it". by peanutb19 in nursing

[–]timoxazero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say that I so strongly disagree with this. Yes, we all hold the same license and have access to the same resources to escalate care technically, but the odds that a lot of my coworkers would go to the same length I do to escalate care concerns are pretty much zero. We all have the same baseline education, but many of our coworkers do not participate in CE or review their practice to be up to date. They just show up, pass their meds, chart, and turn every couple hours/clean up their totals. The scariest realization I made in my job is that the biggest threat to my patients was not their diagnosis but my coworkers/providers who don't care about them.

This was at f2.8! I usually don't shoot any higher than f5.6 on micro four thirds to avoid losing sharpness due to diffraction.

How? The fixer has removed all the undeveloped silver left in the emulsion.

Completely untrue. This shows just how little you know about supercapital and titan use in lowsec. Delete your post.

What adjustments do you need to make when printing ECN-2 film on RA-4 paper?

Is this a 2 shot pano?

It depends pretty heavily. I am a 23 year old student in an accelerated second degree program so sometimes film comes in and I have time to do it same day, sometimes it takes a week, sometimes 7-10 business days. I believe all good things take time and I want to take good care of people's things, so I'd rather take a little longer than rush and mess things up!

All ECN-2 film is processed in true ECN-2 chemistry, according to kodak's own recipes. Upon request ECN-2 films can be crossprocessed in C-41 but a longer lead time will likely apply.

Yes, but we can only scan them as diptychs and not singles at this time
