Reply To: working the night shift

oh thats what you meant. yes i read up on seizures; the picu has textbooks, binders put together for the nurses to research diseases etc. ativan, phenytoin, banzel, vimpat, topamax (those meds were ones i gave for a dif epilepsy pt who was s/p status epilepticus 12 hrs before)

had to do research on another case this week-case of pertussis; i knew more than the nurse who told me this was her first case of pertussis. also had to learn about dvt, pe, heparin therapy in children, jp drains, and other stuff i did not expect in peds.

i totally would want to see brain surgery. nuero is fascinating to me
