I love hemodynamics lab values Vital signs

1 Does anyone else? I'm an ICU nurse so I think if it I didn't there would be a problem haha.

Maybe that's part of the reason I want to do CRNA
I really like fixing hemodynamically unstable pts, but wouldn't go so far as to say I love the numbers themselves. Need context around the values. Are you one of those icu rns who wants to review each and every lab during report from the er?

I was always happiest with the sickest of the sickest unstable open heart on every drip known to man and a surgeon that says...."I want a CO/CI of this, and a SVR of this, a wedge of this, make them stable..."

Quote from That GuyIsnt the the truth! Thats when you roll up your sleeves, put your stunner shades on and say, oh yeah I got this.

Hi guys,I am soooo envious! I fell in love with critical care nursing and I am trying my best to land a position in an ICU. The technical challenge is fascinating and it is so darn satisfying to see a patient come through in the end. I snortlaughed at the stunner shades comment.
