Before I begin my nursing story, I need to give a little background. While I was still in the stages of taking pre-requisites for the nursing program, my mother died. She had cancer and was bedridden for a long while before she died. She developed a stage IV pressure ulcer, which caused her to become septic. With the sepsis came uncontrollable shaking and the doctor prescribed Thorazine to be given regularly around the clock. My stepsister, who was a nurse, gave it as prescribed.
