   hydralazine must have misspelled and spellcheck changed it above. Okay. Ordered Taco Bell on my phone, paid online with GooglePay and picked up my order after I went to the grocery store. I kind of have a love-hate relationship with my phone a...

   Hope TMB is doing okay. I haven't been on the political forums where were normally interact. I may decide to wait out all the Trump trial madness and the election before I decide to read and post there, but then again I probably can't help myself a...

   Good morning! Hope Dory continues to improve. I've been fortunate that none of my five dogs have been bothered by thunder. Good thing because we get almost daily thunderstorms in the Summer. Maybe they are acclimated to it as Floridian pu...

   Good morning! Happy Nurse's Week! Stars, one day you will be alone. It certainly has to be aggravating and tiring what you're going through. Funny, all three of us siblings are loners. My sister was always the more outgoing and was ma...

   Good morning! Joe, that's pretty cool you made a connection at the potlucks to see outside of there. Not much happening here. Dog woke me up at 5:15 and I had trouble sleeping so I've been up since. Want to see a movie with best friend ...

   Did I make an error?

   Tweety replied to Wolfmoon_'s topic in General Nursing

   When I have a low blood pressure like that and I'm treating it and not calling a rapid, I will still make the rapid nurse aware. "I have a patient with this low of a blood pressure, and the doctor ordered a bolus." just so the rapid nurse can follow...

   Acute rehab vs Med/surg vs General surgery

   Tweety replied to Jen5253's topic in General Nursing

   Our acute rehab is relatively easy as OT gets them dressed and then they are in therapies much of the day,. but it also can be like a nursing home and heavy work with toileting, etc. Med-surg is tough and demanding but as was said above you'll l...

   Cotinine urine screening pre employment

   Tweety replied to CWS RN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm surprised you haven't heard this. It's been controversial but I heard about it years ago. People feel it's a violation of their privacy and choice. I'm not sure it's legal in all states or what the court challenges have turned up but it'...

    G'day. Joe, enjoy your day. Stars, sorry for the sleep trouble. I know that feeling well. Dogs let me sleep until 7AM but Waffles was not having it that I wanted to sleep later. Went to an 11AM yoga class. I noticed they'd stop...

    G'day! Dianah, that soup sounds good. I've been craving Mexican or American Mex. and almost ordered Taco Bell last night. I usually keep my Bluetooth and wifi off as I heard it uses up the battery and turn it on as necessary. J22, I...

    The Movie Thread

    Tweety replied to Tweety's topic in Lounge

    June Again is an Australian movie out on Amazon Prime that I really enjoyed. The main character is very well acted and revolves around a woman with vascular dementia after a stroke that mysteriously gets a reprieve and comes back to life to her old ...

    Good morning! Joe, hope today is easier on you. (I asked the mods to change your post to reflect that it's Wednesday today and not Tuesday. Had me confused for a minute.) I looked for an over-50 or seniorish group here and knew there was ...

    Great pictures Dianah. I've been way out of the loop news wise lately, listening sporadically rather than trying to keep up daily like I usually do. I think with it being an election year, I can't stand the news. I hate sometimes how it's pres...

    Pain Journey

    Tweety replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Exercise

    Good luck. I was in neck pain for three months and went insane, so can't imagine all those years. On a side note and I'm not giving any advice at all, but I had a good friend with psoriatic arthritis and breakouts that went vegan and it improve...
