   shellyscorner replied to payang0722's topic in Hospice

   Yup ... Don't I feel silly! I actually saw that .. but NOT until AFTER I'd already posted my question! It's a shame too. I sounded like it had some really good information!

3. Non-pitting edema and rating

   shellyscorner replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand HOW you can rate something that you can't OBJECTIVELY measure ... (I've never heard of rating NONpitting edema... which of course does NOT mean that it can't be or isn't done... It just means that I've never heard of it. ) Now, the...

4. Being called an idiot

   shellyscorner replied to historylovinglpn's topic in Relations

   Yeah, my observations have been that a male nurse might be able to get away with that, but a female nurse, . . . not as likely. . .

   Actually, I think it may have more to do with the "God Complex" that so many of them seem to develop!

   I guess a poor excuse is better than none?

   Oh MAN! A pop quiz!?! Holy Cow! And not just a pop quiz, but a PUBLIC pop quiz! Okay . . . I'll try to represent . . . (What'cha bet I NEVER forget the answers!?!) I assume (bad thing to be doing!) that you'll send me corrections to my answers . . .!...

9. Is this common?

   shellyscorner replied to pepino23's topic in General Nursing

   Oh! Ouch! That doesn't seem fair. There is a difference between specialty and super-sonic subspecialty. But hey, I'm just a student. What do I know!?!

    shellyscorner replied to shellyscorner's topic in Safety

    As to the boundaries, I can't say that you might not have a point. I certainly need to give that some thought. I know I certainly FELT for her. But beyond that, I really hadn't thought through it, except my surprise with the dosage and the doctor's m...

    shellyscorner replied to shellyscorner's topic in Safety

    Wow! Ok, good to know . . . I've just not had much experience with patients on Ativan, at all. In a previous post I commented back to someone and said: ". . . it was the amount that concerned me. It just seemed like so much. Although, when I lo...

14. Treating Respiratory Failure With Ativan/Lorazapam

    shellyscorner replied to shellyscorner's topic in Safety

    That's a little scary. Doesn't that put the patient on a pretty slippery slope? It seems to me that in a patient that was having trouble getting diagnosed to begin with, that that could really be damaging to the patient's well being? Not to sound ove...

    shellyscorner replied to shellyscorner's topic in Safety

    I'm sorry you feel that way. But no,that's not correct. And yes, your right! That would violate the TOS! Frankly, I didn't have a PDR at home.
