1. Steer clear of this company!!

   NurseDennie replied to NurseDennie's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks so much, everybody. I've kind of gone back to my normal, apathetic state. I think I've decided that this is some 13 year old monkey-child, and he's thrown this program together because something bad happened to his family and they can't affor...

2. Has anyone noticed the # of guests we have on the bb?

   NurseDennie replied to RNIAM's topic in General Nursing

   Well, isn't there some advice or rule or something that you SHOULD lurk for a while so you kinda get the feel of things and don't go upsetting people? Love Dennie

3. Steer clear of this company!!

   NurseDennie replied to NurseDennie's topic in General Nursing

   P_RN, Hi. I just went there and downloaded. I think it's going to work perfectly. I really don't need the info on my palm, this will work better, since the info is already on the onetouch, and I can just fill in the meds and carbs, etc., when I g...

4. Steer clear of this company!!

   NurseDennie replied to NurseDennie's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the advice and everything, guys. I had thought about the BBB, but I also want to punish this guy (I assume it's a guy) so I'm also looking to see if the company sells on Ebay or whatever that other place is where people sell stuff, and co...

5. Steer clear of this company!!

   NurseDennie posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi - I hope this is the forum that will be seen by the most nurses in general, and especially nurses who work with diabetics and diabetic educators. The name of the company is Armed for Life.com I bought what LOOKED like really nice programs for my ...

6. continuous oral contraceptive use?

   NurseDennie replied to natsfanrn's topic in General Nursing

   Hi - I just happen to be here when you post, and I thought I'd stick my 2cents worth in. Probably the quickest and easiest way to get a good answer would be to call either your GYNs office, or talk with your pharmacist. I know that what you're des...

7. heparin injections

   NurseDennie replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Safety

   I'm in research now, so I don't administer meds. But when I did, I would always change the needle when giving Lovenox. Those needles are DULL. Love Dennie

8. Kansas City area anyone?

   NurseDennie replied to louloubell1's topic in General Nursing

   I lived in Overland Park from the time I was about 11 to when I was 17. I loved it. I wish I'd never left!!!! That doesn't tell you anything about what you were wondering about work, pay levels, etc., but I just REALLY wanted to mention how much I ...

9. If Jerry Springer did a show on Bad Patients

   NurseDennie replied to gwenith's topic in Humor

   A friend of my daughter's was on Jerry's show. He was playing a role, wasn't his story, wasn't his name, weren't his family/friends. So yeah, the people do exist, but they're Fakes. Which we had to surmise, when they're too angry to keep from hitti...

10. help me understand

    NurseDennie replied to blue280's topic in Psychiatric

    ((((((Darn Mom)))))) I'm sorry not to have any words of wisdom, because I don't understand, either. I'll be thinking and sending good thoughts and vibes as you deal with this. Love Dennie

11. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

    NurseDennie replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Taken out because it wasn't really about the thread topic. Sorry! Love Dennie

12. More Strange Baby Names

    NurseDennie replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ShandyLynn, I dunno, I guess it's just tradition. I like it. Being both Roman Catholic AND British, I've got a LOT of names! And so do my daughters. I also gave my maiden name to both my daughters. I know I have brothers with sons to carry on th...

13. Circumcision Debate

    NurseDennie replied to steve brock's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have been happy about having a son circ'd. But I wouldn't have made a huge "deal" about it. I told my hubby he could choose if we had a boy because I didn't have a bone to pick!!! Heh - get it? But anyway, the 17 year old son of a frien...

14. Do your dying patient's have company?

    NurseDennie replied to mchospicern's topic in Hospice

    Hellllllo Nurse, I'd like to read your story, too. I absolutely believe that people get help when it's time to go. Especially if they're having a hard time of it. And I've heard some stories, and read some on this board that give me such a feeling o...

15. Let's talk about acrylic nails ...

    NurseDennie replied to SC RN's topic in Professionalism

    I worked with a nurse who had very nice, tasteful acrylic nails. It was against hospital policy, but it wasn't really enforced. Anyway, one change of shift, she and I were standing in the hallway, talking and she drew up some med, "flicked" it with ...
