1. Ambulances?

   haras regnurps replied to Fiona59's topic in International

   almost good to hear that other parts of the world have the same problems that we have in the states. Are all of your ambulances run by the goverment and a part of the health system or are they privately owned. In the states there is a combination of ...

2. "No self- respecting nurse"

   haras regnurps replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

5. "No self- respecting nurse"

   haras regnurps replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

   that is a ditto from me................sometimes techs forget:banghead: (who butters the bread and ices their cake). i have yet to see any scrub tech do a case without a circulator.

6. "No self- respecting nurse"

   haras regnurps replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Operating Room

   No self-respecting surgeon would dare to say such a horendous thing ( unless he was trying to pick a fight ). He/she doesn't really know what goes on in the OR. what a shame. Maybe his med school did not actually follow a case from the very start unt...

    haras regnurps replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    L- sounds like you are getting the advice that you asked for. I might add some very good advice. When you become a full fledged nurse you will still be a human being. Humans are human. We are not invincable and no matter how perfect any of us thinks...

13. Surgery went well!

    haras regnurps replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not patients that have had their sternum sawed open do not hurt nearly as much as Thoracotomy incisions or Abd. incisions. They use far less pain meds during their entire hospital stays than some C-section patients. It has to do with ...
