   RN4PatientCare replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

   I pull all my meds from the pyxis at the same time, one patient at a time of course, and place them in zip lock (lab) bags labeled with name and room#. Many nurses do this. Some floors have e-mar carts with drawers labeled by room and meds are pulle...

   RN4PatientCare replied to alkaleidi's topic in Emergency

6. Best footwear for Nurses

   RN4PatientCare replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

   http://www.zcoil.com/ I've had mine for 4 years, well worth the money...I only wear them for work. These shoes have virtually eliminated foot pain. Plus, a day never goes by that they are not a topic of conversation w/patients and families.

11. Would you rather have a child said to be SS or abort?

    RN4PatientCare replied to ICURN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just saw a story last night about "ss" being cured through bone marrow transplant! Now, if she went ahead and aborted then found out a cure became possible, could she live with that?
