   Always aspirate!!!!!!! Think of the worst case scenario. How would you explain yourself if you accidentally went into a vein and there was some sort of complication because of this? That you didn't do what you were suppose to do? And, I once got a te...

   LPN from Florida, can I ask what kinds of meds you are currently on? I, too, have been told to move South. I thought that the warm weather was just a myth but a lot of people have told me that it helps. Thanks for the advice!

   Thank you Paerrn20 for your advice! I am thinking that I will do med/surg for one year, just to practice skills and then I either may teach or do psych nursing (psych nurses always work only 8 hour shifts!). I will definitely stay out of the ED and ...

   sim-sim future nurse replied to sim-sim future nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I am so glad that you responded to my thread! I was beginning to wonder if I should or shouldn't work in a hospital because of the Prednisone (I am on a low dose of 10mg a day) and if I start taking the HUMIRA. HUMIRA does suppress your immune syste...
