  1. I can't start at 6. There's a reason I can't go into, but it has to be 630. I just can't ever see myself getting this all done in 15
  2. I just started at a new job, and haven't had to do a med pass in quite some time. The unit I am on is small, about 20 patients. Morning meds are to be started at 6am. My patients have an average of...

    Thanks, I had no
  4. Sterilize and Reuse Mask

    The president also said we can do this. He had no specifics on this either. Because it can't be
  5. I feel very torn

    I am really struggling with this, so much so that I've erased this a dozen times. I am on the old side, and a severe asthmatic who has had seven bouts with pneumonia in my life. The position I'm...
  6. Headache for three weeks

    I had been taking Tylenol #3, which really didn't do anything except make me MORE tired. Motrin 800 did nothing as well. The IV Toradol worked great, but that is, obviously, not practical for...

  11. Elevated cortisol level- what does it mean?

    My calcium was fine, and no, they did not do a dexamethasone suppression test. I know that cortisol levels can be elevated at different times of the day and that these times will be different than...
  12. Elevated cortisol level- what does it mean?

    Yeah, I thought the same thing. I asked to speak to a nurse when I called and the nasty receptionist told me, "We don't have any nurses here," and I thought, well, THAT explains a lot right there! I...
  13. Elevated cortisol level- what does it mean?

    I am, but I checked them out and none of them should interfere with this test. As far as my doctor being there for me (which someone else posted), the doc who ordered this test refuses to have...

  15. I will try to be brief here: I went to the endocrinologist and had an extensive workup done for polycystic ovarian syndrome because I am fat, hairy, have bad skin and have a mom and sister with PCOS....
