   hell0kittygyrl replied to lifeisgood2012's topic in New Nurse

2. Please Help - I have no where else to turn

   hell0kittygyrl replied to abbaking's topic in Relations

   So sorry this happened. I am new to nursing but had a similar situation happen in my last profession. Take a few days to calm down, regroup, and look at it with fresh eyes. Your doctor will probably give you a note for that. Ask yourself if it's ...

3. Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

   hell0kittygyrl replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Relations

   I think her embarassment and the gossip will be punishment enough. Seriously, I guess it depends on the facility policy; many have rules about fraternization, don't they?

4. Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

10. Apothecary Measurements

    hell0kittygyrl replied to StudentNrseMcFarland's topic in Student Assist

    One ounce is 8 drams, one gram is 15 grains, 1 mL is 15-16 minims, 1 dram is 4 mL, and one grain is 60 mg. They aren't that accurate, and we just had to memorize them for our dosage class. The only one we ever used was the 1 gr = 60 mg.
