  1. R u guys running into bed bugs alot???

    I would think hospitals are realitively safe because the mattress and pillows are pretty water tight so the little critters aren't likely to be able to imbed themselves into soft fabric like a...
  2. What else is going on that there is a night nurse. That could explain alot. If there is another condition that involves meds, then an unstable BG I would think is expected. For example, IV...
  3. Did you hate your life in nursing school??

    As a 1L (a first year law student) I got the best advice from a professor EVER. "be careful who you compare yourself with" His point was that we all had different strengths and outside...
  4. BA in psychology to a BSN

    For our local ABSN programs you had to have your prereq's done before you started and most before you applied. I have a BS in engineering, did a year of law school and almost finished an MSW before...
  5. We used home hospice services for my father. He had lymphoma and from the day we were told the cancer was back until he died was 15 days. We were fortunate that he had a nasty aggressive cancer. I...
  6. Pregnant and in Nursing School....

    Every pregnancy is different. I think you are cutting it really close. If you aren't able to finish the term, how much money are you going to be out? Repaying for classes that you almost finished...
  7. RN student and asking about personal meds?

    I do have concerns about the pre-employment physicals. Are they usually given after an offer is made?? I'm diabetic, can I do the job, YES. Am I going to be more expensive to insure ABSOLUTLY!! If...

  9. It's Not MY Responsibility to Get YOU Home...

    I actually did take the HPT in the target restroom with my #2. I had paid for the test but there is no way I was going to be able to wait until I got home. Once I had the idea it was happening I...
  10. Vaccine requirements

    I guess I need to call and clarify what I need to have. I had an MMR update when I went to college but that was more than a decade ago?? The Hep series seems that the titer is not reliable, as in...
  11. Vaccine requirements

    You have the option to do the titer or do the vaccine. It is a two shot series so it means dragging my 2 kids with me to public health for an additional trip. I am not in a time crunch but trying to...
  12. Vaccine requirements

    I have had the chicken pox several times. The last time I was 11 and sick enough to spend about a week in the hospital. Fortunatly, evidently that was enough to develop some immunity because I have...
  13. gun safety and children

    I would concentrate on the developmental aspect. Find assessment tools that talk about what is reasonable for a 10 year old. Think about brain development and the capcity of a 10 year old to reason...
  14. healthcare cost

    I just got an ED bill of 1/2 a liter of IV fluid that my son needed on the 4th of July, following an eventful recovery from having his tonsils removed. More than $3000 for a 3 hour stay, an IV start...
  15. extra shifts

    When I was young I worked at the ticket counter for a major airline. This was in the pre-caller ID days. You learned really fast not to answer the phone on your days off. If they talked to you, you...
