  1. Any Deaf, Hard of hearing Nurses?

    Hello all, I'm new here, well not so new but haven't been active here for a good 2 1/2 years and I'm a pre-nursing student. I'm completely deaf and I wear a cochlear implant. My hearing aids were not powerful enough for me anymore so hence the cochl...
  2. Pacu??

    Oh okay thank you so much!! That is actually something I'm interested in! I've just heard it referred to as "after surgery care" which I didn't think was the proper title. Thanks a lot!
  3. Pacu??

    Hello all, it's been awhile since I last came to this website. I'm not in a nursing program just yet. I'm just doing research on what types of nursing is out there since I find all the different kinds of nursing fascinating. I've gotten some great in...
  4. USA Land of Opportunity?? YEAH RIGHT!

    Actually guys, I am leaving this forum which is why I haven't responded to some of the comments on here. I got quite a few nasty pm's after I posted this and I tried to ignore it but people will be people and pass their judgement on other people. May...
  5. ?? about lawsuit and doctor/hospital consequences

    I tried to post this before, so sorry if it ends up being doubled. I just also wanted to say thank you for educating me Elkpark. I didn't know that most doctors are not employees of the hospitals that they are allowed to do procedures at. I thought i...
  6. ?? about lawsuit and doctor/hospital consequences

    Elkpark, Thank you for clarifying that. I didn't know that doctors didn't have requirements to do if they wanted to do a special field.I knew that about nurses though. You would think that the rules for doctors would be so much more stricter than for...
  7. Bedside surgery with no sedation

    oh thats awful! My mom was in a bad motorcycle wreck almost two years ago with a collasped and punctured lung. They had to intubate her and my mom was so out of it that they had to do it in the ambulance on the way to the hospital and I don't think t...
  8. SOO UPSET! LVN school wait list

    I live in Texas. I didn't know that there are CNAs here in Texas... Hmm I will be doing some research on that since I would love to be able to work and go to school part time. I hear the programs no matter what you do are very hard once you get in ...
  9. Hi, I will give you a little back ground information on the situation before I ask my question. Before my husband and I got married his mom had a gastric bypass procedure. They went to this doctor that apparently was actually a general surgeon and he...
  10. USA Land of Opportunity?? YEAH RIGHT!

    Oops I accidentally hit the send button. I also meant to mention that my uncle has also offered to pay my hospital bills from this month if I can't get any assistance in doing so. My husband was soo happy when we figured all this out that he cried. M...
  11. USA Land of Opportunity?? YEAH RIGHT!

    UPDATE: It's amazing how quickly things can go from bad to worse then from there to just AMAZING!! I went to the mail box at my hubby's insistence since he was expecting some news from his family's lawyer since they were pursuing a lawsuit against a...
  12. USA Land of Opportunity?? YEAH RIGHT!

    Thanks EVERYBODY for their great advice and I know it is not as bad as it could be. I know some people who were actually homeless and going to high school with me but would not take any kind of "charity" because at one point I thought about offering ...
  13. USA Land of Opportunity?? YEAH RIGHT!

    LOL I did get a reality check so thank you! I just decided to suck it up and get a job and take the loans. Maybe you should have read the entire thread and all the posts, Medsurgnurse.
  14. IBUPROFEN question....

    Oh I have the same problem. I have to have all four of my wisdom teeth taken out and I can't even get in to a oral surgeon that will take people without medical/dental insurance. Plus I can't take iburofen because I used to have really bad migraines ...
  15. Anyone else with sacroiliitis?

    What is this illness ? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question but my dr. is testing me for that if there is a test for it. I am not a nursing student yet so I am fairly clueless as to what it is and how to find out if you have it or not.
