1. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

   registeredliz replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

   For once in my life, I feel like this question has a very straightforward answer. It would be #3. The pt. is showing significant signs of fluid overload (aeb SOB, crackles in lungs, 4+ pitting edema is a lot (!), and RR of 24), and has said that she...

2. The Wise Nurse Speaks

   registeredliz replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   I love this article you wrote so much that I am actually tearing up a bit. The basis of this is why I became a nurse in the first place. You describe it so perfectly. :) As they always say, "The more you see, the less you know." Hmm, actually those m...

3. PearsonVue trick

   registeredliz replied to RNReadyManc's topic in NCLEX

   The exact same thing happened to me, minus the crying though. I was more in a daze and felt nothing on my way back from the NCLEX. 75 questions, 2 hours, and I was certain I had to have failed. Afterward, it really was like being in some kind of feel...

4. Is your workplace haunted?

   registeredliz replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

   Jeweles26, I did not write my comment with the intention of offending anyone, so if I have offended you, I apologize. I was merely stating my point of view (with the intent to be as unbiased as possible). So.. enjoy your Kool-Aid? Kidding aside, plea...

5. Stomach growling? Are you hungry?

   registeredliz replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   My stomach used to make crazy noises at the worst times - notably during tests! I was so embarassed and tried so hard to hide my laughter. If any of the professors saw me laughing and singled me out for it, I would have to explain that my stomach was...

6. Sometimes it's impossible not to giggle...

   registeredliz replied to AtivanIM's topic in Humor

   LOL! I've had a client suddenly decide that I'm a male - even though never in my life have I heard I look anything like a male! She told me I was a "sexy young lad" and she asked me if I was "going home on the bus too" - it got to a point where I ha...

7. I am Afraid. Please Pray for Me.

   registeredliz replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality

   This is a wonderful article. :) I find that as an atheist, I am prone to forgetting the varying degrees of importance of religion in clients' everyday lives. In all honesty, religion itself is an idea that is very foreign (and nonsensical) to me, so ...

8. Is your workplace haunted?

   registeredliz replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

   Although I can see how this would be fun to talk about in the spirit of Halloween, I do find this subject to be one that frustrates me to hear about. Although we are all entitled to our religious and afterlife beliefs, I find the beliefs in these ...
