I got one of my ebay gems in the mail today!!!! It's not one of the journals I've been writing about but instead it is some nursing notes on a single patient from 6/16/1889. It doesn't give a dx but it does give ALL nursing notes. I have to admit,...
ER might be able to help. Is it a med change issue? Something the ER/ED doc can actually do? If writing an Rx will help they probably can help you. If I were you I would start with your psych. Call and push the heck out of the receptionist until you...

Nobody should tolerate a hostile working environment, nobody. However when it comes to customer service, that's life. Nursing is changing for the good and bad and this is one of the changes. The hospitals that are not making these changes are the hos...
And that is exactly what they are too! Our little babies. I have my three pounder and 10 pounder on my lap as I type. I can't move around because it will wake them. LOL

I think you might be assuming that is the case everywhere and that's just not true. I see ads all the time for schools offering vet tech/asst. programs, 9 months and you are out the door working your new career. I've lived in five states and none o...
I don't have a problem with moderation and I never did. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I have nothing to PM you about, I asked a question, you answered, I understand, and that's all. Nothing more.
One thought is to try Crocs brand. The way the shoes fit is to NOT touch the sides of your feet. If they fit properly the only part of the shoe that should touch your foot is the bottom. There should be a bit of air between the sides/top of your f...
I wonder why we don't push for better protection in a hospital. Seriously, why don't we get the same thing the VAs get? How come we pay taxes so others can have protection but we can't? Life is changing and hospitals are changing. We take care of ...
