Thank you for posting this. I think it is important, being nurses, to know other cultural and religious beliefs regarding death and healthcare. Though I am agnostic, I will continue to look at this...

I replyed the way I did to show there was likely NO HARM DONE that would warrent a lawsuit.

Well, I am still surprised about this whole post. I completely understand why someone would be upset if this happened to their child. But to completely blow it out of proportion like this....? I...

Are you guys serious??? Jeez, I thought this was a board full of nurses who have been put in situations which a mistake could have happened??? Oh wait, we're all beyond reproach, right? We'd never...

Absolutely not advisable to give to yourself. People have serious allergic reactions to this. Think about it....you are being injected with a KNOWN substance which you are already highly allergic...

I don't know what white wall you are talking about but I encourage you to file a complaint against that physician. That should never be tolerated. Maybe you weren't afraid but many others would be,...

I am starting a distance education program for MSN in nursing education at St. Joseph's College of Maine. There is a 2 week summer residency requirement at some point during the program. I am at the...

I will preface this by saying that I'm not sure what exactly your 24 hour report sheet functions as. But, I don't understand why this couldn't be taken care of by you talking to her plainly and...

This is a great website. I take ACLS for the first time this tuesday and wednesday and am scared to death about it. This has helped my confidence and helped me focus a little. I will definately...

I do not know what the situation is with Air Force GS positions. I am a recent BSN grad (Dec04) and within a few months of graduating my husband who is Active duty Army was stationed in Germany. So...

Please take care of yourself. I agree with the other poster who said be his mom now not a nurse. Please try to surround yourself with friends and people who care about you. This is an emotional...

I have never known anyone to do that.

I'm a SSTI member. I was selected in nursing school and have so far kept my membership. I really like the pursuit of nursing scholarship and research. I'm very proud to have been inducted. I...

Hi there! This is my situation RIGHT NOW! I am a new graduate (december 2005) with my BSN. We moved to Bamberg Germany in June. Before we left I applied for Dodds school nursing, but there was...

I guess everyone doesn't always know the right thing to say all the time. I feel that your anger might be misplaced. Perhaps you are still dealing with the anger you have over your diagnosis...

Funny you should mention this, as I have heard the same thing, recently. I think it is because *IF* you do use alcohol swabs you are supposed to let it completely dry before you use the lancet...

Hi Starlett and welcome to the boards! I can appreciate your position. I have often wished that I could have challenged the RN boards. As my screen name suggests, I was a LPN (14 years) and...

I think the best way to combat the drama is to completely stay out of it from the beginning. If you are involved in it once, you'll be involved in it every time. *Don't complain about others...

I also put them in the sharps container if the patient refuses or if they get dropped, etc. But, I *have* put them in the toilet and flushed. I didn't realize that wasn't ok. But where the heck...

I have this and I LOVE it. The only problem I have found is that sometimes (being a bit overzealous) I file it down too much causing the nails to be too thin and they break!

I totally agree. Many people are thrilled that their child wants to go to college at all.

More to add... A blister is natures perfect bandage, so it is best if they are left intact, in most circumstances. But I recall there was a huge amount of fluid in the blisters, almost inevitable...

Yes, I have seen a few patients with it. As far as I remember, it is not contagious. It looks terrible though! I think it is auto immune disorder. I remember the first time I had a nursing home...

Graduation is tomorrow and pinning is Saturday. Wow. Still hasn't hit me yet...but, I don't want to graduate! I LOVE nursing school.
