I'm not sure what they offer online, as I've been out of school awhile, but Kent State had a good LPN to RN bridge program. My friend worked fulltime while she completed it. Good luck!

We serve a large Amish population at my hospital, and they have a lot of odd home remedies, but the one that sticks out in my mind was some sort of linement that contained KEROSENE. The child I was caring for reeked of kerosene. I think it was for eczema or something.

No such luck in pediatrics...

I am a skeptic as well. I have known people like this in my life, and most of the tales they told were just that, fictional tales. If he has really experienced all that craziness, my heart goes out to him. But I don't believe it, I think he's seeking attention.

We just started using it in my pediatric hospital, but we don't push it, we run it over a pump for like 20 or 30 minutes.

I got fired by a Dad after inadvertantly getting caught in all of the games a divorced couple can play when their beloved child is dying. I could have kissed him I was so grateful to get out of that room! Bothered me some that I was a little blind to what happened between parents until it was too late, but in the end I know what I did for my patient made her happy and comfortable in her last days of life, and I have no regrets.

I hate the connotation that the word "pseudo seizure" brings. Pseudo seizures are NOT faked, the patient has no control of the occurance in any way shape or form. Pseudo seizures are difficult to diagnose, however, if all medical testing is negative it may point to pseudo seizures. Pseudo seizures are likely a manifestation of anxiety that the patient cannot control, and little is known about the causes. True pseudo seizures can have reduced occurance or go away completely with long term psychotherapy. Many sufferers do not even realize they may be suffering from anxiety at all.

Really? Then she doesn't want a job.

Visitors that were courteous and appreciative, and FOLLOWED THE RULES! Strict visitation hours! Posey restraints were handed out like candy. Nurses were subservient to docs, THANK GOD that is over!

I have had patients I have been unable to ventilate d/t the need for sedation. You can't bag against a cough, they are coughing, gagging, freaking out, it isn't pretty. As they turn bluer and bluer...so it ends in one of two ways: I give sedation and the world is right again, or they pass out from hypoxia and I eventually can bag them back to baseline. Not fun.

That doc should be written up, he a danger to his patients! Who wants to render a guess at the damage caused to that man's airway by that maverick?

I don't really have any good advice, but... WAY TO GO for standing up for yourself and your license!!!! :yeah: You make me proud!

Take the PICU job, you really don't want to be stuck owing all that money, do you? You will gain great experience there, they may be slow right now, but in a few months look out! You can also always pick up prn in an adult ICU somewhere once you get your feet wet, that's what alot of the girls I work with have done while pursuing CRNA.

What a shame nobody explained the risks to her brother. I hope she was at least unbelievably happy while eating them.

You can get insulin that is very concentrated, but I don't know which insulins are available that way.
