   Hi all, I know this isn't a question like most on allnurses.com but I'm not the most creative person when it comes to short and sweet titles. I am doing a research paper on Epilepsy and was trying to think of a fun title for it. So far my best is "Se...

   No matter how much I desire becoming a CRNA if no one will hire me because I am a liability, why spend the time and money? Being a realist again. Either way I will need to do more research into malpractice insurance, hospital interviews/hiring, and l...

   carrollca replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

   These are very valid points especially the court case and marketability. The fact that I have to say "seizure history" is sure to have a negative effect on both cases. I didn't mean my limbs move, this was a typo and I meant no movement in motor func...

    You are 100% correct about the 3 seconds being forever and not only the risk of injury on the patient. I would be devastated if anything happened to a patient because of this condition. Having the seizures affect my work was a concern of mine when st...
