   GERINRS replied to GERINRS's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe there's a way to modify the diet for you. Or maybe there is something else wrong such as a food allergy.

2. Atkin's diet

   GERINRS replied to GERINRS's topic in General Nursing

   Hi. I think a low carb way of life would not be that hard to follow, especially when it works. You can still have some carbs on the diet, just not as many. I also believe that the food guide pyramid is obsolete or outdated. I have heard that the...

3. Atkin's diet

   GERINRS replied to GERINRS's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, again. I have been doing my own version of Atkin's which is working very well. I have only been on it faithfully for less than 2 weeks and have lost 6 lbs. The only changes I made in the Atkin's "eating lifestyle" is that I am eating peanu...

4. Atkin's diet

   GERINRS posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have recently been on the Atkin's diet, along with some of my coworkers. I would like to know some opinions of it by people who have tried it or have researched it. I think it's great but haven't done it for very long. My brother has lost about...

5. Body Piercings & Tattoos

   GERINRS replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

   I have two tattoos, both hidden in scrubs. I would like to have some piercings but I don't want to be judged wrongly by this. I work with elderly people and I don't think they would appreciate them. I too, believe that if a person is judged or rej...

6. I got a DUI

   GERINRS replied to snoop's topic in General Nursing

   I don't believe that just because a person gets a DUI, that it makes one an alcoholic. Afterall, it only takes two beers to get one! I don't think you should spend your time or money on an evaluation. You know if you have a problem or not. Sorry,...

7. Eeg

   GERINRS posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been wondering about what could happen if an EEG is done improperly. I had one done about 7 years ago to see if I had an underlying problem that caused depression. I was lying there on the table and the medical personell were hooking me up t...

8. I've got trouble!!!

   GERINRS posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a LPN. I work in a nursing home. I just recently got into some legal trouble. I was out drinking with my drunk boyfriend. We were both drunk and started to fight. He started to punch me in the head and face. He also choked me with his arm,...

9. a nurse with panic disorder

   GERINRS replied to micknmel's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! I have the same problem. Is there some kind of correlation between being a nurse and panic disorder? I am on Prozac and Neurontin, which help but maybe should try Paxil.

10. WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR THE HOLIDAYS???

    GERINRS replied to NurseLinda's topic in General Nursing

    :) I am going to decorate my tree (all in burgundy and rose colors). I will watch Christmas stories on video and hopefully buy myself a new DVD player. I will also have my parents and family over to drink eggnog. Anything to keep my mind off of be...

    GERINRS replied to OneChattyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Definately, Triple Ant. ointment on cracked open areas but then to prevent: Nivea creme! I even put it on my face at night. It smells wonderful, too.

12. Nursing Superstitions!

    GERINRS replied to codebluechic's topic in Humor

    o.k. what does LOL mean? Is it little old lady? Also, what is the s word? Does it refer to fecal material?

    GERINRS replied to codebluechic's topic in Humor

    I was working in a nursing home and one res.'s feeding pump kept acting up. Well, I switched it to read the total intake which read 666!

14. Right handed? Left handed? Spell? Can't spell?

    GERINRS replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a lefty and have always been a natural at spelling. I got 2nd. place at a medical spelling bee, in nursing school. I was spelling words, out of Taber's that I'd never heard of. I also consider myself creative, too.
