4. Do all surgeons think that they are Gods?

   Kathy Gallimore replied to angiebaby's topic in General Nursing

   I am glad you had a good experience with doctors. I wouldn't want to throw off on any of them, but when someone says a surgeon thinks he is a God I think they actually mean they know everything. I would hope that any surgeon that works on me would be...

   Kathy Gallimore replied to lenawa's topic in Operating Room

   There should be no reason why they would not be able to get you a disposable gown that would be for hypoallergenic people. I hoep you like the OR. It is my major love. I had to give it up thought because of physical problems. Good Luck! AND enjoy you...

   Kathy Gallimore replied to Texagain's topic in General Nursing

   I just wouldn't make a big thing out of it. I certainly would not make a big thing of it to your son. I would speak to the other Mom but wouldn't show to much over concern maybe even be very light hearted about it. Nothing serious has happened. Just ...

    Don't be afraid to speak up to the doctors. They have plenty to do and it certainly couldn't hurt the patient with your concern. With so much pitting edema I would be worried too. I am glad to here someone speak up and not just let things slide. Pati...

    Hey don't worry you don't know for sure yet. Have you thought of trying glucosamine? I take this and it works great for me. About 19 years ago a doctor that I worked with in the OR wanted to work on my shoulder for a rotator cuff. I chose not to have...

12. Positve advice on how to be a RN

    Kathy Gallimore replied to Portia's topic in General Nursing

    Already having a BS even if it is in another area should help you very much. Some of the schools offer students like yourself a fast tract course at least in Tennessee anyway. You should go for a BS in nursing for they are leaning more towards this d...

15. Who is REALLY GOOD with needles?

    Kathy Gallimore replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    :) Be patient you will learn. Of course you are going to be over anxious @ 1st., but your teachers will help you. My biggest tip when giving shots is to be quick with the insertion of the needle. I know it sounds terrible to say it this way but my te...
