  2. Hanging up my stethescope

    I'm so sorry to hear about your health and about problems w/ your stepson. I know how it is to be young and have to quit nursing. Unfortunately, a few years ago at the age of 28, I developed cancer. Uterine cancer. Weird, rare, the whole shebang. Lu...
  3. I am not sure if someone has posted this, and I'm not sure where to post this. Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong area. I thought the cruelty of this case was especially awful. I did not realize the woman actaully revived the 3 year old boy...
  4. Swine Flu Outbreak, School Nurse Set Response in Motion

    And everyone thinks school nurses don't "do anything useful" as I heard at my daughter's school yesterday. My kids don't have a school nurse, and my children have suffered from it a few times. Some things I can let go, but the things my kids went ...
  5. Dealing with unreasonable PTs, SWs etc

    I've done sub-acute rehab, and yes, this was always an issue. When docs or anyone else writes for "medicate 30 minutes prior to PT"...it's never done. WHY? Because we NEVER had a schedule for the patients of when they are due to go to PT/OT. It was l...

  8. Hi everyone... I have a friend who sent an email asking about this...and this is exactly how the person spelled it. I tried googling it...but came up empty. I know sometimes diseases have odd names, but I've never heard of this in the 14 years I've b...
  9. My patient died this morning...

    Hugs to you, but you're absolutely correct that it's an awesome feeling to know that you made a difference in another's life. You probably don't know me/remember me, but I remember you posting so much and I always can tell from your posts that you ar...
  10. How do I stop worrying all the time?------LONG

    I have been where you are, worrying about the same things. Afraid to let my kids play outside lest someone snatches them up. When a van drives slowly by them, I am scared. You are not alone. Message me if you'd like to talk about it. For me, I neede...
  11. 10 nights worth of sleep meds

    Are they billing for 3 co-pays??? My gosh, I would be upset too if I had to pay 3 co-pays for a month's supply of medication. I would ask the pharmacy how to prevent this. If your patient is going to be on this long term, I would ask the doctor about...

  14. I have a permanent (blue) disabled parking sticker. Some days I need a cane, some days I go inside to use the stores motorized cart. As long as my sticker is up, how do you know I am not disabled just because I am perhaps walking without an cane/walk...

    You're right Emmanuel, this is 1.5 years old!! People were reported, and I quit in December, after I found out I had cancer. I have since been off work. But thanks to those who responded! The place I was referring to is now the worst facility in t...
