   resqbug replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

   A ruptured AAA can cause excruciating pain and someone can take up to a few hours before they actually die. If not done already, I would make sure you guys already have orders for comfort measures for immediate use once it happens.

7. Death of a Dream

   Oh honey, don't assume. I was a widow and single mom for 5 years while putting myself through my LPN program, during which I met my husband now. I lived 300 miles away from any family and since I had a bachelor's in another field prior to my LPN prog...

12. Confused guy seeking help

    resqbug replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing

15. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    resqbug replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Again, 11 pages and nobody has said with 100% certainty that the person with a nursing license is actually proven to be the same girl and not just someone else with the same name? Best I can tell, one website said that only 1 person in the US has tha...
