    SaraO'Hara replied to Jabramac's topic in Emergency

    SaraO'Hara posted a topic in General Nursing

    Striping Ceremony

    SaraO'Hara replied to SNSCCC's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My mother works as an activities assistant in LTC, but she does have to do charting. Apparently a co-worker of hers managed to chart several people as "awake, alert, and ambulatory" - two were dead,...

    Possible TB?

    SaraO'Hara posted a topic in Pulmonary

    I have a friend (not me, thank goodness) who, lately, has been looking exceedingly tired, pale, coughing, and losing weight. She has a history of asthma. To give an idea of the weight loss - I've...

    Possible TB?

    SaraO'Hara replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Pulmonary

    Geri-Claus

    SaraO'Hara replied to Antikigirl's topic in Nursing Humor

    Possible TB?

    SaraO'Hara replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Pulmonary

    She hasn't been exposed that I know of. I know there was a TB scare with her grandmother several years ago but I believe it turned out to be pneumonia. Yes, many things are more likely than TB -...
