  4. Do you allow patients to take home their placentas if desired? more

    kukukajoo replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Evidently in the Hmong culture in their homelands in the east, they would bury the placenta under their beds in the soil. When a person dies the soul goes to all the places the person has lived and...

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

  8. Pulse ox reading on same hand during mechnical BP reading??

  9. Pulse ox reading on same hand during mechnical BP reading??

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

  10. Pulse ox reading on same hand during mechnical BP reading??

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I think you are right on the attitude a bit, she was young. How is explaining to someone how to do something correct overreacting? I was very careful how I worded things and did not say "Hey...

  12. No Longer a Student :(

    kukukajoo replied to student1000's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It can be done. I think firstly I would see if counseling were available to help you learn why you can't keep calm and your emotions in check during class/clincial. It can only help if you ask me. In...

    kukukajoo replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing
