  1. Cool test: Left VS Right brain....

    I love my cat! replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU!!! Great explanation. You are right...she is not switching directions (meaning spinning around 360 degrees)...your mind is filling in what we think she should be doing. That is the beauty...

    Interesting!

  3. Do you know the right answer?

    I love my cat! replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! :smilecoffeeIlovecof So, do we have an answer

  4. Do you know the right answer?

    I love my cat! replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    "but if you are thinking of the residents needs now, you are not thinking of this answer that they, the interviewers, wanted" change/update something in the care plan? that's always a waste of time...

  6. I had very poor LVN/LPN training. Anyone else?

    I love my cat! replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    The pic was published in the paper about 6 months after I started the thread. So, I am not sure how "timely" it was. I just couldn't believe that they would even be teaching with mercury thermometers....

  7. Weclome to the New PACU Nursing Forum

    I love my cat! replied to Brian's topic in PACU

    Thanks!!!! (...............from a nurse with a lot of PACU experience)

  8. Help for plantar fasciitis

    I love my cat! replied to italyrn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have found that a great OTC insole is Superfeet. They really made a difference for my PF. Unfortunately, I waited too long and ended up with bone spurs and had to wear those night splint and get...

  9. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    I love my cat! replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how many of these females don't want a male Nurse, but are totally content with a male Doctor? You should point that out to

  10. UHC thread CLOSED Whaaaa! It was a great thread!

    I love my cat! posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am soooo disappointed to see the UHC thread closed. What a shame. It was great until the last few pages because that was when the name calling and the liberal "mud-slinging" started. The UHC was a...

  11. UHC thread CLOSED Whaaaa! It was a great thread!

    I love my cat! replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    Geez, no kidding. I just posted that I was discouraged that a thread was closed.......and that I noticed a pattern. Good

  12. UHC thread CLOSED Whaaaa! It was a great thread!

    I love my cat! replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    Well, it just seemed to be very coincidental that a new member starts personal attacks and then 5-10 posts later, the thread is

  13. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    I love my cat! replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I guess the problem would be, what is considered "contributing" to

  14. Pain Management: How aggressive are your ED docs?

    I love my cat! replied to kmoonshine's topic in Emergency

    I worked in the ED for a very short time, but I have to say, most of the MDs did NOT treat the patient's c/o pain very well at all. Their decision not to medicate appropriately made my job a lot more...

  15. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    I love my cat! replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    But you have to remember that a lot of people only want the help if they ask for it. Some people may be grateful that you offer advice, unsolicited, but from my experience, most people do not welcome...

  16. Drug testing?

    I love my cat! replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you serious? That is discriminatory, to say the least. I can hear the school telling a soon-to-be student: "Oh, we're sorry. You need to come off of your Phenobarbital now and must resume having...

    I love my cat! replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say a word. Trust me, people in general do not like being told how act or behave. They will become angry and defensive. If you confront them, I guarantee they will be watching you like a...

  19. Viagra for women...

    I love my cat! replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting. I guess it would make sense for insurance to cover it for woman then if they have a Diagnosis of

    Well, then Budweiser will be

  21. Viagra for women...

    I love my cat! replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    But the rich and the poor are finally sexually satisfied......who cares what else happens (Just had to add that because I've never, ever heard any man complaining that geez, Pfizer got rich from...

    I love my cat! replied to missingunc's topic in General Nursing

    It is absolutely amazing! I just went to it about a month ago. I also saw a few years ago. Very interesting and very educational. I truly wish I could have seen this exhibit when I went to Nursing...

  23. Viagra for women...

    I love my cat! replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    I remember reading that it is/was almost $10 (w/o insurance) per pill or as people at work call it, crudely, "The Nine Buck,

  24. Viagra for women...

    I love my cat! replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    New to me! I didn't know that. I guess what is important that if it is indicated for women, insurance will cover it. From what I understand, medications given off-label are not

  25. Viagra for women...

    I love my cat! replied to Jack_ICU's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it would work because during female sexual arousal and during orgasm, the privy parts and the whole of the genitalia engorge and change color as the erectile tissues fill with blood. Pfizer...
