Favorite, Fun, Weird, and Scandalous Symptoms and Diagnosis...
a doc...that had been EXTREMLY busy one day (in his defense)...charted on a female pt that...'has no ED'...he laughed then went and told the pt about the error and they chuckled for a few minutes...we still tease him today!!

Alternative meds? You'll never believe this one!!
I had a pt who had warts all over her hands....the Doctor actually wrote and order for...duct tape to warts for two weeks or until tape falls off. Supposedly the glue in the tape was supposed to do something to the warts....I was not around long enough to see if it worked...I can't imagine that it did. But then again...it was my psyche rotation!! HA HA HA

Funniest thing a new nurse said/charted/asked...
Ok...I work on the Post Cardiac Cath Unit. A pt had just come back from having and AICD placed. The area was swollen and was draining pus. The nurse charted... (NO LIE!!!) ... "area red, swollen, and *****." ROFL I couldn't help but chuckle..sure she didn't mean it the way it red but I still can't look at her the same way....

Moving to Charleston South Carolina
Thanks for all the help so far... To make a long story short...I dated a guy that lived in Hampton Virginia...and I fell in love with the beach. I had been to Chas SC several times and never thought about moving there until we split. Honestly I just wanna live close to the ocean!! LOL and far enough away from my family to where they won't visit every day!! Just kidding!! I have looked at places online in West Ashley, and I have requested things from tourist guides and MUSC. All of which have responded and been very helpful!! I am planning a trip in July and am beside myself to come back to check it out for my future this time!! Plus I am already really good at saying y'all!!! Thanks and keep the comments coming!!

Moving to Charleston South Carolina
Hi I Have a few questions that maybe some of you all can help me with. I will appreciate any and all help that you guys can give me. So I will be graduating in May of 2007. I would love (and am planning) to move to Charleston South Carolina around June (ish) of that year. I was wondering if you guys could give me some info on the best way to transfer my nursing license (should I take my boards here in WV and transfer them or should I just try to take them in SC?). I have been looking at a few apartments, is there any one in particular that you would reccommend for me which area is the best to live in as far as safety and access? What is the average starting salary for graduate nurses there? What is the average cost of living i.e. utilities, rent, gas (since we all know that is a huge issue!), and so forth. If there's any other tips or pointers that you would like to add I am OPEN for any advice you can give me!! Thanks guys...
