4. phone calls no outsider would believe

   GardenDove replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

   LOL, I was wondering if I could slip a few metoprolols to a nearby barking dog with an irresponsible and unpleasant owner, just to slow down the dog's heart and make it go 'to sleep'. I was so PO'd at...

   GardenDove replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

   I mean, what a ridiculous example of an unneeded vaccine, of a disease that WAS successfully wiped off the planet, but the government subjects our servicemen and women to it, on the slim chance of...

9. smallpox vaccine gone awry

   GardenDove replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not surprised. No, I didn't receive the vaccine and I think the hysteria over this was absurd. I actually had the smallpox vaccine at age 6 anyways. I'm so sick of our government and the...

    I'm so sorry about this. I agree, it's easy to feel guilt, I went through that (guilt)when my husband died almost 10 years ago. I was 40 and he was 52, similar ages to you and your husband. This is a...

14. What do you think of Nursing Care Plans?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Just for fun, I said they are a tool of Satan. I also think they are foisted on bedside nurses by academia and a waste of precious

    GardenDove replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    I didn't think so at the time. Since I was adopted myself, I tried to give her some advise on how to pursue her goal of finding her daughter. We actually had a very interesting conversation. She...
