    GardenDove replied to chick_pea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    TraumasRus, I think she meant that she is used to calling Dilaudid by it's generic name. That's how I read it. She wrote that she pulls it up in the Pyxis by hydromorphone, therefore doesn't use the...

  2. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    GardenDove replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have vaccination rates of 60% because of consiencious objection. I just want to point out: Those who opt out of vaccines for their children oftentimes don't do so because of potential...

    GardenDove replied to law3576's topic in General Students

    You sound very nice. Your classmate sounds not so nice and like others say wishes she could somehow be nice and is jealous of what a lovely lamp on a hill you are. Your pts like you, your niceness...

    GardenDove replied to unwanted RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but I think the OP is wise to go about it intelligently. You give good advise. Also, OP, erase the fact that you visited this site from your computer so you husband doesn't find out you are...

    GardenDove replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I can think of no rationale contraindicating pushing all the meds in at one time, since they end up in the same stomach anyways, can you? It's not like a 7 course meal, after

  15. My preceptor gets frustrated with me.

    GardenDove replied to Zumz's topic in General Nursing

    Your preceptor sounds like she is bending the rules too far. No one, I mean no one, should push a PCA button for anyone! I can't believe a preceptor would say that!!!!! It's a huge and very real no...

  16. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    GardenDove replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

  19. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    GardenDove replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I opted out of most vaccines. I feel the number of vaccines given to children today is harmful to their immune systems and contributes to immune disorders, which are on the rise. I've read more honest...

    GardenDove replied to unwanted RN's topic in General Nursing
