Collective "punishments" like the one described are not caused by a few irresponsible people using their cellphones rudely, but rather by a lazy, and sneering culture in the management. Levin.

True, this happened to us on a couple of placements. Cheers, Levin

RE: SC/IM I was thinking about this earlier. In light of what SD said, I think it's probably because Hydroxy-cobalamin would not be very lipid soluable. So giving it SC wouldn't seem to make much sense. Wheras Cyano-cobalamin probably is more lipid soluable(I haven't checked this so I'mnot sure). But yeah 2 different forms of B-12 with signifigant differences in how they can be used and administered. Good to know. :) Levin

Hydroxy-Cobalamin Chloride is IM Only(with rare exceptions). There is another variant called Cyanocobalamin. I don't know if you can give that SC. Do you know which variant you use SD? IV B-12 can cause some quite nasty reactions. To the best of my knowledge it is only used IV in rare emergent circumstances. (e.g. The Hydroxy variant IIRC can be used for Cyanide poisoning.) Levin

Yeah I've always used them. Levin

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7238142.stm "Mr Ramos-Horta was shot in a pre-dawn attack on his Dili home, and later airlifted to Australia for treatment. He received three gunshot wounds - one in the stomach and two in the chest - and his condition is described as 'serious but stable'. " Levin

It could just be a local variance, I only have data for Australia but the rates vary between the range 60/40(M/F) and 40/60(M/F) over the years. Levin

There fixed it for you Levin P.S. Good luck with the Job hunting.

Also the fact that we have the subsidised education and access to nursing journals, i think has benefits for patients and the wider health system as well. Levin

Well I find my union dues very modest. For them I get. * Professional indemnity insurance. * Free access to nursing journals online. * A nursing library. * Workcover top up insurance. * Subsidised education and training. * Can bank with the police credit union.(No bank fees) * Bulk billed at the union clinic. * DIscounted house and car insurance. Amongst others. As well as the standard representation in disputes and negotiating of workplace agreements and advocacy in the political sphere So yeah I think it's a good thing. Levin

Grace Oz, Rudd was pretty upfront about his intentions. This was from February last year. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21269514-5001028,00.html Levin P.S. Personally I think we should get out of Afghanistan as well, unless someone can show me HOW having our military there is helping. That the coalition has partnered with the Northern Alliance says it all really. Contrary to what the press tells you the Northern Alliance are not nice people, they sure as anything aren't "freedom fighters". From my understanding of it, the NA are thugs who rape and kill because they felt like it that day, and the Taliban are nutcases who kill you for crimes like "singing". Generalisations I know but neither are very appealing options.

Howard looks like he has lost his seat. Well he did say he wanted to make history. Only the second PrimeMinister EVER to lose his seat while still PM. Levin

Does your software have progress notes? If so then you could document the reason the drugs were scanned late in them. Regards, Levin
