  1. Alzheimer's and lots of anxiety

    Levin replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'll second that, CHF and Chronic Renal Failure are partners in crime. Lithium + Renal Failure gives me the heebie jeebies.

  2. mp3 player on breaks

    Levin replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, is there anything that DOESNT offend people? At my current hospital half the ward dives off to the open air area at lunch to smoke like chimneys. Is that "Unprofessional?" less unprofessional...

  3. Fundamentals of Nursing book (Potter and Perry)

    Levin replied to xng's topic in International Nursing

    Agreed, on the whole I prefer P&P over Tabbner. P&P will build your muscles too

  4. Manual lancing still OK practice?

    Levin posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I worked at a hospital where they had no lancing device. (It was broken, as were the other 5 in the kit and apparently have been for yonks) We were told to stick them manually with the lances. Now I...

  5. Manual lancing still OK practice?

    Levin replied to Levin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We are talking about the little lancets that you load in the spring lancer. We are told to uncap them and do it manually because the lancing machines (all of them) dont work. In 3 cases they do work...

  6. Manual lancing still OK practice?

    Levin replied to Levin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's the spring loaded lancets I'm talking about. None of them work. Texqueen I'm so glad you posted. All the staff have been doing their best to make me feel odd that I would object to such practice....

  7. Meal assists, tips, tricks and howto's.

    Levin posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was inspired by the recent bed baths thread in Gen-nurs, and decided to start this one. Meal assistance (aka "feeds" before the language police) We all know (I hope) the basic stuff like watching...

  8. Detox- no meds?

    Levin replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not aware of any alcohol detox units that don't use things like Vallium. Well until your post anyway. Sounds a bit odd to me.

  9. Post Mortem Movement

    Levin replied to Shadelyn's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught bodies can vibrate and twitch after death. But it's quite different from moving gently around. I've been thinking about this and my guess would be spinal cord initiated motor function....

  10. Post Mortem Movement

    Levin replied to Shadelyn's topic in General Nursing

    Ah now that reminds me of something Never played a game quite that scary/creepy since. I'm afraid I can't enlighten you as to your patient though.

  11. Meal assists, tips, tricks and howto's.

    Levin replied to Levin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well I had aged care again today, and I must say, the advice in these two pages ended up being quite useful. Thanks to everyone who contributed. Cheers

  12. Do you like team nursing?

    Levin replied to RN1263's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm an EN, on my way to EEN. I'd give the thumbs up to team nursing any day.
