It's been a week and I haven't heard anything! I interviewed for a job yesterday at a local hospital and the DON told me it shouldn't take over a week. Anyone have any idea? I'm in Ohio, by the way. Shannon, if you read this have you heard anything? ...
Can someone please pm me about this? I'm sorry for not being more specific. I just don't know what to do to help this sweet lady. I feel completely helpless. Thanks for any advice...

Mom of a near drown here. I seem to remember reading somewhere after my son's accident that in addition to c-spine precautions, you should also not attempt to empty the stomach contents d/t risk of aspiration. Sometimes drowning victims don't actuall...
And yes, she is a wonderful Doctor. She has never been shy about checking things out. Always has looked deeper than most other doctors. I thank God she was the rehab doc who ended up with Jake and am very thankful she continues to follow him after al...
Hi, My son is 13 and suffered an anoxic brain injury 5 yrs ago from a near drowning. That is really not related to my post I guess, but that injury is how we found this problem. Last week I took him for his regular check up with his physical med Dr....
Apologize completely and would be happy to include the entire postings, but at the same time i'm also wondering where the op is. Maybe they took it to mean the same as i did. Or maybe they are like all and overwhelmingly busy. And you're right....I'v...
Why in the world are these types of replies necessary??? They surely can't be considered supportive....so why post them at all? Why try to humiliate the poster just to entertain yourself? Are these disrespectful posters that lacking in self esteem th...

What????? Is there some kind of meaning or reason behind this post that I'm missing?? Sorry, but this reply has me confused. Yes, I did write out a long reply..decided it was too personal and then deleted it. It had a lot of personal and very pai...
Got a nice tribal band on my left ankle back in '95. Was told by a few people that I'd regret it the next day....after all these years I still love it. :) Now I'm looking for a body part that is still holding up well enough for the Ankh, symbol of L...
You know what's funny?? You have ONE hour to get the sample to the Dr....you live 50 minutes away from the Dr..... :uhoh21: HE refused to drive the sample to the Dr for follow-up testing...okay, so he DID have his...ummm.....well, you know. So I hav...

My son was given Traza/Trazodone folowing his brain injury while trying to wake from a coma to establish a sleep/wake cycle. We had to stop it because he was barely functioning the following day. It worked for putting him to sleep at 9pm though...it ...
It's good to read the previous post about "Positive experiences with BON" in Florida. :) I have honestly heard horror stories about getting a license down there! I am wanting to relocate from Ohio to the Titusville area. I have yet to send in my ap...

Thank you TowannaG, for your reply. :) My former nursing instuctor said the same as you, but I guess I wanted to hear it from nurses in Florida. :) I am still treated for anxiety. I also lost twins in June. I do still have some anxiety and nightm...

I know this is not nursing related, but my son's mom is a nurse!!! :) He can't decide what he wants to do for his science project. Needs an idea by tomorrow. :uhoh21: First he was gonna do sound waves and how they travel through water and different...
and it was the best mistake I've made in a long time! I called the office and the on call nurse answered. She was talking so fast I could hardly understand her. On top of that she was speaking very quietly so she wouldn't wake her 15 month old baby.....

I relate so completely to your story. People look at me, or used to look at me back when I still told this story, like I was making it up. My Jacob was 8 1/2 when he was in a near drowning accident. He was under for at least 30 minutes...they didn't ...
