  1. Looking for info on Keratosis Pilaris

    antidote replied to antidote's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Oh DUH. I feel so stupid! Thanks Marie! Just a thought: would exfoliating on a daily or bi-daily basis help this at all? Normally in the past this has dried my skin out and makes it very sensitive...

  2. Bunch of Questions for LTC LPN's.. Help I'm new!

    antidote replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just found an awesome resource for all of you LPN's and LVN's our there. The information (from my knowledge) is accurate and reliable! I'd suggest you take a look at it as a resource:...

  3. OMG, I took the NCLEX yesterday...........

    antidote replied to Shantae's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You'll do great! Every test that I've ever taken in my life I went in there confident, knowing I'd do well and when they slap the puppy down in front of me I go "Oh sheesh!" and just pretty "know I...

  4. Bunch of Questions for LTC LPN's.. Help I'm new!

    antidote replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree as well! When I first passed my exam, I was on shock! I didn't know what to do and considered right away (on the spot) of doing something else (even after 3 years of college or so). My advice...

  5. Cardiac Help Needed.....

    antidote replied to dreamrider_212's topic in General Nursing

    What an awesome

  6. Insight & advice on Critical care(ICU) VS. general Med-Surg floor?

    antidote replied to RUcon08's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you on that statement too. If you want to go ahead and jump right into ICU nursing, go ahead! As I've told many people and myself over and over again: don't let anyone or anything stop...

  7. Ice packs for fever?

    antidote replied to santhony44's topic in Emergency

    I originally began in the ER and I must say I've never seen an ice pack used on a child with a high-fever. In fact, I never seen them used at all with the exception of keeping my lunch

  8. LPN'S are NURSES TOO

    antidote replied to imnrs2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As an RN myself, I need to hop in and tell you guy's that you would make my job a WHOLE lot easier if you guy's were at the hospital I work at. I'm all for bringing LPN/LVN's back into the game. You...

  9. Insight & advice on Critical care(ICU) VS. general Med-Surg floor?

    antidote replied to RUcon08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an intensive care nurse, and I have to say that its an entirely different mindset in there. The more experience you have on a med surge floor or in the ER would help greatly before advancing up to...

  10. I posted this in general discussion as well.

    antidote replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in Operating Room

    No problem at all! Like I said, I've had my share of these type of people and even have to work around them on a daily basis (just like you). Be sure to check your PM's! I just sent you a little...

  11. Help please! about bipolar and getting license

    antidote replied to smoochie644's topic in General Nursing

    Be honest! It will do more damage later when someone finds out then it would if they knew from the beginning. If you are undergoing treatment for it, and its not extremely terrible (like your killing...

  12. Am I waisting my time??

    antidote replied to RTstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it! If your heart is set to it and you have a real passion for it, go ahead! You'll be benefiting yourself and not hurting at all! If you are learning how to save people, you are not wasting...

  13. I posted this in general discussion as well.

    antidote replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in Operating Room

    Seems like the hospital you're working in are filled with those "ugly putty" scrub nurses as I like to call them. I think they should make an entire Anatomy course for these "type of people" since...

  14. Nursing student in distress...Please Help !!!!!

    antidote replied to k.lvn.mom's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, this was a class [evil]hated![/evil] But as the others posted above, you can do it! Talk to your instructor and let him know how you feel! Maybe he can share some personal experience with you...

  15. Can someone explain ambulatory care....

    antidote replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. They normally don't perform huge complex surgeries as these places (like heart transplants or something of that nature) so if something goes terribly wrong they'll transport you. As posted...

  16. Thinking about changing to Neuro/Trauma....

    antidote replied to DebbieRN45's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    If I was given the opportunity at your stage, I would take that puppy up for sure! The trauma department is a really up-driven (fast) environment to work in (depending on where you live). Where are...

  17. So..You're going to be a MALE nurse?

    antidote replied to mingez's topic in Men in Nursing

    Semi-long post alert! This is something I really don't get too me that much. It doesn't affect me tremendously personally (emotionally) but I would really just wish people would look at us the same....

  18. Do you feel more is expected of you...

    antidote replied to MALE*RN*777's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree with those who have said what they have about the Code Grey/White's. As Mike said above - I have helped some of the PCT's/CNA's ambulate patients before (the larger ones) since all of our...

  19. do any of you like codes??

    antidote replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    Unfortunately, I must admit I love code blue's too. It is for the same reason, that is gives me adrenaline and really gets me going! I think its the fact that you are what stands between that person...

  20. support groups for nurses

    antidote replied to mazy's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to an in-home care nurse type deal? If that is what you're referring to, then I would suggest looking into Bayada Nurses Home Care. I've seen them advertise on the TV a lot, and I've...

  21. Good Nursing Joke....

    antidote replied to StudyingRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Thats pretty funny! Never heard that one before I don't

  22. Who is more highly regarded?

    antidote replied to RITA2007's topic in General Nursing

    They are equally regarded in the hospital that I work in. I have personally never noticed a difference in the treatment either of them receive from other staff
