   researchrabbit replied to military wife's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I can't say that I'm 20/20 either since presbyopia set in. I see well enough to draw up meds in a syringe, evaluate rashes and wounds, but I know I'd never be able to see lice without a...

5. Does normal saline "expire"?

   researchrabbit replied to MPHkatie's topic in General Nursing

   If any one element of what's in there can degrade or change (maybe the plastic bag leeches something into the saline?) then it has to have an expiration date. They are no longer guaranteed to be...

6. Why LPN??

   researchrabbit replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

   I completed a 2-year RN degree. Why? I already had a four-year degree (and a limited time to complete the RN), not to mention half a Master's in English and half a Master's in counseling. The...

7. Math/Statistics is it hard?

   researchrabbit replied to Rootbear76's topic in General Students

   I thought it was easier than Algebra. I've had it twice; once as "statistics" through the math dept (so it have the math in it), and once as "statistics" through the psychology dept (which had almost...

8. personal statement

   researchrabbit replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    researchrabbit replied to BioRN's topic in General Students

14. resperidol

    researchrabbit replied to lynn1967's topic in General Nursing

    Seroquel works pretty well for paranoia in adults (have not seen it in kids -- so don't know). I did have an 18 year old who was so paranoid he took to carrying around a hammer -- just in case. He was...
