  1. Child with shingles? Is this unusual?

    HeatherB,CST posted a topic in Pediatric

    I am not asking for medical advice, my son is already under the care of our PCP...He is 12 years old, and has shingles! I was surprised, because neither I nor the docs/nurses at our PCP office had...

  2. Child with shingles? Is this unusual?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pediatric

    Well, it's been a week, and his blisters have all turned to scabs and the affected area is shrinking. It looks like it's clearing up nicely, and didn't have too much pain except for the first three...

  3. Child with shingles? Is this unusual?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks for the link, it was helpful. He does not have a weakened immune system or any other health problems that we are aware of. He's a normal, healthy, sturdy and energetic 7th grader. He has been...

  4. Requirements to work in the Sports or Entertainment industry

    HeatherB,CST replied to emt1983's topic in General Nursing

    I would contact specific sports teams and studios directly. I think there may be union issues for film set medics. I was a hairstylist in L.A., and although I did work on a few small cable network...

  5. Ok, so where are the cameras/microphone in my classes

    HeatherB,CST replied to CT Pixie's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed the same thing. I think it is just because we are more aware. I remember when I was pregnant, it seemed like I would see pregnant women EVRYWHERE, now I don't notice them as much...

  6. Surgical Tech with "Nurse" on lab coat

    HeatherB,CST replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to know where the heck she is going to school. My guess it is not accredited by the ARC-ST(Accreditation Review Committee for the Education of Surgical Technologists). That would means...

  7. Some questions for the women

    HeatherB,CST replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    Hmmm I honestly don't know if that is the case. I may ask next time I see my OB-GYN.

  8. Surgical Tech with "Nurse" on lab coat

    HeatherB,CST replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    As a Surgical Tech student, I also am disappointed. She may not be a "nurse wannabe", however. It is entirely possible that the secretary or whoever ordered the coats was just ignorant of the...

  9. Some questions for the women

    HeatherB,CST replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    I actually bought a box of those when they first came out, and I must be really inept because I could not get the darn things to stay in...is there a learning curve?

  10. Some questions for the women

    HeatherB,CST replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    Oh, and there is usually one or two days a month I must also double up with a tampon and big pad to get through my commute to/from school or a long class. I sure hope there are breaks for me in the...

  11. Some questions for the women

    HeatherB,CST replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    Something to consider is eyelash tinting. It lasts about a month, does not rub off, and looks like a light mascara coat. I also agree that the mineral makeup is long-lasing and comfortable. It...

  12. OR Nursing in Winston Salem, NC

    HeatherB,CST replied to JustSmileinNC's topic in Operating Room

    I have a friend in the CRNA program there, and she really enjoys the environment. My family member had a transplant and sever other procedures there, and from a pt/family perspective, we were very...

  13. Anyone attending/attended GTCC in Jamestown?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks for the advice! I will be taking A&P this spring, so I'll keep that in mind and do a little extra physiology reading just for myself, as I plan to possibly pursue either a Bachelors' in...

  14. Booby-trapped patients?

    HeatherB,CST posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. Every day math

    HeatherB,CST replied to CCarpeDiem's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with classicdame. I am in a Mathematical Measurements class after 20 years without a math class. Everything in this class is related to real situations, like if your pt's IV is 2/5 empty and...

  18. green poop

    HeatherB,CST replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Pediatric

    HeatherB,CST replied to mikethern's topic in Operating Room

    I think the above poster's advice is good for dealing with any difficult person, along the lines of catching more flies with honey vs. vinegar. I'm sure that there are difficult Surgical Techs out...
