You guys make a great point. At the place I use to work most of the post op pts got colace BID and senna BID together. Some pts even complained that these two didn't help and we had Lactulose PRN. I never understood that pain of constipation even ...

I bought that some book at school, 173$ yeah very expensive. I ended up buying it on amazon for 92$ but if you want the mastering weblink (now used instead of cd's) you can pay it online for 34$. Still saves you about 40$ or you could not buy that...

LOL! my husband would hate that. The hospital I worked had nursing students but no med students. But you are right I guess they weren't affiliated with a med school. Thanks alot. One more question? Is this a good or bad thing for a new nurse who ...
