Tazzi is right. In the places where I have done drug testing for employees that has been the policy. BTW, Abilify totally improved life for my husband and me! He is bipolar, and thiat med has worked...
I think it is up to the marriage. If you have a good marriage, then some sort of compromise would seem to be best. If the marriage is on shaky ground, take the 8th grader and go to the job that...
For some reason the oldest nurses I ever worked with on the floor all worked nights. I never asked them why, but it was true in 3 hospitals that I worked
For those who share the load, good for you! For those who won't offer help to others, you shouldn't expect it for yourselves. BUT, somebody always comes through for you don't they? Let's all suck it...
We didn't have to memorize it, but we did have to repeat it together in the form of wedding vows (a line spoken by the guest speaker RN, and repeated back by the class) at our pinning
Thanks for the suggestion. It makes good sense. I once had a 30-something male on tele who went into rapid SVT. I ran down the hall to his room, and there he was, hanging off the far side of the...
All of the previous posters have given you good advice, but I would add this: when using PRN orders, go by the guidelines that the MD gives. They usually give parameters for the lowest rate they...
We have a young mother here at work who goes into one of the MDs offices (without him there, of course!) every morning to pump breast milk. she then freezes it to use later, and feeds her baby the...
Thank goodness a good crew was challenged by the night from he77. Imagine if folks from other units had been floated over, or that you were working really, really short. I hope you all enjoyed that...
Congratulations SaraLee for doing the right hing for yourself, the school, but ultimately any patients out there that would have been the unfortunate recipients of this kind of care. The school's...
Hmmmm. As usual, that sounds like something that would have to be specifically addressed by the BON in the State the person who assaulted the girlfriend lives in and/or where the assault took place....
Try for a Basic Trauma Life Support Course (BTLS). It is similar in structure to an ACLS course, but focuses strictly on Trauma and the integrated body systems. It is usually a two-day course and I...
Jen, others at Allnurses know by now that my husband is bipolar. He was diagnosed when he was 59! He told me all of his life since his mid-teenage years, he felt like he was going around with a...
:roll:D:rolleyes: Oh, yesssss! I would love to see Admin grovel and snivel the way they expect us to. Fortunately, I have always been a square peg in a round hole and have always managed to...
I believe that with 6.5 yrs of previous experience (unless you were not in a clinical setting), and with the "refresher," so to speak of your current clinicals, that I would take the job. Obviously,...
It could be because of medications that they are being given. Steroids can elevate BG levels, and TPN certainly can. I am sure there are others, but those two immediately come to mind. Also, they...
It depends upon your State Law. One New Year's Eve, I had a similar situation. The Secretary for the State Prosecutor in our county was brought in after the car she was driving plowed into 6...
I agree with you, Pagandiva. It is a very therapeutic place to share, vent, uplift, learn, and teach. Sometimes it is good just for a laugh. At any rate, I appreciate all of you, and your...
Lead isn't a chemical, so it technically can't be a "chemical burn." Without taking the side of WalMart, one would have to analyze all of the components of the flip-flop straps and do sensitivity...
