I think al of our government officials should get it first along with their families. Let's see how many of them would refuse.

this is wonderful. what a wise, old person. someday we will all be there! when an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in north platte, nebraska, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. later, when the nurses were...

I live in the Syracuse area, there is one hospital that I know hires LPN's. It is Community General. The others will also hire LPN's, but the jobs at the other hospitals are few and far between. There is also a new wing on University Hopspital bei...

My mother always told my brothers that if the "peed" on the road, they would get a sty. When I was pregnant, my mother -in-law told me not to put my hands in cold water, it would make the baby cold.:chuckle

When I was in nursing school, we were doing clinicals at a local hospital. This particular hospital has a lot of resident docs. After completing my rounds, one of these residents comes up to me and asks me if I can show him how to insert a catheter i...

Unequal conjoined twins in which a rudimentary parasitic head is attached to the thorax of the autosite. My word is : Zondek-Aschheim test

I have worked in family practice for over 5 yrs now, and I love it. There is always something new and different to learn. There is a great variety of pts and complaints. Some are mundane, some are life threatening, but we keep on our toes. I rea...

Couldn't agree more. I too, am fair skinned, reddish hair, but my heart is full-blooded. I am very proud of all my ancestry, from Native to German, Irish to English. All of that is what made me what I am today. My husband is full blooded, and he an...

Did you hear that Pekabo Street went into nursing? She got her first assignment in the ICU, but they had to lket her go because shee answered the phone... " Pekabo, ICU."..... :trout:

You are far from fat!! I am not slender. I buy most of my scrubs at Burlington Coat Factory. They have really nice sets that start at around $12 for the toop and bottom, along with some real nice prints.

I think we can all, as nurses, relate to this. I have sat at the bedside of many patients as they passed from this life. Some go peacefully, some do not. As a nurse you can use those experiences to better yourself to help each patient. Your goal is t...

When I worked in LTC in a local nursing home, there were a few residents that told me they saw a tll man wearing a black coat and a top hat. The next day, one of the residents died. This happened several times. None of the stakk ever saw him, only...

When I'm doing an EKG on a hairy man, I will say, " Free hair removal with every EKG today".

Ever notice that some of the things that women suffer have masculine names? Like MENses, MENopause, HISerectomy??

Thanks for this post. Too many non natives are really naive when it comes to our people. They assume we all live in teepees, wear regalia around the house and say, "How". I can't even count the number of times I have been called Pocahontas. Most of...

I became a nurse because I took care of my mom when she was dying from lung cancer. She has a trach and no one in the family wanted to learn how to suction and clean it, so I volunteered. I went to my moms house everyday to help the hospice nurse. Sh...

When I was in nursing school, we were learning about foley catheters. One of the students asked the instructor, " If there is no lubricant, may I spit on the foley?". Totally freaked us all out. That is one person I would not want to care for me.....

Greetings from Central New York!! Onondaga County, to be exact. Nice to see a variety of folks from all over our beautiful state.

Recently, a young man came in to our office with c/o abd pain. The doc did her assessment and then wanted to send him for a CT. As we walked out of the exam room, I asked the doc, why not do an h-pylori first? She agreed, it was positive. It made m...

Sago, I am Metis and Mohawk. My husband is Oneida/ Onondaga. We are part of a First Nations Dance Team. I am currently working as an LPN in an office and in school to get my RN. Peace to all.

Most of the docs where I work won't do prior auths, they will tell the pt they can switch to what is covered, or pay out of pocket. Doing prior auths wastes too much time.
