i'm sorry to hear about your preceptors problems. my sister has been doing atkins for a year and her cholesterol is magnificent. she doesn't spend alot of time eating fatty meats. she eats lean cuts of meat & plenty of veggies. also, the body goes into ketosis, not ketoacidosis. that is something totally different. take care & best wishes to your colleague.

Interesting. I showed up to every class in high school and tried hard, but still had to take grade 11 & grade 12 math over again. High school was far from easy for me. But after i had a baby at 18, i figured it was time to get my butt in gear and really follow my goal.

I'm interested in this as well....something to consider later down the road. :)

alot of physicians call ma's nurses. (well, to their patients anyway.) i don't think it's right to tell patients, "i'll see you next week, just go and make an appointment with my nurse".......never understood that one. this happened to me when i worked in a dr's clinic way before i became an rn. geesh!!!!

excellent post. this is how i prepared for my nclex a few years ago. :)

I totally agree with you! Also, a little exercise 3-4x per week wouldn't hurt either. :)

:balloons: Great reply Fiona & so very true!!!

another litmann master classic ii lover here. great acoustics. would never own another brand.

They all go to lunch at the same time?? We'd all be fired if that was the case at our hospital. Small groups, yes, but not everyone. You wait until they get back, because you are dedicated. Kudos to you. Your Charge nurses or DON should do something about this. Ridulous.

OMG! Talk about unethical! Where on gods green earth do they find these employees! Especially someone who's *supposed* to be a DON!! You did exactly the right thing! Sounds like that DON needs to find employment elsewhere, and perhaps leave the medical field altogether. (For the sake & safetly of ANY patient. Imagine, that poor old lady could easily have been our grandmother.

Here in BC, Ineligible patients have to pay $14 or so for the shot at the pharmacy. We do the injection for free.

has anyone seen these?! they are so cute. i came across them on a 'major' auction site and bought some. fit nicely over the steth. have a variety of prints and you can get your name sewn into them. too cute, check it out! :chuckle

Nothing wrong c learning phlebotomy before nursing school. You have a good head on your shoulders. More power to you! :)

Wear Scrubs! (Just kidding ) I've always worn pantsuits or crisp cotton blouse with a black skirt. Good luck to you! :balloons:

I would never think of jeopardizing my licence like that. I can't believe the administration has turned a blind eye to this. Well, all i can say is that this situation is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Also to save your own butt, document and record the time & dates that you spoke with admin. about this. Take care!
