  1. My kids are sending me to the psyc. ward

    Passin thru....I Have seen posts from you that have angered and amazed me....but this thread beats the hell all........ slap them across the face? Keep your tax refund toots. You'll need it for your lawyer and get out of jail card......... Unbelievab...
  2. Prone Positioning

    Check the Hill-Rom site. They make the Vollman Prone Positioner.
  3. Diabetic Neuropathy & Excruciating Pain

    Does the pain in the shoulder come from the neck area? I agree with pain management clinic or alternative therapy.
  4. 'Shivers'/Uncontrollable Shaking after anesthesia?

    A taste of morphine will stop the shakes. It happens once in awhile to some of our post cath patients after concious sedation with Fentanyl and Versed. Just a tiche of MS ( 2 or 3 mgs) stops it almost immediately. Don't ask me why......
  5. Heparin and Nitro Compatability

    They are compatible. Do it, and put in your earplugs.
  6. I don't mind differing opinions. I don't like HIS attitude of arrogance and disrespect. Shandy's reply to his post was well-stated and respectful.
  7. uh...nursedude? It's time you checked out of the profession and did something else. You may have had your day.....but the sun has set.
  8. The FINAL scope thread

    She doesn't WANT to do a search. Master Cardiology.
  9. The opposite of nursing????

    I agree that the public's perception of nursing is opposite of what nursing actually is....and it would make a GREAT paper! Very timely topic.
  10. Does normal saline "expire"?

    It says it is expired. I would not choose to take someones well-being on a guess of phrarmaceutical greediness.
  11. Nursing shortage, patient care

    I read this article. billhogan is very effectively pushing some buttons. It's from the January 2003 Consumer Reports article, "How safe is your hospital". Some of it I agreed with, some I did not. But billhogan is not giving the whole story. "After 1...
  12. Meds at bedside

    One of the major rules of passing medications. Watch the patient take the med. Period.
  13. Nursing shortage, patient care

    I read the Consumer Reports aritcle, and I can assure you that being obnoxious as possible may get you attention, but not necessarily the best care. It is good advice to always have someone stay with you in the hospital if you are elderly, or unable...

  15. Cold Pot????

  16. Nurses rat on nurses

    Yep. Both responses together would be correct!
  17. T shirt slogans

    I saw a nurse today in the ED with feet walking up the back of her legs and back. I just howled.
  18. Nurses rat on nurses

    One thing I would like to point out. An incident report should not be deemed punative. It is a report of an unplanned, or unexpected event. As one who used to review these reports, I looked for trends. Did one nurse make the same or similar mistakes...
  19. disrespect or am I just a whimp?

    Over the years I have used many different responses. Depends on the situation. And of course my confidence level has increased over the years. My latest was a physician who was yippin' at me about something really foolish. I was just ignoring him. Fi...

  23. Cold Pot????

    So the patient is on a trach collar at 40%? I agree it must have to do with humidity.
  24. Cold Pot????

    yeah, thats what I need to know. If she is copying it from the MD's order........well.... goodness knows what she is interpreting from that.
  25. Cold Pot????

    The 40% is throwing me off also. COLD potential? Hmmm.
