  5. Nurse with 30+ years CCU Experience dealing with severe back pain... Need Suggestions

    woody62 replied to ganursing's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  9. Upper GI bleed vs bleeding espohageal varices

    woody62 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

  11. depression meds and getting hired

    woody62 replied to AmericanChai's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  12. Upper GI bleed vs bleeding espohageal varices

    woody62 replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    woody62 replied to AmericanChai's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    woody62 replied to LisaJanae's topic in General Nursing

    As most surgeries are done as same day ones, when I have one, I ask the surgeon if I am to take my medications and which ones. I take all PO's with a small sip of water.

  18. Is this a HIPPA violation?

    woody62 replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

  24. DNR Orders Overturned By Doctors

    woody62 replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing
