  1. Old Ladies Having Babies

    Vanfnp replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If the good Lord chose to bless me with a child at the advanced age of 41-I would be thrilled, more than thrilled. I hope he does! Should it happen however, no media will be allowed to turn the...

  2. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Vanfnp replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure many will agree: there is no fix to our current healthcare system. It needs a complete overhaul. However the current system works well for a large group of Americans. Those of us...

  3. Resigned from my job yesterday.....

    Vanfnp replied to jpoetic3's topic in General Nursing

    I think a letter of resignation should be to the point, along the lines of "I submit my resignation effective whenever, my last day will be whenever". Your concerns about the facility need to be...

  4. I made two med errors in one day.

    Vanfnp replied to geekgolightly's topic in General Nursing

    Meds should not be scheduled for shift change times! Sometimes am meds need to be taken at mealtime (usually 7am) so we schedule them for 6:30. Night shift gives and charts the med. If your...

  5. Tncc

    Vanfnp replied to Vanfnp's topic in Emergency

    As the question deteriorates into the dreaded BSN/ADN debate, my .02... The BSN will give the OP more future job choices...Personally, I am looking into a position now within the local school system,...

  8. Duragesic patch + recovering nurse with chronic pain = ???

    Vanfnp replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

    Please be careful, as you well know. Personally, I would find it easier to keep my mind and body busy at work than at home with the narcs, especially with your history. A red flag to me about this...

  9. Infusion Computation

    Vanfnp replied to ione's topic in General Nursing

    I believe there was a typo and the nurse planned to start the infusion at 2 mg/minute. 2 mg x 60 min to an hour = 120mg/hour. 2gm is 2000 mg per 500 ml, a 4 to 1 ratio equalling 4 mg in each ml....
