I spoke with my grandmother and great aunts about this same subject when I graduated nursing school 2 years ago. All three of them have been nurses for over 20 years, along with my great grandmother being a nurse for gawd who knows how long. They say...

That is just horrible that your office made you wait 3 hours!! They should have let you know if they did not have any appointments for you! We have patients call in and see if we have any appointments each day (15 min intervals), if not we refer them...

I would prefer 3 12's. I currently work at an office setting thats supposed to be 5 9's but its more like 1 12, and 4 10's plus some! If it wernt for my co-workers, Docs and patients I would go back to the hospital but I love my job too much!

I used work on a skilled unit at a local hospital, Now I work at a general peds office. We higher both experienced nurses and new grads. About half of the team came in as new grads. Like others have said most of us love our jobs/hours. 5 of us have t...

In Kansas City the only Children's Hospital is Children's Mercy. It is a very large hospital with many different campuses. I dont know the going rate though as I am a LPN and do not work there yet.

Where I work MMR and Varicella are both sub-q. the rest are IM

When Grandma was in the hospital early on in her fight with CA, I tried to keep the fact that I was a nurse a secret, but my family outed me :S asking all these questions about what the nurse was doing in front of the nurse, then the nurse treated me...

I would call APS like YESTERDAY!!! She is a risk to herself and her neighbors. its seems as though she is no longer capable of being on her own and if her children cannot provide the care, she needs either more in home care or to be placed in a facil...

This wasnt something I did but a fellow student: When I was in CNA class we were learning different abbreviations that could be used. We were going around the room and interpreting different scenarios. when it was the only male student's turn he must...

I work at a Peds office I got the littman classic infant stethescope and it is really nice. I got mine on discount (because the entire nursing staff ordered one) for 75$ but they were originally running around 90$ which isnt bad for a good steth.

I would go to a nursing supply store or scrub store and try out different ones I would stay away from the double tubing to start out.

mine was arount 2800$ for lasik using the microkeritome and 3200 for the laser knife.

I have a feeling that this subject has been brought up before....But watching a certain movie made me think about the odd tattoos that we as nurses see when giving our patients care. What are some of the oddest and oddest placed tattoos on patients ...

I know that when the child gets older to tell the parents not to put the child to bed with a bottle to soothe them to sleep, doing so lets the sweet milk set in the mouth and possibly rot the new teeth coming in. Also when the child starts to teeth ...

I had mine done last march, I didnt miss a day of work (I had it done on a Saturday going to work on Monday). I had major problems wearing contacts due to dry eye and a strong script level and as you know glasses were a PIA on and off the job. The on...

I went to school with a boy named Boyd Koch (pronounced Cock as in rooster or slang for male anatomy whichever you choose :).

I work in a peds office and some things I want to say are: -No we dont have a "munchies" machine, if you would stop smoking your dope and take care of you child we wouldn't have this problem now would we? -your child vomited after eating (insert a me...

Girl Scout Thin Mints are my vice...and their caramel delights well any GSA cookie in that case(we ended up with 4 boxes of thin mints alone plus the other 6 kinds we bought)!!! Also on the way to eat certain things...the ONLY way to eat a kit-kat i...

I'm in kind of a conundrum (if that's even the right usage of the word). I am currently a LPN and have been for a year in feb. I am going to get my RN its just how and this is where I hit the wall. I currently work at a pediatric office (have been si...

I also posted this in the student forum but I thought i would get more replies here: I'm in kind of a conundrum (if that's even the right usage of the word). I am currently a LPN and have been for a year in feb. I am going to get my RN its just how ...
