  1. Pediatric Vaccinations

    Niece of President James Buchanan and served as White House hostess. Left a large sum for invalid children to Johns Hopkins Hospital upon her death in 1903. Is that enough for the extra credit?...
  2. Pediatric Vaccinations

    Is the "Red Book" Harriet Lane??
  3. How To Handle?

    I think that I would speak with my direct supervisor (behind closed doors) and tell her that in the future you would appreciate it if those issues could be discussed privately. It was neither the time...
  4. Ever heard of "blocking"?

    His presentation was very atypical. Often the pain of appendicitis will subside shortly after the appendix ruptures. As far as "blocking" the pain, everyones pain threshold is so different. I'm just...
  5. Union

    Women who "assertively speak up, say what they're thinking, cut to the chase", etc. are often taken for b*****s. That fact never stopped me, however. I don't rely on men to pick up the slack. I am...
  6. Union

    Until accountants and attorneys get out of the healthcare systems, I don't see very much change taking place for the better. Patient care is suffering, nurses are loosing their sanity, and docs are...
  7. I do agree with RN1989's post (and usually do on ALL of them). Perhaps it is the nurses who have been in this profession for yrs (and know the difference in the healthcare system) who seem to be less...

    Tazzi, you're a better woman than I am! Are we supposed to order consults now also???? :angryfire
  9. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    Sometimes I just have to laugh at these "little fellas"!!! It would be so nice to have their tantrums videoed to make them sit and watch themselves a few days later! It would also be nice to have a...
  10. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    Would you PLEASE tell your wife to stop paging you in the O.R. just to tell you that she loves you? We are trying to do surgery here and I have better things to do than answer your freakin' beeper for...
  11. bachelor's degree question

    I'm just saying that, IMO, it would be foolish not to go ahead and get the psych. degree with only 4 classes left. That would be another accomplishment under her belt.
  12. Anyone else gotten this?

    I got a letter in the mail today informing me that I was "recently appointed as a biographical candidate into the "Cambridge Who's Who Among Executive and Professional Women in Nursing and...
  13. bachelor's degree question

    Cinnamon, If you only have 4 classes left, I think it would be very wise to get that psychology degree completed and out of the way. You can decide after that what to do about the nursing degree. One...
  14. Nurses that just "pass the buck".

    You may have to go with the one week suspension and then termination for next offense. Let the staff know that this is the next course of action. Sounds like the nurses have gotten quite lax. and...
  15. Bad day in the psychiatric hospital

    Reute, In this country you just CAN'T sit on your patient! You must get some help!
  16. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    I used to have an orthopaedic surgeon bring his kids to the O.R. all the time while he made rounds! IT DROVE ME CRAZY!!!!! I was busy doing cases and then they sat in the holding area til he got back....
  17. Anyone else gotten this?

    Dar15, No, they're not asking for money--YET! I have a few certifications. Could be they got my name and info.that way... Thanks, everybody!!!!
  18. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    TiredMD, Sorry... as my old Southern dad used to say: "I can't dance in those drawers!"
  19. Holidays=Sad Residents,What would you say

    I don't know how y'all do LTC! this is one of the reasons. God Bless you who take the time to care. It would just break my heart!
  20. Should I stay or should I go???

    I AM CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR YOU, georgie3!! This place sounds downright dangerous! I am sure that your husband was amazed by HR's comments. Sounds to me like any warm licensed body will do. Good...
  21. Help for a Procrastinator

    Make yourself some 3 X 5 index cards to use as "flash cards". List the name, class of drug, usual dosage, common uses, side effects,
  22. Sinus tachycardia question

    Could you suggest cardio and endocrine workups? I'm wondering about that if she's hanging around 120-130 "all the
  23. Should I stay or should I go???

    Wait a minute. HR told you that "it would not be any different elsewhere"? THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM with that system! My advice is to GET OUT! Poor patients! Is the hospital accredited?
  24. Alexander's Care of the Patient in Surgery

    I would highly recommend
  25. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    I think the bigger question is why is he making these comments about his patients? VERY INAPPROPRIATE. I also think that it is inappropriate to have your children rounding with you as a doc, although...
