    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Let's just say I was a "relative" of a man who was a stoner . . .and he vomited on me when stoned. No guarantees there BC. Recent story here just broke in the paper with more details. A local...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    It will resurrect . . . it always does.

    teenagers and pot

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I only have one little issue with your post and that is the last sentence above. It makes it sound like it is ok to drive while drunk because the stats are in your favor that you won't kill someone....

    teenagers and pot

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Statistically, that doesn't work because more people drink alcohol than smoke marijuana. You'd have to have similar samples to compare to see which one was worse. Personally, anyone impaired...

    Spidey's mom replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you like the spicier ones or just plain old Nacho Cheese? :Emoticon-Devil: You can have the Oreos. . . . We can still be friends though, right? Re: marijuana use in teens. Definitely a...

    Dreading Micro!

    Spidey's mom replied to beautyandbrains's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't like chemistry in high school but loved my teacher who tried very hard to make it understandable and fun. My goal at that time was so far removed from being a nurse! I never even considered...

    head lice :(

    Spidey's mom replied to GatezRN's topic in School

    One of the first educational websites I encountered about lice says exactly this! A great majority of the time people are NOT seeing lice but fleas or dandruff....

    Dreading Micro!

    Spidey's mom replied to beautyandbrains's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I loved Micro. And I'm not a "math/science" brain - I lean more towards literature, etc. I had a great teacher too. Personally, chemistry was harder for me. Micro makes more sense....

    autopilot mindset med errors

    Spidey's mom replied to MelissaMooRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Part of that is a system's error. Prefilled heparin syringes is the answer where I work. And they addressed this years ago by making the packaging not look so similar. Plus, always check your...

    Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    Spidey's mom replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    Your dilemma reminds me of a meme I saw for teachers this morning. Can't find it now but basically it has teachers asking the question "How do I get my students to like and respect me?" and the...

    The MANDATORY Skills fair

    Spidey's mom replied to Hippy chick's topic in General Nursing

    You made me think of all the times I've seen nurses bend over to do something and all I see is how low their scrubs are because I can see their butt crack! They either need to hike those pants up or...

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very good point. Sad though and I would also have to leave my agency if we decided to do this. There are 4 options according to the speaker at the conference. I don't have my conference...

    The MANDATORY Skills fair

    Spidey's mom replied to Hippy chick's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciated your explanation about what the heck was going on but I've never attended any "cutsey and amusing" skill fairs. Thank goodness! As to the "subjective" descriptors . . . I'm pretty sure...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    AV'ers are against all vaccines for basically the same reasons so came across this blog that also has that great Jimmy Kimmel video with the PSA from physicians. Thought I'd share "5 Reasons To Not...

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree but this isn't about Euthanasia. Yet. Our state passed Death With Dignity Act which will allow a physician to write a prescription for medication that a person with a terminal illness...

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned I'm liking not having two nursing jobs. My life is so much less stressful. And my grandson-to-be just showed up and I get to

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    The multi-dose vial is the one with the preservative Thimerosal. Both of the places where I work had individual syringes filled with the vaccine and no one used a multi-dose vial. So check to see...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Spidey's mom replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    So my chances of getting sick with influenza is lessened. Simple as that. I don't want to get the flu. My husband and my son get flu shots as well and they have no requirement to do

    California Jobs... I'm giving up!

    Spidey's mom replied to Nevada_RN's topic in California Nursing

    How rural are you willing to go? Here in far Northern California we need acute nurses at our small rural hospital. We have an ER and do deliver babies and minor surgeries and wound care. Have you...

    The Bad Day Thread

    Spidey's mom replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Oh, I keep my hand in. Once a school nurse, always a school nurse. I like the ER Nurse and OB Nurse forums as well. I just usually go with "What's New" first thing in the

    The Bad Day Thread

    Spidey's mom replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I'm sorry Farawyn. I like the quote above "Every child you encounter is a divine appointment". Or coincidence. Regardless, we let them in our hearts and then take that risk. I think it is worth...

    Spidey's mom replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I love driving with the windows down and my arm resting on the window with my hand up and feeling the breeze. I doubt that pane of glass will protect much in a bad accident. I have two nephews...
