    Cough drops

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

    We have one in our family. My husband's cousin's son is Skeeter. He was named that because he was very small when he was born - like a mosquito. Skeeter in our part of the world means

    Cleaning up a dead person in a hospice setting

    Spidey's mom replied to PhoebotNiChungngay's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The timing of the call to the funeral home depends on the family. Some want to do it themselves but after all the family have gathered to say goodbye. Some want the hospice nurse to do it but not...

    Cleaning up a dead person in a hospice setting

    Spidey's mom replied to PhoebotNiChungngay's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As hospice, we do postmortem care in the homes. In the hospital, most of the times the awesome CNA's beat me to it by the time I'm called and arrive at the hospital. I pronounce death. We don't...

    NJ School Nurse- EpiPens??

    Spidey's mom replied to linda1959's topic in School

    Big deep sigh. We had that law passed here in California last year. Fortunately CSNO (Californa School Nurse Organization) stepped up to the plate and wrote P&P for all the school nurses in...

    Is being a CNA imperative?

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

    This question comes up regularly so I hesitate to share my same old story. I entered nursing school with no prior medical history. My mentor advised me NOT to take the CNA class as I'd learn all...

    5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    Spidey's mom replied to anh06005's topic in Nursing News

    I can see where this choice between "heaven and hospital" can be a sticky wicket and this comment is an example. I'm a believer in God and heaven but know that angels are specifically created beings...

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

    I like it. :) I think we use the little dots to emphasize a pause . . .. . . a longer pause means something different than a . . . shorter pause. In a written paper or article, yeah

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

    Dip them in some hummus! I just spent the weekend in Oregon - we ate out at restaurants and at a wedding reception and I overate good-tasting but weight-inducing food. So, back on the low-carb...

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

    Farawyn doesn't like that. I've been chastised for it too. Risk and liability related to the petroleum jelly. Yet, we now have stock epi on campus. And train lay-people to give

    Cough drops

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

    We don't buy them because we are not allowed to dispense them without a doc's ok. Then it is up to the parent to purchase them. We had to get rid of petroleum jelly a couple of years ago (I keep a...

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

    I saw her walking down the hallway today and asked about it. She said it went down by half the very next day and was just a small bump this morning. Of course, I had to palpate. It was almost gone!...
