    ilmbg replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    ilmbg replied to docpsychrn42's topic in Nursing Career

    ilmbg replied to minnib's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. makeover of hospital bed- headboard/footboard

    ilmbg posted a topic in General Nursing

    this may not be the correct place to put my question. If not, it will be moved to a better place. Someone I know has a hospital bed at home. Of course it is an ugly utilitarian piece of equipment....

    ilmbg replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    ilmbg posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just returned from 4 days in the hospital. I think I am still in shock....not due to the dx, but due to the treatment by nurses. Now, don't think that any of them were 'witchy', or in bad moods....

  22. supportive treatment....poor- LONG!!

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention that I have talked to a neighbor- she is also an RN. I asked about the attitude of the nurses. She said because San Antonio is so very, very short of nurses, that they feel (some...

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I have been home a week now- maybe I can convey my thoughts a litlle better without being so scattered. I have also been a bit vague, because some of the very nurses that I am talking about may be...
