    louloubell1 replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    louloubell1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    louloubell1 replied to LolaRN's topic in General Nursing

    louloubell1 replied to sway's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    louloubell1 replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  16. OB ethical dilemma-need some advice

    louloubell1 replied to Jedav's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry, but I disagree completely. As kmchugh said, you are first a human being. Witholding care does not, in my opinion, include refusing to be a provider for an elective abortion. I am deeply...

  17. Out of my scope - NEED HELP!!!!!!

    louloubell1 replied to militaryRN's topic in MICU, SICU

  22. Pseudoseizures?

    louloubell1 replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm thinking the same thing. How is it that you are aware of what the neurologist had to say about her EEG? Nobody's business but hers, and a huge, huge HIPAA

  23. Nursing and body piercings

    louloubell1 replied to Pronurse's topic in General Nursing

    Alnamvet, I must say that I resent the implication that a piercing, tongues in particular, make a person "low rent." I had my nose pierced about 14 years ago. I pierced my tongue about 10 or 12 years...
