I love most colloquials too!esp. when they save 4-5 other words from being said!. arkansas ppl say "fixing on gettin sick" or "fixin on rainin"

that's a colloquial. dictionary ,it's frustrated .lol ,sue

flustrated? you're kidding,right? lol

the strippers have this rule ,or the management only sells bottles? don't think I understand. and can't u still put ghb in a bottle,eventually? sue

It seems to me that a lot of republicans don't participate in voter polls,(which is why so many turn out unexpected winners for the position of whatever, esp president) I'm for mc cain/ paulin

Knlck on wood,but my ltc facilitiy feels that res's loved ones feel more comfortable seeing the same faces all the time. The average age of nurses is is 50 ish, most have been ther at least 10 yrs. Also, they know that when family members are well aquainted w/ nurses they are comfortable with:) , they are less upset, if a mistake is made, which we all know the worse case scenario on that!

I don't get the flu shots,as I always get sick ,flu like , after. I have only had the flu once, prior to having taken them at all. I'm told by don I simply get a different flu after.Every time? I think I may be reacting to something else in the vaccine, thimerisol?

californiaLVN;It's like you said,shouldn't I be starting to settle, relax, then retire?Instead of doing all this rn studying. do you feel it's unfair to have to work so hard, so long spend so much to be an Rn when in some ways you feel ,as a good LVN you shouldnjust have to take a few tests, maybe get grandfathered in? I could be you talking. I'm 58, & started classes. Now they want me to basically start all ove,cuz I've been in ltc too long(away from hosp skills & knowledge , yet 1/2 the time I'm advising RN's on how to do such & such , how to talk to dr's, what to tell them what you want, plus monitoring cnas etc.Also are you thinking will I ever recoup the money i've spent on all this education? will I throw out my back, or have a heart attack next month? Am I close/sue

btw, when u do call/page the dr's and they call back pretty quickly, always thank them for getting back to you so soon, they seem to appreciate his , and may be more attentive to your perceived needs! sue

I'm thinking different hosp asap, butdefinately document all you can from there(present hosp)Myprayers are w/ you! sue

lvnandmom: mea culpa on spelt! never knew it sould be spelled 2 ways!Also, I figured prefect was a typo,just spoofin ya! sue

I really feel for you! maybe the daughter will apologize to you next time she sees you. Hey! It could happen!

Is it possible the cna u sent over to the other unit took a wrong turn(like out for a smoke )before going to other unit? You really don't know when she got there.

I think i'd consider it difficult if you want to learn the material, retain it & utilize it in the future,which imho one does, to be an effective nurse. Or, it's not so difficult if you want to just memorize for a good grade, then remember much, much less of it for the future,or to be able to apply it.! sue
