I'm curious as to what everyone else's protocol is for central line dssg changes. Currenly where I work we do PICC lines, Midlines, Subclavian, and Jugualar dssg changes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I'm wondering is there any research out there deal...

I'd just like to say that I'm perfectly happy with my job and the $$ I'm earning. If you want somthing to complain about try farming, there's all the responsibility that you'd ever want 24/7 hours with hardly making any $$, sometimes even making -$$....

Before you decide one way or another I suggest before you get serious you really check out whatever MSN program you decide on and see what their requirements are. Also consider that you will doing nsg research in a MSN program and in the BSN program ...

I totally agree with you, passing thru. That's just his way of communicating, that's life, he's a farmer that's just how it is. He's not insulting anyone, try not overanalzye. And if you disagreed with him then why didn't you say somthing right ther...

Actually you should check with your state laws because that is considered pt abuse/neglect and in most states BY LAW your employer is usually obligated to report things like this so that a The State Board of Nursing can have a review committee/hearin...

I suggest you get to a doctor immediately before your bi/trigeminy and ST turn into V-tach which is lethal.

Yes it is compatible, the book I'm looking at before me (Mosby's 2004 Intravaneous Medications) lists diltiazem as being Y-site compatible, however it is underlined which means conflicting compatability information. There are also it looks about ever...

I feel I need to say somthing after reading the 82 replies to this post. It makes me sick to see all of the backstabbing b/n ADN vs. BSN discussion. I'm a BSN nurse and I'm damn proud of it. I have no problems with ADN nurses, they are good people ju...

Update heard on the way into work tonight that my states senators (including Daschle) and congressman will not vote to reopen the borders until Country of Origin Labeling is in place.

I do know of 1 company around my area for hemodialysis, I think they called their company Davita. Not sure if its national or regional (midwest). Hope this is of at least some help.

Ok I see it on the right there, must have missed it. I like what these guys are doing, however even though it says There is still no link to any cancer site that even mentions these guys. I'm sorry I'm a little picky but when I donate I want to ma...

Sounds like more than just the surgeons fault.

Boy you know this a really great idea and all that these guys are doing this however I have my reservations about dontating to these guys. Perhaps if they had a link on there to their charity or if they even picked a charity yet, I might donate. ...

Man what will they pull out of their &*^es next? No matter what we are ALL going to die of some type of cancer. Choose your fate, (insert Pinhead here from HellRaiser). A. sunlight= skin cancer. B. no light= colon/rectal cancer. Boy people aren't...

Haven't had to for a while, where I work we have a complete computerized system, but we still call them for clarifications sometimes when need be.

Well first of all I went to the url you posted however I could not find the info Gwenith posted Anyways onto to the good stuff, yes its possible the U.S. could have BSE. However NO group has EVER discovered BSE in any cattle herd in the U.S. tha...

Do you have a url gwenith?

epaminondas, Interesting conversation we have here, and yes I do agree this is one of the most interesting topics I have seen on here in a while. Anyways onto the good stuff. At the meat packing plant, (they haven't been called slaughter houses for...

FYI too I never advocated smoking as a healthy lifestyle, I was just comparing two EXTREMES for reference. Give me a break man, lol. The point is you can lead whatever lifestyle you choose and still end up on the short stick when your judgement day r...

epaminondas, Since you ask if there's anything you can do for me I'm going to take you up on it. How about a study on pre-albumin and albumin levels in A. vegans B. red-meat eaters C. control group (demographic sample) Also the same study in Hgb/Hct ...

I'll just repost my earlier post for those of you who are too wrapped up with vegetarianism to read. I know I will get more backlash from 2ndcareer and carolady but I don't like to repeat myself, so I just quoted myself. I will refrain from making ...

Carol. No, our family has never dealt with veal and the farm has been in our family since the early 1930's. I am not aware of any farmers my surrounding area either who deal with veal. epaminondas Please take you post and post it elsewhere, I in no w...

Honestly I don't even know how we got onto this red-meat vs. vegetarian topic. The post shifted. It was intended for Mad Cow Disease and someone brought up the old topic vegetarians. I really don't have anything against vegetarians, I even have a fri...

well i'll work this in reverse here, lol. i don't have much time to discuss here but perhaps will some other time. i researched the post/quote above this one on iron deficiency anemia and came up with some interesting findings. as much as the vegan w...

And get no true B vitamins, yeah thats real smart, lol. I'll bet someday vegetarianism will be a risk factor for anemia.
