My thoughts are with you. I was in an abusive relationship, also. Thank goodness you are out. I really hope you will fight this. To think that you may have to give him anything is UNTHINKABLE! My heart goes out to you, stay safe...

Yup, had some of those dreams, too. My most recent was that I had a new patient way out of my area, who was the mother of a friend from YEARS ago. She was to have a Fragmin inj. Anyway, I gave her the injection, THEN read the chart! She was only ...

I have used that on for much of my homework, lately and I found it great. (Assesment for RPN's) Very usefull!!

I graduated in '92..A whole DECADE ago! I feel as though it were much more recent, because there is always something new to learn. I would say that I am content for now. If only I could go for my RN part-time!! (Need that paycheck) :)

Welcome!! (From one addict to another!) :)

Hope that you enjoy your new job!!

If you are interested in Palms, there is lots of info in the thread "Palm Pilots". Do a search, I'm sure you can find lots of stuff there.:)

If nursing is what you want to do, then GO FOR IT!! How can one not feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that what they do helps onother? (Or many?) I have worked other jobs, plant work, waitressing, janitor, bartending... Nothing compares to nursi...

:) "Just DO it!!" You won't regret it. I went back to school as a single Mom, pregnant and just out of a REAL bad relationship. Spent some of the time in a shelter. It was a challenge, but I am SOOO glad I did it. I still wish I could have gone ...

You are what "being a nurse" is all about! :)

Regarding reusing self catheters; we had a lady on the program, I think for residual, anyway, the caths were washed, then soaked in Savlon, or chlorohexidine. I was surprised at the time, too. It was okay, per policy. (Homecare)

I had an "accident with the garage door window, a few months back. Hypofix sealed the crasks quite well, temporarily.:)

Caring to me is treating each patient, as you would want your Mother, Father, Grandparent, Child to be treated. (As a person and not the DISEASE.) Each person is unique. Kind, thorough, competant care.:) Being able to laugh:chuckle , or cry . Nu...

Hi! I am a Comminity RPN, and absolutely cannot imagine doing any thing else. I love being on the move and every day is so different from the one before. I love to drive, so this job suits me fine. Lots of paperwork, but not overwhelming. And you...

I was charge nurse on a night shift one summer night. We were going through scabies precautions. (ick) Every one had to have on long sleeve gowns, gloves, etc. This particular facility was right on a corner and was a main street. That night, didn't ...

FLOWERS!! That reminds me of my first experience of someone dying on my shift. Her daughter had just left to go home to shower/change. The lady died. Then I could swear I smelled flowers! Still gives me shivers. Hasn't happened since...

Definitely believe this. A few weeks before my Mom died (Ca), she said that her "Daddy" and her mother came to see her. She said that she was not afraid anymore. Very peaceful after that.

Morning sickness!! Ah, the memories! The first thing I did was BAN THE FRYING PAN!! The odour of anything fried set me right off. Saltines, gingerale and apple juice.(Munch here, munch there, but never "over do" it.)

Hi! I am a new member. I have to admit that I have been "lurking" for some time before finally registering. This is a most interesting place, as well as very informative. (Kind of addictive, acually!) Anyway, just thought I'd jump in. Mert

America's Funniest Home Videos!! (Sure to give a belly laugh!) Jim Carrey's comedies, (He's such a goof!) BUBBLE BATHS, with a good book.

Thanks for the welcome! I am an RPN in the community setting, and I really like my job. (Get to see lots of stuff-a bit of eveything!) Been a nurse for almost 11 years, but still learning!! My favorite aspects are Palliative and wound care. (Order ...
