    Liddle Noodnik replied to hollyvk's topic in General Nursing

    We do have that (hope) Levo. We always have hope - thank you for your honest post. I do feel that some of us parents (myself included) did our kids an injustice by being too kind and too worried...

    Liddle Noodnik replied to BubbleRN's topic in Home Health

    Liddle Noodnik replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    That "looking forward to it" attitude really makes a difference. I'm glad! The "I'm dreading it" attitude I often have makes it REALLY HARD! By all means jump in, happy to meet you! Do you mean...

    I always thought the bile thing was about returning what was needed to continue digesting food or give them something to throw up (ha ha ha!) or whatever ... As to the keys, you had a numbered lock...

    I AM having fewer cravings but with those two things I had last week I was struggling not to "find" more... If I do without it the cravings seem to stay away...

    Liddle Noodnik replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good woman, that! lol Lots of our patients would mark goodies "7-3", "3-11" and etc. Harder to get away with eating all our food! Sometimes, different places I've worked would give pizza parties,...
