    Annual Physical - Does Your Job Require This?

    xoemmylouox replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Nursing

    We do get a discount on insurance if we submit paper work proving we had an annual wellness visit with our PCP. It asks for B/P, weight, if we smoke, and lipid panel results. I don't mind my employer...

    Annual Physical - Does Your Job Require This?

    xoemmylouox replied to seconddegreebsn's topic in General Nursing

    Uhhh.. I think the pregnant question is a no-no. Ditto to the OBGYN exam question.. The rest I am not too surprised with. I would leave those two questions blank, unless I was male.. Then I would have...

    Appropriate to go to a patients funeral?

    xoemmylouox replied to Emily456's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have been to a few funerals of patients. It all depends on the dysfunctions of the family. If I think me being there will be a problem I don't go. I have only felt like that once. I think it can...

    Transcripts keep disappearing - ideas?

    xoemmylouox replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Nursing

    How can they deny having them if you sent them certified mail?!? You have spent so much money with no resolve. I would ask them how they suggest you get the transcripts to them since they seem to have...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I do. My biggest problem is that I do not remember if I said something just in my head or out loud to someone. I end up repeating myself a lot..

    not comfortable with giving narcotic injection due to street drug interaction

    xoemmylouox replied to Sarge_BSN_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I guess I don't understand why a UDS was done? Perhaps it is your facilitie's protocol before narcs are given? If so, that is an excessive

    Patient Scenario and D/C home

    xoemmylouox replied to alm3RN's topic in Emergency

    Some do not understand just how quickly kids can spiral out of control. That kid should have been admitted for at least observation if nothing

    When did this trend start??

    xoemmylouox replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it isn't too tacky. I have seen plenty of nice ones that have allowed us to distinguish that person from the rest. I think graduation is a time of...

    xoemmylouox replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bedpan? Why not a Poise pad?

    xoemmylouox replied to TryVeganToday's topic in General Nursing

    I agree it can be tough to use bedpans. I think the suggestions of baby power and barrier cream were helpful. It is just as painful for men when they need to have a BM. As a patient I would still take...
