faster, [color=#483d8b] thank you for sharing about ttm. i think it's wonderful that you're feeling better about having this, and using your experience to help educate others. being teased and tormented as a child is devastating. children are very...

have you ever heard of care credit? i had to have some work done at the dentist (crowns) and i ended up getting a care credit card to use. with their card, you can use it for any dental or medical procedure, or even at a vets office on a pet. then, ...

i know that was very long. i didn't mean to write a novel!!! [color=#483d8b]i simply wanted all of you to know that even when you're having the worst day ever at work, there is certainly someone who's life you change, and they do appreciate you! [c...

you know, it's interesting how i just happened upon this thread a short time ago. i think you guys have every right to be angry by the way some people behave while in the ed. now, i know this is a "rant thread" about how unappreciated you guys are, ...

i'm in ohio, too. and we sure did have awful wind and storms last sunday. around where i live there were a lot of power outages, and there are some residents who either just had power restored, or still don't have any. on monday a lot of schools in m...

Thank you for serving our country! I think you're going to be a wonderful nurse! :)

oh, bethin!!! what a horrible tragedy!!! i just got up and read this first thing, and i am so sorry to hear about this!!! are you okay? i can't imagine how difficult it would be to not only know them, but to have this happen in your own back ya...

when i read your post, my first thought was that perhaps the surgeon really maybe doesn't like that tech, and was thinking by saying that, then perhaps they would go work in a different area after they finish nursing school! [color=#483d8b]now, i ...

does your drug screen check for buprenorphine? i wonder if perhaps that could be something that's not showing up. subutex and suboxone don't come up on just a regular drug test. i guess it has to be specifically looked for. my doctor sent me to ge...

oh, that part about the dog groomer offering your dogs toe nails as a sacrifice was great!!! :chuckle [color=#483d8b]i used to have people ask me, "oh....you're a maid? really?" complete with disgusted looks upon their faces! i had many responses...

how wonderful for you to save your brothers life! that had to have been a very scary situation to find yourself in. you will be a great nurse! [color=#483d8b]i think if he doesn't appreciate you saving his life now, he will appreciate it eventuall...

i have a question. what exactly are the things that cma's are doing now, that they are not going to allow them to do anymore? what exactly would basic cna type duties include? [color=#483d8b]i understand that cma's are needed sometimes. i guess my e...

i have to agree about that being pretty gross!!! makes you wonder what these people are thinking. [color=#483d8b]i do have to say, though, that when i saw the title of this thread, that i thought, "oh, a mom had both of her babies on the same day! ...

you know, i had a situation sort of opposite! i wanted to breast feed my first baby so bad, and my mother was not encouraging of that at all. (for her own selfish reasons. her theory was that if i breast fed, then she wouldn't be able to feed my baby...

your welcome! she's doing well now, thank you for asking. her hair is growing back now. she wants to be an oncology nurse. she said she thinks she would do well as one, since she's been through it herself. for now she's working at a ltc facility. sh...

i first came here because my sister was in nursing school, and i wanted to gain a better understanding of how to be supportive of her. i will always be supportive of her, of course, no matter what she does. but i really wanted to gain a clear unders...

unbelievable!!! you're right, as soon as a guest in a restaurant begins behaving in an unacceptable manner, they call the police. in every single restaurant i have worked in, that is exactly how it was. i would think that at the hospital, they wou...

i have a story. [color=#483d8b]i moved into the duplex i live in about 5 years ago. when i first was looking at the place, the whole thing was empty. so i got to choose what side i wanted to live in. [color=#483d8b]well, about a month or so after ...

i live in ne ohio. i've lived here my whole life, except two years when i lived in pittsburgh while attending school there. i never knew we "talked funny" here! in fact, i read this whole thread and i thought most all of it was "normal" (whatever tha...

i agree with discussing it with your supervisor again about it, so perhaps next time something like that happens, perhaps they'll back you up. i would think the hospital policy was created for a reason and should be followed. if they allow one person...

okay, i really just don't get it with the whole "customer service" bit. seems i have been hearing that a lot in regards to nurses. [color=#483d8b]the job of a nurse is to care for patients who are sick, broken, dying. you know, you guys save lives!!...

i've worked with people like that before. they make your entire day miserable! i got to where i dreaded going to work, as it felt like i was going to my own execution! anyway, from my own experiences, it turned out that the people felt like they had...

you know, i have three children. i am not a nurse. (i am currently working as a maid while i go to school). from my own experiences, i would perhaps rather have a nurse who hasn't had children! all of the nurses i had were knowledgable. however, when...

i have a question. i'm not sure if you guys can answer it or not. [color=#483d8b]i'm just wondering, if somebody who is not bleeding has to get blood given to them, can they get too much blood in their bodies? is that possible? where does the extra ...

no, it's not for medical advice or anything. perhaps i should have explained why i was asking. at work today, we passed by a really bad accident. (we go to people's houses, so we're out driving around all day) this brought on the conversation of emer...
