    grad*student replied to sweetcaroline's topic in Washington Nursing

    Twantland, I used exactly your rationale when moving from NC to Seattle five years ago. I love it here, but believe me, housing is shockingly high. You have to pay at least 450K for a house that isn't...

  2. Please interpret this med order

    grad*student replied to Jennabugs's topic in Patient Medications

    This is how I interpret it, and how the docs on an ortho floor where I used to work interpreted it. We would always offer the pt 5-10 mg first, but let them know that more medicine was available if...

    grad*student replied to william5703's topic in Infectious Disease

    I couldn't edit my post, but just wanted to correct what I said about VRE/MRSA normally being non-lethal. For some patients, it obviously can lead to significantly longer hospital stays, disability,...

    grad*student replied to william5703's topic in Infectious Disease

    about the confidentiality aspect of your post: VRE/MRSA are generally acute and non-lethal (though not always), while HIV is a chronic lethal condition that historically faces stigma & opens...
