  4. Who numbs for needlesticks?

    PedsAtHeart replied to care4kids's topic in Pediatric

    Personally, I think numbing the area before an injection is more of a "mental" thing for kids. It seems to me that the needle stick itself isnt what hurts, its the actual medicine going in and...

  12. Bleeding normal at time of Mantoux test?

    PedsAtHeart replied to Ihoplover's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is OK for it to bleed a bit. If she went to deep you would not get a "bleb" and no bleb= redo the test. Thanks for posting the CDC reference LaneyB. I actually do employee health, therefore...

    1. I was introduced into nursing by working as a CNA at LTC. I loved the fact that I was helping people. I figured I could do more so I decided to become a nurse. 2. While working as a CNA, there...

  14. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    PedsAtHeart replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes it is... I have to say too that I am so glad we don't have this conflict where I work. I work in a clinic. We have an RN as our DON and the rest of us are LPNs with a couple of RNs in there...

  15. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    PedsAtHeart replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  17. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    PedsAtHeart replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    sorry, i think you took my example the wrong way... i was using them as an example of someone not being able to give informed consent. i guess i should have also said maybe someone in the advanced...

  19. MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    PedsAtHeart replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    So what you are saying, if you are in the position of suffering to no end and wanted it to just go away, you would want your nurse caring for you to push morphine until you go off peacufully. Though I...

  22. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    PedsAtHeart replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So are you saying as an LPN we have no theory behind what we do? And in your previous post, I sure do hope you were not trying to compare LPNs to monkeys... I was taught theory in school, yes we had...

  23. "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    PedsAtHeart replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know where you all are from that LPN's are "useless". I think we LPN's are quite an asset. I know where I live (Oklahoma) we can do pretty much what an RN can do, except some of the extra...
