    The Worthy Banana

    Havin' A Party! replied to nightingale's topic in Holistic

    I eat a small one almost everyday, mostly for the potassium. Wouldn't do two -- way-high glycemic index. Not sure I agree with all statements on the list posted . Someone may wanna verify / confirm...

    Pizza!

    Havin' A Party! replied to donmurray's topic in Nursing Humor

    Was gonna put in my order for the same until they informed me that pizza isn't that thin anymore and is delivered with a booze and potpourri-of-drugs topping. So I hung

    Depressed about job experiences as CNA

    Havin' A Party! replied to Krissy NY's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let 'em get to you, K. They're probably jealous. You sound real nice to me and competent. If you truly dig the field (lots of opportunities for a young person like you), search out a better...

    What is the term for this condition?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Palpitations's topic in General Nursing

    Palp -- Please check my previous response to Dry. Think the most accurate test for Mg is an intercellular one which is rarely done (expensive). Most of the Mg in our bodies is in the cells. Don't...

    What is the term for this condition?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Palpitations's topic in General Nursing

    Magnesium oxide -- only about 4% of the Mg is absorbed, if I recall correctly. That leaves a lot of it in the bowel to act as a laxative. Mg glycinate (best), also called chelated magnesium, is much...

    Palp -- What kind of a mag did you take? Mag oxide is known to not be well-absorbed. Recall citrate is the way to go. Keep us

    Havin' A Party! replied to Palpitations's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Just last night I checked a patient's pulse on the left radial and it was relatively strong and regular. Proceeded to the right and obtained a significantly lower rate (and weaker quality)....

    Is a Friday a good day to job hunt?

    Havin' A Party! replied to J Lynn's topic in Nursing Career

    Monday is generally NG, unless a prior appointment has been arranged. I'd say Tuesday through Friday morning are probably better. And don't walk in bright and early. Give the folks some time to...

    Do new grads belong in the ICU?

    Havin' A Party! replied to LadyBugLass's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sorta why I'll be accepting a tech position in our ICU when the spot opens. That way, in effect, I'll be securing an 18-month orientation before earning my nursing degree. Most ICUs don't hire right...

    Ang -- I can sing them lyrics to the Beatles' "Taxman." You have to use the bridge section of the tune. Try it! Works well!

    Just wanted to bump this up for selfish reasons: to avoid taking the time to research this myself. (Leaving on vacation on Friday.) Anyone have any examples?

    I'm not about to grant anyone an easy out on this. Very much in favor of mandating program participation (but we can't legally force 'em into one that's religious based). Individual responsibility...
