    Yeah..a lot of my nsg buddies use the old edition and they were ok too. However at our school the proff follows the book du jour and all the diagrams and interactive stuff online that he wants us to...

    z's playa replied to nurselrish's topic in International Nursing

  5. hesitations of becoming a nurse...ever had any????

    z's playa replied to nursekatrina's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no labor or delivery nurse but I think it's safe to say there's some 'butt wiping' going on ! Epidurals....no sensation below the waist...etc. And all that pushing can usually insure a nice flow...

  6. Codeine for analgesia

    z's playa replied to NurseFirst's topic in Oncology

    Codeine? Gosh..I can't say enough when it comes to how poorly I find this drug to be for pain. 7 to 10 % of the pop can't use it because they lack the enzyme that metabolizes codeine to morphine. So...

  18. ridiculous test questions

    z's playa replied to elizabells's topic in General Students
