I'm watching an OLD episode of Chicago Hope on Discovery Health channel. This episode, a doctor went to court to try and have a morphine drip increased for a patient in a vegitative state up to a fatal dose. What I found disturbing was one...at on...

Did it today. I was nervous too. It was a pre-packaged Lovenox shot. The patient's skin was thicker than I had anticipated, but I got it in enough, and all the medicine went in. No blood, no casualties :roll

I'm in my 2nd semester. Hardly anyone gets to do anything in the first semester but wipe butts lol

I have a Palm Tungsten E which was about $199 and came iwth a free aluminum carrying case. It had about 32MB of memory on it, but I got a 512MB expansion card for about $35 from Staples. I think it works great.

Thanks for the commentsn and encouragement guys. Yeah, my instructor had thought I gave one before. She helped me with the G-tube meds then she goes "Okay, well, you know the shot goes in the abdomen 2 inches from the umbilicus, so go ahead, I've go...

I'm a first year student and doing my med surg rotation. I have a Palm Tungsten E and I use it constantly and would be lost without it. Besides the calender, calculator, and addressbook in it, I also have Davis Drug guide, a medical dictionary, and ...

Those plastic pill bottles dont break down...they'd last like 1000 years in a landfill. I think its called the media stirring up a frenzy...they do that here about once a year too.

oooooohhhh....now you're making my heart flutter

Don't worry Angie...I've always had a thing for girls in scrubs, with sweat beading on her forehead and hair starting to fray out of its ponytail. :w00t:

While I've come to the conclusion that ADN nurses kill more patients than BSN...then BSN's kill more than MSN's and ADN"s kill WAY more than MSNs. Thats a lot of dead patients. But wait a minute, most MSN nurses don't do beside nursing...but thats s...

I just got an email from my advisor...I'm in a bit of a pickle. I have to make up this advanced physiology class because my ANP credits didn't transfer. This class is HARD HARD HARD..even the MD who teaches it says it should be a 300 or 400 level c...

Thanks Futurenrse...I've kind of been doing that already. I"m gonna find the sylabus and the point scale and add up exactly what I need for a C and keep a runnng total. I think that will help me too.

You know, there isn't any need for sarcasm or rudness, it was a question. Did you read all of my post and any of posts after? I'm quite aware of the differences in TV and reality.

i attended a seminar on this stuff a few years ago. assisted suicide is a doctor or someone providing a fatal dose, but the patient adminstering it themselves. euthanasia is the dr himself adminstering the fatal dose, though they sound pretty much ...

I don't know how much that would help...he teaches out of three books, talks 100 mph...and it takes forever just to find the many different things he's talking about. Just frustrating. This is like medical school stuff, I don't know how it pertains...

Oh okay. Well, letting nature run its course on a child or anyone who cannot be saved isn't my concern. Its just the stuff like in that article mentioned about retarded babies or something.

what do you mean by non-viable?

The only other thing I read besides my textbooks is my bible...I need all the help I can get

The place I used to work at required a Dr.'s order.
