  1. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    It's not even the fact that were exploring Mars. It's the several trillion dollars to do it that's the problem. Seems to me that would feed a whole bunch of people and cure as many with

  2. Dairy Connection to Headaches?

    Speculating replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I'd sure give caffeine some serious thought. I'm the same way when I don't get my coffee. Don't look at me, don't talk to me, and don't ask me any questions until I ingest a cup or two....

  3. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    Originally posted by southern rn I thought the greenfield filter was a filter to prevent lower extremity thrombosis from traveling to the lung and causing a pulmonary embolus? There's no way to filter...

  4. Would you join a union

    Speculating replied to BadBird's topic in General Nursing

    My Father was a union rep for over 21 years, and I followed in his footsteps as a rep for the few years I remained at the company. We were AFL-CIO. So without hesitation you can tell I'm a union man....

  5. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    You have a great point there Dianah, but I can't find anything specific to Lovenox. I come up with four other low molecular heparins including Lovenox. Lovenox itself doesn't mention anything in...

  6. Dairy Connection to Headaches?

    Speculating replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Poor milk has been getting blamed for a lot of things lately. I've seen studies that even link something in it to a cause of Crohn's disease. Tweety, you are a third shifter is it possible you might...

  7. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    I'll take a couple of deep breaths. It's okay I'll be alright. I'm just a little perplexed that I've been here this long, and no one has invited me to the breakroom yet. Sure make me eat my lunch out...

  8. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    I believe they are working on a pill, Tweety. And, there is no reason whatsoever that a pt. can't go home on Lovenox (in fact some do). You know the saying you can't teach an old Dr. new tricks. Some...

  9. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    Dianah, Lovenox would have done the same thing as the Coumadin. The end result would have been the same. Lovenox is simply a low molecular weight heparin. Good question though Dianah.

  10. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    I must have missed something. I didn't realize a-fib was involved which could have been a great instigator in the stroke. What a bad nurse I am for missing that. I'm still a Lovenox man myself. It's...

  11. So I have another vent

    Speculating replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I've been guilty before for trying to go to work when I don't feel so hot not wanting to leave my friends short handed. But, you truly have a gripe here and something needs to be done about that. P.S....

  12. King/Drew nurses were ordered to lie and key drugs weren't given. Criminal inquiries

    Speculating replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not a union member, but come on you guys blame the folks who need to be blamed. Where in the world did you get union out of this article? You guys blaming the union are just as irresponsible as...

  13. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly, Plavix and ASA are a great combination post stroke treatment, but like heparin and Coumadin they only help with anticoagulation (the prevention of formation of further clots). They don't...

  14. no more warning before inspections

    Speculating replied to canoehead's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    JCAHO and the hospitals in bed together please! say it isn't so. If that disappoints you then I best not tell you the little known fact that hospitals pay JCAHO to inspect their hospitals. Being JCAHO...

  15. Medications After a Stroke

    Speculating replied to Jay-Jay's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for you and your husband, and playing Monday morning quarterback can do more harm sometimes than good. Being a nurse you know you have a good year for progress to be seen. The time frame...

  16. Would you join a union

    Speculating replied to BadBird's topic in General Nursing

    Being an old union representative not nursing (AFL-CIO) whether or not you pay the dues to the union or not you are still represented by the union the same as everyone else. The question becomes do...

  17. Please help me - ADN or accelerated BSN?

    Speculating replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still an ASN looking toward my BSN. ADNRN, I believe people look toward management for a few reasons. It's called 8-4 and holidays

  18. Who's wearing white?

    Speculating replied to RNBN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Whites are difficult to keep clean as reiterated by everyone so far, RNBN2B. You wear what you want to wear, and what makes you look and feel good. I'm sure you look sharp in your whites. When you...

  19. Please help me - ADN or accelerated BSN?

    Speculating replied to AnnaN5's topic in General Nursing

    AnnaN5, one of the previous posters Fran makes a great deal of sense. I'm quite impressed with your imminent credentials. How many classes are you taking in order to finish your BS? Are they classes...

  20. Are NMs privy to their staff's hourly wage?

    Speculating replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Of course we expect something in return, It's called that warm fuzzy that we get deep inside, and it feels so good that it makes us want to do it again and again! It was nice to chat on the board with...

  21. Are NMs privy to their staff's hourly wage?

    Speculating replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Every evaluation I've ever had so far required me to evaluate myself first. Then the NM would do a 1:1 evaluation and at the end my signature was required along with the evaluator. The only times I've...

  22. Are NMs privy to their staff's hourly wage?

    Speculating replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    It's usually the charge nurse that sits down and does your eval then gives you the raise. What the charge nurse knows the NM

  23. 2 nurses arrested in CA.....

    Speculating replied to sarahr5's topic in General Nursing

    I think the criminal matter isn't that they gave him something. The criminal matter is what they gave. There are a certain amount of things I can give per certain MD's mostly the OTC stuff ( mind you...

  24. Are NMs privy to their staff's hourly wage?

    Speculating replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Their privy. I just applied to a new job and she looked down at a sheet and gave me a price. It wasn't exact but it is the least amount you can make with your experience. Mine was the opposite the NM...
