^ Because people are under the false impression that this vaccine is brand spankin' new.

^ And doctors are horny buggers with severe emotional issues and mommy/daddy problems.

Anti-hug'er spotted! ... Can I hug you?

Judging from the responses, you might want to clarify if you mean a warming cupboard or an electric blanket.

I think we an all agree that they have to be darted in. The "slow" they're referring to is the injection rate of the medication, not the speed at which the needle goes in.

Thanks! I appreciate that information.

I thought the flu (all flues) were droplet, not respiratory? Mask with eye shield, not n95.

I lift weights and run as often as I can in the week. When I don't have access to the gym, I use the P90x system... I just get bored of it pretty quick. Starting strength is AWESOME!

I was taught 10 seconds per mL and two hands for stabilizing. Also, always landmark. I see them on TV not land marking properly and it makes me cringe!

It's the Internet -- no one cares.

LPNs start at around $23.50/hr here in BC, Canada with benefits. I forget what the RN starting wage is, but the max is $40.00/hour with benefits. LPNs got fully screwed over a few years back when our "union" (HEU) decided to cut wages by 12% (I thin...

^ wouldn't it be something else if it was actually hers: the paper and the meds. But she had just completely forgotten about them? haha

I would absolutely refuse to work with patients with precautions if my workplace didn't appropriately supply me with protective gear. That's just unacceptable. To whomever was asking about shoes: Mine stay in my car. They have their own spot -- they...

I wouldn't find it insulting unless I was guilty. I think a few of you are far too judgmental towards drug addicts and need to take a step back. A few of you could also re-educate yourselves about narcotics and pain management. You can't just pick ...

Gloves. Universal precautions just like the above poster said. I use hand sanitizer before I come into a room and after I leave the room - then try to find the nearest sink to wash my hands in. MRSA hates sanitizers and C.Diff hates soap and water, ...

I prefer 11 PM - 7 AM myself. Only because I never see my daughter during the other shift and it breaks my heart. 11 PM - 7 AM includes hourly rounds where I am. Changing over the MARs, main cupboard and cart counts, patient personal care as needed,...

Thank you for letting us know that companies back in the 1940's descriminated against different races. Are you for real? I refuse to believe you're not trolling. You wrote so much in your posts, yet you have actually said so little. Before you make ...

Complete defamation of character. Since the complaint was anonymous, I don't think a lawyer could take court action, however, having a lawyer send him a letter about you willing to take legal action if he attempts any defamation of character might he...

To clarify before someone gets the wrong impression -- toothbrushes can have blood on them from brushing too hard or from mini sores in the mouth. Hep C can then survive through the harshness of our stomach. It's blood transmission only.

Your employer is WAY out of line... They need a crash course in Hep c. They're obviously quite ignorant about the virus. I'm sorry for your diagnosis! Hep C can stick around for decades without any symptoms warranting investigation. Can you remember ...

I don't think she would have wanted anything more than that. Remember the good past that you guys did have together, don't mourn the past you didn't have with could have, should have, would haves.

I don't mind nights. You'll learn to love 'em.

I can't believe a nurse would advocate against donating blood. Good lord.

Worst I've come across is "pt. c/o soar throat." D: We all make errors in charting. I try to have good grammar and am usually really good with my spelling, but I'll re-read my charting and think "How embarrassing!" haha I sometimes leave out lette...

It (his sleeping) doesn't effect your own job, so why on earth would BRN care? It's not your job to write it out. If your manager is going to be like that now, I'd hate to see how she acts towards you later on down the line. Sounds like she uses her...
