2. Tips to keep shoes white?

   Brittneesher replied to ameriarmybrattLPN's topic in General Nursing

4. Nurse Emptied Sharps Container!!!!

   Brittneesher replied to proudmommielpn's topic in General Nursing

   Must be crazy to do that! I've heard several stories of needles dropping and a thick shoe being the saving grace. Also, seems like a lost cause to dig a pill out of the sharps container. What's the use? Surely she didn't plan on anyone actually takin...

5. Allergic to Benadryl?

   Brittneesher replied to Brittneesher's topic in General Nursing

   That is really interesting. Makes me wonder whether they are actually allergic to the diphenhydramine molecule itself or an additive, dye, or preservative inside. So I guess there are no OTC alternatives to treat allergies if one cannot take Benadry...

   Brittneesher replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

   I must make a correction.... the product giving me H/A was NECTAsweet not NUTRAsweet. It definitely was saccharin. Aspartame doesn't give me the migraines. I suppose it affects people differently just like most other chemicals.

9. 'Have your views on aspartame changed? DO you use it?"

   Brittneesher replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

   I know this topic is about aspartame, but I have a little rant about saccharin. I bought these nutrasweet tablets for my coffee (I think they were on sale almost free and now I know why). I recently started to get severe migraine headaches immediate...
