It sure came across that way Holy Crap! My Dad's having an MI!! Why all the hysterics? Why not just teach your child what is the proper thing to do, discuss it, practice it, do not scare the poor girl.

A magazine suscription of our choice. Big Whop!

K+ 8 Calcium 1.2 BUN 78 Every lab on this patient was way off. The patient died in the ER.....Rhabdomyolysis. Never have seen anything like it.

I wore Birki's for awhile and then they quit working. I have been wearing Walk-Fit insoles for 3 years, had my feet recently re-xray'd and my heel spurs are 1/3 of the size they used to be. www.walkfit.com

We had an elderly lady in the hospital, she was like 84, she kept saying her Mom was coming to see her and guess what? She did! Her Mom was 97 years old. Alert, orientated and ambulatory!

They "always" have openings, many and all the time. That signals to me that they are not retaining nurses. I'd beware.

Got the injection vaccine and absolutely no side effects.

I don't see anything wrong with including BSN in your title. I haven't heard of anyone who was talked about because of it. Seeing these nurses with titles such as Nancy Nurse, RN, BSN, CRNP, LNC, APN, LNC are ridiculous.

I don't think the BS degree belongs in your nursing title. I think it should just be Nancy Nurse RN, BSN.

No you didn't. You have to check the armband at the patient bedside immediately before applying the nitro patch. Learn from your mistake and do your best to move on. I'm sorry it happened to you. I know you're heartbroken over it. Don't let it scare ...

Obviously she didn't or she wouldn't have made the error. That's exactly why I love e-mar. (scanning bar codes)!

I had a ruptured herniated disc and got good relief from a chiropractor. My sister had surgery and wished she had never had it. The pain went from bad to constant and I'm pain free. Best of luck in whatever you choose to do.

No I don't think the subconscius mind was reacting. She doesn't like needles and she acted like a human being who is scared of needles. I think it's good when, we as nurses, occasionally have to be on the other end of the needle so that we can better...

It's wrong, very wrong. Draw up one syringe with a small amount of lidocaine for the IV start and a seprate syringe with the amount of lidocaine anticipated to be used to deaden the area to be worked on. It's not only wrong, it's dangerous, lazy and...

Always help the patient first whether or not there is a DNR. DNR does not equal "let them die". If they are in the dying process and you can make them more comfortable with oxygen then that's what you do. They may be a DNR or they may have a living w...

When we have a death in the ER we place tape around any rings after we inventory what jewelry is on the body.

I'd hate to think my children didn't think I was worth $100. It's on their conscious, yours is clear.

I had a patient who had a CT with contrast ordered. She had a port (round) she said she had had a CT a couple of weeks ago in another city and the ER nurse accessed the port with a power port huber needle and they used it with the power injector. I t...

We all give it differently and there has to be some type of protocol or manufacturers directions but I sure can't find them anywhere. We have given it with 4 oz of juice, 6 oz of diet soda, 6 oz of orange juice, 2 oz of Kool-aid, how do you give it?...

That is too awesome! Who manufacturers it?

Surely you gest? Have you have had an NG inserted down your nose?

My ASN is supporting my family of four very nicely. I work with BSN who make the same amount per hour that I do.

I have the opportunity to switch departments. Has anyone had any experience with being an RN Circulator. The description is: Manages the physical enviroment of the patient care unit; Monitors and directs utilization of supplies and other resources ...

I will definately be working during a Pandemic!

Of course and she doesn't need permission. An LPN is a licensed nurse
