We've had such a long thread regarding whether or not we'd be a nurse if we could go back in time and start over again. Let's do something light-hearted! I'd like to know in one sentence what your dream job would be if you could choose anything...any...

Congratulations to all those "old" nurses, new nurses and nurses2b on Nurse's Day. Does your employer do anything special to recognize this day?

blood clot, can result from trauma etc - that would be why the ultrasound is required.

I worked in the burn unit, caring for a cop with 1st and 2nd degree burns of his face and hands (he was a very ranking cop). The police were disposing of a very large cache of weed from several busted grow-ops and Mr. Policeman decided to really get ...

Real wood fire real tree that we trek into the woods to find and cut on our own Had the gas fireplace, never used it - I love the crackling, the heat and the smell that only comes from real wood fireplaces. Love the Christmas tree, makes the whole ho...

Senior IT Security Project Manager...I call him a computer geek.

I have the light fairy - he/she turns on the lights throughout the house and garage; the kids would NEVER leave a light on.

I also recall that when UK refers to "5 weeks vacation", 5 weeks means 35 paid days off. In Canada, 5 weeks mean 25 days off (a week means 5 working days, not 7 week days). So if you start with an employer, and you get 3 weeks vacation, that only 15 ...

Serene is a great word for high birth numbered mothers...how could they be anything other.

I love the vaccine/cow trade, sounds fair to me LOL

They say you learn something everyday. Nebulized alcohol, alcohol tampons?? - this is just sick. What on earth will they think of next? - Forget I asked, I don't wanna know.

Might be worth a follow-up visit with the Dr in light of the family hx of reactions. With being his first sting and reacting the way he did, his next sting could be much more severe. Your Dr may consider allergy testing etc.

As the saying goes, been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. Get away, as fast as you can - another opportunity will arise.

Mitchsmom, I don't need the cards, but I wish to thank you for using this board to share your study cards. What a great way to connect with your fellow students! Sure saves on "reinventing the wheel" at every turn.

I would have loved if my spouse was sent on this type of errand while I was laboring- he drove me crazy!

Managers should not be requesting a medical note every single time someone is ill. But part of a corporate attendence management program may request that once an employee is flagged as having an attendence problems (more than average), medical docume...

I'm the only OHN for a transportation company with 2,900 employees. I have one coordinator for assistance.

Under privacy and protection laws, you don't need to give the reason for illness - only that you are ill and will not be at work. The manager has the right to request medical information to be provided - but again, that should not contain confidentia...

I remember my youngest doing the same - holding it for days until he started getting sick. He actually start to cry if his bowels moved while sitting on the potty. I think he was scared to use "the potty" as he definitely didn't have problems soiling...

I'm going to sound like a mean battle-ax mother. My boys are 12 and 14. Bedtime is a 9:00 on school days. But they are also up at 6:30 am for school. Weekends and summer are a free for all though - they go to bed when A - they fall asleep in living r...
