  1. Lantus and NPH question

    Cassaundra replied to MDS_Coordinator's topic in General Nursing

    It was actually an assigned research question for a student. He was not told what to find, only to find the difference between the two and why. My instructor has over 20 years and said she learned...

  2. Patient needs a CT angio but is allergic to Iodine

    Cassaundra replied to helpnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Cassaundra replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

  5. No such thing as a stupid nurse

    Cassaundra replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Time frame for med passing

    Cassaundra replied to sydylo's topic in General Nursing

  8. Volunteering as an RN?

    Cassaundra replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice organizations are required to have a number of hours filled by volunteers if they are not-for-profit and take Medicare. I did a little volunteer time while in school for one. They really...

  10. What would you do?

    Cassaundra replied to TNRad RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean a Hep/saline loc or the tubing and all? In our area, people are sent home with saline locs if they require long-term treatment. Besides, if the pt leaves of his own accord and you did...

  11. Considering Nursing School at 52

    Cassaundra replied to LuvLife845's topic in General Nursing

  12. Incident Reports

  13. women working with women, why its so hard

    Cassaundra replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Part of what contributes to this type of behavior is age and where people are at in their lives. The young, single women are more worried about fitting in and having people to do things with outside...

  14. Scheduling C-Sections for Convenience Nurses Thoughts?

    Cassaundra replied to ECKPowers's topic in General Nursing

    I have always found this to be rather disconcerting. A woman's body is meant to handle things like childbirth and just cutting the baby out rather than explaining what happens in labor is just plain...

  15. Self diagnosis via internet

    Cassaundra replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it shows you're taking responsibility for your own health. You're intelligent and know enough about your body to not do something completely off the wall and decide if the remedies are...

    Thank you, Daytonite. All of that makes sense. :wink2: Learn something new every

  17. How would you answer this interview question?

    Cassaundra replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If asked this question, I think I would take a little different approach. I would tell her: Sorry to interrupt you. Is this an emergency phone call? (No) Then I need you to hang up and take care...

  18. New Arkansas Laws (bad news for nurses) ???

    Cassaundra replied to lavarn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not real happy about this either. The bill says they have to go through some sort of certification program. Isn't that what we do to get our degree only more in depth? I guess the only good...

  19. How is southern Arkansas university in magnolia?

    Cassaundra replied to toppkatt's topic in General Nursing
