  6. Question from test today, need your opinion PLEASE!!

    Agnus replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    I would have gone with the medic alert answer. This is again a demonstration of the lag between practic and theory. No one wears one or is even recomended to wear one for this that I know of but...

    Agnus replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the answer I did not see the earlier post of it. (this new format on the BB is confusing) Force Fluids is a very old term. Even in the old days they did not litterally mean to force....

    Agnus replied to BadBird's topic in General Nursing

    So you would represent your self in court? There are numerous situations in life where it is to your advantage to hire someone else to do a job rather than do it ourself. Unions have the skill and...

  18. Ultram cost me my new dream job

    Agnus replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

    The mistake was not having a script. Producing one (even) after the test would have protected you legally. Hope you went to your MD about this hip

    I just looked up Trammadol. I noticed some of the side effects and interactions were like those of an opiate. This made me wonder about its relationship to opiates. So, I read further then I found...
