with the college network - Call it buyer's remorse followed by some not so postive feedback. Well, that and 5400 for a bunch of study guides seemed absurd even with "guarantee". :uhoh21: I am looking for opinions :) regarding the best distance ed...

I have been reading the discussion under LVN/LPN are we regarded as proffesionals...(paraphrased). I have also been to the NFLPN site and was suprpised by the lack of traffic on the message board (especially since this one is so busy!) I am refresh...

so- i work on a rehab floor in a medium size hospital. i do 2X16 qwkend and tomorrow morning we will have 2 nurses; 1 pca and 15 pts... mind you the charge I will be working with is "restricted" in physical labor due to "injuries" so I know she wil...

Anyone with allergies to Toradol, Demorol, Motrin, Codiene, Tylenol....etc and on the button every 1 hr 50 minutes for thier 2 mgs of IVP MSO4. Oh, and complain that the Ms. Dash didn't come with thier tray and can I have a diet coke, my bed needs ...

have any of you used them for their study guides? LPN - RN? what did you think? Thanks, Kate

Me too: 3 kids, homebirth, midwife - I controlled who saw my cootchie and when. There was a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally hot debate on this a couple of years ago on the board. A male LD nurse was part of the discussion. Look through the archives and see ...

anyone?

Just wanted to tell you thanks for all the great information. Now time will tell. Kate

We are thinking about relocating our family to Lansing. I suppose I am looking for general info regarding hopital nursing in Lansing: where you work, neighborhoods you like and why, cool things to do with the kiddos - really anything : ) Any help/a...

the part about "serving" her is what really chaps my #@%. please - someone - kill me now.

I think so... On our floor the most we get on days is 7 - and that can be insane if you have a patient on peritonial dialysis...or someone who needs suctioning or a really needy family... or a lot of diabetics... or a lot of pain meds.... The acuity...

Hands down - Mucomyst.... Man is that bad - it takes weeks to get it out of a room if the pt is getting regular nebs... I don't know how they take it PO - :uhoh21: juice just doesn't cut it.

One thing on the plus side.... It would save me from the frequent flyer, handwritten menu, I need this now pt. Sometimes a couple of folks like this on a shift with a super busy aide can put me in the weeds.

As my midwife explained and showed me.... when you deliver a baby face up the presenting part of the head is not the crown it is the front of the forehead and the top of the skull...which is a bit in larger diameter - hence a 6 1/2 # baby "feels" lik...

Hi mama - My #3 baby was born posterior - at home in the water with a midwife. My first 2 were too fast - 4 and 3 hours, so it was actually a blessing. My midwife had to do a little internal pressure on my bottom to make a little extra room, but ot...

"Legalize It" Peter Tosh

A nurse who worked on my floor (and had also been a nursing instructor) took a verbal order then administered Xopenex po as a gargle... She said that was how the MD rx'd it so ..... No-one would have known if another nurse hadn't seen the pt in the p...

I am fortunate to work in an acute setting here in Texas. IMO - If you have the time and $$ for school to go now - do it and get your RN. Many more choices as far as area of practice and better $$. I now have 3 kids and am getting my RN and man it ...

oh cr*p nevermind.

We can no longer write.. MSO4, qd, qod, U - others added I while I am writing this. Incidently - the other day i was doing chart check and an MD refused to sign the home med sheet. The nurse had written qd. He wrote "i cannot sign this order with th...

There is one... over olympus mountain tops a fin and german viewed some hops...someone help me here it's been a while.... I know there is another one for function.... help?

Love it... you can combine it with skullcap or motherwort for a synergistic effect. Kate

Post-partum utilizes LVNS...that's where lot's of the mom-baby stuff...helping mom get back on her feet, breastfeeding, helping mom learn how to care for herself/baby ...happens. Good luck in your search. XXOO Kate
