Still think its a great idea for screening.........

Where I work it is also a admission protocol.that swabs be taken.for MRSA as well as VRE...............Keeping these pts separated from negative swabs for MRSA and VRE.........

Hi..try online at http://www.avida.com................they will send you a catalogue or order online.............. well made products.........

Guess it depends where you live......I'm in windsor and RPN full time jobs are hard to find..........Part time temp jobs, you can get .........I.ve worked with some RPN that have 7-8 years seniority and still cant get full time positions................ Out rate of pay is approx $22 and change per hour............

Can I ask what Byetta is ???

Just the other day I had one of my patients ask if you could **** in my pants....Realizing what she said. she turned beat red and refraced her question :Can you change my pants............After a bit of a giggle we proceeded with the task at hand

Hi Porche......There is a pain clinic in the Windsor area....Its called the DeLisle Pain Clinic..... This older gentleman used to work at one of the car manufacturers. and after he retired he created this electro magnetic device for controlling pain in his basement......There was so much media coverage about it...That he was finally able to open his own clinic...With more modern magnetic equipment ...but working the smae way as his original./ I think there is a website..Hope this helps you or someone else........El :

Porche;;;;;;;;;;;;;Hi...Where in Ontario is your brother............??

Hi Angel::: I am an RPN in a Complex care setting in a hospital, actually on a palliative care floor...We have had RPN students on the floor for 1st semester . along with the teacher...The teacher usually asks the floor nurses which patients would be good to give the students...The list is then made and the teacher tells the student which patient it is...The student is responsible for coming in the hospital and going through the patients chart loooking for diagnosis, treatments, medications..reading the progress nots of other staff members..looking at dr.s orders. diagnostic tests.etc.etc. This way the student has a bit of insight into the patient before she actually meets them...... But at first. you will probably be given total basic to the patient and work your way from there...Then after the 3rd semester you will probably be buddied up with and rpn who will be your preceptor.........Hope any of this makes sense ...Good luck :)

They have one or should I say HAD a dunkin donuts but it didn.t last...Maybe bad location...but here Tim.s rules....

Your absolutely right...March is coming and hopefully I.m winning .( more than last time.....1 freakin cookie.. and the dog got it....LOL

Hi....I live in Windsor Ontario and YES... there is definetely a Tims around every corner....We had a few Robins in the city..But the ones we did have were in terrible locations...Even the drive through ones....I didn.t find their coffee all that impressive...Tims on the other hand.YUMMMMMMMM...Guess you could say I.m a Timmy's addict.... I don.t know about the nicotine in it..but I think the cream they use makes a big difference. I heard the coffee itself comes from Mother Parkers ..but its Tims own blend :

It depends on the site the duoderm is applied..If its a coccyx abrasion...They seem to wrinkle and make the abrasion worse... Sometimes ending up with a stage 1 or 2 wound.....

We had a patient who had a necrotic scotum...The Dr. was at his wits end about how to heal it up....He told us do what you want and try anything.....We started applying vasaline guaze to the area with abd pads in the groin areas and around the scrotal area.....The necrotic scrotal area turn to mush which we debrided.......we continued with the vasaline guaze until it totally healed......It took about 3 months of daily PRN changes to the dressing.but it was effective.......
