So, I've suffered with this condition severely since the age of 17. I am one of those cases with very lil growth on the left ovary, but live in pain from it everyday, and those 5-7 days I spend in menstruating HELL, I'm as good as dead. Been through ...
So, my bf built a beautiful home in Hiram, and though I'd like to convince him to relocate somewhere warmer , and actually may be able to in the near future, but I DO love the state & have too much respect for his pride & joy. I currently res...

Never heard of that one before. I would imagine the Febreeze method would work, as long as a soaking in a liquid wouldn't somehow affect the texture of the lumen. Trying to think of what else might. I'll get back to you if I think of something better...

Added to the list. Now I'm confused from the things I've heard. What to really go with..... Sketchers seem to be a pretty popular choice for comfort, but when I heard about the Asis running shoes & walking on air, it really caught my attention. N...

P.S. It would be interesting to find out how so many people found the site. I'm lucky enough to have stumbled upon this YouTube advertisement. :) I had become so gung-ho about nursing, but didn't know where to take this new love...

HAPPILY addicted!! :) Actually not sure I've ever encountered a site so addicting. Thankful for this place everyday. I've never seen a board w/ professionals & aspiring professionals that was quite like it. :) Just one of the best!
Your story really touched me. So sweet, & I know how it pulls on your heartstrings. Those patients clearly adored you. They will adjust & you will adjust, & best of luck with the new position.
It just has to be quoted because it's some of the best words of advice I've ever read. Voice of experience & strength. I am sorry you are experiencing this type of behavior & environment. Learning to deal with it MOST effectively is key thr...

I love that we have nurses here from Children's & MGH. (I know there is no place like it. Gotta love Boston for being top notch in medicine. ) I cruised around one night a few weeks ago just admiring this, getting out of the car & taking all ...
See, that would work for me. Riddled with insomnia plenty of nights anyways, & then tend to crash @ a downtime during the day after those nights. You're working one of my dream jobs - ED night shifts. Congrats on the position, btw.

Important Tricyclics: I Have to Hide, the CIA is after me. Clomipramine, Imipramine, Amitriptyline. If want the next 3 worth knowing, the DND is also after me: Desipramine, Nortriptyline, Doxepin. I love Mnemonics.
I heart OR Nurses. :redpinkhe No matter how anyone may want to argue it up & down, I could never not see it as real nursing. Takes a special type at that.
One of my fav responses thus far. A lot of very good ones, from freedom of speech to one of the many underlying purposes this forum was initially created for. And some people just love to argue &/or be know-it-alls. I say drown out the ones who ...

Not a nurse, but have always owned a nursing drug book. I seem to be a Mosby's fanatic since my first Mosby's nursing drug reference guide. Now I always trust them for the best publications, and if I'm ever unsure of what to go with, I go with Mosby'...

Hey, when I replied to this I actually thought it was the other thread I was posting to on MPI, lol, my apologies. Happy I stumbled upon it, though. I was wondering how possible it would be for me to cram MYSELF into the May program before it started...
It's really wonderful how things have turned around for you both in this struggle. And I'm so sorry either one of you have had to go through such a time, but sounds like she really pulled through. That's very happy news. :redpinkhe
Sheriff says no. I would too. This image really made me laugh. I don't know why the story reminds me of the one I used to refer to as "Disco Nurse", but she had one heck of a Saturday Night Fever look goin' on, always in bell bottom scrubs & ...
I put boyfriend on MY list for sanity, but sometimes those just distract us. Thankfully, my love is 100% supportive & aware of the time & dedication I need to put in. He's all for it, but he's all for everything. lol. I mention this bc cl...
I am in love with this thread & know my compulsion to have everything perfect will drive me to get absolutely everything in it , or pretty darn close, as I'll be shopping for all supplies soon. Really. Really awesome tips!

I love Koi scrubs.... https://tampabayuniforms.com/ Grey's Anatomy scrubs, and from what I see/hear, many others can't get enough of once they've tried on a pair. My concern about scrubs is, what do you do when extra small isn't small enough in some ...
