Nurses that are brilliant but do not know the difference between contraindication and contradiction! :rotfl: [video=youtube_share;23NI4OuxB9A]

I just had to reply to this post, it is so full of emotion. For myself, i have one girl, three and a half years old. I have minimal support, but enough to get by. I chose to go to school to provide a better life for myself and for her. It is true tha...

A friend of mine knew that I had some bloodwork done. She called her friend that works at the lab and had her check her databases for my results. I am outraged and feel so personally violated. Not to mention that it is so illegal. The problem is, if ...

I will help clarify. I have one friend , or supposed friend, which is the woman that called the lab. The person in the lab is a good friend of HERS, not mine, and the one that gave out the info. I am concerned that if she could access my lab data res...

I need quick replies as I need to write a position paper on this but haven't picked a side yet. The real question is do you agree or disagree with the statement "mental health nursing require many skills and interventions that are also required by ot...

Thank you for everyone's responses. I am still very upset by this and deciding what to do. I have never heard of HIPPA, perhaps because I live in Canada. But I am sure we must have some sort of privacy law as well that regulates this. I do want to re...

My opinion is one slightly different. This cannot be a cut and dry issue and there is not enough info to go on for a proper response. Is this worker angry, perform unsafely, grumpy to pts or just staff? Some examples? If his behaviour is out of line ...

I am about to start my psych rotation at an imfamous "mental hospital" and am curious what it will be like. I am very nervous, not sure how to communicate with those with mental illness, not sure if I might say the wrong thing. Plus, what kind of car...

:) I know exactly how you feel. It is nearing the end and you wonder if this is even right for you. And the more you wonder, the more you think it is wrong. The only thing I can say is that even if you do not want to do it now, do not stop school! If...

You know, I have been thinking about this since I posted yesterday and I really hope you got him to go in!! Especially considering the extreme thirst. You don't want to take chances with someone so important to you. Keep insisting if he hasn't gone i...

Yikes! There are many possible reasons for coffee ground stools - yes, one can be a bleeding ulcer, or bleeding in the intestines, hemmorhoids, GI cancers, colitis. One must not assume that this is something that can wait. Hemmorhage is a possibility...

:) We have a cure!! Here in Alberta, Canada, one of the hospitals discovered a "cure" several years ago. It is islet cell transplants from pancreas donors. The cells are implanted and begin producing insulin, leading to a complete cessation of inject...

So sorry this has happened to you. It is true, some of us come on here just to vent for a moments time. We all get angry or upset or irrational in the moment, when the next day we are truly fine. The person that did that had absolutely no right to do...

:) I know where you are coming from, my 3 year old daughter has struggled with the same since birth. It is unfortunate but these things seem to all go together, allergies, asthma, imunnosuppressed children. Keep in mind that the prednisone has its go...

You already know that something fishy is going on with your daughter/father and their relationship. You need to do something about it, even if it is just to get to the bottom of the real issue. If your daughter refuses to talk about it that is a huge...

Spring is in the air- I think I have spring fever! The birds are out the sun is shining the air is so fresh and crisp, I am just sucking it in and loving it! I got some some beautiful lillies from the store purple and white and gold/yellow.:) Nothi...

:) :) BBQ time babay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:eek: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!!!!! Hysterectomy should be a last resort- especially at such a young age! There are many complications to having this done at so young, and it should only be used when all else fails!!!! There are many causes of cram...

The reason she is not being looked at seriously is that she can eat and drink, although it sounds as though she is having difficulty swallowing a bit. Who knows! I give up on doctors right now, I am frustrated

:eek: Sounds very similar to what my daughter has right now!!!!! She had strep but was given Erythromycin. 2 weeks later....she now has these spots/lesion type things on her mouth and tongue, red eyes (thought it was pink eye) and her face is swollen...

:uhoh21: I have been hearing a lot lately about what REALLY hits you when you graduate and how much there is that you don't know and will need to learn. Can anyone tell me their experiences with reality shock out of school and/or why it happens.........

Wow, I do know exactly how you feel to have the feeling of uncertainty. I have had blood in my urine and abd pain for over a year. It took several months to convince my doc to do further investigation......though it shouldn't have!! Then I had a blad...

I am in the last few months of school before I become an RN. Last night I found myself balling for no apparant reason and noticed it's a pattern lately. I do not know if it is burnout or what. I am almost there and yet I feel as though I have already...

I absolutely agree with you:p Some of the names you mentioned I have not even heard of yet and I am almost done!! Are you in the US- that may explain different learning. Some of the models I have learned- Nightingale, CFAM, McGill, Roy, Orem, Watson...
