    Alzheimer's: Terminal DX?

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I wanted to add this as I got distracted: My MIL says that she is not talking anymore. She has been saying this for a few months. However, when my dh and I picked her up from her nursing home for...

    "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    BabyRN2Be replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow Marie! You started this thread in October and since then who would have thought you'd get over 360 replies! Obviously, you have really touched a nerve and those who go want to go into nursing need...

    BabyRN2Be replied to jeepgirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi Jeepgirl, I'm not an RN yet, but I'm a doula with 8 years experience. I've had many of my clients say that they've had some great results with ginger root. I've used it for myself and sometimes...

    The hardest shift of my nursing life (young as it is)

    BabyRN2Be replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will be praying for Reagan. Reagan sounds like a fighter and we'll be hopeful for a wonderful outcome. Rae, you did a wonderful job. I know that you had some doubts on taking her as a patient once...

    Yogert

    BabyRN2Be replied to sunshine 123's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to add, haven't heard of it as far as washing your hands with it for a MRSA infection. That's a new one to me. I've worked on SNF floors before and dealt with a lot of MRSA, VRE, etc. Never...

    Yogert

    BabyRN2Be replied to sunshine 123's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard this for treating yeast infections. You can get empty capsules, and place PLAIN yogury into the capsules and place into the lady parts. I've heard this many times and has worked for many...

    A little discouraged

    BabyRN2Be replied to Altalorraine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some people could call it assault. I'm not sure on the legal definitions. If you get a chance, read up on the legal definitions and for future reference, they could come in handy if this happens...

    I Did It---I QUIT!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck Marla! I wish you the best of luck in anything you do, and it sounds like you did the right thing for you! Knowing when to go is very wise. I hope you do well in whatever you do.

    BabyRN2Be replied to mbrester's topic in General Nursing

    I've accompanied many dads while they did a c-section on their wives. I was standing behind them while they sat at their SO's head. Some try to watch the surgery, but I tell them nicely I don't...

    Where can I purchase a microchip for Mom?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think that's the tricky part, getting her to hold it. Placing it in a pocket wouldn't work because she'd just take it out. You'd have to see her everyday to be sure that the phone was adequately...

    Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    Goodness, I'm with you... I see something growing on my husband's back and I'm after it. I can see how something can get so big w/o noticing. She may not have wanted to bring attention to it. When my...

    NCLEX PN -- Stopped at 85 questions

    BabyRN2Be replied to Kellink's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The reason why it stopped at 85 questions is that you reached the level at which the computer could determine your level of knowledge. People will pass or fail at 85 or pass or fail at 205 (I forgot...

    What's the reason for failing the NCLEX?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't know if The Commuter pointed this out, but schools have different standards for their grading system. A "B" might be an "A" at another school and vice versa. Some schools get tunnel vision and...

    NCLEX pass rates for your school?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Robin61970's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Earlier this year I received some information from my state board of nursing (who doesn't have anything to gain from a given school's NCLEX scores). It showed just the NUMBER of those taking the NCLEX...

    Was I wrong to refuse to help?

    BabyRN2Be replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that you did anything wrong. I believe you in that if you saw any problems with the strip that you would have said something. I believe that this nurse does not know what she's doing....

    My doctor knows my wishes and it's also on my driver's license that I'm a potential organ donor. Not that my family is happy with

    I've been in your spot before, rnmom... and this is before the nursing level! I don't want to get your down, but this is really a tough situation. I think that you should cut your losses and try to...

    ER the most physically demanding?

    BabyRN2Be replied to dm22's topic in Emergency

    I think that each department has aspects which make it more physically/emotionally demanding when comparing it to other areas of nursing. I think that one needs to compare and contrast different areas...

    Where can I purchase a microchip for Mom?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes Blackcat, That's the problem. The microchip does not work like a GPS, it has to be scanned to retrieve information. It sounds like you need a GPS sort of tracking unit for your mom instead of a...

    Where can I purchase a microchip for Mom?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey Blackcat - long time no hear from! :) Forgive my ignorance, but are they approved for use by the FDA for people with Alzheimer's? I've never heard of this before, but this may not mean much. Sorry...
