    BabyRN2Be replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    Whats this mean??? Ughhh

    BabyRN2Be replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds pretty common for grading. An A is an A, so it doesn't matter of you bust your hind end and get a 100% on a test while someone barely squeaks by with a 92%... they still get the same A on the...

    What do patients say that irks you?

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is amazing, isn't it? How about the novel idea of going out and earning the money for the circ if the parent wants it done so badly? I worked at a Baptist home for unwed mothers. It literally drove...

    BabyRN2Be replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    mmutk - I really don't think that it's stupid, or should be embarrassing for someone of any age to go to the ED for chest pain. You did the right thing, obviously as there was pericarditis discovered....

    BabyRN2Be replied to DixieNurse2244's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Honestly, I really don't want to appear that I have attitude, but this thread is over 2 years old, and the OP only posted twice on AN, just on this thread. I'm sure that she's not going to update...

    Drug Seeker Stories

    BabyRN2Be replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    I can see what you are saying acutecarenp; however, I would like to add an exception to this. I rarely go the ED myself. However, when the rare instance comes up (and hasn't in nearly 4 years), I go...

    I can't remember the exact month that the original article was posted. I KNOW it was 2005 and I'm pretty sure it was late 2005, such as October or November. I'm glad that they saw the light and...
