  1. Anyone else with sacroiliitis?

    fotografe replied to MomNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know you are on the opposite coast, but google Dr. James Rainville of New England Baptist hospital. He has a much different approach to back pain than most other doctors. He may have trained...

  2. Anyone else with sacroiliitis?

    fotografe replied to MomNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have issues with lumbar disks, so can relate to your pain. I also can not take NSAIDs due to GI issues. (DANG I miss motrin). Ask your doctor about these supplements - turmeric, bromelain,...

  3. testosterone and curly hair?

    fotografe replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    That explains the chin hairs (lucky to not have any of those!), but what about the original question -- the curly hair? Inversley, my sister with the naturally curly hair went stick straight after...

  4. testosterone and curly hair?

    fotografe replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I developed curley hair at age 37 after having my first child. It is seems hormone related, but I wonder if it is testosterone since it seems to coincide with

  5. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    fotografe replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    I agree with you here. But when you DO have the information, ie knowing your patient is Jewish/Muslim and that the drug is of porcine origin, then I think you are obligated to inform. My husband...

  6. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    fotografe replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    I am bothered by the little "heh" at the end of your post. Do you think you are pulling some clever joke over on someone by denying them information they should have? If you know the patient is...

  7. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    fotografe replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    That is what I said above about Muslims. But is you know the drug you are going to give a Muslim or a Jew is from pigs, you need to inform them and make the choice. In all honesty, I didn't know...

  8. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    fotografe replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    For Muslims, it is a problem. And for the poster above, it is unethical to not tell them the product is pork-based. My husband and I had this discussion with a group of friends. Some Muslims will...

  9. Advice to student re: clinical instructor

    fotografe posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I need advice on how my nursing class should follow up on a clinical instructor that we believe has serious issues that must be dealt with by the department. We have created a log of incidents (over...

    fotografe replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ah nuts. I procrastinated and when I finally went to register for pharm and patho at U of WY they were full. Is anyone taking these this summer and want to tell me which texts you are using and...

  12. NCAA Rules against the "Chief"

    fotografe replied to fotografe's topic in General Nursing

    I recently got the ALumni Magazine from Illinois and there was a letter to the editor that suggested the new name for the athletic teams be "Union" (since Union as in Union of states is in the state...

  13. Magnet Status And Adn Nurses ** Not Another Adn Vs Bsn Thread**

    fotografe replied to RENAISSANCE RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing in writing -- only that a friend with a BSN was recently hired (new Grad) and was told no ASNs in new grad positions. After a year of experience, that no longer applies. It does say you have...

  14. Magnet Status And Adn Nurses ** Not Another Adn Vs Bsn Thread**

    fotografe replied to RENAISSANCE RN's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with a new grad hired at Mass General. He told me only new grads with a BSN are hired for new grad positions. If you have one year experience and an ASN, they will definitely consider you....

  15. Possible move to Mass

    fotografe replied to Pam RN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Housing in the Boston area is extremely expensive. I moved here from Chicago 11 years ago and am still in sticker shock. Where you live really depends on your budget. Take a look at the real estate...

  16. ECG books-which is the best?

    fotografe replied to jhawk07's topic in General Students

    Rapid Interpretation of EKGs by Dr. Dale Dubin. It is the standard that paramedics and med students use and it is very easy to understand. It got me through my EKG exam with flying colors. You can...

  17. What do you think of using paramedics for nursing shortage

    fotografe replied to sweetpooty's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow, you obviously have issues with paramedics. That certainly enlightens me on why you said the things you

  18. What do you think of using paramedics for nursing shortage

    fotografe replied to sweetpooty's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I didn't say hand out a license to anyone. I said take their prior education and experience into account for those wishing to transition. It makes no sense to have them mark time in class while...

  19. What do you think of using paramedics for nursing shortage

    fotografe replied to sweetpooty's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think as a poster said above the prior education and experience of paramedics should be accounted for in the transition to the RN role. I have 2 paramedics with over 15 years experience in my...

  20. Bad Clinical Rotation

    fotografe posted a topic in General Students

    I am half way through my clinical rotation and am ready to just write it off as a bad experience and not expect to learn anything there. The instructor is rude to us and the patients, has ripped...

  21. Bad Clinical Rotation

    fotografe replied to fotografe's topic in General Students

    Thanks to you guys. I think the thing that bothers me most is the charting. I won't sign anything that isn't true, so I am likely to end up in a big argument with her before my 4 days end. I have...

  22. Mesothelioma

    fotografe replied to Mandy1012's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You may find some cutting edge stuff at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston , MA. There was a story recently of a very young woman (30s) who was diagnosed with mesothelioma and they did some new...

  23. Sample PIE Note

    Help! I have to do my note this semester at clinical in PIE format. I understand the concept, but I need a visual example. I can't find one anywhere on the internet and my teacher did not hand one...

  25. Online Science Courses

    fotografe replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think when I did it a couple of years ago it was more like 800. Still pricey. Try to cut your expenses by borrowing a microscope. Maybe your local high school will let you come in and use one or...
