hi all. I totally understand his anger and know it is normal. this isn't the place or time though to be doing what he is doing. plus, he hasn't been a model husband or father anyway. I have never really cared for him or how he treats my sister or the...

thanks again everyone. my sister is doing much better. she has been on med/surg floor since yesterday and will be transferred to psych hospital either later today or tomorrow. she wants help and wants to live. she apparently hadn't been taking her me...

hi all. my sister is doing much better. she is going to med/surg floor today and I think she might be out of the hospital and into the psychiatric hospital by the next day. she is doing good and now comes the harder part, healing herself emotionally....

well, I talked to my BIL and he says that she is doing better today. her liver enzymes are going down and they are talking about transferring her to a med/surg floor and from there she will go to the inpatient psych clinic there for a mandatory 72 ho...

rjflyn, thanks for the info. I don't think she is in the best hospital in her area, but my BIL feels comfortable there I think. it was the closest hospital to their house. one of the nurses did mention that if she needed a transplant she wo...

I spoke to her nurse again this morning and they said she had a rough night last night and that she is sleeping right now. She had nausea and vomiting all night. Her LFTs were all up this morning, but the GI doctor told them that that is expected for...

From what I have read, everyone is different. Maybe she had a healthy liver and since it was so many days past, they probably could have seen how her liver was reacting and maybe that is why they let her go. I imagine they started the NAC before they...

Thanks again everyone. My sister is doing better today. GI doc saw her and was more optimistic than her doctor there at the hospital. He told her there is approx an 80% chance she will recover with a functioning liver and 20% that she will need a ...

nruse karen and prickly pear, thanks for the encouragement and the support. those articles were very informative and encouraging. maybe they are just trying to prepare them for the worst and we should really still just be calm and wait to give the ...

well, her doctors told her today that she might need a liver transplant. the nurse told me that they have to check her liver enzymes tomorrow again and that they just don't know. they have ordered a GI consult and she mentioned the possibility of h...

anyone know how long you have to get a liver transplant when your liver is going bad?

hello everyone. i spoke with her for a minute this morning and she is going to call me back later. it was nice to hear her voice. not sure if i will be going to see her yet, waiting to talk to her again shortly. they do NOT seem lenient with ICU...

Hi everyone. It looks like she took 30 extra strength tylenol pms (15 gms) at 5pm and didn't get the mucomyst started until 2am that night. I spoke with her ICU nurse today and she told me that she isn't doing as well as she should be. Apparentl...

Thank you everyone for sharing your expertise. my sister is getting the mucomyst nasally still and since they don't know how many she took or what time she took them, they can't really say what is going on (she won't tell them, is upset that they sto...

thanks. she is in the ICU now and will be there for 2-3 days. i guess they will be running more tests in a few hours and will have more info then. she will be transferred to a psychiatric hospital after she is released from the hospital for mandat...

LOL! sooo true. i hate the whole, it's a dry heat thing. yes, it is dry, but it is very HOT. i compare it to breathing into a hair dryer or oven. yuck. and the traffic here sucks!! on topic though. i started out at $20.23 with 15% for night di...

i think rents are probably pretty reasonable, especially with so many investors buying up property and then renting it. here is a search of phoenix and most all the surrounding cities, rentals in your budget or so. http://www.realtor.com/FindHome/Ho...

hi! if you love the sun, you will love phoenix/the valley of the sun. i hate it here. we don't see the 4 seasons, and i am miserable for 5-6 months each year because i hate the heat. that said. phoenix metro area isn't bad if you like a big, spra...

well, i was a new grad with no CNA or LPN experience and got a job as an RN part-time. this was in 9/2004, so i say the job market is really good. i would call and speak to nurse recruiters at the various hospitals and go to job fairs if you can. ...

just wanted to add that i work for Banner and love it. have you talked to their recruiters?

i did some rotations at PBH as a student. i really thought their ICUs weren't that bad. i would never work med/surg there, but i had a great experience in ICU and CVICU. good luck to you! so hard to decide where to work. any way you can shadow a...
