a while back i posted that i may have hypothyroidism...well come to find out this is secondary. my levels are all over the place indicating that my thyroid is not the primary problem. i have had my blood drawn the other day for... homocysteine level ...

I have just been newly diagnosed with this autoimmune disorder. According to my bone scan, it is in all of my joints except my elbows. I have such pain in my hands, feet and back and my shoulder blades tingle and sting. Their recommendation as o...

No implants-I was diagnosed with psoriatic/rheumatoid arthritis. I take it day by day, some I am horribly achy, others are more tolerable. Thanks for the thoughts!

Thanks TazziRN, I am starting to see it from another perspective, I am hoping to be amazed. And I will take their cues, it makes sense-thank you.

I have some peds questions. I will be doing my peds rotation there. Even if you do not work there but do peds maybe you can help. I have dreaded my peds course from the beginning and now it is here. I am terrified, terrified of seeing terminally i...

Thanks for the reply amy, I am going to try my best, who knows maybe I will come out of this thinking it was the best experience in the world and want to go into peds...need to turn this fear around a little. Thanks again I appreciate your help.

:yeahthat: :yeahthat: Power points were a life saver. We would get them before class and follow along, had areas to make notes on the sides.

May 19th 2007 here! Doing Peds in the Fall followed by OB, then the monster Med Surg 2 in the spring then I am DONE!!! I am finally starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel!! Congrats guys!

I am now eligible and waiting for the response card to take my NCLEX. How do your schools/place of employment do it? My hospital will not let an LPN work without a permit in had, but will let an RN work without it until it comes in the mail. Has anyo...

yes, actually I will only be working on the permit until graduation. I am so far 95% sure I won't take the LPN boards. My NM cleared me for the position and by the time I graduate I will be working for about 3-4 months. So it is not worth it unless...

GPN's here need permit in hand to work until boards are taken, but graduate RN's may work immediately after graduation without a permit until it comes in the mail...as long as they have sent in for it. They say that the difference is because we are f...

Happened to me. We worked in the regions cancer center. They just spent millions on the op section, we were inpatient. They started remodeling some of our rooms. Media & community were praising us blah, blah, blah. I come in to work one day, hall...

I love that! That's great. I know only a handful of those. And a few of those docs are just starting out, I hope they don't lose "that".

what happened?

:yeahthat: I am married but even before that there was no interest for me there. Whether it was the attitude some carried or the hours worked, it just wasn't a right match for me all around.

:yeahthat: Geez, I can't really offer any different advice than what is posted, but you have a lot on your plate. I wish you the best of luck, try not to let her ruin the week before your wedding! That's not the memories you want of preparing for yo...

I am a "quasi' SAHM! During school I work 4-8 hours/week. I have recently bumped up more during my summer break. My nursing classes are great, they are a more mature group- starting families, already have them, or have raised their kids and are now w...

Hi, I have a question, I am NOT asking for a dx I am just looking for some input. My 3 year old about 2 months ago all of a sudden couldn't walk on his r leg, he said his foot hurt. Dr looked at him said he thought he was OK just to watch him, if he...

I was under the wrong impression. This is a full system where they know that child is there immediately. This is great. This, yes is lifesaving and a God send. :redpinkhe This I do agree with and believe it should be more available in other stat...

Adoption, yes. Abandonment NO! I don't care how "safe" they "think" the child is left. Now this child can't be adopted until she is a toddler...what a shame. Poor baby.

Well, if it's any help, it took me 12 years to realize nursing is where I needed to be. I sat and watched the drama's unfold and always thought to myself as well, "nope, not for me." Then I came to the realization, I don't have to be like the others...

If I had to generalize, I would compare healthcare to any other profession. I say healthcare because I have worked in a hospital setting for 12 years, you see it all the way around from Md's, resident's, administration, na's, lpn's, rn's, housekeepin...

I have never had to take vitals as a unit secretary.
