Hello. I've been intrested in parish nursing for a long time. Some time ago, we were filling prescriptions for mentally ill patients that looked like it came from a catholic community center and thought thats a really great idea to be able to help a ...

I dont mean to offend anybody. I may look like a dumbo after this post but I'm just trying to learn about my pt's and how I could have handled this scenario differently. Anyways, a pt was ordered Depakote tablet and Imitrex SC for her migraine h/a's....

The pt takes Depakote at home, for some odd reason she told the PA that she has a hard time swallowing, when she's taking these big arse pills!. I guess the PA just didnt realize how large those pills are compared to Imitrex pills. I would think that...

I was kinda lost there but no I would never compalin to a family member of a US soldier about my C grade, or go into extremes asking empathy from them. lol. That was a funny thought though. You are going way out there, I was merely stating what I fel...

Geez, did we have to go down the dictionary route? This is hilarious! But I would have to commend the effort of actually looking that up and typing, all for the glory of this forum! By most student nursing population concern standards, her issues are...

wow, panhandling in the internet! ppl can be so amazingly creative.. I wonder what the $2 shipping is for?

Why do ppl keep on insisting that I was minimizing her feelings. Thats how I felt about how she said she didnt like her grade. I stated my opinion straight to the point, plain and simple. How is that minimizing? I was just trying to be honest. There ...
