I have just seen an advertisement for a new birth control pill, that promises only 4 periods a year (break through bleeding occurs also). But how can this really be healthy? It just doesn't sound logical to me & surely it must do something foul...

something similar happened to me. I applied, had an interview and a tour of the unit I would be working on. I was not impressed and told human resources that I would not be joining the hospital staff. A couple of years passed by and I heard the ho...

I am with prmenrs on this one. I worked in a clinic where we had to wear rose polos with teal trim- that cost $25 each....

oooooops it dawned on me- with a wellness pill- we nurses wouldnt have work-ooooops

A HAPPY pill there are too many grumpy people out there wait- I changed my mind A WELLNESS pill- thats right....one pill & you will never become sick in any shape or form. No more health insurance, no more surgeries, no more anguish or pain. Bu...

:chuckle oh rhonda- so very, very true.........

I noticed in LTC that many elderly patients were taking upwards of 25 to 30 pills per day. No wonder they c/o being sick.....imagine all the side effects & adverse reactions. My favorite- is multiple stool softeners and laxatives. When I ask- ...

Unfortunately- I have seen many psych patients in long term care facilities that are abusive, combative & a threat to others- these patients belong in a lock down psych hospital. And on the other hand- I have seen many elderly dementia patients w...

I hear you. Like I said- I have worked all 3 shifts & now work days & eves. When I work eves and follow a certain nurse- nothing gets done- MD orders are not completed, Tx are not done, VS not charted etc............ But yet, I was able to ge...

this is more pathetic than funny- An MD ordered warm water foot soaks every four hours when awake on a patient with no foot wounds or problems, because her daughter wanted it. I was questioned as to why she did not get it at 5:00, when I was busy gi...

I have worked all 3 shifts and find 3-11 to be the hardest. It is a given that the staffing ratio is not the same as it is on daylight. In long term care facilities- evenings are more difficult because the sundowners act up- putting even more of a ...

ignorance is bliss I would have answered the doctor by saying= "So you are training your son to replace me, aayy?" :rotfl: well maybe not.....

everyone is on- colace & calcium many patients are on- potassium coumadin *blood pressure meds* *cardiac meds* *inhalers* (I live in a big tobacco state)

Lets hope with more educators- comes more nursing programs. Throughout the threads I hear of so many who are on waiting lists to get into nursing programs.

Lydia- I truly admire your strength

It is a long and emotionally painful process to help someone with an alcohol/drug addiction. I went through AA and Analon with a close family friend for almost a year, only to find out, that he had substituted alcohol for marijuana (because of a D.U...

(((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Ali- I hope all goes well & I will include you in my prayers.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: forgive me if I sound insensitive- but that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of, second only, to the pet psychic. With all the animals in the SPCA shelters waiting to be adopted, or having to be euthanized. Peop...

:balloons: happy birthday, have a truly wonderful day and thank you for all your guidance and wisdom throughout the threads

I was living in Florida- it was Halloween & we were asked to dress up at the clinic. I wore cut off overalls, braided my hair, blackened a tooth, penicilled freckles, wore a straw hat- the whole nine yards. A middle aged man came in with chest...

Proceed with caution- Stay alert & present yourself as the authoritive figure at all times- I have found teens to be very manipulative, and they have no fear of consequences. Do not put yourself in a position where you can be accused of abuse/as...

Wow- Are you working in a LTC facility or a Psych hospital? If a psych hospital- she should have more meds, to handle her anger & her detox If you are not in a psych hospital- they should have sent her their for detox & proper psych eval. Un...

:angryfire what boils my blood- is when you question why "Agnes- with a hip fx" has not been receiving pain medicaiton, and you hear, "She has dementia, she doesn't feel pain." OR "Her psych meds numb her pain." Yet--- "Bob" in the room next door ge...
