I just read something disturbing.... silver nitrate is used to treat Steven-Johnsons Syndrome. Why? I remember working with silver nitrate in chem class and it was not fun at all. The smell, and it hurt if you spilled it on your skin. Not reall...

I find this quote a bit funny. Since when is decapitation usually a cause of death? I thought it was always a cause of death.... hmmm. I am taking Adv. 1st Aid now... and we've just finished the section on CPR, so to speak. I think I'll ask this ...

that's hillarious!! but why would the houskeeping union reps be in such a tizzy if you were caught? i mean, why would there be a fuss, if the housekeeper (which really don't see a problem with calling them maids) was away? and it needed to be don...

Helloooo. I am soon to be a nursing student. So, by perusing these boards is what you could call summer school for me. LOL. Anyhooo, I ran across the abbreviations and I had no clue what they meant. I am one of those people who learn best by ...

oops! perhaps i had them confused. but i do know, that fabrics that hold moisture instead of letting them dry are bad. in other words, a fabric that stays wet from sweat is not good and you should choose a different one.... marching band was suc...

You know, i've been reading this thread and it reminded me of my days in marching band, espcially band camp. which would be in late july and humid and hot. Wearing clothing that fits is one way to avoid the chafing. Lose clothes or extremely ti...

That just sounds so weird. you let your psych patients out? or maybe you work in rehab? either place i've never heard of this. i know that in mental health you'll always come across a character or two... but this takes the cake! i think some rev...

penumbra? More terms.. these from the oncology forum fissures fistulas BM mets "fungating cancerous lesions" -- what are they and why do they "eat through the skin" ?

hey! i'm not a nurse just yet, but god willing i will some day be one. i begin college in august and one of my majors is nursing, the other one marine science. :) to make a long story about my past short.. i'll just say i've had my share of illnes...
