Massrn116 Your first paragraph sums it up for me!! That too has happened to me and it is one of my biggest pet peeves!! I always say in a less than sincere way. "Oh no let me" as I reach over them to get the phone. Then I generally make some comment...

I have heard that Brown Mackie is not an accredited school. Check that out before hand if you want to go to Brown Mackie. I personally graduated from Owens and I thought the program was excellent. In terms of cost, they are cheaper than UT, or Lourde...

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear brother. I am sending hugs your way. I am also praying that you will find the strength you need to get through this difficult time. I agree with the other posters, you should take time to grieve for y...

I work on Med-Surg Oncology floor. We also get a lot of patients with SSC. They get Dilaudid PCA's and Phenergan IVPB. Of course, every patient that we see with SSC is allergic to Morphine, so they get their Dilaudid PCA's and then they are happy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I do understand what you are going through right now, my own father passed away in May of 07 and it still hurts. I am sending comforting thoughts your way. Congratulations on your decision to become a nurse! It is a l...

Two RN's check the order, and then check the chemo. Then we recalculate the dose on paper, then we use a reference book written by one of our oncologists to determine if the dose is within the safe limits to administer. We don't usually check the pum...

I had a horrible day on Saturday! I was giving a pt FFP for an INR>4. She needed to get her INR down so she could get a GFF placed because she had a clot in her right thigh. I started the FFP around 0930 and the I.V. started leaking and when salin...

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself!

You have every reason to be proud! Congratulations!

When I was a nursing assistant, I walked in to a resident's room to find her teeth were black and she had a black "chunk of something" by her head, I asked one of the other aides if they had given her anything to eat (a brownie) maybe? No of course n...

dierks bentley sings it.

I have been unfortunate to have to deal with rude patients. When they are screaming obscenities at me I will walk out, come back in a couple of minutes later, and politely remind them that I will be more than happy to do what ever it is that they nee...

I posted as well.

Joaquin Phoenix I dont know what it was, but I thought he was sooooo hot in "Walk The Line"

Hello! Have you checked out Excelsior College? Google "Excelsior College" and see if there is a website and check it out. A lot of the "book work" can be done at home at your own pace. It's a possibility if night school is not an option.

I meant Kevin Bacon like the "Ren McCormick" type.

Rodney Atkins sings that song. A couple of songs that come to mind are: Bad Medicine by Bon Jovi ...when you find your medicine you take what you can get cause if theres something better baby well they havent found it yet. Then theres the song by Ra...

When I worked in LTC as an aide, I had a resident ask me if I could see the black carriage that was outside to pick her up. She died the next day.

My Dad grabbed me by the arm one day while we were standing in his kitchen and he looked me in the eye and said, "I just want you to know that even when I am not here anymore, I will always be with you." It threw me off. I replied "I know that but yo...

Generally, when someone gets 75 questions and the computer shuts off, it is a good sign. I have never personally known anyone who has failed after only 75 questions. BUT it could happen. You can also check your BON's website, (if they have one) and s...

I once took care of this lol who's granddaughter claimed to be in nursing school, anyway, the granddaughter had the nerve to ask me why grandma wasn't on a diabetical diet.

I agree with E.J. Wells from Days of Our Lives, but who could forget Apollo Anton Ohno and Joey Fatone! They are all hotties!
