***mods, if my post does not quite belong here, please move. Sorry, I just didn't know where to put this!! It's not medical advice out-right, but information on other's experience with a medicine. THANK YOU!**** Are there any other asthmatics out the...

I was asked to come intoday since so many people were out. I can't do pt care, but i was asked to come in and help out with admit paperwork, etc. I have been on medical for a while, so I agreed. The DON came into the office and shut the door a bit. I...

Hi there...I have lupus. Have had it for 10 years now. I've been in nursing for almost 15 years, and it's hard. I am actually unable to work right now d/t health issues...lupus being one of them. Cancer and intractable pain being the other. If you e...

I'm so sorry to hear about your health and about problems w/ your stepson. I know how it is to be young and have to quit nursing. Unfortunately, a few years ago at the age of 28, I developed cancer. Uterine cancer. Weird, rare, the whole shebang. Lu...

I am not sure if someone has posted this, and I'm not sure where to post this. Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong area. I thought the cruelty of this case was especially awful. I did not realize the woman actaully revived the 3 year old boy...

And everyone thinks school nurses don't "do anything useful" as I heard at my daughter's school yesterday. My kids don't have a school nurse, and my children have suffered from it a few times. Some things I can let go, but the things my kids went ...

I've done sub-acute rehab, and yes, this was always an issue. When docs or anyone else writes for "medicate 30 minutes prior to PT"...it's never done. WHY? Because we NEVER had a schedule for the patients of when they are due to go to PT/OT. It was l...

Oh my. Hats off to you, my friend. I sent you a PM.

Hi everyone... I have a friend who sent an email asking about this...and this is exactly how the person spelled it. I tried googling it...but came up empty. I know sometimes diseases have odd names, but I've never heard of this in the 14 years I've b...

yeah, i searched yahoo as well. and i first thought of guillain-barre...because my friend is saying it's a rare disease...it makes sense. she just wrote down what the doctor said and asked me about it, but i told her i've never heard of such a thing...

Hugs to you, but you're absolutely correct that it's an awesome feeling to know that you made a difference in another's life. You probably don't know me/remember me, but I remember you posting so much and I always can tell from your posts that you ar...

hi everybody~was doing some searcing here tonight because i know i have seen this discussed here before. i am trying to talk with other people who have successfully taken their FMLA leave in short pieces. i do qualify, (have asthma, lupus, and the bi...

I have been where you are, worrying about the same things. Afraid to let my kids play outside lest someone snatches them up. When a van drives slowly by them, I am scared. You are not alone. Message me if you'd like to talk about it. For me, I neede...

Are they billing for 3 co-pays??? My gosh, I would be upset too if I had to pay 3 co-pays for a month's supply of medication. I would ask the pharmacy how to prevent this. If your patient is going to be on this long term, I would ask the doctor about...

As far as Excelsior, I graduated from their program and I also have friends who graduated from their program. None of them have had any difficulty getting hired in the SE lower michigan area. I am surprised such a large city as Grand Rapids and other...

Hi there fellow nurses with disabilities!!! Wow, I am SO happy to have our own forum for us to get together and chat about how we are adjusting in our own ways. So thanks Brian for adding this forum for us!!! I was wondering if there are any nurses o...

****UPDATE****** Hi everyone...I am the lady who started this thread. Well, in the few months since I wrote it, have lost my home, my car, my everything. My two young children and I moved back with my parents in their tiny home. It's been difficult,...

I have a permanent (blue) disabled parking sticker. Some days I need a cane, some days I go inside to use the stores motorized cart. As long as my sticker is up, how do you know I am not disabled just because I am perhaps walking without an cane/walk...

You're right Emmanuel, this is 1.5 years old!! People were reported, and I quit in December, after I found out I had cancer. I have since been off work. But thanks to those who responded! The place I was referring to is now the worst facility in t...

Well it seems that it's divided,then. But I am glad I am not the only one who suffers when this new inhaler doesn't work as well. It just doesn't feel like it "does" anything. With the old inhalers, I felt almost instant relief. With these new ones, ...

wow, thanks kukukajoo...that is awesome. i will try reapplying to medicaid. i am in the process of filing for SSDI despite some saying I am too young. I am just more scared of my children being out of medical care than me. Guess that's the mom in me....

When I worked out of state, a nurse was being stalked by her psycho ex boyfriend, who shot and killed her in the hospital parking lot. After that all employees had to be escorted to their cars with security during dark hours. Employees coming in to w...

Mods...feel free to move, i'm having trouble navigating site with parents computer... Just found out my cousin, jumped off a bridge overlooking the major expressway here. As you could imagine, this forced the closure of the entire expressway for hour...
