  1. Flu after Immunization????

    DutchgirlRN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, including telephones, computer keyboards, any work surface, a stapler, an IV pump, there's just no end to the list. I saw a lady last week at the store coughing into her hand as we think is...

  2. Muscle aches with the flu...

    DutchgirlRN replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I would trust the doctor that you chose to go to. I've never heard of a doctor refusing to do a test a patient requested unless he knew the insurance wouldn't cover it and in that case informs the...

  3. eGFR and iodine doses

    DutchgirlRN replied to papaRTRCT's topic in Radiology

    Anal retentive is not a bad thing when you have your patients welfare at mind. I commend you for being anal! Our protocol is if the GFR is over 60 then no contrast period without prior hydration of...

  4. Flu after Immunization????

    DutchgirlRN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the compliments on Holland. It is wonderful but I wouldn't want to live there again. Too changed, too dangerous. Dr. ENT say's there a good chance that the deafness is transient. He said...

  5. 8 Weeks of training does NOT make you a nurse!!

    DutchgirlRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Same here...My PCP has excellent MA's whom I trust. They wear distinct name tags with MA and do refer to theirselves as MA's as well as when you call to ask a question the receptionist says "I'll put...

  6. Flu after Immunization????

    DutchgirlRN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    As you have read the flu vaccine does not give you the flu. It's totally impossible as it is a killed virus unlike flu mist which is a live virus and can make you feel as though you do have the flu....

  7. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heartfelt thanks jmgrn65 for your post. I appreciate you taking the time to carefully read the question and the responses. I don't feel bashed because I know what the question was and those answers,...

  8. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I did make my choice. The doctor offered to give me the injection or the medic with 12 years experience. I choose the unlicensed medic who did an excellent job and I did tell her

  9. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will ask her next week when I go back and I will be apoligizing to her for the comment I made. I was not talking about her calling herself a nurse and I think she knew that but I want to make sure...

  10. Crazy Tampon Commercial

    DutchgirlRN replied to nightfall2099's topic in Nursing Humor

    I would bet the bank on it. The selfish company spends their money advertising to pull our heart strings and quilt us into buying their product. I think I'll change from Always to Kotex. Now, that...

    [bANANA]LPN's Rock ![/bANANA] And you are most welcome

  12. 8 Weeks of training does NOT make you a nurse!!

    DutchgirlRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    No, IMHO, the label "Nurse" does not cover a whole gamit of personnel these days. LPN's are as much a nurse and just as vaulable to the nursing team as the RN's. The word registered does not set you...

  13. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    No you're not a jerk. I asked for opinions and I didn't ask for only positive opinions. I'm a realist. I make mistakes like anybody else. Open mouth, insert foot. I don't feel in the least...

  14. What is with me?? Do I give up?

    DutchgirlRN replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is difficult no matter which way you slice it. Actually I clep'd A&P. No I'm not super smart but it was far easier for me to take it that way. I got credit for I and II with the one clep...

  15. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    DutchgirlRN replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    That was interesting, Thanks. I was thinking about getting a patch or two since I'm the only nurse on duty during my shift in medical imaging. I often get asked, even by the radiologist, about why I...

  16. more than nursing professionals wearing scrubs

    DutchgirlRN replied to wearingmanyhats's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's funny too. Why would the lady feel the need to apoligize profusely? It was an honest mistake. I've done it more than

  17. NCLEX Test

    DutchgirlRN replied to NoWaNrN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    best of luck on nclex

  18. Flu after Immunization????

    DutchgirlRN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Haunted. I got a flu shot and got the flu. I tested positive for it on the 26th and it definately was not any lighter than the real thing, next thing on Jan 2 , I get a CXR and have right upper...

  19. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's awesome, congratulations! I understand the "TiredMD". My EMT is 48 y/o and recently got out of the Navy. My dh is also a previous Navy Officer, not a doctor

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You In hindsight I

  21. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has a right to their opinion and I respect yours but I'll tell you that if my doctor didn't want me as a patient anymore because I let my feelings be known then I wouldn't want him as my...

  22. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks...that's how I feel about it. Could I have asked in a more diplomatic way? Is there any other way to ask? I wouldn't know what it would be? I didn't know the ENT office gives alot of...

  24. Has ACLS been 'dumbed down'?

    DutchgirlRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why make it harder than it has to be? The objective is to have a basic knowledge of what to do during a code. The majority of nurses who take ACLS are not allowed to give the meds independently but...

  25. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I labeled it Question? because that what it is, not a Vent! I posted it in the order in which it happened. The MA was very nice and I thanked her for being so kind and understanding my concern. I do...
