    cindyloowho replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    There are idiots in all walks of life, but the OP didn't make notion of iditos saying stupid things...she balked at people who ENTER nursing school with the desire to become an NP or CRNA. Do we laugh...

    cindyloowho replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

  8. Pulsatile Vs. Continuous Flush

  9. Labor Support Techniques

    cindyloowho replied to somedayCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Nurse pressing charges

    cindyloowho replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, press charges! Just cause you're sick doesn't mean you can assault anyone! I had a patient assault me as a student and I didn't press charges because I was naive and didn't want to make waves at...

  15. can young,healthy,athletic men have heart attacks?

    cindyloowho replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    I was educated that people are thrown into multi-phasic V tach (torsaddes) with long q-t syndrome, and that this is actually not a shockable rhythm due to the inability for synchronization. Anyone...

    cindyloowho replied to Double-Helix's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    cindyloowho replied to It'sInTheBlood's topic in General Nursing
