    P_RN replied to linzz's topic in Patient Medications

    BUT, with Demerol, (meperidine, pethidine) you have that risk of the build up of the metabolite norperidine. I'd be most happy if this med fell off the edge of the earth. Seizures are not fun for...

    Nurses who were in the Field prior to 1950

    SICK OF IT ALL and getting out!!!

    P_RN replied to regnurse1995's topic in General Nursing

    I believe however that a hiatus to even a different unit for say 6 months might get you back into real nursing. There are some pieces of work out there and it's not you...it's anyone who gets in...
