    I Hate People (my rant)

    ixchel replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I want to get what you're saying, but it is never and will never be appropriate to tell someone to never have kids over a difference in personality. Some of the other stuff was nasty, too, but that's...

    ixchel replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I know this is a really tiny and insignificant thing to feel annoyed by, but OP, you are a student. The patient is the ultimate responsibility of the nurse, not you. You can't be accused of...

    Your worst nightmare

    ixchel replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Your worst nightmare

    ixchel replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    And again, I reiterate, angina does not need to remain constant in a cardiac event. Nitro, in my opinion, is indicated here. It is not treating the pain, so whether the pain is still present at that...
