  2. Injuries r/t toning sneakers

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    HA! They are really finding anything to sue about these

  3. trying to buy a stethescope

    BrazoriaLVN replied to Jill RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Allheart is great, but their shipping is awful. Every order I have had has been late, or backordered without notifying me. It's really a shame because they have good quality merchandise at reasonable...

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BROWNEYEDNURSE13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry, but we really can't answer your homework questions. What do YOU think? There are many good articles in the nursing news section you could

  5. Older PCA/CNA

    BrazoriaLVN replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    I find that older CNA's are the ones that do a better job. I don't have to worry about the residents being changed and re positioned right. They always put A+D, do oral care, and position them just...

    I love the "got milk"

  7. Nursing doesnt define you

    BrazoriaLVN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just started work at a LTC as an LVN. I was a CNA there for a long while. Even though LTC has its bad parts, I find it intensely satisfying. But I LOOOVE my days off! I cherish my time I can spend...

  8. Hepatitis B Vaccine Safe?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to gkvegan's topic in General Nursing

    My father had Hep B. He later developed liver cancer. I remember the few days before his death. You would be amazed by the amount of blood that came from what seemed like every orifice. Just because...

  9. What is a Women's Health Unit?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OBGYN...I've never heard of (what seems like to me) a strictly-woman medsurg

    BrazoriaLVN replied to Btj78's topic in General Nursing

    You're mentally and financially happy? Stay that

  11. What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to plethoraldork's topic in General Nursing

    If you look at the OP's prior posts, you will see an interesting history of asking the same kind of

  12. What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to plethoraldork's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I really don't feel like "dealing with it." How are the people that do this going to function as nurses? "I'm not sure if I can give this med. What do you think?" Nevermind going to the drug...

  13. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    BrazoriaLVN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know a hospital that has all that...but it is only availible to pretty DNP's with an IQ >180. Obviously, I am working

  14. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    BrazoriaLVN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question that can easily be found on Google. Could you answer it for me? In three paragraphs, with an introduction and conclusion? In double-spaced 12 point font? I also need it to be at...

  15. What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to plethoraldork's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness gracious.

  16. Dehydration and PEG tubes

    BrazoriaLVN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was told that there is no excuse for someone with a PEG tube to be dehydrated. Most of our residents have q 2-3 hr 200 cc flushes, but I wonder when EVERY tube is clogged, with old coagulated...

  17. Choking Patient

    BrazoriaLVN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I was told to lower the head of the bed and do abdominal thrusts? I've never had to do it either. And sorry but "dindin" made me

  18. Dehydration and PEG tubes

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have pumps that automatically flush(those would be heaven!) And I'm pretty sure they flush with feedings, but the majority of people have for example a 2300 feeding then just flushes at...

  19. Certified Nurses

    BrazoriaLVN replied to JSBoston's topic in General Nursing

    Certified?

  20. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    BrazoriaLVN replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Of course the day you wear it will be the day a GIANT code brown happens...but when you spend that much for a top it's pretty much guaranteed to

  21. Ridiculous V/S...are you out of your mind?

    BrazoriaLVN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a CNA hand me the vitals and tell me a BP was low. She had 60/70 written down. She also admitted she does not know how to or want to use a manual

  22. Ridiculous V/S...are you out of your mind?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Probably still give you a blank look....I believe this quote now more than ever.."you can't fix

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Ignorance....sad! Some people just don't know and don't want to
