  1. The sun, it burns!!!

    pannie replied to EMSChild's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a red head, too, and burn so easily. I found Neutrogenia Ultra Sheer by accident on Catalina Island, on our way to Mexico. I applied it before leaving and thought I'd tossed it in my bag. We...

  2. Health Profession & Wacko's

    pannie replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    I'm laughing so hard! I accepted a position at a large postal facility. It was wonderful to get back to a setting with medical professionals for less money and more physical work. Maybe having...

  3. Pain Management: The 5th Vital Sign

    pannie replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic but I'd really like some opinions. I had a lap chole last week. However, I'd had an adrenal tumor removed a few years ago and had considerable scar tissue that made it difficult for the...

  4. ER-101...Route/Meds/Terms

    pannie replied to shill's topic in Emergency

    Is it at least OK to say "Glad you're back, Tough Cookie"!? We need more posts from

  5. Breastfeed or else

    pannie replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read all the posts, but have one comment for Josh. He mentioned his ex-wife. I'd much prefer to see a bottlefed baby than a child of divorce. Did you not work hard enough in your...

  6. Once a nurse, it is in you!

    pannie replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for giving this little fellow a fighting chance! I'm sad about a bald eagle sitting on a nest. http://www.infotecbusinesssystems.com/wildlife/ She had two eggs, but one is...

  7. An ethical question.

    pannie replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    It WAS a violation. And the nurse also jeopardized a criminal case against the drunk driver if a truthful testimony is given by the officer. In essence what she's potentially done is put that woman...

  8. An ethical question.

    pannie replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Jolie. In addition, by disclosing that info you jeopardize the prosecution of a legally drunk driver. It would be inadmissable in court since it's illegally obtained. The ramifications...

  9. Premium membership reservations?

    pannie replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    I understand gr8rnpjt. I thought it was paypal only. I have a paypal account but a few days ago got a notice that it had paid $350 on an e-Bay item that was being shipped to Maine! We're closely...

  10. Frustrated with SIL care

    pannie replied to dekatn's topic in General Nursing

    Clee, I agree with all your

  11. Quitting smoking

    pannie replied to tookewlandy's topic in General Nursing

    I used the Commit lozenges when everyone was sitting at the table talking after eating. It does taste minty (very much an improvement on that awful gum) and completely satisfied the craving for that...

  12. Has anyone had successful spinal surgery?

    pannie replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I understand the type of surgery she needs, a neurosurgeon will NOT do the instrumentation that she apparently needs. I believe the type of surgery she may need will be a multi-disciplinary...

  13. Questions about Dallas

    pannie replied to cammy429's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe familiar traffic is better? I dunno, it just doesn't bother me. I avoid driving in NYC/NJ. Don't particularly like LA or Austin, Tx. but do it. Most other places don't bother

  14. Has anyone had successful spinal surgery?

    pannie replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I was so apprehensive. But there was a neurosurgeon and a thoracic surgeon, too. I guess a neuro doesn't "do" all the instrumentation that was needed? The thoracic is responsible for...

  15. Questions about Dallas

    pannie replied to cammy429's topic in Texas Nursing

    It takes me 22 minutes from Rockwall (east side of Lake Ray Hubbard) to BUMC at 6:10 AM, a bit longer in the evening. You're not actually going INTO downtown when coming in from the

  16. Questions about Dallas

    pannie replied to cammy429's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't forget areas east of Dallas, either. Rockwall, Royce City, Heath, Fate are easy driving to Baylor, Medical City, Presbyterian. There's a more rural feel to this

  17. Has anyone had successful spinal surgery?

    pannie replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lori, DH is 71 and had a similar surgery the end of Nov. at Baylor in Dallas. They implanted cages, rods, plates, screws. We just returned from a 2 week vacation and he's doing remarkably well. He...

  18. Looking for a job with my degree in some hospital in Dallas..any advice please

    pannie replied to Polska's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't forget some of the specialty eye centers,

  19. I Need Some Comfort Please

    pannie replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Bless her heart, I know she's a real cutie. I'll be keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers. You *know* they'll be legions of us thinking and praying for her and for

  20. Well, here's a warning....

    pannie posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's that saying about vanity? A few weeks ago, I went to the dermatologist hoping for a chemical peel. No such luck, of course, but she did prescribe Retin A for the sun damage. I KNOW about sun...

  21. Well, here's a warning....

    pannie replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

    We're on our way to dinner and I'll pick up some Vit E oil on the way home.

  22. Well, here's a warning....

    pannie replied to pannie's topic in General Nursing

    gr8rn-that's what I meant about "not connecting the dots". The dermatologist warns you about sunlight. My girlfriend saw me and she's had the same reaction cyberkat - "that's just above your eyelid...

  23. ED: Patient and Staff Satisfaction

    pannie replied to fh15307's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for volunteering your valuable to time to work on a valuable project! I'll look forward to your

  24. Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    pannie replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I did it, too Plain Jane. Beeps for 30 minutes after calling twice. Your head is about to explode and you really, really don't care if someone gets

  25. Messing with the lab tests.

    pannie replied to Akura's topic in General Nursing

    And the result goes to the doctor not directly to you. (At least in the US) Don't you think he/she would feel perhaps you weren't the most trustworthy patient? Call the
