I was just wondering if anyone has had, I am quite sure they have had any dealings with Autonomic Dysreflexia, I have just started in rehab nursing and have only had 1 case of it thank God. Any help would be appreciated. I had never had any dealing...

I have endometriosis and the OB stated that evidentally the Prednisone being a steroid acted like the Lupron. I dunno that's just what he said. No I have had numerous u/s and there is just one child.

I have a question. I was always taught in nursing school that your abdomen measurements coorelated with how many weeks you were pregnant. Well, I am now 30 weeks and at 27 weeks I measured 32 and I just am wondering. Also, I have not gained any we...

Congrats on your pregnancy!!! So you are having a girl also? I am due on December 5 made it to 30 weeks! This one is so unexpected! I have alopecia and my dermatologist put me on Prednisone back in February and April I found out I was pregnant! ...

Hello, I am freaking out! My OB doc says not to worry but still. I am pregnant after 9 years that they told me I wouldn't be able to have another child and I feel like this child is going to be a miracle and then I get exposed to TB! I work in a c...

Thanks guys!!!!!!!

OK, I am 16 weeks and I pulled my packet out that my OB doc gave me and it says Chloratrimeton. It doesn't say anything about Sudafed or Robitussin but it seems like with my last child I was allowed to take one or the other. Hope this helps a littl...

I am not very knowledgable when it comes to understanding EKG strips but I hope someone can help. I was listening to my scanner at home today and I heard one of the EMS squads en route to the hospital with a man that had been at a MD's office and sa...

I have been watched, I know here in KY they can only watch you give like 20 pills. I dunno why that is a rule but it is. The last one that went with me was really nice also, she watched me only give 2 people and then she asked me to let her know wh...

When I was reading your post I felt like it was me that was writing it. Myself and this other nurse have always been close. You might say that we have been the black sheep of the unit. If anyone remembers some of my posts about the nurse that empt...

Something they keep forgetting, nurses make doctors look good!

Ok, I have a question to pose to everyone and would like to see if anyone has any information that could help us out. There is a BIG dilemma (? spelling) at work about this. We have an oxygen tank that is about knee high that is in a carrier/roller...

Thanks for everyone's help on this subject. I like the part about the tricky people, you must know where I work! :rotfl:

Well, the policy and procedures idea is a joke. Our policy/procedures have not been updated since 1973 no joke. Just about everything in there doesn't even exist anymore. Our new RN is working on this though. We set the tank to the side of the me...

OK, I'll get ready for the backlash LOL. But anyway, I don't feel like unions have a place in healthcare because if you go out on strike the only people you are hurting are your patient's. If you work in a factory or such then if you go out on stri...

I have made copies of the narc sign off sheet, believe me it has come in handy. Don't even get me started!:angryfire

nurseangel78 I am glad to see that someone else other than yourself has got some sense. Congratulations on getting it all worked out. We all (the allnurses.com clan) knew you were in the right though. Honey, we got your back!:)

Our DON worked the floor whenever necessary also, she was really helpful. She didn't schedule herself to work the floor but there were many times she came in to work the floor. She was one of a kind.

I agree with you alicia18. Explain to the family exactly what CPR entails and then let them make the decision. I don't believe that families need to think it will always work because we all know that it doesn't but you need to at least try if that is...

Don't fret over it. She signed the count was correct, it's here baby so to speak!

CPR after rigor? That's just nuts! The facility where I worked for about 5 years allowed LPN's pronounce death. I have done numerous. At our facility nursing would set the families down upon admission and explain to them EXACTLY what a "full cod...

Oh my gosh, 11-12 days? The way we always did it was like this. Our CNA's were the ones that did the showers. Our shifts were 6-2, 2-10, 10-6. Our dayshift were the ones that did the showers. We've got 3 hallways, East, South, North. North was showe...

Good luck to you and your facility. I always hated the site of them. :angryfire Whenever I was in LTC and it was time for our survey everyone kept their eyes peeled for the white van with the decal on the door. It's amazing whenever it got within 20 ...

:)sorry

How nice it is to be an American and not have to go through all this stuff. You all totally lost me. :)
