    anyone noticing a massive increase in angiedema in patients on lisinopril?

    SHGR replied to Sirapples's topic in Patient Medications

    Seen angioedema outpatient a couple times. Looked more scary than it turned out to be. Treated outpatient, stopped the ACEI and it resolved. It is pretty much a standard of care for those with T2DM...

    These just seems so gross to me

    SHGR replied to horrorxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You know how you don't get sick when you go camping, but there must be a ton of germs out there? All those "outdoor" germs cancel each other out in the woods. It works the same way with bedpans in...

    Ethical Question...

    SHGR replied to rthornton07's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Who knows. Maybe she takes the bus to his house. Maybe this man does not even exist. I don't know of such a program through Medicaid that pays for 11 hours of daily private duty care for one elderly...

    Wait listed for FNP program but offered admission to CNS program

    SHGR replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    The two programs may require many of the same classes. The 3 P's would be the same, and probably at least a few others. You could take the classes that overlap first, and then see if a spot in the...

    Plagerizing yourself?

    SHGR replied to Juniper248's topic in General Students

    Surely, your writing skills and knowledge base will be better and broader now than at any time in the past. However, research is research...if you already did it, you know some of what is out

    HIPAA and non-consulting docs

    SHGR replied to NothingConstant's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Way before HIPAA, we were instructed fiercely to never discuss a case or a patient in public, as you never know who might be listening. With the details of a case- even without the PHI- could be...

    Went to work in whites today!

    SHGR posted a topic in General Nursing

    That's right, I wore the whole shebang today. White dress. White hose. White duty shoes. My manager made me a paper hat! What a great day. Patients and staff loved it. My manager gave me the...

    Went to work in whites today!

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of the stranger responses (now that the buzz has worn off) One doc (older guy) chuckled and he said he thought it was great, I think he meant in a "servant class" sense. Another doc, female,...

    This made me mad when I saw it.

    SHGR replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    You have got to be kidding. No need to send them a nastygram...they can just wonder why no qualified people apply. The only applicants will be those that nobody really wants to be "educating" any...

    Ad for an MA program

    SHGR replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally, I think the elephant in the room is, why were MA programs created in the first place? I understand that they are trained to do the work involved in an outpatient medical practice. But...

    What does Florence Nightingale mean to you?

    SHGR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Florence Nightingale was a feminist, a pioneer of statistics, a class-buster. She was unafraid to work in the trenches despite the work being beneath her family's station. She was fearless and...

    Went to work in whites today!

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    I do like navy/navy and white for nurses. They still sell the white dresses here but I don't know of any local organizations that still have nurses wear them. Wouldn't want to do it every day...

    Went to work in whites today!

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, everybody loved it! The other RNs were kind of jealous. We had talked about doing it for the week a couple weeks ago, and everyone said they would... ha ha! But people kept saying, "you look...

    Ad for an MA program

    SHGR replied to psu_213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I guess I don't get why anyone would spend two years and close to $20k on an MA degree when you could get an ADN and wear the same cute scrubs. Because we all wear

    Nurses Week/Hospital Week

    SHGR replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the point of "getting free stuff." It's just nice to feel appreciated, in a more directed way, I guess. Where I work if anything "difficult" comes up, like if forms get lost (often), a...

    Overwhelmed

    SHGR replied to butterfly_kisses9188's topic in General Nursing

    If it helps, even my family members who are nurses or other public servants (and have since left those backbreaking jobs) seem to have forgotten what it was like to work in the trenches, have to sleep...

    HELP!! I had a stalker and because of HIPAA I lost my RN

    SHGR replied to rssawyer's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is why employers have policies like not telling callers whether so-and-so works there. We even instituted a policy of always asking staff members if they want to talk to their spouses when they...

    Nurses Week/Hospital Week

    SHGR replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    We got nothing. Not even a thank you from the hospital. Not a thank you from the manager. Not even an acknowledgement that it was a week of any kind. Seriously, I know budgets are in a crunch, but...

    What type of material is covered in NP school?

    SHGR replied to Kadambari's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    My pathophys class has involved some chemistry and a lot of physics. I love it. Also had to research and write a 28-page paper for nursing theory
