I HATE phenergan! That stuff is awful!!! The first time I was in the hosptial this year to have my galbladder out, they gave it to me the night before my surgery. I was really nauseated. The nurse in observation pushed it fast. I thought my arm was going to fall off! It was worse than the galbladder attacks! And I have really bad veins too, an IV lasts about a day in me if it doesn't get accidentally pulled out. The second time I was in they gave it to me slow with the saline bag drip and it still burned like my arm was going to fall off. Tell you one thing, I'd rather be nauseus. They put it on my chart not to give it to me.... Why bother with something that burns when you can just get happy morphine and sleep all day? I think all nursing students should have to have IVP phenergan once just to see how it feels and that'll make sure they give it nice and slow or IM!

thank you all for the replies. the first one was the one i was looking for. pretty cool, so do you like? thanks again!! :)

where does everyone get those nifty picture like avatars? it's only my second day on this forum, but those are really cool! can any one help me out?

My boyfriend's (the ER Pre-Med) was Lumpy Gerbilchunks....... I'm gonna go home and check on my poor gerbil and see if he's okay......

Gadget Chickenbrains..... wow...... sent this one on to my friends at work!

omg, that is so true! I work for an auto insurance company and it's amazing how much providers charge for the most mundane things... like $30 for a friggen jar of biofreeze!!! How about $500 for a c-collar! I've been fighting with my current PCP and Insurance Company about getting Prevacid (I have Barret's Esophagus, and it's the only thing that works). You know what their solution was to filling out 5 minutes worth of paperwork? Protonix! Sure, right, give me the medicine that makes my stomach hurt more than the heart burn!!!! LOL.... this is one of the main reasons I'm going into nursing and getting away from insurance.... at least I don't work at an HMO!!!!!
