I had a few of these same type of episodes at different times in my life. I don't think however, that they were stress related. Once it was when I was about 17 years old and I felt a cold draft, I...
We use the NLN tests which still give us a 96% fail rate because of the specific drugs that are tested. The best way to come up with a fair test is to develop one yourself, do a validity and...
Here we go again guys. This RN vs non-RN hogwash. It depends upon your STATE PRACTICE ACT what is deemed an "RN" task vs a task that can be "delegated." It has NOTHING to do with 20+ years or any +...
I agree with most of the posters. It is important to maintain a professional appearance and that means being conservative! Freedom of expression is a right, but patients have a right to feel that...
Oh guys, between the laughing and the gagging I think this is the best I've seen yet. Having been a respiratory therapist you would think secretions are a breeze for me--well they are so long as they...
How low is too low a 'crit? How does it affect the patient. I had a C-section with my last child. My hgb droped to 6 and 'crit was 20! If my doctor "rushed" to give me a transfusion when all I was...

I HAD to see this post just for the laughs! I think perhaps I know this neurosurgeon! Or at least there's one like him in my neck of the woods. It MUST be a joke because if he's serious then he must...
Does anyone know of any websites with help for the PALS? I know about the ACLS sites, acls.net and randylarson.com/acls. Is there anything similar for peds? Thank you for your
That's my conclusion too. I am not a radical but the good old fashioned "WWJD" movement gives food for thought. Love one another as you would love yourself. Leads to treat one another as you would...
