  1. Question about Hoyer Lift and Patient With Severe Muscle Atrophy

    Morning-glory replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    Good about the job. I'm glad that you are on to a better

  2. Need advice

    Morning-glory replied to twh2006's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me, from what you are saying, that it is a bit strange that they would fire someone over that. Lice treatments are not going to harm anyone first of all, and second, the CNA has changed the...

  3. Flu numbers going down?

    Morning-glory posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2009/07/17/health-minister-canada-swine-flu.html numbers slip interestingly, however, canada might have less of a need for the drug than first supposed as the swine flu...

  4. Flu numbers going down?

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As you all may have noticed, I had a bit of an anxiety attack over this issue this morning. I still think that the sidewalk is no place to be if you are mentally ill. I'm sure some of them would...

  5. Flu numbers going down?

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It just chaps my saddle when these people start disseminating this garbage. What are they trying to do? What are they not telling us? Yes, they are getting organized with ventilators, but how about...

  6. Mad and confused!

    Morning-glory replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

  7. Got terminated from first job cant find new one, still a newgrad

    Morning-glory replied to newRNurse08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lynette, I have been a nurse for 10 years. I got fired/quit a couple of times. Some of it was a personality clash, and some because I just couldn't cope. Sometimes, it's the hospital, sometimes it...

  8. White House to Hold Flu Summit Next Week

    Morning-glory replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Amazingly well presented. Thanks for posting it,

  9. Is this Normal? Need some perspective!

    Morning-glory replied to Cavendish's topic in General Nursing

    From what I can gather here, it sounds like they are abusing you. They want you to work as an RN without a license, pay you dirt and if anything happens you will be left out to dry. My suggestion...

  11. Flu control leads to plague

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In the past, I have trolled through the WHO site looking at the info on outbreaks of the plague and other wierd diseases, but I haven't in the past couple of years. It is just so bizzare that all of...

  12. No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

    Morning-glory replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks. Makes sense that because it was around as late as 1977, that us older folks would have had some exposure to it, therefore some

  13. Flu control leads to plague

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The rest of the above thread talks about rat, mouse, and snake infestations. Shiver me timbers!!! Along with H5N1 (avian) and H1N1 (swine) influenzas. What a mess. The pneumonic form of the plague...

  14. Flu control leads to plague

    Morning-glory replied to Morning-glory's topic in Disaster Preparation

    How freaky is that? Talk about out of the fire and into the frying pan? I am in the process of reading this thread. I'm not done yet, but holy

  15. And while we're at it-things you'd LOVE to ask/tell management and get away with

    Morning-glory replied to HelenofOz's topic in General Nursing

    How about "do it yourself!!"? In my LTC days, I was asked to do all kinds of things that were not my job, not quite my job or actually management's job. "For Pete's sake I'm busy, leave me

  16. No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

    Morning-glory replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Indigo Girl, You have put a lot of work into this thread. One of the questions that I have is when was the last time a H1N1 virus was doing its rounds? I'm curious because some of the articles...

  17. Question about Hoyer Lift and Patient With Severe Muscle Atrophy

    Morning-glory replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    Just my 2 cents here, but weren't those old hoyers pulled off the market? Those things are unstable and unsafe. I have to say that ceilling lifts are the best thing since sliced bread. I like the...

  18. Mad and confused!

    Morning-glory replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, squeezing people into corners is never a good idea!! Been there, done that, want to buy a t-shirt, slightly used? Last job I was in was LTC. I went through 4 DONs in 2 years. Last one just...

  19. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Morning-glory replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if nobody tells her, she won't figure it out. You get used to your own smell and so will not know why everyone is acting wierd. I had a student with bad teeth and I was hesitant to tell him,...

  20. Experienced Nurses please need advice for a GN RN on Job Choice

    Morning-glory replied to NEWGRADNURSE75's topic in General Nursing

    If jobs are slim, working as a nurse in anyway tops getting a job doing something else. A PRN job that you only get 1 shift every 2 weeks would be better than nothing. Working in home care or in a...

  21. return to work

    Morning-glory replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Your most valuable asset is your credit rating. Don't mess that up. Be honest to them that you would like to be able to extend the time. If you try some funny stuff, they will slam you down. Be...

  22. Pregnancy Denial-- a real psychological disorder?

    Morning-glory replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A patient once had 2 uteruses and had 2 sets of ovaries. One was pregnant the other continued to cycle. She miscarried because of the wonky hormones. Not the usual state of affairs, but maybe a...

  24. Being Questioned by Paramedics? Why?

    Morning-glory replied to jayde_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I spent 6 hours one night trying to get a little old guy out to the hospital. I worked in a psych LTC. Little old guy had tried to take my head off with a wheel chair pedal. I got some help and...

  25. A couple questions about med injections

    Morning-glory replied to mnnurse29's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught that it was max 3cc in the glutte. I personally will not give more that 1 cc in the deltoid-it hurts too much. If you have more than 3cc's to give it has got to be in 2 syringes. I...
