    Morning-glory replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

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

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

    Hi CotJockey, Here's the way I see it. I'm new to psych nursing (6 months) but let me share a bit of newly acquired wisdom. Stay out of the family dynamics. Keep your boudaries clean and clear....

    Morning-glory replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. med carts/control freaks

    Morning-glory replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Rats, I just wrote a big, long, fatigue induced rant, and decided that it was probably not a good idea to post it. Just to say that there are some really wierd coping mechanisms out there and they...

    Morning-glory replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

  10. I saw something new and scary

    Morning-glory replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    That is just gross. That's why I hate it when men put their urinals on the bedside table. Too easy for them to start drinking it.

  11. Is it selfish not to get a Flu Shot?

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

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

  13. Has anyone ever taken Latin?

    Morning-glory replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Basic latin is do-able. It's when they get going in the latin lit that it becomes a challenge. It does help with the terminology. I took 5 years of the stuff. The key is to keep up with the...

  14. Change of shift funtime!

    Morning-glory replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  15. Pet Peeves

    Morning-glory replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

  18. Aleve good for fever?

    Morning-glory replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I just had to add something here. I was on the same road that you are with the chills and the meds and the "can I take this yet?" syndrome. Finally got my butt into the DR's. A blood test and CXR...

    Morning-glory replied to Antikigirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Morning-glory replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are just too funny. Fortunately for me in this case, I was brought up by my dad and I didn't start my period till I was 16. I had a cousin who was sensible enough to tell me all about...
