    me1989 replied to blondy2061h's topic in Critical Care

    Endocarditis? Hx of recent tooth extraction, are we talking about Osler/Janeway nodes when we mention hyperpigmentation and induration? And I hate to judge, but she may have experimented with...

    me1989 replied to Corey Narry's topic in Critical Care

    This is really interesting. Perhaps she seized secondary to a CVA and aspirated, causing PNA and what seems to be sepsis. Looks like rhabdo too. Blood cultures, IVF, and get a dose of antibiotic in...

  7. New hospital gown design

    me1989 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's got polyester in it though. Our stinkers will stink just a little more. Polyester makes you sweat more too. Everyone will be "occasionally moist". Plus... the joy of the "mooning" episodes were...

  8. Dreaming About Work

    me1989 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I had a dream not that long ago that I fell asleep during a 12 hour day shift (I work nights), and I hadn't seen or medicated any of my patients. It was the end of the shift and time to give report,...

  9. At night, I dress up as a Nurse :)

    me1989 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Hear what? Also, "at night I dress up as a nurse" strikes me as saying night nurses aren't real nurses. Maybe I'm just letting the remarks of day shift get to me

  10. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

    me1989 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. stumped by change in g-tube

    me1989 replied to jspigle's topic in Gastroenterology

    Yeah, I've never seen that happen, and it shouldn't have. As far as I know, there's only one type of tubing that you can use with these tubes, and they're MicKey brand. If you know you're using that,...

  14. Feeling like a servant

    me1989 replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I was a nursing assistant, I had a family member suggest that we do what Quickchek does with their coffee and make it fresh every 20 minutes.

  15. First med error.

    me1989 posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I can't believe I made a med error in home care. I feel horrible. I'm a new nurse, licensed this past August, and finally found a job in January in home care. Today I made a medication error because...
