    lpnstudentin2010 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Gastroenterology

    Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    lpnstudentin2010 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I am a patient, I leave it on the over bed tray and wait for someone to come in to do vitals or some such thing and then they take it from my room. No need for them to make a special trip in just...

    lpnstudentin2010 replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

    Keep an eye on those Rx pads!

    lpnstudentin2010 replied to URO-RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That would be nice. Docs don't always put what they give you in the comp like they are supposed to. I had a script for either oxycodone, or oxycontin once my mom can't remember which (and I was too...
