  1. to work, or not to work.

    Good morning. If this is a chronic problem then your PCP is obviously aware? Could you get a note from your PCP regarding this as a chronic problem with flare ups without actually being seen?
  2. Eleven pound baby!

    Have you ever cared for these very overweight folks? Considering that we frequently wondered how the OR managed to get a Foley in some of these folks, it only makes sense to wonder how they could manage to insert some other things in the same regi...
  3. Code Blue in the ICU

    I don't know what your personal experiences are, but would ask you to be careful not to judge too harshly unless you have been in the family's shoes. I have. When my mother had her first cardiac arrest, I witnessed, did CPR, she recovered. Years ...
  4. Help with insulin question!! Please!

    I am seeking the answer to an almost identical question. I too first thought 60 units of Humulin R ..... whoa! But then, got to reading into it, thinking about it ..... what about an order for giving Humulin R QAM ... I've generally seen it used a...
  5. Interviewing for ER position

    Hello! I'm an RN with a year of med-surg experience, no ER experience. I'm interviewing for ER and am desperate for suggestions/comments. I unfortunately am a terrible interviewer. I am not good at smooth talking, and don't have a particularly nic...
  6. Stethoscopes

    I agree. I swear I can hear better with the disposable isolation stethoscopes on the floor than with my Littman Cardiolgy II SE stethoscope. I'll admit this confounds me. My Littman is probably at least 5-8 years old and lays on my van floor much ...
  7. Interviewing for ER position

    Thank you all for your wonderful responses. I will be trying to get on later today (Monday) to take you up on the practice interview in chat.
  8. ER Dept Scrub Color

    Do you like that? Sounds like a good idea.
  9. I saw something new and scary

    Gulp 'er down warm huh? lol
  10. I got in !

    Congratulations! You're on your way!
  11. NO Lunch-- Ever?!!

    This is what I was going to say.......I think it is against the law. Check the laws in your state on breaks, educate yourself. Maybe a threat of a labor suit would open her or docs eyes. You may even be able to get assistance from the Equal Employ...
  12. Interesting idea! Is this done any place?
  13. * Onsite chiropractic care and/or massage services for staff at no or low cost. * Floor plan that is thoughtful and kind to staff. * When staffing numbers are borderline, consistently staff to the positive, not the negative.
  14. 4/22/05 Show 20/20 H2O myth

    No way I can drink that much water. I actually go days without drinking water. Although, most days I have to take a Claritin or Tylenol or something. Every so often I will have some water like last night at work and it really hits the spot. But no...
  15. Air in line in Plum Pumps

    Oh, no.....I liked it the way it was! I think I will try to go back to bed now. Got woke up by phone call. :-/
  16. Air in line in Plum Pumps

    I too wonder "where is what I know" every day!!! Where is what you know?! Sorry, couldn't resist. Hee, hee! :) (Maybe I need to go back to bed.)
  17. Amy, I'm sorry this has happened. I don't have any input as to how common this is after V. I never really planned any of my kids. Some I was just plain careless and got pg. With my 4th, I was really trying not to get pg. After 3rd, I felt like th...
  18. Could you have a frank discussion with these 2 pts. themselves to explore how they express their relationship to each other? From your description they are true, half sisters, as well as "co-wives".
  19. Differences between RN, CNA, LPN, etc.

    Oooh.....crabby! If you will check, the OP is from Portugal. She obviously is unfamiliar with our terminology and posted a valid and appropriate question.
  20. 1950s nursing

    This must be what you are talking about. My husband also thinks buckles were used? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4067&item=6167982814&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
  21. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Maybe the ME golfs with Judge Greer, or Felos, or even Michael! I will remain suspicious if the autopsy conforms perfectly to Michael's crappola.
  22. Vaccines and autoimmune disorders

    I have not been vaccinated and I don't have my kids vaccinated! As an adult I did get the Rubella, Hep, and flu shot once or twice in nursing school. Won't get flu shot anymore now that I am better educated on the risks. I get a kick out of ppl th...
  23. can anyone answer me

    How about a scheduled chat time. Like this Saturday, April 2, 2005, at 9:00pm eastern? Anyone interested?
  24. Hospitals in the UP/northern lower MI?

    So, I see it is approaching a year and a half since your original post. Are you preparing a move? Just curious. :) I found this thread doing a search for Mackinac. I was wondering if there were nursing jobs on Mackinac Island. Like at the Grand...
  25. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    The thread icon on the forum has a little ziggy arrow to indicate if you've responded to that thread. I agree with your post regarding timing of removal. It is wrong. They are killing an apparently robust, brain damaged woman. From what the media i...
