  1. Texas Children's Hosptial

    wheeliesurfer replied to MiMiRN07's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    How many kids do you have and how many are effected by EDS 3? I have had symptoms for YEARS (as long as I can remember), and have been trying to get in to see the geneticist for over 2 years after an...

  5. How good is your food?

    The hospital that I use as my primary hospital now has REALLY GOOD food! It is a tertiary care center/teaching hospital and their dietary services has you choose your own food. They have options such...

  6. mask or flu shot?

    wheeliesurfer replied to lilangel6828's topic in Disaster Preparation

    2012 was a bad year for me health wise (I spent basically the whole of 2012 in the hospital myself for a setback related to my spinal cord injury and right before I was going to be DC'd to home in May...

  7. need help with sequenital order

    wheeliesurfer replied to kimmy2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Think in terms of clean --> dirty. You always want to start with the cleanest things first and work your way down to the dirtiest/most contaminated. With that in mind, what do you think is a...

  8. New grad looking for first job - what could make a hospital do this?

    wheeliesurfer replied to joemomma35's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That manor sounds like a LTC facility, your run of the mill nursing home. If you want to work in a rehab setting that is more like a hospital you actually want to apply to rehabilitation hospitals...

  9. Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    wheeliesurfer replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. That Odd Thought and the Shocking Truth

    wheeliesurfer replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have an interesting concept...have all nurses under a HPMP. I don't see getting up in the morning and "checking in" to be a bad thing. Maybe you don't have to "check in" per se, but if you are...

  14. Less than 2 years as nurse and back probs force change

    wheeliesurfer replied to hopeinchrist03's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    OP, I would ask your ortho/neuro (whichever you see) if they think the injury is a workers comp elig injury. Just because it didn't "happen" (I assume you are talking about the onset of the pain) at...

  15. why does MT. San Antonio College RN Nursing wait list?

    wheeliesurfer replied to steven626's topic in California Nursing

    It might be bc RCC has two campuses they have the RN program through (Riverside and Moreno Valley) as well as the fact that they have a new (within the last year?) nursing/science building with labs...
