While working in Newborn Nursery/ postpartum we had a new mom call out and ask if she could feed her newborn a grape:uhoh3:?!? I quickly went to check on the baby. Sad thing was that she worked at a day care. Ashlee

I have been offered a job in Cali. with nursesrx. Does anyone know if they are a good company? I am new to this so I am not sure. Ashlee

I am a LPN and I have 3 1/2 years of experience in Newborn Nursery, Mother/baby postpartum and med-surg. I am currently licensed in AR, which is a compact state. I want to give travel nursing a try. I know LPN jobs can be hard to find so can any one give me any tips or information. Which travel companies would you suggest? Thanks, Ashlee

Hi everyone!! I am currently a LPN in Arkansas and I am looking for a change. I have 3 1/2 years experience in Mother/baby postpartum setting and newborn nursery along with Med-surg experience.

Hi all! I forgot about this thread! Since my last post I had the EGD, it was a piece of cake:p Dr found nothing. So finally as a last resort he set me up to have my gallbladder out. I had it out on June 3rd. I ended up having to stay overnight because I had so much nausea. He did not find any stones, but he said that there was alot of scare tissue and that my gallbladder had yellow streaks in it!? Not sure about the yellow streaks but he said that the scare tissue was from chronic inflammation. So I was right!!! He said that it had been going on for a while. I was in constant pain for a little over 2 months! I felt better right after the surgery! I had a little bit of a problem with my navel incison healing up. It fianlly healed around Aug 2. 2 months after surgery. So that is the end of that chapter in my life! Stay tuned for the next chapter:p

Hi, thanks for the reply. I an not nervous about it much. The thiing is that I work with all these people. I am an LPN at our local hospital, so I know the Dr and everyone else really well. I totally trust my Dr 110%! I may tell him i want pics if he finds anything, which I dont think he will. I think it is my gallbladder, but he has MD behind his name and I dont. I was just worndering if anyone had had an EGD with less sedative and if it hurt.

I have been having possible gallbladder problems for the last 3 weeks. I had the horrible pain in my RUQ right under my ribs, nausea, diarrhea, and a low grade temp. Went to my pcp and he sent me for an ultrasound of my gallbladder, normal. So then I had a HIDA scan, normal again, but it hurt like the devil when she injected the CCK and made me have really bad nausea. So I saw a surgeon and he said that we would not pay attention to the HIDA scan results since I did have the pain and nausea. So he is doing an EGD this Fri because he wants to check out my stomach before he yanks out my GB. I have a couple of questions. I have had elevated liver enzymes twice since 3-19-05, is that part of GB or could it be something else?? I dont drink, smoke, or take alot of tylenol. Also with the EGD can I be awake for it?? I would really like to see what is going on.

We use Stadol 1-2 mg with Phenergan 12.5-25 mg. We are a small hospital so we don't use epidurals, we use intrathecals. We only use the stadol for early labor and the intrathecal when they get to 4-5 cm.

We do glucoses on all babies at birth and at 2 hours. I have seen many that never showed any signs of hypoglycemia but had a BS of 30 or so. We have standing orders that all the ped dr's have agreed upon so we don't have much of a problem with it.

Thanks for the info. My gynecologist is a great DR. I work in Labor and Delivery with him, so I trust him 110%. I have an appointment with him On March 15th. I am not trying to get pregnant, but I want children when I am married.

Thanks for the site. I have been doing research on PCOS for a while. I go back to the Dr on Tues. I got my lab results early because I work at the same hospital He started me on Provera 10 mg for 10 days last Tues. I have 1 more pill and we will see what that brings. Thanks for the info!

I have some questions. I went to the Dr on Tue. because of amenorreha for 3 years. I had been to a previous Dr which blew me off. Anyhow he did some blood work: TSH, FSH, LH, Lipids, Free Testosterone, and a CBC with complete chemistry. Every thing came back normal except for the free testosterone which was elevated. My question is what could be going on. I am not pregnant (virgin) no STD's. Any info is appreciated!
