    Lovenox Sub Q...but where!?!

    jnette replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Think "Love Handles" when administering Lovenox. The preferable site to inject, and rotate sites. I've never heard of it being administered "just anywhere as long as it's SQ." Lovenox=Lovehandles.

    Egg and Liver

    jnette replied to NPRoseMona's topic in General Nursing

    Eggs won't hurt you nor increase your cholesterol as long as you get adequate excercise! If your hubby is a couch potato on the other hand, 2 eggs daily is not such a good idea. PPl in the "old days"...

    LVN and Resumption of Care

    jnette replied to LadyT618's topic in Home Health
