    It doesn't say at what week she delivered her 2 living children. If they were both over 37 weeks, then term would be 2. The P is for parity, not preterm. Miscarriages count for parity if they...

  2. Yikes! Flu Shot!

    aeris99 replied to ThespinaDiaz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'll have to ask my instructor why she wants us to expel the air. Like I said, I could find no data to support doing so. Looking at my arm today, maybe the reason the injection was more painful was...

  3. Yikes! Flu Shot!

    aeris99 replied to ThespinaDiaz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    aeris99 replied to ThespinaDiaz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  10. Stephen King Readers Thread

    aeris99 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    aeris99 replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

  16. Preceptorship is coming up

    aeris99 posted a topic in General Students

    I wanted to bounce some ideas around before I have to decide. I'm thinking about my preceptorship and weighing the options. We have a 3 month rotation. We work the schedule of our preceptor. I don't...

    aeris99 replied to 2bNurseashleyh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  19. Weirdest/most difficult thing swallowed by a patient

    aeris99 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  20. New LPN student

    aeris99 replied to 2bNurseashleyh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First, it's "their". Second, you should consider changing your screen name. I believe it's against TOS to use the title if you don't have the license. If not, it is definitely frowned upon. Third,...

  21. fired for cancelling shifts d/t health issues?

    aeris99 replied to pookashellz's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe a note having you put on light duty until you figure out what's going on would work? Hard to know without knowing the P&P at your facility. Who else can you speak to about it if your...
