When people ask me that I say she is at Home Alone (Home Alone Kids Club-the name of her daycare). They look at me like I am out of my mind and I just smile and walk off.:roll

I can understand having a doctors note. For one thing it protects my license and for another; sometimes the parents don't accurately measure the dose so they really don't know how much to tell you to give the child. If the doctor has signed off on it...

I was going to say that the story is fake. I saw it on a TV show about Urban legends. By the way, most vents have a backup battery and alert someone when it is shut off.

I disagree with keeping the license at home. What if you come upon a car accident or something and need to verify that you are a nurse. Especially to prove that something you did was in your scope of practice.

That should not be the only reason to have a child. It takes a lot of patience and love to be a parent and you have to be ready. I have seen too much child abuse from parents who had children that really should not have. Also if you have to question ...

I had a T-Shirt once that said: The Nurses day: A needle in the butt, a tube down a nose, some poopy in a pan, so our day goes. Don't know what ever happened to that T-Shirt but I loved the saying. It was typical.

Recently I volunteered for the local disaster program. When I told them I was a nurse they did not ask if I was an RN of LPN. They were just glad to get a nurse. They needed people to do triage and to pass meds and they were not going to use lay peop...

I suggest the cool mist vaporizor. I work for a Head Start program and we have a lot of children with asthma. When they have an attack in the winter time I have someone take the child outside while I get the medication ready. The cool air seems to op...

I am sorry this happened to you but something to consider is if the man had a stroke why didn't you find out if there was some dimentia caused by the stroke? Did you try to use shampoo to get the food out? Also sometimes you can take an old comb and...

First of all; why didn't anybody come looking for her sooner. That was 2 hours that she was in there, surely someone would have missed her before then. Also, I don't see where this could not have been neglect. She was not on the floor working for 2 h...

I whole heartedly believe in using MS for comfort at the end of life. Both of my parents died of cancer. My dad had lung cancer and my mom had ovarian cancer. We had hospice come in and we gave them MS as often as possible. We did not wait for signs ...

Hello, I am a nurse for a Head Start Program here in OK. I just had a child broght to my office with a fever of 102.8 and he also complained of leg pain and a sore throat. He has been complaining of leg pain for the past 2 days. The teachers and ...

This child is 4 years old. The pain is mild right now. He is not limping and it is not keeping him awake. Someone suggested Kawasaki disease but I have not heard much about that. The family is taking him to primary provider. There are not recent inju...

The two I have found that are the best are New Balance and Rockport. Rockport are more expensive but they are wonderful.

When I was a teenager the doctor that did my mom's histerectomy was Dr. Rumph (pronounced Rump). :rotfl:

In the day care where I work two little girls were named Kolbie and Mykal (pronounced Michael). My ex mother-in-laws name is Hattie Demples. Belive it or not my ex husband wanted to name our daughter Hannah Demples. It is Hannah Elizabeth. I won that...

I'm sorry this happened to you. I just don't get some people. That is very childish if you ask me. I say I'll love you for it all the time; male or female. Maybe I better watch what I say. In my state when a potential employer calls a past employer a...

EWWWW! I will never touch one of those curtains again!

Are you saying you can draw blood also? Please clarify b/c if you do then that is illegal.

How can she say she is a "charge nurse" when she is not a nurse? If there is a nurse over her then that nurse is the "charge nurse"; not her!

No he didn't ask the instructor if you dig out an impaction with a spoon. (This was told to us by one of our instructors; this was 2 weeks into the year. He never lived that one down) :rotfl:

My name is Jennifer, sometimes I answer my phone "Jen's mule barn, head mule speaking. I get a lot of laughs from that one. :rotfl:

I do know what you mean. I was afraid of the needle thing at first too but now I know that I am doing it to help the patient. You can get a job as an LPN without being IV certified. Most nursing homes don't require you to be IV certified. When you wo...

Hello, I have a question. What is home based triage and how does it work. I would love to have a job I can do at home that has to do with nursing. I know this doesn't apply to the original post but I would like to know. Thanks, mtymom P.S. Can LPN's ...

Hello! I am mtymom and I am an LPN. I live in OK. In OK you have to be IV certified as an LPN to start an IV. LPN's cannot hang blood where RN's can. I worked in a nursing home as charge nurse for the 3-11 shift. Passing meds means that medications a...
