    Wood Alcohol Poisoning: An Era Gone By

    RNsRWe replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a kid, there was a little ditty-rhyme we used to sing that had the phrase "wood alcohol" in it and I had no clue what it was. Somehow never occured to me to ask! Now I know, thanks

    Comfortable shoes?

    RNsRWe replied to Chickie77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You might want to look into different kinds of inserts. They are replaceable and less expensive than changing an entire shoe. Also might want to check around where you work and make sure you CAN...

    RNsRWe replied to Chickie77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This question comes up all the time, along with "which is the best stethoscope?" threads. The answer is whatever is the most comfy on YOUR feet. Some people swear by Danskos, other declare them the...

    Stethoscope Bling?

    RNsRWe replied to chorses4evr's topic in General Students

    I'll admit I had no clue what a stethoscope "charm" was, so I followed the link someone put up to CharMED. Learn something new every day! FWIW, I do think they are cute. I wouldn't think that the...

    So Sick Of This Nurses Eat The Young Crap

    RNsRWe replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding the 911 call, it brought from my memory banks a little ol' patient (completely and utterly demented) who would call 911 from time to time; he was a longer-stay patient on our med-surg,...

    So Sick Of This Nurses Eat The Young Crap

    RNsRWe replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, "joe" is totally on the mark: older nurses DO defecate all over people, as a means to demonstrate the power they have....apparently, to defecate on people. I have found throughout my career...

    RNsRWe replied to dmavs360's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can stop doing the PVT, you aren't going to do anything at this point other than risk the registration software actually TAKING the money you keep offering to give it. Please stop. California is...

    Excellent point. Can't you just see something cropping up later that requires treatment (and is worse because it was missed at the time of the accident)? And then what, the insurance company is...

    If you did the PVT at least 24 hours AFTER you completed your exam, and cannot register for a new exam, in all likelihood you did pass. If you tried the PVT prior to 24 hours, the pop up means...

    RNsRWe replied to AllysonW's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I most definitely took what I'd call a NCLEX prep course, as it wasn't so much "review" as it was preparing for what kinds of questions the NCLEX would ask, in what formats, getting used to doing...
