    sandiLa replied to vwgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever tried Imetrex? It's for migraines and works great. It makes you feel a bit weird but I had this same problem. My headache went for 2 wks. before I saw my Dr. He gave me Imetrex and I...

    sandiLa replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    sandiLa replied to SueNYC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    sandiLa replied to marie o'brien's topic in General Nursing

  9. Need Advise, Failed Nclex-Pn twice

    sandiLa replied to sbed85's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi, I'd suggest the live review if you can afford it and if it's offered in your area. I just am the type of person that learns through lecture. They give you the booklet and go through each and...

  15. Anyone with Panic Attacks who work in a hospital?

    sandiLa posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just wondering if any of you have this problem? I do and I'm a little concerned how to handle myself at work if I do have a panic attack. I take medication for the problem and it controls it...

  18. Physical before entering LPN school?

    sandiLa replied to chachacha's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My physical was a joke. The Dr. that did it looked like he was around 18, he never touched me at all, sat at the desk and filled in the blanks. I do recommend getting the Hep B vaccinations. I'd...

  21. Prepare yourselves, the drug addict on Dr. Phil is a nurse.

    sandiLa replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing

    As I stated in my post, most people will believe everything they hear on the news, meaning it may cause them to believe all nurses are the same. Sorry you didn't understand my post. And no I'm not...

  22. LPN school rules

    sandiLa replied to chachacha's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ditto on most everything above, but our school allowed hair down as long as it wasn't touching your collar. If it did you had to put it up. And anyone with all one length bangs had to get it out of...

    sandiLa replied to Judee Smudee's topic in General Nursing
