  1. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Almabella replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    I don't quite understand all of the volatile responses to the OP's question. S/he clearly states that there is a time and place for the use of pharmaceuticals -- no on is denying that. Let's be...

  2. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    Almabella replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    Truthfully, the holistic approach nurses take to patient care is one reason I chose nursing school over medical school. This approach is more aligned with my personal beliefs and philosophy on...

    Almabella posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. Considering LTC

    Almabella replied to Almabella's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Two of you have mentioned "treatments." What kind of treatments are you talking about? My IV skills are rusty, but I'm sure I could jump right back on that if I had some training. Would the...

    Almabella replied to tremblelina's topic in General Nursing

    My current job is the only one I've had that compensates for being biligual ($40 a pay period). But, oh, how it saves time when you don't have to rely on an interpreter! Life is just much easier...

    Almabella replied to casperrn06's topic in General Nursing

  15. Hep C positive result

    Almabella replied to Almabella's topic in General Nursing

    Well, are you the nurse giving positive biopsy results? My guess is the MD comes and speaks with the pt regarding these matters, first of all. Second, by law, we cannot give a + HIV result over the...

    Almabella posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is this ok to do? She's the LPN I job shared with at my last job, and we have a great relationship. I'm sure she'd give me a great reference. I'm also planning to list my supervisor, a director of...
