  1. Penicillin desentiziation

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Peaches N L&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have to agree with you. I suffered an anaphylatic episode, as a result of exposure to penicillin. There is no way, as a nurse, that I would ever agree to desensitize a patient, let alone tow. The...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to mdslabod's topic in Emergency

    Perhaps it is the facilities I've been a patient in but it is extremely difficult for a patient or family to steal any equipment or supplies. They are kept secure behind locked doors. Even snacks,...

  11. Tom Cruise on Postpartum depression

    grannynurse FNP student replied to LizzyL&DRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. How to become an NP?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to CW30's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There is such a thing as a Registered Nurse First Assister (may have the title wrong). You do not have to be a NP, only an RN. You first assist a surgeon, in the OR and can do, I believe minor wound...
