OH YES!!! Nurse Guy FL, try being an LPN in a LTC facility!!! Paramedics REALLY love to rag on us!!!! Although I have dealt with some really great ones.....but pretty rare!

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!! Saw the video that woman DEFINITELY had a guardian angel. Non believers need to see that video, certain things happen for a reason. You CAN'T call that a coincidence!! Thank the Good Lord!

Doesn't make sense and doesn't sound safe either!

Aaahh Yes!! Remember gowning up from head to toe in isolation for MRSA!! And all the disposable dinnerware etc!! Or how about feeding geriatric residents PO with a 60 cc syringe!! Holy cow if I had known then (late 80's early 90's) what I know no...

I HAVE THE ULTIMATE PETPEEVE!!! Family members that try to "diagnose" their loved-ones by saying to the nurse...."well my medical dictionary at home says...." Or, " I looked up online lastnight that my mothers signs and symptoms mean she has this...
