  1. Different med

    It's probably just new, but ya never know. My son was prescribed prednisolone (orapred) and it's light pink and translucent. I got it from Wallgreens in California.
  2. Child Protective Services--Reporting?

    I have had a few bad experiences with CPS myself. When I was about 7, my siblings and I were taken away from my mom for a week or so because someone called the police and my mom wasn't home (we were with a family friend). We spent the first night at ...
  3. is it possible 2 afford a 3br/2ba house in cal?

    Not sure where you live, but last year here in Palm Desert the heat got up to 122 - 124 degrees. Maybe you were out of town? Not something you forget, lol. And yes, a pool is a MUST. Although in the middle of summer, it tends to feel more like a war...
  4. is it possible 2 afford a 3br/2ba house in cal?

    wow! Has anyone considered Coachella Valley. I consider it the perfect place to be located. Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs, and Palm Desert are all somewhat expensive, but Thousand Palms is fairly inexpensive. There is not a lot of crime and the Valley ...
  5. Books for CRNA School?

    I notice that posters tend to shy away from giving information about CRNA school to OP's who have yet to finish Nursing School. You can try searching this bulletin board using key words, or try going to Amazon.com and search through their popular bo...
  6. 6 weeks and counting

    For those wondering if Izzy is coming back, I would say no. I saw a preview for an upcoming show (can't remember which), and she is one of the main characters. I was surprised, and wondered how she was going to be able to do both shows. I guess I hav...

  8. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    I think you are all correct when you say that the nursing shortage is manufactured and the reasons for it. This thread has been very educational. A real eye opener on so many levels. Thank you!!!!!!!!
  9. What would you think...

    I know this post is some months old, but I just wanted to put in my two cents. Being someone who has had many Many MANY needle sticks to last two lifetimes, I think I know where you might be coming from on this. Every blue moon when getting my blo...
  10. Grading Scale For Your Nursing Program........

    Does anyone realize that this thread was first posted in 2001? He he....Interesting to see things don't change and are pretty consistent through-out all this time.
  11. Age when you had your first child?

    unknown pregnancy at 17/ misscarried 25/ only child/ boy Having my son has completely changed who I was and I have changed for the better. Everything I do is for him. I sometimes wish I would have waited till I was done with school. It gets very fr...
  12. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    This past year my sister was in Labor and Delivery. The nurse went to check her cerivx by pulling up the sheet and not exposing her at all. It still bothered me, mainly becuase there was no warning, and I felt embarrassed for my sister - due to the...
  13. homeless pt's?

    I can see what Jericho was trying to say, and I tend to agree. I myself had cancer a few years back in my late teens/early twenties. I went into remission fairly quickly. I have struggled with depression, social anxiety, memory loss, etc., so i su...

  15. taking students, precepting

    I am a pre-nursing student, and am wondering how anyone with that attitude would even be able to GET INTO Nursing School!!! You would think during the interview process they would screen people a little better.

    Here is a page full of info. for Keck School of Medicine in Southern California: http://www.usc.edu/schools/medicine/departments/anesthesiology/education/crna/applications.html

  19. I just made a med error

    I just wanted to tell you about my experience as the patient when this happened. I was getting my hickman catheter flushed one morning in the hospital and instead of flushing it with Heprin, she must have grabbed something else (I think I heard som...

    :yeahthat:
  21. A few questions for the "older" new nurses...

    You will always Always ALWAYS, look back in regret if you don't. I started out a few years ago and dwindled around thinking I had all the time in the world. I didn't have anyone to answer to but myself. Now a few years down the road I am gung-ho a...

  25. Thoughts on Maric College?

    You hear that the waiting lists are 2+ years long, but realistically it is about a year or so in some places. You could always find out what classes you need for a BSN in the time while you are waiting (keeping options open). Also.... there are ni...
