    Different kind of retaliation

    I suppose I can see what your saying. But from what I understood, she was NOT informed of what she was/wasn't getting done. How can she attempt to correct something she doesn't know is wrong. The...

    Situation Haunting Me

    Very good. In the hopital I just left, we had a team that we could call if the patient just didn't seem right. I'll be darned if I can remember what the team name was, but it was part of the 100,000...

    Different kind of retaliation

    lilpeanut, I think that was a little harsh don't you? Geez, she's looking for help, not attacks. Think about your affects on people prior to typing something like

    Different kind of retaliation

    As for your problems with that idea. Here's my theory - if you get in at a hospital as a tech or something the wait wouldn't be all that bad, you'll be getting paid in the meantime. 2. I think that...

    IV Lasix, Phenergan, Solumedrol

    Well I have ONE suggestion. ALWAYS dilute phenergan. It kills the veins and hurts like heck!! I dilute it nearly 50/50 because it is so incredibly bad, actually more than that (dilution wise)....

    Different kind of retaliation

    I think that you did simply have a bad experience, a real bad one, but bad none-the-less. Is there not another school you could get a refresher course on? Why take a refresher course anyway? I mean...

    Owe Taxes=loose License?

    Although I don't think so, I guess it could make sense. I am by no means a legal nurse. But the License is state issued. So, if you are behind in state taxes I guess the punishment 'could' be lose...

    Help? A&P oral presentation

    I agree cardiac is a very very interesting thing to talk about. Second I would choose renal - this is connected obviously to the heart so you could combine them. Third I would choose brain - much...
