Well, the patient I most recently had did have a slight pink discoloration to chest and neck and itching there. This was with Zosyn. He also had that reaction to vanc when given
I have been instructed to give medications, in several situations, that a patient was having a mild reaction to. Every time the doctor will order Benadryl to be given with the Med (mostly antibiotics)...
I would like to know how other moms are managing breastfeeding while working 7p-7a. I have to work three 12's per week and my son is 4 months old. He typically eats every 2-3 hours. I've been pumping...
Yes he does. I think it has something to do with him having a rough start so less tone, plus the pediatrician we saw said he had a third degree tongue tie. Unsure if she's right about that causing...
No clinics are open on Sunday and urgent care clinic had no advice to offer other than what I have already concluded myself. Yes it's my child and yes I'm a general Med-surg nurse...not a nicu nurse...

It seems that a lot of things are not being handled correctly at the facility I work at. Sorry if I gave everyone a headache trying to read this. I really didn't expect that many people to even make...
