    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    I learned that I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Brian Short. I never met him, as many of you did. I'm sorry for that, he seemed to be a genuinely nice person. But he developed the site that let me...
  3. Well, I certainly work simply for the warm feeling it gives me in my heart to help people. Matter of fact, that's how I stay warm in Winter. Because with no money, I can't pay my bills. But that...

    inconsistent policies

    Yet another example of what happens when the "Everyone who shows up gets a trophy, there are no grades so no one feels inferior, anyone can be whatever they want as long as they really really want it"...
  6. I always feel blessed when I receive presents. Seriously though, we're having a lot of fun with this, but I've read clinical notes that are truly appalling. Some of the writers seem to be illiterate,...

    Diabetic Alert Dog at work in Hospital

    Maybe because it's more interesting to play the ADA card and see how far you can push the definition of "reasonable accommodations"? I have asthma and a dog allergy. I can walk into an immaculate...

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Well, if bat crap crazy posters aren't your cuppa tea tonight, there's a budding discussion over in the General Nursing section about whether or not you can get in trouble and jeopardize your future...

    Brian Short News

    Death is difficult to understand when it's expected. When it's sudden and violent, there are no words. My condolences to both families, and peace to Brian, his wife and

    Ok, who was going to get the play list together?? We have more than enough names for Varsity AND JV

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    I'm getting ready for Under the Dome. Series finale. That's one ugly, mangled train wreck. Although, I must admit I'm going to miss Norrie and her

    She and the fascinated by death girl tend to like each other's posts. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    I saw that too!! Am I a terrible person for thinking "If you need a service dog to alert you when your blood sugar drops, are you really a good fit in Nursing, where you can't even find the time to...

    Nurse Slang Yo!

    They show up at the lower back/sacral area, start out purple/blue/black and have kind of a shiny, leathery appearance. If a declining patient develops one, death usually occurs within 24-36 hours....

    I do. Matter of fact, I have EVERYONE blocked!! Makes for quick reading
  19. It's Latin for bread, unfortunately they didn't check their spelling lol. The Latin is "panis". Which looks like member at first

    Nurse Slang Yo!

    I think it was more the fact that she asked about the dose. Most civilian parents would just say "What's that for?" I blew my cover when my mom was in ICU and declining rapidly. She developed a...

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Not just a teacher, but an "educator". After the last post of hers that I read, I'm beginning to think she's just a poser, and is here to stir up trouble, a la a certain social website that shall...

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Rob Reiner was amazing as a director for this. He deliberately kept the two groups of boys separated, and told the older ones to act as bad-ass as they could, so they wouldn't get to know each other...

    Pearson Vue Trick--trick no more

    Nah, dose of Roxanol and a warm bath. They'll just slip

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Yeah, I bowed out of that one when I remembered the three rules I came up with to keep me out of trouble in here. The one about "when your reply is met with vitriol, back slowly out of the room and...
