    May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

    Finding a rare safe place where you can discuss dealing with mental illness is bragging about it. Yep. People like this exist in day to day life, and are the reason I shan't be sharing my own labels...

    *Barges in uninvited* I would like to suggest that whatever Davey may be mastering, the real Master Baiters are the ones who come here and poke sleeping gender politics or NETY in the eye. *slinks...

    So I kind of messed up

    Regarding previous discussion of whether taking a non-controlled rx med is a crime, from an Air Force web page discussing prescription med use: "Sharing prescription medication not only is dangerous...

    So I kind of messed up

    It's perfectly logical that a person who doesn't do drugs wouldn't know about controlled substance regulations or the half-life of metabolites. I also believe it's more likely naivete than bad...

    5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    I recently asked about app functions not working (it teased me so badly by saying I could get a notification when one of my posts was directly quoted ) and Joe V said the mobile site was the priority....

    Wish we had more nurses like that! Thanks for what you do; it's very badly

    I don't have time to pee!

    I've never understood this badge of honor re: how badly you can abuse your kidneys and bladder. I have a friend who is a pharmacist... she had a wake up call when a coworker ended up in the ICU from...

    My first night shift... help!

    I like a lot about both shifts. Night pros: Rarely have non-clinical staff present, fewer visitors, so calmer atmosphere. Only HS blood sugars. No meal trays. Sometimes there's a lull after midnight....

    5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    I discovered that avoiding seeds wasn't EBP in my final semester of nursing school but I've never been able to convince a single person of

    May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

    I have a lot of pretty messed up family and loved ones. I am not unmarked myself. My brother somehow turned out normal, and we all marvel at him. I'll avoid those words then, cani, and try to avoid...

    May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

    *makes tinfoil sailboat* Actually, mental illness didn't exist before 1247, when the Bethlem Royal Hospital opened as the first lunatic asylum. Since this was before Big Pharma, I suspect it was Big...

    Obese Nurses

    Ah, Biggest Loser. Where I learned about the no eating or drinking, enemas, diuretics, hair cuts, and nail trims prior to weigh-in day. Because who wouldn't hit a BMI of 18 for

    Obese Nurses

    Play is awesome. Physical activity is awesome. "Exercise" for kids is a chore, a punishment. I'm all for helping kids get healthier lifestyles (an some of them genuinely are unhealthy), but as someone...

    Obese Nurses

    BMI is an objective metric. It's a height-to-weight ratio. The problem is that we assign value to that without accounting for body fat percentage, weight stability, BP, insulin resistance, level of...

    5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    WILTW: AN is an internet forum, which draws out the worst in anonymous behavior; it is a large bridge and houses many trolls. For all its flaws, it is still a pretty neat place to explore. I came back...
