    Unless they found some kind of mass or blood abnormality a biopsy of an alcoholic liver really isn't necessary. Wonder what he's talking about? I wound up making a "Brazilian coconut milk...

    Delta 8 THC now federally legal, what does this mean for nurses?

    Tweety replied to RNMN667's topic in General Nursing

    Gotcha. I didn't and still don't get the literary references as I haven't read those authors. I'm a reader, but not of classic literature. I do think our society is pretty chemically...

    Delta 8 THC now federally legal, what does this mean for nurses?

    Tweety replied to RNMN667's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see your point. I'm not writing and English paper here, so how about "ingesting a THC laced edible chewy fruit gum candy". Otherwise you make no sense to

    Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    Tweety replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago my hospital mandated an all RN staff and several LPNs retired or quit but many were motivated to get their RN. Now, they have recently started hiring LPNs. My unit doesn't have any...

    Too Fat To Be A Nurse?

    Tweety replied to Newprospnp's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes. I remember we started this probably over 20 years ago. With the "being obese is unhealthy and a bad example to patients" with "how dare you judge" over and over. I had to step away from...

    Damar Hamlin's Cardiac Arrest Has Health Professionals Talking About Commotio Cordis

    I heard it was the covid vaccine. Certainly the timing of the heartbeat for this very rare event would have to be just right but it could happen and has happened and could explain what happened...

    Stars, being very sleepy and falling asleep easily while awake and that pattern sounds like obstructive sleep apnea. Not sure you want to go through route. Also your husband is missing his booze...

    Stars, I have never heard of "worms" but maybe he has a fungal or some other kind of infection? That is a lot of Ativan so I hope it makes him sleepy. But given that he's not benzo naive it...

    You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    Tweety replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely sounds like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. In your words you "disdain this profession" but need the money and don't have time because of needing to work and your toddler to...

    Good morning! A quiet day can be a good day. Stars having to be on alert to stop five falls (and counting?) must be exhausting. Because I didn't sleep well the night before, I decided...

    Why lift foot of bed up to lift pts in bed?

    Tweety replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think we're saying the same thing. "If you can't lift at least 75 lbs. you don't fit the job description". So 75 is the minimum required weight required to be able to lift to be hired. For...

    Where do you stand on "Nurses don't get paid enough"?

    Tweety replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing
