So, as a new member to this forum, please forgive me if as a student nurse, I have posted in an inappropriate place. Okay, I saw something done the other day that made me really uncomfortable. And I'd just like to have some folks with some real exper...

Yup ... Don't I feel silly! I actually saw that .. but NOT until AFTER I'd already posted my question! It's a shame too. I sounded like it had some really good information!

Hey nurseprnRN! The link you provided didn't work: "this is a really nice little site with pdf worksheets for different diagnoses..." 404 Error - Page Not Found I'm wondering if there was an error in the link or if the link is just no longer function...

I don't understand HOW you can rate something that you can't OBJECTIVELY measure ... (I've never heard of rating NONpitting edema... which of course does NOT mean that it can't be or isn't done... It just means that I've never heard of it. ) Now, the...

Yeah, my observations have been that a male nurse might be able to get away with that, but a female nurse, . . . not as likely. . .

Actually, I think it may have more to do with the "God Complex" that so many of them seem to develop!

I guess a poor excuse is better than none?

HA-HA!!! That's awesome!

Oh MAN! A pop quiz!?! Holy Cow! And not just a pop quiz, but a PUBLIC pop quiz! Okay . . . I'll try to represent . . . (What'cha bet I NEVER forget the answers!?!) I assume (bad thing to be doing!) that you'll send me corrections to my answers . . .!...

Oh! Ouch! That doesn't seem fair. There is a difference between specialty and super-sonic subspecialty. But hey, I'm just a student. What do I know!?!

As to the boundaries, I can't say that you might not have a point. I certainly need to give that some thought. I know I certainly FELT for her. But beyond that, I really hadn't thought through it, except my surprise with the dosage and the doctor's m...

"THANKS!!!! I'll check it out for sure! But your right . . . I SHOULD have thought of that . . . after I hit "Post Comment" I promise I WILL check it out! Thanks much for the tip~ I REALLY do appreciate it . . . a LOT!" Weeell, I did do as I promise...

Wow! Ok, good to know . . . I've just not had much experience with patients on Ativan, at all. In a previous post I commented back to someone and said: ". . . it was the amount that concerned me. It just seemed like so much. Although, when I lo...

THANKS!!!! I'll check it out for sure! But your right . . . I SHOULD have thought of that . . . after I hit "Post Comment" I promise I WILL check it out! Thanks much for the tip~ I REALLY do appreciate it . . . a LOT!

That's a little scary. Doesn't that put the patient on a pretty slippery slope? It seems to me that in a patient that was having trouble getting diagnosed to begin with, that that could really be damaging to the patient's well being? Not to sound ove...

I'm sorry you feel that way. But no,that's not correct. And yes, your right! That would violate the TOS! Frankly, I didn't have a PDR at home.

Not that I'm the one to make the judgement here, I REALLY recognize that, but it wasn't that the drug in and of it's self worried me, it was the amount that concerned me. It just seemed like so much. Although, when I looked it up, the max suggested d...

Sorry! Wasn't sure what you guys did and didn't need to know to help me understand what I was seeing!

Okay, so first of all, I'd like to suggest to you that you reconsider this particular part of your thought process. I'd like to see you re-name your feeling labeled "guilty" with "empathize" or "sympathize", as either of those would be appropriate. ...

Jul 20 by traumaRUs, MSN, APRN, CNS Admin Hi - I'm concerned that you have a lot of pt identifiers in your recent post about the female with resp distress..would you be okay if I edited it? Thanks. Tried to answer you. . . but system will not allo...

I've re-read this MULTIPLE ways, MULTIPLE times. Each time, I have the SAME takeaway! The takeaway is that NO ONE above Ms. Hiatt from the ICU Director right on up to the upper echelon of the hospital up to and including the hospital itself is REFUSI...
