    DM1 in Elementary Setting - Dealing with Parents

    Sadly, Press Ganey creeping across the board. Parents don't or won't say no to their darlings, so they will shop until they find the endo that will give them what they want. Law of economics, plain...

    School Shootings

    There was a day when gun safety was taught in the public school. Classmates had guns in their trucks on racks at the window, in the school parking lot! Guns were more visible when I grew up, yet mass...

    How to handle a 3rd grade hypochondriac?

    My FF that was missing LOTS of class time had the provision that he could only come during recess. This was mom's idea, she is a teacher. Nipped it in the bud, he sees me maybe once a

    Anorexia

    Interesting that blood sugar checks aren't part of the plan. In acute care we had to awaken the girl at 4AM, this seems to be when they would die when the body pulls from glycogen stores. You are...

    This is a new one

    OK, please look at the forum you came into. These are not our patients, they are students. Do not come into our nurses' station and make assumptions. I would never go to the Maternal Child forum and...

    "My chest hurts"

    Old cardiac nurse here. The first thing is to determine if it is worse with deep inspiration. Cardiac pain will not change with inspiration. This is hard for adults to discern, but be patient, they...

    Double Briefing

    That is highly optimistic on that salesman's (that is truly what a rep is) product. I have personally tested briefs and have found the Abena's holding 3 quarts compared to Depends, a little over a...

    C'Mon Now!

    It is on their app. I don't have KLOVE in my area since we have a large market station here, so I downloaded the app after seeing you bring it

    C'Mon Now!

    It is working now!! During Christmas music season I listen to Pandora that way I can shuffle Christmas music and worship music. Somehow, my computer knows when it is the morning. In the mornings if I...

    Why I hate Yankauers...

    Working post op OHS, I noted that the only pts. who had them were those unwilling to pulmonary toilet on their own or get out of bed. They encourage laziness and most of my coworkers agreed. We all...

    Strange hearing screening question

    This may seem like it is out of left field, but is he left hand dominant? Being left handed myself (really ambidextrous), I find I switch my left and right directions frequently. I have learned to...
