has anyone tried google drive?

so i was wearing my ring (light blue stone) in class and during break, a (sephardi) guy sitting in front of me asked me if i was engaged because he know’s i’m single but wearing a ring on my L ring finger. so i told him still single. he asked why i was wearing it on the ‘wrong’ hand so i explained why it was on my left. he wasnt too convinced with that answer

apy, ok got it. i also like your suggesting calling it a ‘bio’. better than resume or profile.

147, no not gonna do that either. my way of dress has yeshivish leanings but i am not yeshivish. if i did that, i’d definitely get the wrong type of suggestions

MP, oomis i agree with you. really i do. the only reason i have a resume is because the shadchanim ask for it. if i didnt need one, then i dont need one but once the shadchan asks then i have to send it. personally i find the shidduch system as is in need of some fixing. i’ve been in the “parsha” over a year yet not one shidduch that has been redt has been even close to being a yes. i’m thinking of ditching the system and trying something else cuz this isnt working.

loyal jew, just fyi, my father will have no problems if i come home one day and said i met a boy in shul, school, through a freind and “he seems my type. please look into him.” go rant somewhere else if you have a problem

MP- thanx for the concern. unfortunately, my family dynamics are on the messed up side; certain things can set my father off in unexpected ways. my father knows what i am looking for but not things that would hurt him. ie, he knows i want someone who is calm and does not get angry but details like i want someone who can discuss something that is bothering him before it becomes a major issue i did not tell him. i am who i am today because i made a conscience decision to be different than my parents. part of doing that was making my list of things that are important to me in my future husband based on things i like(or disliked) about my parents.

another reason i hinted to before. my father says he is open-minded and can accept other opinions yet it is not true. time and time again i will say something i found nice, a chap on a p’shat, something i think is important only to have my father correct me. it is only since sem i have learned to nod my head to him while mentally blocking his words on subject XYZ. the way i think is not for him to correct if i disagree on a certain area. i have learned there are certain topics not to mention and my father does not make a fuss if i leave a certain conversation/topic. it saves alot of stress in the family. because i like my mind the way it is, i rarely ask his opinion on certain topics

not a tircha and apy-NO NO NO NO and NO. so you are saying i should sell myself? make my resume eye catching? NO. just FYI, i am no looking for a learning BOY, i am looking for a MAN who is WORKING. i’m not looking for the ‘best’ boy in the yeshiva. if i am supposed to meet my bashert, my resume (or how ever it happens) will get to him.

Actually meant my grad is today. Today is wwwaaayyyy too hot to be wearing polyester gowns. But I will take the luck. Hope I don’t trip on my way up to get my diploma.

I pulled out my pharm book over Y”T and looked it up.

Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) is a nasal decongestant that works by vasoconstriction. the thing is, sudafed does not work for me for nasal congestion so whats to say it will work for migraines.

moski, i wish! yesterday was bad timing for a migraine. as much as i tried ignoring/distracting myself, it was still there

the goq, i don’t know, sorry. people experience migraines differently.

kollel_wife, for headaches my limit is 2 advil/motrin. any higher and i run the risk of the side-effects. higher doses give me headaches. (yes, it is a documented side effect). coffee interestingly relieves nausea for me many times but yesterday i did drink fluids and ate b/c i know it only gets worse if i skip meals.

elik, my migraines are not stressed induced, rather they usually come from changes in the weather.

WOW, well said and very true. but like i said, i could only do 2/3. its hard to sleep in school when you are in a class reviewing nearly 2 years worth of info. from experience i know i need hours of sleep to get over a migraine but not always possible

thanx e/o! a gutt shabbos and a gutt Y”T!

from nursing school

Fffffffffiiiiiinnnnnneeeeee be that way. Stupid people keep EMT-B’s and P’s in business and sick people keep RN’s docs and you (what ever you are) in business.

You just earned a major eyeroll for even suspecting me of forgetting to consider drug interactions. That was my fist thought. Do you really think I would not consider that? Seriously. I plan to sit for my boards in about a month. I should know that by now

Oh and I agree w u abt men. U guys r weird sometimes.

i saw you changed the scenario; it could of been a dirty rock, knife, or anything. its plausible he got a cut or wound in the area providing entrance for infection but there was no mention of something like that in the history. but then again, the pt was a poor historian and mom didnt mention it. on admission he was asked abt bullying in school-which was denied. plus, there was no wound healing in the thigh/hip area. if it did get infected via a wound, would the organism lay dormant until the wound healed completely-over 2 weeks? if there was evidence of a wound, then yes your theory is plausible.

either way, if he is still in the hospital when i have shifts this week, i hope either A) he is on the PICU side of the floor or B) i am not assigned to him. best scenario, he was d/c’d.

“Sometimes when something weird happens you have to think of weird scenarios that coulda caused it.”

this is not even the weirdest case i cared for. but i can’t post about that one

mod in bold and syag, there is no identifying info in what i said. identifying info would be something like name, social security number, address, date of birth. i dont believe presenting case info like this violates HIPPA. i do appreciate the concern though. i have another interesting pt as well but i am not posting it for a couple of reasons.

health, i did not post the bold part-the mod did.

its an school aged kid (less than 10). they did hemeglobin electrophoresis-results were normal. cbc was normal besides wbc was 24 iirc. electrolytes were normal too i think. they did an I&D of the abscess but apparently there was not a lot of puss. the surrounding tissue and muscle was inflammed though.

i kinda doubt the dirty needle theory. the kid is petrified of needles. he needs EMLA every time for blood draws and come near him with a syringe and he shreeks (some of the meds are on syringe pump…).

the drug seeker had PN and would take n/t PO. IV only abx. docs only ordered tylenol q4 for pain and he wanted stronger. security had to be called a few times to speak to him-basically either stop threatening the docs or be discharged/leave AMA. it was pretty scary. i made my instructor come in w/ me when i gave the meds

mrs critique, i kinda doubt you know this pt…

mods, can you tell me which points make you uncomfortable? its possible they can be deleted w/o making the post confusing.

nope. it was 1 pt. he was admitted for R hip pain last week (had him my first day). over the week his fever got worse, blood culture came back MRSA +, he developed SOB…final diagnosis is DVT in the right femoral and common iliac veins IIRC, R hip abscess, L lung PN and possible PE; docs also considered him septic secondary to MRSA. oh and he has ADHD and bipolar-depression.

“Ok, since you researched it all -tell me how to recognize & treat Stat Epi. Go in order of therapy -which first and so on. Also tell me how to administer and dosage.”

NO. i dont want to. plain and simple as that. i will tell you standard nursing interventions r/t seizure precautions if you want but i will not list dosages and routes. i listed some of the meds above. first med is diazepam. other meds used are lorazepam, phenytoin. for refractory, phenobarb or other barbiturates. optimal route is IV and dosage is mg(mcg)/kg

the seizure pt was not my assigned pt but did assist in his care. the dvt pt was my assignment when he was first admitted and again this week. last night i had him he was s/p gunther tulip filter placement, abscess drainage and placement of 2 jp’s.

airway is maintained. Post seizure he gets o2 via face mask. Re meds not sure but do know his seizure meds were d/c’d to monitor site of seizure prior to surgery

bumping this back up.

a nurse i was working with asked me if all jews are circumcised. i told her with in the orthodox and chasidic communities, yes they are unless there is a medical reason not to (specified some to her). i then told her i was unsure the percentages of conservative/reform jews circumcize but it is something that they do.

how important is bris milah to the reform? is it a mandatory thing by them?

health, when i wrote “emergency” i didnt mean a trauma coming in to the er in Vtach. i just couldn’t think of the correct word i was looking for. and anyways, according to webster dictionary, an emergency is “an unforeseen combination of circumstances or the resulting state that calls for immediate action.” so under this technical definition, extreme pain or a temp of 102.9 needs a dose of motrin ASAP. last week our pts were low acuity so there were few things happening.

2scents, that is correct. i dont know what the students in the ER are allowed to do but on my floor we can do most stuff w/o permission if the nurse is comfortable with us. some want to observe the first time. the one thing we always have to check are meds. we do 1 check alone, then 1 check with the nurse and sometimes a 3rd just prior before we give the med(s)

NOMTW, i start my shift @ 7p tonight. will IY”H let you know how it goes. the first week was brutal on my body. i slept a few hours after my last shift and felt fine all day friday. came friday night…slept 12 hours straight-didnt wake up once in the middle. (that was more exciting than 12 hours-i have sleep probs s/times). NOW i’m back to my normal schedule….right before i have to mess it up again. but i’m not complaining. i really love it on the peds floor and i have a better appreciation of YOM MENUCHA 🙂 as i said all week “thank G-d for shabbos”

bring on week 2. i plan on rocking it

Hi NOMTW-last night was OK. very quiet. which on a hospital floor is a good thing. actually looking forward to next week instead of dreading the night shift! a gut shabbos e/o!

hiya NOMTW. i LOVED it. really was WAY cool. but that may be the caffeine speaking. had 3 coffees last night. lets see how tonight goes before i decide i want to work nights

PBA, plz tell your SIL thanx! i just got up from sleeping. hope its enough sleep to get me through the next shift

more_2, i don’t care she knows my screen name. a few people know my SN and it doesn’t bother me. what bothers me is asks my sister questions. making a new screen name would not solve the problem. i would have to post is such a generic way there would be no reason to post. the fact that people know who i am just means i have to post the truth. the things i post here is what i would say to them in person. making a new SN would mean ignoring the things that make me unique from all the other posters.

i’m just curious how this thread is bringing me down to her level. she is just a reader, not a poster so i’m not expecting a reply.
