We understand the frustration associated with managing wounds and the difficulty in finding a product that works well. Managing a wound is not a simple task and occasionally a customer has questions regarding our products, application techniques, appropriate dressings, etc. Clearly, any problem wound should be seen and assessed by a qualified practitioner so that a Management plan can be established. The information that we provide through Ask-A-Nurse should not be construed as the sole source of medical advice, but as a suggestion, as it is impossible to properly assess an individual's condition over the phone or in writing."

Is there a trick to help me read prescriptions? A. Just like the English speak English, French speak French and the Vietnamese speak Vietnamese, doctors, nurses and pharmacists speak the language of medicine. It takes years of training to understand what might be spoken amongst health care professionals in your local hospital or the dense pages of information written in your own medical chart. Your prescription is an extension of this medical terminology. It contains key information and directions regarding your medication including the name, the dose, how to take it, when to take it, how frequently it should be ingested, and when the medication should be stopped, if it is to be taken for a definite duration."

User post: Please don't be afraid of my child with special needs - Parenting on Shine

This is my little boy, Max. He’s six.

At first glance, he may look like any other kid. And in many ways, he is like any other kid. He loves chocolate ice-cream, trucks, airplanes, his toy tractor, chocolate ice-cream, t-ball, splashing around in the pool, the movie Cars, pulling his little sister’s hair. And also, chocolate ice-cream.

Max actually has cerebral palsy. It’s a scary term, I know. Before I had him, it seemed like a terrible fate to have a kid with disabilities.

Then I had a kid with disabilities.

Max had a stroke at birth. Crazy but true: Babies can have strokes. It was a stroke that damaged both sides of his little baby brain. My husband and I were told that Max may never walk or talk, that he could be mentally retarded, that he might have vision and hearing problems. Every single one of my nightmares became a real possibility.

Except….

Max walks. He runs, too. He speaks words. He sees fine. He hears perfectly. He’s bright. He’s funny. He’s interested in the world. Yes, he has his challenges: He cannot talk fluidly, and he has trouble using his hands and chewing food. But he’s doing really well for himself. And he makes me happy, blissfully happy, every single day. Because he’s so sunny, because he’s a fighter, because he is an all-around phenomenal kid.

That might not be what you’d think if, say, you were to spot us at the playground.

  • You might feel sorry for my child. I know, Max may look a little pathetic when he drools or when he’s struggling to pick up something and he can’t. But, trust me, he is perfectly content with who he is and one very cheerful, life-loving child. Who will someday be quite the ladies’ man, I know, but I’m not quite ready to worry about Max and dating. Maybe when he’s seven.
  • You might think that my child should be treated differently than other kids. Nope. Max likes it when you talk to him. He likes it when you joke around with him. He likes it when you fart (although I’m not expecting you to do that).
  • You might think that your kid and my kid don’t have much in common. It’s true Max may not be able to do some things other six-year-olds can do, or do them in quite the same way. But just like your kid he likes to play, pretend, laugh, get silly, touch dirt, roll in the dirt, get himself entirely covered in dirt, bring home dirt, track dirt all over the house. You get the picture.
  • You might feel embarrassed if your child says something “inappropriate.” You know, like “Mommy, what is wrong with that boy?” or “Mommy, why is that boy drooling?” Don’t worry, I won’t be offended; kids are curious. Kids don’t get it. I understand that. Just as long as your child doesn’t ask, “Mommy, do you think that boy’s mommy could use a little liposuction?”
  • You might think it’s rude or awkward to pull your child aside and explain that my child has special needs. Actually, I’d appreciate it if you did do that. Sometimes, kids don’t know what to make of Max or how to play with him. I can certainly jump in and explain things to your child, but it’ll be much more reassuring and encouraging coming from you. Say it however you wish–“This is a child who can’t talk like you do but who likes to play just like you do, you may just need to have a little more patience with him”—but please, say it.

Your child will learn about kids who have special needs. My child will feel included. Everyone will have fun. What could be bad? Max is just a kid. A kid with special needs but still, just a kid.

RN Advantages & Disadvantages | eHow.co.uk

  • Even though there are more registered nurses (RNs) in the health care field than any other single occupation, there still is a nursing shortage, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. There are many paths to becoming an RN. Some people start as an LPN and advance from there. Others take a short associated degree certification course, while others choose a Bachelor's Degree in nursing. No matter what path you choose or why you become an RN, you'll have to consider some positive and negative aspects of working in this field.
  • Disadvantage: Study Time

  • RNs take longer to train than licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Some LPN programs last for only a year, while RN programs range from two to four years. Students wishing to enter the field as quickly as possible should chose an LPN degree rather than an RN degree. RNs have more responsibilities, so the courses are typically more challenging as well.
  • Advantage: Job Outlook

  • There simply aren't enough nurses to fill the demand for them, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). As baby boomers experience an increased need for nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and hospital care, the demand for nurses will increase. The BLS estimates that openings for nursing positions will grow by 22 percent, which is better than for most other positions. RNs will likely have no trouble finding employment upon graduation.
  • Disadvantage: Odd Hours

  • Nurses work long, odd hours--especially new nurses. It's common for nurses to work 12 to 18-hour shifts, and to work overnight, and on weekends and holidays. If no additional nurses can be found to cover a nursing shift, the nurse on duty may have to stay on for an even longer shift. People never stop getting sick or injured, so nurses must always be ready to care for them.
  • Advantage: Pay

  • RNs have an especially broad range of skills, work long hours and literally have people's lives in their hands. Because of this, they are paid well. The BLS estimated that in 2008, the average nurse made $62,450. Some nurses made much more, topping out at $92,240. Even the lowest paid nurses still brought in $43,410. Increased financial aid for nurses and special nursing loans backed by the federal government give RNs a financial leg-up so they can afford their studies.
