about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

advice

Please tell me how I can help my son stop his itching from a sunburn.

Aveeno bath first, pat the skin dry and apply solarcain.

You might also ask the pharmacist about giving oral benedryl. This is very simple and sound advice. I don't understand the low rating, but oh well! No good deed goes unpunished!

(Rating: 2) I did the aveeno bath and patted his skin but havent tried the solarcain as of yet, thank you. I have also tried aloe vera and that does not seem to calm him down either. Also the pink stuff, is that ok? (calamine lotion)
