2. Can night shift cause missed periods

   Beth1978 replied to Floatnurse137's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I am the odd one out here, I worked night shift for 2 years starting when I was 32, still in the prime of fertility. My periods became so irregular that I had to constantly have supplies at the ready. I do think a specialist is in order if yo...

4. Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

   Beth1978 replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

   The verbal abuse and racial slurs are unacceptable. The staffs' response can and should be care planned, along with a contract drawn up, perhaps by a social worker. One of my instructors in school used several days of class time putting all class mem...

5. Hope parents don't send these to school!

   Beth1978 replied to Cattz's topic in School

   I think a product like this one would cause a classroom full of coughers. I see the benefit of home use, although if a child isn't old enough to not choke on a cough drop a sucker might not be safe either.

8. Essential Oil Overkill

   Beth1978 replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

   Viva, I am horribly allergic to lavender too. Nurses technically aren't even supposed to wear perfume, who thought up this policy to put it all over patients? Essential oils placed on skin without a carrier oil can cause skin irritation. OP, can you ...

10. Parents keep medicating their febrile kids in the morning

    Beth1978 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The confusing part about this situation is the fact that a child can get dangerously ill very quickly, and they tank even faster. Why aren't these parents concerned that the child will develop a secondary infection like pneumonia that could kill thei...

13. List the most frivolous complaints you've received

    Beth1978 replied to gardenpartyy's topic in Private Duty

    And yet it is almost impossible for an elderly dementia client to get help with medication management and cooking, so they end up in a nursing home, at a much higher cost. Sad.

15. Glasses for working

    Beth1978 replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    I second the wrap, like for sports, to keep them on your face. You do not want to lose your glasses into the soiled brief of a patient. Especially if they have C Diff. Ask me how I know this.
