1. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   It was trying, for sure. I think people have some very unrealistic expectations when it comes to their newborns.

2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   No, your apple juice isn't as important as the lady trying to bleed to death in the next room, nor the 33-weeker antepartum down the hall who's sitting on the toilet trying to push, that I am trying to get transferred to labor and delivery. I'll be ...

3. Do you ever plan on leaving the bedside?

   HeyJude replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

   While I would eventually like to do something outside the hospital job, I really can't think of what I'd like to do on a fulltime basis apart from that. I don't really see myself as a teacher, I don't want to do management, and I'm not (at least not ...

4. The Circumcision Discussion

   HeyJude replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Link #2 posted: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/26/healthmag.circumcision.hpv.herpes/index.html In Uganda. They also point out that roughly 3/4 of US adults have already had at least one HPV infection....already. That in a country that still ...

5. The Circumcision Discussion

   HeyJude replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hate to be the one to point this out to you, but I am quoting directly from the links you posted. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm Your research sites were located in Africa, and this research is far from concl...

6. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

   HeyJude replied to djc1981's topic in Male Students

   You hate male doctors and nurses? Without even knowing them? You certainly can ask for the caregiver you want, but to say you hate someone just because they are male? I don't understand. On what are you basing this? I have never ever had this exper...

7. Stupid things that bosses have you do

   HeyJude replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

   What really fries me is when it's not the VIP making such a big deal over themselves, but admin does. We had one not too long ago who was a very nice patient with a very nice family, and probably had no idea this big a deal was being made over them, ...

8. An OB's Birth Plan

   HeyJude replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have to admire this doc's candor but do not agree with his stance on so many things. The evidence strongly suggests that many of the things he is intent on doing are either a) not helpful; or b) downright harmful. And on the flipside, I have se...

10. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    HeyJude replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism

    CRNA, and I find these generalizations disturbing and, more importantly, inaccurate. You act as if you are the only person whose tax dollars would be used to support the healthcare of the entire country and you know that's not true. Everybody ...

    HeyJude replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral

    Silas, Unless you have been to nursing school and medical school, is there any way to know which is more rigorous? I cannot tell you how many times I have been right and a physician has been wrong. Do I rub it anyone's face? No, because that's not t...

12. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

    I'm a pretty crunchy kind of gal. I have a shirt that says "The Hippies Were Right", if that gives you any idea of the kind of things I believe. So if you don't want the Vit K, Emycin, Hep B, or PKU for your baby, I will probably be ok with that. Ho...

13. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    Oh Lord, how terrible. I think it's perfectly understandable for you to be sensitive about things like that years after they happen.

14. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    I completely understand and respect where you are coming from, ingelein. I didn't mean to make light of your family's history. I was referring to several hundred years ago, and the 'Manifest Destiny', not displaced people who were kicked out of their...

15. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

    I have a question. I'm just throwing it out there. Do you think Native Americans ever sat around having this exact same discussion about the invading hordes of colonists? People who: - for the most part, forced their language(s) on the Native America...
