1. Elective C-sections- moms idea or the providers?

   LadyJaye replied to JulesNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I hope my response does not offend anyone, and this opinion is specifically for elective C-sections- they should be outlawed. Doctors who push them for easy scheduling or insurance/ money purposes should have their licenses taken away, and women who...

2. Death of a Special Co-Worker

   LadyJaye replied to diane227's topic in General Nursing

   I am truly sorry for all of your losses... my heart goes out to her son. We mothers know that we would always give our lives for our children, but so few actually do it. I am fighting back my tears.

4. threatened at work

   LadyJaye replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

   YIKES! That is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. The unfortunate thing is that I am imagining that many of these incidents could be prevented if the establishment cared enough to spend a bit more money on more staffing/secur...

5. threatened at work

   LadyJaye replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

   :rotfl: My dark humor might be shining through- but that is hilarious! But seriously, to Gonzo, I am hoping nothing bad comes out of this situation. I have no words of advice to give you. My last stalker left me alone only after my scary looking ...

6. What does LU mean?

   LadyJaye replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

   After some research, the best I can come up with is that it is the Lutheran Hospital Facility, and LU is the coding for that... if it is the ad that I found, it is surgery dept... hope that helps! Good luck! I hope you get the job!

7. I'm probably nuts for asking, but....

   LadyJaye replied to d'cm's topic in General Nursing

   current nonsmoker, but previous smoker Proud member of the Green party, but fairly split between conservative and liberal... I'm more of an anarchist really.

8. Hoping I don't get the flu

   LadyJaye replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

   Oh dear! I do hope you don't get the flu... but congratulations on your pregnancy! I do feel for you- being pregnant and having the flu would be no fun for you or your baby. What you said about being able to pick it up anywhere is true though, but ...

9. Time-sensitive! : Suggestions for AP Flashcards

   LadyJaye replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

   Yikes! You have probably already had your test by now, so my reply will be in vain, but I have had a lot of recent experience with flashcards. Everyone in my class seemed to have a different approach to them, but for me, the making of the flashcard...

10. Mandatory Flu Shots

    LadyJaye replied to Ghostmedic's topic in COVID

    In response to the OP, I am just in school, but the school is requiring both the seasonal and the H1N1 vaccinations. We can sign a waiver if we want, but then we will have to wear a mask all day in clinicals. We will only be allowed to remove it fo...

11. Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    LadyJaye replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    Viewed as unprofessional = discrimination Should a person with tattoos or gauged ears also sue an establishment for asking that they be covered or removed? Both originated from tribal peoples and some people have them for spiritual reasons. Or are ...

12. Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    LadyJaye replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that discrimination based on body modification is as deplorable as any other form of discrimination. That being said, all forms of discrimination unfortunately still exist. Your son should do as he wishes, and if he does encounter problems, ...
