1. All About the NET

   ayndim replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is an easier way to do these. 18 - 3 1/3 = 14 2/3 Borrow one from the 18 and put it in the fraction column as 3/3. Remember one can be expressed in fraction form as any number/same number (i.e., 5/5, 4/4, 500/500 -- they all equal 1). Now you...

2. sterile water for baby baths

   ayndim replied to brady123's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had the nurse tell me that my baby was a biohazard, as she was trying to get me to agree with letting her bathe the baby. Yeah, well since he was inside of me, guess that makes him my biohazard! Luckily, I was delivering just as shift change occ...

3. sterile water for baby baths

   ayndim replied to brady123's topic in Ob/Gyn

   What if mom says no, she will bathe the baby? I had a nurse with my 3rd baby tell me that I couldn't bathe my baby (I gave the other two their 1st baths) because that is when she did her assessment. Not this time -- you can assess after I bathe my ...

5. Over vigilant about some of my allergies?

   ayndim replied to emeraldjay's topic in General Nursing

   What bothers me is that another nurse had to find you a gown and face shield. I bet that causes some resentement, as you should have gotten them yourself. Otherwise, I think as long as you are doing the work, such as changing the sheets yourself wh...

6. When circ's go bad...

   ayndim replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think for babies that being uncirced is more hygenic. I have two little boys and nothing ever got under the foreskin. They have never had a UTI. And I never retract it. They can do it when they are older and there Daddy shows them. Don't need t...

7. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

   ayndim replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

   I feel your pain. When my husband got laid off in 2001, I was 8 months pregnant. Luckily, the company paid the insurance for 2 months. We also had a very low mortgage payment. However, like many young Americans we had a lot of cc debt. Well we d...

8. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

   ayndim replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

   I am not sure how long ago that was but luckily they can't do that now. You must have a chance to appear in court and a court order has to be issued to feeze assets. Except maybe for Mr. Taxman and other government people. Not sure about them.

9. Background/Credit Check, Bankruptcy

   ayndim replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

   Employers can refuse to hire you because of bad credit but not bankruptcy. Under the Bankruptcy Act it is illegal for non-governmental employers to discriminate on the basis of bankruptcy. http://assembler.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode11/usc_se...

10. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    ayndim replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't think she actually laughed. Just wanted too.

11. Shocked and horrified!!

    ayndim replied to ayndim's topic in Pediatric

    I did tell the teacher when I dropped my daughter off at school. She is going to talk to the parents, while keeping my daughter's name out of it. She is also going to ask the school nurse to come in and talk to the kids. It sends shivers down my ...

12. Shocked and horrified!!

    ayndim posted a topic in Pediatric

    My 1st grader came home yesterday and told me a classmate almost passed out and she had to help her. When I asked her what happened she said the little girl was choking herself!!! These are 6 and 7 year olds for goodness sakes. I know the little g...

13. what treatment do patients who present with migraines......

    ayndim replied to froghair's topic in Emergency

    Imitrex can be pretty nasty, imho. I had a shot of it once and felt like my head was on fire. You know like when your hand falls asleep and then "wakes" back up. The pain was worse than the migraine. Okay not really but it still hurt like :angry...

14. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    ayndim replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is unfair to present the option to the mom while the student (male or female) is in the room. Let the mom decide without feeling any pressure. I did have a student (female) when I had my second. But I was asked before she came in. She...

15. what treatment do patients who present with migraines......

    ayndim replied to froghair's topic in Emergency

    Wow, I hadn't either. I am always joking that I want a caffiene IV. Gosh I could really become a frequent flier with that available. About 2 or 3 times a year, I have been getting migraines so bad that I end up in the ER. Truthfully, demerol doesn...
