  2. Why Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    I have to say, as a former nursing student, staff nurse, charge nurse, and sometimes preceptor, I have seen nurses eat not only their young, but their co-workers and even their supervisors at times. It seems like there are just some people out there...
  3. CMMC School of Nursing? or SMCC?

    I went to Cmcc and graduated in 2005. I felt I got a good education from CMCC. The instructors were very helpful and the clinical experiences were interesting (our clinicals were mostly at Central Maine Medical Center, D'youville, St. Mary's, etc)....

    Not really this week, one was sick, the other was at FEMA training, and we were also down a nurse. But we made it through .
  5. What's the weirdest baby name?

    Guys no joke I had a 16 yr old with her 3mos in my clinic and the baby's name was Dolly, which is cute but the girl said she named her that "because she's my very own babydoll!" Sad isn' it? And I wonder, does La-a (Ladasha) have a brother named ...

    We have two CNAs with phlebotomy training do our labs and we also draw some labs ourselves depending on the amount of labs or if we are working up an STD pt.
  7. Possibly Moving to NH-Advice

    Hmmm, not getting any results here. I would really like to hear from you NH nurses. This is one factor that can make a difference in where we move to. Any help is appreciated.

  11. PTSD in ED Nursing/ Critical Care Nursing

    There are nights I come home from work and feel like calling in for good before my next shift. I have had bad nights run through my head over and over again (Tyleonol PM is a great thing). When I very casually asked a long time RN who I trusted in ...
  12. Your least favorite patient.

    Oh, so many favorites! Let's see. My-Primary-Doctor-is-the-ER-doctor patient Mean Drunk (male or female) Redneck trash-talking woman (the type that think snapping their fingers gets them attention) The oh-so-popular misdiagnosed bipolar(actua...
  13. venting: fetal demise

    While all nurses see problems with patients' health caused by their own poor choices, none to me is more heartbreaking than when it affects infants/children. It is so easy to get angry and furious at them and most of the time they are in such denial...
  14. L&D nurse is calling formula poison!!!

    I was a bottle fed baby and while I'm not the smartest or richest person by far I don't think I turned out too badly. I fed my son breast milk and supplemented formula for the first two weeks of life, but I didn't rest enough, hit the baby blues HAR...
  15. Brother and Sister born on the same day

    I can't help but feel that a lot of these women are so uneducated about their options and are so desparate for some kind of family unit they take whatever they feel they can get. The men seem to prey on this too. I don't think it's subconscious eit...
