1. Blindsided by a colleague.

   bendyprissy replied to tch1920's topic in School

   Obviously this kid did not go home to his mother the same way he came to you so I wonder what complete fabrication was given to her by this child, as evidenced by her extreme reaction toward you. I might approach her with that thought in mind about h...

2. Lice Options

   bendyprissy replied to KKEGS's topic in School

   Costs maybe $20 total, depending on how much hair someone has, could be less. 1. Saturate hair with Campho phenique & cover with towel. 2. Let sit for 10 minutes. 3. Wash multiple times (will still leave oily residue on hair for a couple days, ju...

   Your Nursing Practice Act and BON will tell/ let you sift through the massive amounts of information to help you determine everything you can and cannot do as a nurse, in an entrepreneur endeavor. Then your individual state agencies will also have th...

4. Another dreaded head lice post. This one's about treatment.

   bendyprissy replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

   One bottle of liquid Campho-phenique saturating the scalp and hair, wrapped in a towel, sit for 30 minutes, and then wash out several times. The oily residue will remain for a couple days but keep washing it. Repeat in 2 weeks. No more lice!

   I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section but I didn't know where else to post it. I have been researching for 3 days and cannot find a viable documented source as to whether Influenza A is anaerobic or aerobic. Does anyone know? I am leanin...

   The Small Business Administration has a business plan template if you register with them for free. They have free mentors & coaches for people trying to start up a business. Great resource.

8. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   bendyprissy replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   You would think that with a group of "moral, adult, professionals" you could get passionate, noncatfights, but like I said...it's Jerry Springer time! Woot! Woot! Ha ha.

9. Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

   bendyprissy replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Man did you stir up a hornets nest. I knew it would which is why I read the posts so I could see THE CLAWS COME OUT! And never fail, they did! It's like listening to a conservative talk radio show. Or it's like watching Jerry Springer. Ha ha. If only...

10. Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    bendyprissy replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a Med/Surg RN but wanted to give my personal experience on the issue. When I had my son 22 years ago it was THE most awful experience of my life! After 23 hours of labor, including 4 hours of pushing baby & 1.5 hours of pushing placenta...I ...

12. How do you like your job?

    bendyprissy replied to Queen2u's topic in Public/Community

    I have a question. Where do you find the PHN jobs, seriously? I looked at the Harris County Health Department, as I am near Houston, and the only "1" job for nursing was for an LVN. I find it very hard to believe that there is only one job for nursin...

13. What would you have done?

    bendyprissy replied to bendyprissy's topic in Safety

    Thank you all so much for your advice and I would do it the same all over again! It's just so frustrating when every word during orientation for ALL places in general is such BS. I had been going through their "month long" orientation process where t...

14. What would you have done?

    bendyprissy replied to bendyprissy's topic in Safety

    That is fantastic advice! Man I wish I would have thought about that! Unfortunately I can no longer add notes after the 24 hour mark has passed but you can bet that will be my note if and when this happens again!
