1. Look, Ma, no diaper!

   Hardknox replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pediatric

   Looks like the parent is training themself, not the child. I think this mother's version of attachment parenting is to attach a potty to the kids bum from birth on. ITA witwh Dr. Brazelton's comments on this. The payoff for me was the pics in the Gl...

2. Want to work <4 wk strike contract - Help!

   Hardknox replied to DaisyRN, ACNP's topic in Agency

   Great pay, and I personally don't think it's 'scab' work because 1. The nurses that DO strike don't really want patients not to be cared for and 2. Strike nurses bleed corporate accounts to the bone and I believe bring them back to the table much qui...

9. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

   Hardknox replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

   Michael Shaivo has been made out to be the devil incarnate by many but I have no respect for the Schindlers. Mama can't visit Terri anymore--so overcome. Daddy is setting the hospice movement back many years with his comments. Now they are selling ...

10. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Hardknox replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    She's probably thinking--Dear God, could you please make those protesters be quiet and let me die in peace"! I am sure that is what the other families and patients at that hospice are thinking. Her family asked them to LEAVE! They've even had to clo...

    Where are you bleeding hearts on this issue? I totally agree with you, Unewmeb4! The banging drum all night, the chanting and wailing and now a bag piper. These"protesters" have no respect for Terri or any of the other hospice patients and familie...

    Welll Granny7, I wish we had gone to your hospital. Would you consider going to Burlington, MA to Leahy Medical Center and giving them lessons on how things should be done??

14. Calling family after surgery

    Hardknox posted a topic in Operating Room

    I've been a nurse since 1978. This is a new one on me. My 95 year old Dad fell and broke his hip Saturday. He was taken to the OR at 1:30PM yesterday. The Surgical Resident told us it would take 2-3 hours at best--Plate and srews going in--and th...

    Hardknox replied to Nurse Somebody's topic in General Nursing

    As a 66 year old who is very active and healthy I can tell you that when my daughter comes for my 16 month old grandaughter after a day of babysitting I am more than ready to say "bye-bye". I am exhausted! I am VERY happy that I had all my children...
