1. 17 teens make pregnancy pact

   runningfool replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Actually, there was no pregnancy pact. The principal lied. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5227335&page=1

2. How is MO???

   runningfool replied to mamamia's topic in Missouri

   I know what I'm about to post isn't going to be popular and it's not a personal comment to you or anyone else, but geez I don't like when people say this! I don't care if people move here and I'm not telling anyone to not move here because this is a ...

3. Is there power in the color white?

   runningfool replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

   As casualjim said, I'm not yet qualified to talk about power and problems in nursing, but in my humble opinion I wouldn't say it's power. You're just conforming to how people think you should be or look and it makes them more comfortable to have you ...

4. Plan B

   runningfool replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   I'm baffled by people who think this would be abused considering plan b makes you cramp and have a period. I don't know any little girls or women who want to be flowing and cramping 24/7! I'm sure there could be a very, very, very small minority of e...

5. Plan B

   runningfool replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

   A few things here: 1) It seems to me that alot of women who are pro-choice don't have an opinion on what other women should do or not do with their bodies because they want other women to have a choice even if it's a choice they wouldn't make for t...

6. Male Nurses/female Patients

   runningfool replied to ern91's topic in Men

   Many women - not just older women - don't want any man except the one they love and trust (their husband) to see them. As mentioned earlier, many women have religious beliefs about having a male doctor or nurse. And lets not forget that 1 in 4 women ...

7. Andrea Yates R.N.

   runningfool replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

   http://www.courttv.com/trials/yates/docs/psychiatric1.html I think this is interesting to read, if anyone cares.

8. Help!! I need free nursing journal articles

   runningfool replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Students

   I don't know if you're in school or of you work for a hospital, but most hospitals have small libraries in them for the doctors and nurses. If you're still in school, try your school library. If you're not affiliated with any libraries (school or hos...

9. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

   runningfool replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

   Is it really that weird or confusing that someone who was just violated and brutalized by a man doesn't want to be touched - in the same area- by another one immediately afterwards? And the wrong kind of touch could make things worse for her emotiona...

10. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in Missouri

    I'm repeating what the staff told us today at orientation. It's not a rumor. Like I said, I'll scan the letter for anyone who wants to read it. I'm sure the program will survive too because of the changes they made, but they did want us to know there...

11. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in Missouri

    Actually, I just got back from orientation and there is a chance the online program is going to eliminated due to poor pass rates. They're hopeful that it won't be because of the changes they've made, but they won't really find out until after the he...

12. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in Missouri

    I'm starting this January. I have to ask you this, have you had any registration problems?

13. Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

    runningfool replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I say the same thing you do. I, too, feel insulted when someone tells me I look much younger than I am. How would they feel if I asked "Well, how old are you? Really?! You look MUCH older!" They'd be so insulted and yet I'm supposed to take it as a ...

14. Money Hungry Patients

    runningfool replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, The McDonalds case isn't as frivolous as the media and general public make it out to be. I said the same thing you did before we discussed this case in my trial and litagation class. McDonalds had a policy to heat their coffee to a scalding...

15. Blood in Urine

    runningfool replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Urinary tract infection? I had one a few weeks ago. I didn't see any blood, but my doctor said there was blood in my urine.
