1. Quick Question While I'm At Work

   rn4booboo replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   IF you have 5000cc of urine already in your bladder in no way does draining it have an issue of making you hypovolemic right? You have already processed this? I understand the spasm- yes- I understand that if you continually drain someone (ie: over h...

2. Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

   rn4booboo replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

   You just dated yourself- never watched the Jeffersons. Why such the uproar about honky? I am from Tx and if I feel like calling myself a backwoods barefoot honky white trash trailer chic, I think I am good to go. BTW, whomever said that they didn't ...

3. Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

   rn4booboo replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Seems like in my hospital as I am a white female, I am the minority. So how would you feel if I started up the "Honkey Nurses association?" I use to always think it was extremely idiotic when I was in college the black associations, hispanic, the gay...

4. What is the term for this condition?

   rn4booboo replied to Palpitations's topic in General Nursing

   When I read this thread I knew the name, Thank you because it fell out of my head like a rock. Co arcs and tof's will cause the same thing also. Had a kid with a coarc before and totally different. Yes- we only have one heart- but many pathways and ...

8. Can you believe this? 13yo and mom both pregnant

   rn4booboo replied to seanymph's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Who is the daddy? Were they perhaps the same- lots of times on a 13 yo there may be foulplay. Just a thought.....

9. Any hints for organization?

   rn4booboo posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a new grad going to work in the CCU and am worried- or wondering if anyone has any hints on really getting that organization down so that you don't want to pull your hair out? My LPN friend who is at another hospital said that she found a paper ...

10. What would you have done?

    rn4booboo replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    I agree- I really didn't see the big deal and would have possibly not batted an eye. There was no bag switching, and the patient B got half his dose- perhaps the doc will add another one later- Patient A got double the dose but only recieved half. W...

    rn4booboo replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    There is an inevitable housing crash coming Cali's way soon. Not that it will make things cheap (never LOL) but it may make it affordable. 2 years ago I bought my house and it is now worth close to 600,000. So wait till prices go down. Murrieta Dawn

14. From NICU TO NICU...

    rn4booboo posted a topic in NICU

    Seems like life has come full circle. I started nursing school due to the experience of my son who was a nicu baby. He was a 27 weeker and was pretty ill with brain bleeds galore and more. Long story short- I decied to become a nurse-NOT NICU-though...

15. ER last night made me mad!

    rn4booboo replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    But how come the part that made you angry was the asinine comment made by Weaver not the fact that the only other "core" nurse on the show was some dip running from her scary ex? Abby is from a psycoloicaly unsat family LOL, the other was a single m...
