  1. To Hospice nurses...

    mandana replied to mandana's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That's just the point - we're all OK because of hospice care. It was time, and the way his life ended was, quite honestly, beautiful. No one could have changed the ultimate outcome, but he was able...

  2. My Immediate Supervisor wants me gone!

    mandana replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    My honest opinion is that you should probably move on. Unless you have extremely important and valuable relationships with the other people in the office, it's just not worth the energy to be in a...

  3. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    mandana replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    Jerry - your post is really funny, and right on. I have given birth twice lady partslly, but after seeing it for the first time this week, the first thing I asked my husband when I got home was, "Uh,...

  4. Managing Perceptions (male nurse/student in OB)

    mandana replied to Works2xs's topic in General Nursing

    I just witnessed what the OP was referring to in the most clear way imaginable. Just finished L/D and have several males in my class. One nurse took one male, one nurse took another male. Nurse A...

  5. meds

    mandana replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Can I piggyback a sort-of similar question onto your thread?! What about fluid boluses. How do you know how much to give? Say a 500 cc bolus - do you just learn who can handle this and who can't...

  6. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    mandana replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So I just finished my last day in L/D. It was pretty wonderful and I think I experienced a bunch in three short days. I saw a c-section (planned), three vag births and a blood patch. It's funny - I...

  7. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    mandana replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much! What you said is pretty much what I expected to hear (it's definitely the way I'd see things if I were the nurse) but it seems that my instructors expectations are very different....

  8. New OB Nurses, Grads and Students, Please Feel Free to post your questions here:

    mandana replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How strange that this was posted today and I read the WHOLE thread looking for this type of info. My L/D clinical is this week and its only three days long - very busy hospital, should be a good...

  9. Internet Porn at work-need advice

    mandana replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    In the case of my coworker, it (Media) became an addiction. I even think that he got some sort of weird extra thrill from looking at it at work. Sort of like the thrill of potentially getting caught...

  10. Internet Porn at work-need advice

    mandana replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I can't beleive I can say this honestly, but I can. I have been in almost the exact situation. Different industry, and the offender WAS our computer guru and I did get the offender fired. I felt awful...

  11. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

    mandana replied to IMA's topic in General Nursing

    I really love this post. Not only is it very, very funny, I think there is some really great advice here as well, and I suspect you've hit the nail on the head in regards to where the crush starts....

  12. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    mandana replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    OK, here's my last post on the subject, and I'm only going here because I want you to know that I wasn't quoting you when I said the bit about it not seeming to be a tenet that they hold dear. It was...

  13. RN mama schedules

    mandana replied to maggijo's topic in General Nursing

    I also want some information from you on this! How did you find that 4th day, or the 1st day off? Was it tough for you to get back into a more "normal" daytime routine on your off days?? I'm naturally...

  14. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    mandana replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it started to come back in style in the 70's. I was also born in the 70's and was bottlefed, but it seems to be about 50/50 among my friends of the same/similar ages. As for the original...

  15. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    mandana replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    Of course we can! Or, it might also be because: And just for the record, I never misquoted you. In fact, I wasn't posting to you at all - I was posting in regards to the mercury issue brought up...

  16. ADN or BSN please read before you flame

    mandana replied to tankandroxy's topic in General Nursing

    This is my plan. Get the job and some experience first. Once I have "RN" after my name, I'll be able to do almost all my BSN work online.

  17. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    mandana replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I just read the entire CAN website, and there's nothing there that makes me think it's a tenet they hold dear. And since DAN was formed on that premise (in your words), they certainly can't be...

  18. Soy vs. Cow's Milk-Based Formula

    mandana replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    mandana replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    The mercury amalgam link has been researched extensively with good, hard, credible scientific studies. www.doctorspiller.com/mercury.htm is pretty comprehensive. The Austism Society of America...

  20. Adolescent Pregnancy = Developmental Delay or Acceleration???

    mandana replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You bring up some really interesting points. I don't have any answers for you, and only one friend that fits the bill. She actually really flourished with teenage motherhood - completed high school,...

  21. FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    mandana replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    i know what you mean, trying to find good information on crop circles is almost impossible! which made me think, hmmmm.....maybe since all the info on crop circles is crazy, maybe crop circles...

  22. Reaction to MMR vaccine?

    mandana replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    My son got "measles" after his MMR. The rxn was several days - 7 or so - after the shot, so it wasn't even on my radar. Rash most noticeable on torso and arms/legs after 1 day on torso. Small,...

  23. Friend needs to see MD, do you tell them?

    mandana posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all - I really need advice. Twice in the last week I've been around people - friends but not super close friends - who obviously need to seek medical treatment for something and I don't know how...

  24. hard to find job in austin hospital?

    mandana replied to Tonita's topic in Texas Nursing

    Really CG? Just show up to the department of choice? I'm still hopeful about a future with SMC, but I haven't been pursuing employment yet. Hope you're doing well!

  25. Friend needs to see MD, do you tell them?

    mandana replied to mandana's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone a bunch. I'm stunned at such a huge consensus. Relieved, but surprised. I just kept thinking that if I didn't mention it, and it did turn out to be something, I'd really hate myself....
