    How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    iteachob replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Better Option: Pregnant in nursing school/after

    iteachob replied to Pa0428's topic in General Nursing

    Just my two cents, but I see many students STRUGGLE with nursing school (undergraduate) while pregnant....for various reasons. It's not something I'd recommend; people do it, though. On the other...

    iteachob replied to leo82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How did you/would you (OB nurses) handle your own hospital birth?

    iteachob replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work at the hospital where I delivered, but I am an OB nursing professor and also do clinical teaching, so they know me well at the hospital. I wasn't treated any differently than anyone...

    morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    iteachob replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    The allergy should be clarified as to type of reaction. Morphine, because it is a natural opiate, WILL cause histamine release.....hence the itching that is so common (but not a true allergy...

    iteachob replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I currently have 6 male students in my OB course. I find that the persons I have problems with (if I have any) are the husbands/boyfriends of the patients, not the patients themselves. Sometimes the...

    Older Editions

    Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    iteachob replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    This is why Kentucky requires 120 hours of internship (i.e. practice), above and beyond clinical in school, before a new grad can be licensed......just so this scenario won't happen. Maybe more...
