We had to put the patient back in the bed take off the prosthesis and measure him. When we were doing this the family of the patient got very upset as in their culture people are measured like this only when they are dead for the coffin

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. I am a rehab nurse too and I am looking forward to learning lots of things from you. God bless you

What is the correct way of checking the height of a double amputee? Do we have to measure him with the prosthesis? Or does it have to be from head to the end of the amputation?

i am a new RN since February. I was already working as LPN in a nursing home and continued as RN at the same place. All my class mates (Fresh Graduates) are working in hospitals and other acute care facilities. Most of them look down on me when I say that I am working in a nursing home. They feel that nursing homes is meant for nurses who get burnt out, or at the *** end of their career. They feel I cannot get the assessment skills and other technical skills if I am working in a nursing home. Sometimes I feel, all I do is passing meds and applying creams on butts. My friends feel I am wasted in the nursing home. The only reason I am working in a nursing home is that I have been offered Morning shift. It works out perfectly as I can be home with my kids when they come back from school. All the hospitals I applied for, offer only Night or PM shifts. I feel that I am missing out a lot as nursing experience. I can only work PM or Night shifts when my kids are at college. My youngest child is 9 years old. SO by the time I am out of the nursing home job market, I feel I may not cope in acute care settings as I may not have skills in coping with the different nursing skills I need desperate advice from my fellow nurses. Please help me:cry:

i am sorry i dont have the wrong idea about saudi you have.Wake up and smell the coffee. What is the use of being secure but not free. Their treatment of non-white, non-arab expatriates is well known. For the same jobs, based on race and nationality, workers are paid differently. And you would be lying if you said thats untrue. Islam teaches equality. I have seen everywhere except in saudi. If a non-arab is killed in an accident, his death compensation is far less than an arab one. Better to be a slave in heaven than a king in hell.

i am a muslim and let me tell you that what they practice in Saudi is not islam. Those guys are giving a bad name to islam. I would say that whatever they practice is not islam and everybody thinks that saudi is the centre of islam. believe me its not. i lived in saudi for a while and used to hate it there. the other middle east countries are better. the saudis are the worst muslims( if they can be called muslims). If i as a muslim felt so suffocated, i wonder how others felt.

you are right when you say that people have suffered due to their heritage. specially now-a-days due to the media sterotyping, many people are prejudiced.
-
thank you very much for putting it so nicely. i will keep your advice in mind.

a lot of patients are curious about my ethnic background. how to respond?
-
what is the best way to respond to patients who ask about your ethnicity. i am a very private person. i have an accent but am trying my best to assimilate. what is the best way to not answer the question and also not appear rude?

another good idea for episiotomy would be to fill the bath tub with warm water and a few drops of antispectic solution in it and sit in it for sometime. it did wonders for me
