    Ever had a family overdramatic with dying patient?

    SharonH, RN replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    If one of my parents, children etc. died I think I would have the exact same reaction. I think it's the one time you're allowed to act out. Grief is so personal, I don't see how someone's reaction...

    An upsetting fetal death

    SharonH, RN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sure that was a difficult experience and you are right about the lack of education. Unfortunately, so much of it is politicized, beginning with basic sex education all the way up to childbirth...

    SharonH, RN replied to midwife2b's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I don't work in L&D so I have never worked with a CNM, however my first child was delivered with midwives. It was interesting because during the first half of my pregnancy I was being seen at a...

    How Many is Too Many

    SharonH, RN replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw quite an interesting documentary on rumspringa. In fact, many of the adolescents return to the Amish faith for two reasons: 1)Because they have never been exposed to a different way of life for...

    How Many is Too Many

    SharonH, RN replied to Fiona59's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with your thoughts completely. I didn't see the show on The View, I saw the one on TLC. I thouht how unfair it was that each of the older kids were paired with a younger one who was THEIR...

    SharonH, RN replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    What a creepy story. They've possibly 4 biological children out there in the world they know nothing about and they lugged this one around as a frozen embryo for 13 years. I hope this industry is...

    Britney demanding background checks for her L&D nurses..

    SharonH, RN replied to Peachy720's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't real all the replies to this topic but I'm wondering why Ms. Britney doesn't just engage private-duty nurses to "serve" her. She can certainly afford

    Racism in nursing

    SharonH, RN replied to KCIN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well there is definitely racism in nursing, I have experienced it quite a bit especially when I was a nurse tech during my college years. However, I would never let it drive me out, why give someone...

    Who is your Favorite TV or Movie nurse?

    SharonH, RN replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    That nurse was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and he took time to teach the mother about her son's condition; just like a real nurse.

    Patient Taking Own Meds

    SharonH, RN replied to medicrnohio's topic in General Nursing

    Your facility needs a protocol to deal with this type of situation, otherwise they are asking for trouble. Your charge nurse states this happens all the time. Well when a patient is inevitably...

    Please help new grad - situation with pt (long)

    SharonH, RN replied to mstigerlily's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your director is a jerk. The physician and two more experienced nurses assessed the patient and walked away, why is she/he holding your feet to the fire? I honestly don't think you could have done...

    SharonH, RN replied to traumaRUs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Last semester, I worked 2 days a week, did clinicals 2 days and went to class 1 day a week. Since my job is a Mon-Fri, I did not have the option to work weekends. I found that this was very...

    MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    SharonH, RN replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't this the truth? I've had 3 patients before and been totally blown away, sometimes they can be worse than 10(and I've had as many as 15 patients on my team before). I have also worked a surgical...

    Is being a nurse ever boring?

    SharonH, RN replied to brazuca's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Yes, saying "It's slow" is always a bad idea. You will pay dearly for saying that. I'm glad you learned your lesson.

    Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    SharonH, RN replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    So very, very, very true Deb. While I have come out on record as saying that I adore Tom Cruise, that adoration refers to his acting and movies only. I don't follow his personal life all that closely...

    Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    SharonH, RN replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely true. By strict definition, almost all religions have characteristics of a cult. So no one can point fingers at anyone else's

    Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    SharonH, RN replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to respect everyone's opinions here......but this is getting ridiculous. It's very absurd how people can just make up theories and then find the "proof" to justify those theories. We don't...

    Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    SharonH, RN replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Caroladybelle and katyosu2006 completely. Regardless of your feelings about Tom Cruise, none of you have the right to label his religion as a cult or declare it

    Too Many Crabby Nurses!!

    SharonH, RN replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that after almost 15 years of nursing that a lot of times, bad attitudes and what you perceive as "crabbiness" is often due to fear. Fear of making a mistake, fear of hurting someone,...

    8 hour evening shifts?

    SharonH, RN replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    For a long time, I worked 3-11 and loved it. I am a late night person who likes to sleep in so that worked well for me. However I did find that I could not get a lot done in the mornings, by the time...

    Accused of Racism!

    SharonH, RN replied to yaddadoit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
