  1. What is this called? (stupid question)

    mommy2boys replied to mommy2boys's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Kinda, but I thought sitz baths weren't attached to the wall. Aren't they a bottle w/ a squirt nozzle on top that you used over the toliet. This is attached to the wall that you use over the toliet....

  2. bottle vs breast feeding

    mommy2boys replied to evansj2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Slightly off topic, but I am of the opinion that once a baby is started on the bottle, it takes a very resilient mother to get it to take breast. Anyone seen a successful breastfeeding AFTER the...

  3. Inappropriate ER doc?

    mommy2boys replied to elizabells's topic in Emergency

  7. Free supplies for doctors

    mommy2boys replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the doctor doesn't want to stock/clean a suture removal kit in their office. I think that this doctor doesn't want to pay for this kit themselves. It all comes down to them saving...

    mommy2boys replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    mommy2boys replied to geekgolightly's topic in California Nursing
