  1. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In some states, I believe "stretched out lady parts" is grounds alone for divorce. :icon_roll

  2. Watery Brown Discharge

    Blee O'Myacin replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What if it's a fistula? Also, it could just be a wonky period - can't really say for sure without a full exam! Glad you referred her to her PMD.

  3. SOOO over it!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh... the last semester slump. I remember it well. Do what needs to get done and focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. You are almost there and I promise you that it will get better. Hang...

  4. What's everyone's definition of Natural Childbirth?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd say that any time a human mother gives birth to a human child, no matter the level of intervention or the mode of delivery (vag vs. section) to be "natural". I think that a lot of people get hung...

  5. patient took my breath away

    Blee O'Myacin replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    You have to report it in writing. Telling your manager is just that. There needs to be written documentation so that safety standards can be improved. Take care of yourself first, otherwise you...

  6. Any cunning plans for someone fed up with nursing??

    Blee O'Myacin replied to nat321975's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be a florist. High end. I kiss behinds every day, I might as well stay clean. I figure that well to do "Bridezillas" have nothing on an irate family member who feels entitled to an...

  7. Rules of Nursing "Office Politics"

    Blee O'Myacin replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Never let issues fester. Confront things head on before they get out of hand. Always help your coworkers out. Karma can be a good thing. Don't be a martyr. No one will respect you. Don't ever...

  8. Waiting 7 hours for an appointment

    Blee O'Myacin replied to pyunnyhana's topic in General Nursing

    I snipped some of this post because I need to stop you here. I am sorry that you had a bleeding laceration and you were asked by the greeter to sign in - perhaps he didn't notice due to the 100 other...

  9. Why Is The ED Such A Pain?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I had a really long post that I just deleted. I had a rough day and it's not your fault. But we don't give the sip of water because we can't, all patients are NPO in the ER until all testing is...

  10. Why do people think the hospital is like the Holiday Inn Express?!!! LONG...

    Blee O'Myacin replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    Holiday Inn Express?!?! I wish... people in these parts think I'm the concierge at the Ritz-Carlton!! My favorite question to some of these types of patients is: "How do you do this at home?" And if...

  11. Nursing hypochondriasis

    Blee O'Myacin replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    So did you measure your own QT interval and see what your T wave abnomality was, or are you diagnosing yourself based on the interpretation of your EKG by the EKG machine? The diagnostic tool on the...

  12. Being a patient, your opinions

    Blee O'Myacin replied to BeachBayNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Having had cancer 8 years before even starting nursing school, I had logged plenty of hours in the hospital already. When it came time for me to reenter the workforce after my children went to school...

  13. I need help.. please

    Blee O'Myacin replied to nilliemami's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't get into a long story like that when interviewing. Simply stating that it was too long of a commute is all that is necessary. I never mention my family when interviewing. I wouldn't want...

  14. Anyone have ER techs that work?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to wpz6660's topic in Emergency

    Wow. I have not encountered that. Our techs work their butts off and I could not do my job without them. Our nurse turnover is huge, but many of the techs have been there for years. Not to mention...

  15. ERs fail as the nation's safety net

    Blee O'Myacin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Or how about the patient who comes in directly from the doc's office with a scrip in hand that is requesting a lipid profile, a HgA1C, a CT scan and a 2D carotid doppler to be performed by the ER...

  16. Salary.com description of RNs

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe one needs to be written by actual nurses. Any suggestions?

  17. "You can't return to work until you're afebrile for 24 hours!"

    Blee O'Myacin replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you feel better soon. Sick with a doctor's note, not being allowed to work until afebrile for 24 hours, means just that. No one can fire you for that. If there's any doubt, have your doc's...

  18. What I call a "hot mess"

    Blee O'Myacin replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    You sound very stressed out. I think that you need to take a few deep breaths after getting your assignment, then ask yourself, "what do I need to do now? An hour from now? At 10am?" and then plan...

  19. Advice ER nurses...please

    Blee O'Myacin replied to texaschic888's topic in Emergency

    med-surg experience is fantastic, but i know that my boss would rather hire an experienced critical care nurse over a nurse with med-surg experience. so if your heart is in the er, you might as well...

  20. Insensitive Nurses

    Blee O'Myacin replied to tatarn2b2007's topic in General Nursing

    So, you are upset because your coworkers compromised patient care by venting to one another in a way that you wouldn't? Or did you feel somehow mocked by them pretending to "shed tears" over an issue...

  21. need advice from experienced nurses....

    Blee O'Myacin replied to rubenrhonda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi Rhonda - If you can, why not have a hematologist/oncologist consult in the US? Unfortunately, you'd be paying cash since you are going out of the country. I can't say anything about the decisions...

  22. Anyone take the NCLEX without a classroom review?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to guineachick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I relied heavily on the cd-rom that came with my NCLEX review book. I just took a lot of practice tests, determine my weaknesses and concentrated on those types of questions. I studied for about two...

  23. Why do hospitals still have day/night rotations?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to edogs334's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a place that made us rotate in the same week. It was impossible to have any type of life other than working or sleeping - I also had three young children at the time and was lured into a...

  24. Wow

    Blee O'Myacin replied to dream'n's topic in Emergency

  25. i'm a RN

    Blee O'Myacin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I usually chart the conversation verbatim, quotation marks included if a patient or family member is out of line. I hate having to do things like that that, but I'd hate to have a patient's family...
