  1. What is...

    miss_fit replied to NeuChrisRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    "Snowing"...

  2. male nurses in OB

    miss_fit replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    OK, since I've already put 2 cents in... I'll risk adding one more. The emotionally-charged word "prejudice", and comparisons to race in this context is a shallow tactic typical of online debate. If...

  3. male nurses in OB

    miss_fit replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Leslie. :icon_hug: I've read your posts for a long time and I hope you know that nurses like you are the kind patients remember forever, with a gratitude that ...words cannot describe....

  4. male nurses in OB

    miss_fit replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    First, I have adored many male nurses. My hero is one. I also think it is fine to hire them for OB/gyn, as long as you make sure there are enough female nurses to give a pt a choice. And, the choice...

  5. PA/NP to MD Bridge??

    miss_fit replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm with you, papadoc, 100%. Well put.

  6. PA/NP to MD Bridge??

    miss_fit replied to Joebird21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are ya saying it's like wanting to be a Marine or Navy Seal without going through boot camp to prove yourself, papa? I would have to agree, especially with the NP being attainable through...

  7. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    miss_fit replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I'm only hoping that if nurses assertively and continuously approached hospitals and the public with an organized and united message in those terms, that management will be forced to...

  8. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    miss_fit replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    yes. and i think it's an important topic in itself. i see a lot of nurses angry about hospital management pushing for more "customer service" orientation. first, i completely agree that there is a...

  9. Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    miss_fit replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's good nursing!

  10. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    miss_fit replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    i think the dept of labor statistics page is way off (low) on the hourly wages for hygienists, at least in the areas i'm familiar with. it may be related to the footnote that states: "hourly wage...

  11. Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    miss_fit replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Bethin, I think you have the coolest avatar/pic I've ever

  12. Advice, please.

    miss_fit replied to FLoridarnl's topic in General Nursing

    90/50 is typical for me, and it gets lower when I'm ill. I can't count the times they've retaken it, or the md insisted on re-checking it himself. Amuses us when he gets the same reading. My only...

  13. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    miss_fit replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    I had full benefits (health insurance, 401k) in offices where I worked full-time. (In dentistry, full-time is usually 4 days a week.) On the other hand, I also had a few years where I preferred...

  14. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    miss_fit replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

    yes. even doing much more than "scraping teeth", it gets very monotonous. i did 4 long years of perio (gums). then i tried pedo, some travel, and general in a wonderful family practice. i adored my...

  15. Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    miss_fit replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, some of the referenced situations are very dangerous indeed, and some patients and visitors are very careless and rude. But I have to say that, as a pt myself, it was very upsetting to have...

  16. ER Treatment

    miss_fit replied to Caligurl's topic in Emergency

    Oh, my, foto. That sounds truly awful! I'd just never heard a bad report in over a decade of practice, so assumed it was a wonderful and safe alternative for those who had the time. I guess it does...

  17. Pt refused to leave!

    miss_fit replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! It's because I loved my nurses so much, that I'm hoping to go into L&D nursing, myself. Pray for me, ok?

  18. Pt refused to leave!

    miss_fit replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :chair: Oops! lol I didn't bring sheets, but my husband brought us (and the nurses, a few times) snacks and take-out. Hospital foot was indeed bland. I always buy myself a new gown and robe to wear...

  19. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    miss_fit replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how things would be different if they were both

  20. ER Treatment

    miss_fit replied to Caligurl's topic in Emergency

    As a dental hygienist, my experience has been that dentists don't like to fix other dentists' problems (as unfair as that can be to the pt). With you in the midst of a root-canal (I assume he ran into...

  21. Im sorry, but light stomachs please do not read!

    miss_fit replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    If the kid did this at a time when it was considered a mild thing, it wouldn't be such a signal. Just like not wearing a seatbelt, drinking and driving, animal abuse, and even "date rape": When your...

  22. Im sorry, but light stomachs please do not read!

    miss_fit replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    Urine is not always sterile. Urinary tract infections are one example... But even if his was, would anyone think it less than assault if they were force-fed freshly-autoclaved and sterile feces?...

  23. How would you handle this and what is your opinion?

    miss_fit replied to Nutmeg5575's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you all. Even if she knew the whole story, which she didn't, that was just wrong. And she made it a medically more risky procedure. (moving target, changing his VS, etc.) The nurses who...
