  1. Dialysis patients who are incontinent

    KyPinkRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    :redlight: Xrays and MRI's can hardly be compared to dialysis. If a patient soils themselves in x-ray they are not going to have to sit in it for four

  2. How do you deal with lazy nurses??

    KyPinkRN replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire discrimination n 1: unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice [syn: favoritism, favouritism] i tried to resist responding to...

  3. Please Tell Me What You Think

    KyPinkRN replied to brown eyed girl's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, and its not only in nursing... my husband is currently looking for work and practically every ad in the newspaper is like that... or a temporary service but that is a whole different...

  4. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    The big debate on this thread is which is BEST... in this case bottle feeding would be BETTER than BF. Whether we like it or not these people do become parents and they have to feed their babies too....

  5. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I am very glad to hear that your son is so healthy... good for you for giving him the best nutrition that you can. That being said, one case does not prove the rule. I am sure there are an equal...

  6. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    .Just because I don't blindly believe in every study I read doesn't make my argument any less thoughtful. I have never said that breastmilk isn't the best... I said it is not for everyone and is...

  7. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I am thinking about what you are saying... I just don't agree! You can point out all the studies you want to but that doesn't say much to me, just that you are an easy sell. I have said it before and...

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

  9. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Bottlefeeding is not UNHEALTHY!!! It is merely a different form of nutrition. I don't believe we should "counsel" any mother into a choice that she feels guilted into. Whether you want to believe it...

  10. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    See my previous post about socioeconomics and infection, Diabetes and Obesity... I will say it again... you can not blame all of these things on failure to breast

    KyPinkRN replied to mcmike55's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I live right across the river from Cincinnati, in No. KY and I have to add my Skyline chilli is the BEST!! I ate it everyday when I was preggers. I guess since I grew up here I never really...

  12. Breastfeed or else

    KyPinkRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this is just another "cause" scienctists and polititians take up to intimidate people. I was not a breast fed baby, and I tried very hard to breastfeed my own daugther without sucess. My...

  15. Finished Nursing School on Friday...marriage is toast

    KyPinkRN replied to Gaelic's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are missing what the people in these posts are trying to tell you. Your husband is human just like you and he needs your support-- not getting his slippers--but your emotional support as...

  16. Calling in Sick

    KyPinkRN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I say next time you see said coworker heading off to the bar instead of going to work you tell your sup. These things do add up and people who call off frequently eventually hang themselves. Hang in...

  17. Calling in Sick

    KyPinkRN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire If you're complaining loudly when people call off you are creating a hostile work environment and invading their privacy even more than your employer. I'm sure people have good reason...

  18. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    KyPinkRN replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    I agree with you... and would like to add that just because a patient is a certain religion it doesn't mean that they always follow all the rules and practices of that religion. Some people are more...

  19. An ethical question.

    KyPinkRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    I will not be bantering back and forth with you like this... we aren't going to agree let's just leave it at that. Furthermore the point I am trying to bring home is that people who drink and drive...

  20. An ethical question.

    KyPinkRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, we shouldn't share info with everybody especially when it only affects our patients. The examples you gave are completely different in that they do not pose a direct threat to other...

  21. An ethical question.

    KyPinkRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion of HIPAA is that it is over inflated bureaucracy at its best. It protects people who least need protecting ie... drunk drivers, drug users. These people cause harm to our society every day...

  22. An ethical question.

    KyPinkRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify... I do not claim to know what's best for my patient by reporting her BAL to police. What I do want to assure by doing that is that she doesn't do it again. AND I DON'T CARE HOW YOU...

  23. An ethical question.

    KyPinkRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    What would you like to happen to this woman? Say for instance she gets back behind the wheel with 0.15 BAL... you or someone you know could be the next thing she runs into. I say good for your...

  24. Pt refused to leave!

    KyPinkRN replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I totally agree with you. I am caring and compassionate for all of my patients without prejudice, but in the back of my mind I know and have seen hundreds of cases where people work the system...
