  1. Semi-private

    JeanettePNP replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I see from your profile that you are only 44. I was sure you were describing something out of the 50s. I can't believe that hospitals were still like this in the

  2. Families, are they getting more demanding?

    JeanettePNP replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you need to be distressed. You know what you need to know as a nurse. You aren't required or expected to be an expert in every disease process known to man. If patients have questions...

  3. Hospital vs Hotel

    JeanettePNP replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I also noticed that on their main page, two prominent links at the top pointed to "weight loss surgery" and "bariatric support." Seems that this hospital caters to people with the budgets to afford...

  4. Have you ever done CPR off duty?

    JeanettePNP replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

  5. Hospital vs Hotel

    JeanettePNP replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Full day CPR course--what to expect

  7. rules for student nurses

    JeanettePNP replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, going to clinicals on no sleep sounds like a great preparation. NOT! I say give it your best shot to be prepared (not leaving it all to the last minute might help) but being well-rested trumps...

  8. Full day CPR course--what to expect

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much Stacey, your post was exactly what I wanted to know. I really wish I had known to use American Heart Association before signing up with Red Cross. It would have been just as easy to...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'll make sure to wear a loose fitting

  10. Full day CPR course--what to expect

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Oh well, I'm not going to be applying to nursing school for another year or two at least, so I will probably have to repeat the class anyway since I think the CPR certification needs to be

  11. Full day CPR course--what to expect

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing it to apply for nursing school. I had no idea that not all CPR courses are acceptable! I really hope this is good since the fee is

  12. Uninsured=financial ruin

    JeanettePNP replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is a general disdain for people who do underhanded things like that, or work off the books and hide income to qualify for government help. But sometimes it comes down to doing what you gotta do...

  13. Uninsured=financial ruin

    JeanettePNP replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    how do you explain medicaid then? don't confuse the issue. the problem is not that only rich people can afford health care. the problem is that we punish the hardworking low-wage earner while...

  14. Would you ever be a doctor?

    JeanettePNP replied to arizonanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those who said that nurses are not simply those who were too dumb to be doctors. I took some of my pre-reqs with pre-med students and did as well or better than them, so I certainly...

  15. midwife vs. ob/gyn

    JeanettePNP replied to maggijo's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I used a MW for all five of my pregnancies. KellNY's post basically covers the reasons why I chose a CNM rather than an OB. I will say though that there are significant differences among MW's...

  16. Information on a skin cream

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I discovered the magic ingredient--it's petroleum jelly! I had used up the original cream the dr. prescribed, which did not come in a tube but in a pharmacy container. I asked for a refill and was...

  17. Information on a skin cream

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    My son uses a prescription skin cream for his eczema called C-Polysorb-Petrolatum. It is literally a miracle cream. His skin might be raw and cracked, and after using the cream, literally overnight,...

  18. Miracles we have seen

    JeanettePNP replied to Laught3r's topic in General Nursing

    My dh had a miracle... He fell asleep on the interstate, veered off the road, car flipped over and was totaled. He walked away with just a few scratches; not a single bone broken, did not even...

  20. High school transcripts (RANT!)

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't live in the same state where I went to HS. I could ask my parents to take care of it for me but they both work during the day and the school is closed by the time they're off. I also...

  21. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    JeanettePNP replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Where were you taught this? The practice was to baptize first, ask questions

  22. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    JeanettePNP replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    This is OT but I've met a number of families like this. It's cool that they still have memories of their Jewish heritage even though so many generations have

  23. ICU to ED?

    JeanettePNP replied to CaliRN29's topic in Emergency

    So how do you know? Instinct? Experience?

  24. High school transcripts (RANT!)

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's the annoying part: The application checklist clearly states that they need a High School Diploma OR an official transcript. So, after I bring in the diploma (a week later) they tell me, no,...

  25. Most RN's first borns?

    JeanettePNP replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Statistically firstborns are more common than any other family placement. Simple math. Every family that has a child has a firstborn. Not everyone has a second child, and even fewer families have...
