  1. Nursing Instructors who are hard, pick on you, or are impossible to deal with

    JeanettePNP replied to Town & Country's topic in General Students

    So are you saying the best approach is just not to take it personally? I haven't started nursing school yet but when I do, I want to be prepared if I do encounter a nasty instructor. I understand...

  2. Nursing Instructors who are hard, pick on you, or are impossible to deal with

    JeanettePNP replied to Town & Country's topic in General Students

    So, what are the options? What is the best way to handle it if an instructor/co-worker/nurse/doctor starts verbally abusing you? Act submissive and take it? Burst into tears? Apologize? Yell back?...

    Interesting, Palesarah. I'm a pretty committed bf mom and grew up watching my mom bf'ing my younger siblings, but I still had difficulties with latch etc and I don't think it was all in my

  6. bottle vs breast feeding

    JeanettePNP replied to evansj2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My firstborn was given formula in the nursery. The nurse woke me in middle of the night to tell me he had not yet had a bm and he needed to eat. I was too groggy to refuse. He drank almost a full...

    JeanettePNP replied to evansj2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have given birth 5 times, completely natural, last 2 at home, and I have never been able to nurse successfully in the first hour, no matter how hard I tried. The baby was always too sleepy to get a...

    Anyone know what is in the cabbage leaves that makes that effect? I've also used them for engorgement and it was very effective. [oops, posted before finishing the

  9. Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

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

    Thanks for enlightening me! So, if I'm not yet in nursing school but will start pre-reqs in the fall, am I wasting my time by reading A&P and nursing textbooks? Will it all fly out of my head by...

  10. Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

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

    I still don't get how it can be 10 chapters a night. How many chapters does the book have altogether? How many books are you expected to get through in one course? What's the duration of the...

  11. Psych Nurse ="not a REAL nurse"?

    JeanettePNP replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Bertita, your story reminds me of when I went to see a social worker because of some problems my then 5yo son was having in school. I decided to disclose my psych history only to give her some...

    Does your hospital allow lady partsl breech delivery? Have you ever observed/participated/assisted in a lady partsl breech? How is the setup for a lady partsl breech different from a regular...

  14. Psych Nurse ="not a REAL nurse"?

    JeanettePNP replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking about this a little more and I realize what bothers me about "orienting to reality". Mental health is about functioning, not mind control. A person can have all sorts of bizarre...

  15. Forced cheerfulness a hazard to your health

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that was the point. The point was that it's very frustrating and could be harmful when you constantly have to put up with everyone else's cr*p with a smile. Maybe some assertiveness...

  16. Psych Nurse ="not a REAL nurse"?

    JeanettePNP replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie, I'm not sure that "orienting to reality" is an approach that's carved in stone. At least I hope it's not and will be put to the research test. I think it can be unnecessarily frustrating on...

  19. Why can't doctors just "TELL" their patients the TRUTH!?!

    JeanettePNP replied to MrsStraty's topic in Oncology

    What is SO? These stories are making me cry.... My dh lost 2 close relatives to ALS, one in the last year. ALS is nothing like cancer but in the sense of being an incurable disease. I know well the...

  25. Safe Pt Ratios for Med Surg

    JeanettePNP replied to MedSurgeMess's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This is something I don't understand. For schools and daycare, there are laws about the adult/child ratio - something like 1 adult per 6 children. Why aren't there similar laws for nursing? Is it...
