  1. Breastfeed or else

    Let alone that the comment is coming from a man; he will never have to actually experience all that brestfeeding entails. IMO, men have absolutely no place judging women when it comes to this. Come to...
  2. Reminiscing

    LOL! I went to school in the early 80s, and the pillowcase thing was hammered into us. I still do that, even at
  3. Well Patient Who Did Not Want to be Coded

    I may be wrong, but I think there are some circumstances that can override a DNR, and going to the OR is one of them. Maybe this varies from state to state/facility to facility, but at two of the...
  4. Well Patient Who Did Not Want to be Coded

    What is so unnatural about it? I feel the same way. Just because his thinking doesn't conform to yours doesn't mean it's wrong. I sure wouldn't want to be resuscitated, only to be a veg. I've always...

  7. Advantages of ENA membership?

    The educational benefits are worth it. Plus, their journals are both informative and readable, unlike the stuff the ANA trots out...zzzzz. I haven't worked in ED for a couple of years but I still...

  9. retaliation or just coincidence?

    Wow, I sure wouldn't do this. She's not Nancy Drew. If she isn't supposed to be there for a shift, then she shouldn't be there, period. Snooping around will be found out, one way or the
  10. Cussing Co-Workers

    let's see. jesus spent time with theives, prostitutes, etc. i'd be willing to bet their language was, eh, "colorful" at times. do you think he went around shushing them, giving them reproving looks,...

    I think the OP could find herself in trouble for violating HIPAA; she's revealed so many details that it would be very easy to identify/recognize the

  15. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    I also found the post offensive, as if "those Yankees" are just nasty people who can't possibly understand (literally and figuratively) someone from the south. And by saying "come on back to God's...
  16. retaliation or just coincidence?

    I can't understand why someone who reported a facility to OSHA for unsafe work conditions would then be upset about not being offered work there. If it's that bad, why would you want to keep working...

  22. Dear Abbey, about a nurse

    Here are the problems: 1. "The doctor needs to counsel his nurse...." Nurses are not a possession/do not belong to physicians. Totally inappropriate to word it that way. 2. There was no physician...
  23. Where have all the GOOD VEINS gone?

    I don't like using vacutainers to draw from an IV stick, so I use a syringe. I've had fewer veins blow doing it that way than with the
  24. Dear Abbey, about a nurse

    It is not the doctor's place to counsel the nurse, and yes, it would be considered discipline. A verbal reprimand is a verbal reprimand, and it should come from the nurse's supervisor. That's if this...
  25. religious/Anabaptist health rules?

    Amish do use hospitals/ERs/doctors. They tend to try a lot of home remedies and don't like to use hospitals. Part of it is cultural, part of it is they don't have insurance/Medicare, etc. This can...
