  1. Why must all docs bathe in cologne?

    KellNY replied to kessadawn's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto that on the nurses. Ladies--We work with PREGNANT patients. Why have you slathered yourself in Sweet Pea Passion or whatever offensive stuff you picked up at Bath and Bodyworks?? Especially...

  2. Tattoos?

    KellNY replied to kamon8404's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not a male nurse myself (sorry to intrude!) but we do have a male nurse in our ED who's covered in tattoos-from the neck to the wrists (full sleeves) and he's one of my favorites there. I've seen him...

  3. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I was talking more along the lines of if there were not enough EMS (ie, there was a multiple car pile up and numerous bleeders/trauma people, but only one...

  4. Interesting places where women have given birth

    KellNY replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You'd be surprised how much faster you labor when you're in a familiar comfortable place where you are at peace. :) And I agree, those I've known who've UCed without any formal prenatal care were...

  5. Cervidil--Talk to me!

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    KellNY replied to amadime1's topic in New York Nursing

    Here's some info on Lenox Hill. http://www.lenoxhillhospital.org/nursing/index.jsp#detail5 Scroll to the bottom for pay rates/differentials/benefits,

  7. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    KellNY replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    Not to nitpick, but just wanted to mention that a CNA does not have a license, but a certificate.

  8. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    KellNY replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree. Maybe it should be worth a few "points", but I don't think it should put them as a priority. OT,

  9. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    KellNY replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I can't offer consolation, but some advice. Lose the attitude, because you'll be changing plenty of diapers, making plenty of beds and emptying plenty of bedpans in nursing school alone. There are...

  10. No 24 Hr Pharmacy

    KellNY replied to MDRRAJ's topic in General Nursing

    wow. i can't imagine not having pharmacy 24/7! But we're a large hospital, so it would never

  11. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    KellNY replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, you should be comfortable Sexuality, especially in the US is so taboo. Why? It's a lady parts. Most women have one. It's a body part. (An intimate body part, yes. But we're also talking about an...

  12. Do I really need a $500 Kaplan class?

    KellNY replied to CAnewgrad's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't take any classes, do any formal study programs, or even join a study group and I passed the 1st time after 75 questions. I think it depends on the

  13. Interesting places where women have given birth

    KellNY replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    i plan on doing a uc. here are some quotes that i'm sure aren't against the

  14. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and just to clarify-EMS and Fire Dept are two separate facilties/departments here. They're not interchangable or even housed in the same

  15. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious-but then what would be the point of going, other than to look (which I would not feel right about, just standing there and watching someone in such a stressful time) Grammie-I'd never...

  16. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    For the record-EMS here is 100% volunteer, and there is a major issue of response time. Because it's volunteer, most EMTs don't hang out at the station waiting for calls-they're at home, in bed, in...

  17. If you suspect your nurse coworker of being a drinker, what do you do?

    KellNY replied to nitesky83's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with TheCommuter--there could be another reason. I take something called "Rescue Remedy". I love the stuff-works great for me many times, but I end up smelling like I just downed a fifth of...

  18. When staff accuse resident's of being racist?

    KellNY replied to LadyMonteCarlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, there is a school of thought that RACISM=POWER+PREJUDICE (not just prejudice) and therefore in America only white people can truly be racist, as they continue to hold the majority...

  19. Probably a repeat question about a new grad...

    KellNY replied to WDWpixieRN's topic in Travel

    You'll need a minimum of 2 years experience. ICU nurses are in demand (NICU, PICU, CICU, SICU, ICU, etc), and they tend to pay well. But general med/surg will help you get your foot in the door and...

  20. Can you sue your instructor?

    KellNY replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    And to the poster who said that it would be realized easily If you have a 3 day old neonate, that child could easily be 3lbs OR 3kg, and there'd be a heck of a problem dispensing meds safely with that...

  21. strange request?

    KellNY replied to love2shop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To clarify, this woman wanted me to basically give her a amnioinfusion of sorts with holy water. We have no sterile holy water (clean and filtered, yes-not sterile). She was a PPROM, with new onset...

  22. diseases common to nurses?

    KellNY replied to studentnurse09's topic in General Nursing

    It is! You're the first person (my docs included!) who knew that! I just didn't mention that because I never really ate kiwis--didn't figure about that allergy till I ate a fruit salsa that had kiwi...

  23. strange request?

    KellNY replied to love2shop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why is that ewww? I'd imagine he'd had more than his fingers in there....The weirdest (saddest) request I've gotten is to baptize the baby for them. WHILE IN UTERO. No, sorry--I'll be more than happy...

  24. Damn Hippa!!!

    KellNY replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    See, but when it's an over the phone f/u, the nurse on the other end has no idea of knowing whether you are in fact, Nurse X from Small Community General or the Pt's mentally ex who has NO rights to...

  25. If you are drunk, don't drive!

    KellNY replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Discuss medical ethics? I'm mearly pointing out (quite on topic, I might ad), that an oath taken as a part of nursing tradition has NO bearing on legal issues (ie-having your license revoked for...
