  1. diseases common to nurses?

    KellNY replied to studentnurse09's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh! Good one. I developed one after years of working as a medical assistant. I'd always been a little sensitive to latex bandaids that were on delicate areas (thigh, anticubital space, face,...

  2. diseases common to nurses?

    KellNY replied to studentnurse09's topic in General Nursing

    Well, not a disease, per se, but Back Injuries are huge. Really, I'd guess that since nursing is still largely female-any disease common to this sex would/could apply (I'm thinking auto-immune,...

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

    KellNY replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    My marital status most certainly is relevant, because it means I obviously "sinned" and therefore violated that little purity clause. (And some would say that tattoos are an impure violation of the...

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

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

    [EVIL]I'm going to be a radical voice here [/EVIL] IMO, The partner's "place" should not be regulated to the 'top of the bed', it should be wherever he (or she) and the woman are comfortable with--as...

  5. checking cervix

    KellNY replied to happyrn10's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There have been plenty of threads on this. Do a search and you're bound to get some good

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

    KellNY replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please! Live my life in purity? I'm a non-religious, never-been-married single mother who likes to read erotic fiction. I get drunk sometimes. (rarely, but it happens, and no, i don't drive). I...

  7. midwife vs. ob/gyn

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

    Okay, then. On a more personal note, I went to 2 weeks past my due date. While my midwives are bound by their ties to the hospital and it's doctors to induce at 42wks, I am positive I would have been...

  8. What's your experience with doulas?

    KellNY replied to EnergeticRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, I think you may have misunderstood me. I was responding to one of the attitudes I hate most which is of the "I don't need a doula or to worry about any of those things, I'm getting my epidural" or...

  9. Can you sue your instructor?

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

    KellNY replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's a pretty broad generalization there. What's that coping mechanism people use to make something not so close to home? (ie "No, those people aren't like me and my friends. It could never...

  11. What's your experience with doulas?

    KellNY replied to EnergeticRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know what upsets me? When a woman plans on having an epidural, and therefore learns NO OTHER COPING TECHNIQUES. This is such a bad idea for 4 major reasons: #1-Labor usually hurts. In the...

  12. How many babies?

    KellNY replied to prowlingMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Me, personally, I saw quads, and yes they all survived. Ou hospital has deliver sextuplets. We get lots of triplets and even more twins--most trips are the result of IVF or clomid but I've seen a few...

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

    KellNY replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I can tell, no one is arguing

  14. Voluntary C-Sections?

    KellNY replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you! I did not appreciate the implication that because I was giving medical facts and urging the OP to consider ALL aspects that I was not being an advocate for that Pt. There's something...

  15. Nurses as day laborers (rant)

    KellNY replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a PP. Yes, I'm stressed, and yes, I'd love more money, but what other profession can someone with an associates degree make $65k/yr plus benefits right out of college? And that's not...

  16. Thoughts on Maternity nursing.

    KellNY replied to Nurse AllBetta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, as a "high risk" (antepartum) nurse, I can list off the things I've done in the past few months: -Started and finished a blood transfusion -Would care/dressing changes (and not just c/section)...

  17. Do your visitors gown up?

    KellNY replied to Mags4711's topic in Infectious Disease

    Does your NICU have the mandatory "scrubbing in" for all visitors? One NICU I did my clinical at had a good policy-they had lab coats (prety nurses ones) that families were supposed to wear when they...

  18. Do your visitors gown up?

    KellNY replied to Mags4711's topic in Infectious Disease

    No, we tell them the risk and offer gowns and gloves, but it's not required, as they're not flitting from room to room like we

  19. Lower Pay In Dr.'s Office????

    KellNY replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Oh god, a HUGE pay difference. Sick. I make over $60k/yr plus great health benefits (incl free vision and dental--I pay about $40 a month for health bens for myself). At a doctors office I'd be...

  21. Can you sue your instructor?

    KellNY replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    She was told she was not doing well, and was given a 2nd chance of sorts. Let me see if I can find the thread where she actually gives some info (although why there was no clarification posted here...

  22. Can you sue your instructor?

    KellNY replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students

    I think once you fail two times, you're done. That's how it is at all the universities I know of (except in rare circumstances--ie my school let a mama take her Med Surg 2 clinical a 3rd time because...

  23. 4th degree Laceration..ouch!

    KellNY replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At the hospital I clinical'ed at for OB, there were a few docs who snipped just about everyone. I wanted to vomit, then cry each time I heard/saw the snip (and yes, you can hear it. It sounds like...

  24. Voluntary C-Sections?

    KellNY replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, that's not always true. Babies have been born to women in comas (medical and chemically induced) who did no voluntary pushing, just let the uterus do it's job. Some doctors would be willing to...

    KellNY replied to Phillygryl's topic in General Students
