  1. Almost immediate STD (itching?)

    KellNY posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay, as a preface, this is not about me! (It's been so rediculously long that I almost wish it were!) I have a patient-23 y/o G3P1011 at 6 weeks. She's here for hyperemesis. Her husband had been...

  2. Epidemic of dumb!

    KellNY replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pardon?

  3. Have you ever heard of this? UGH!!!!

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    and you came to find out that she was a normal black woman? :uhoh21: ftr-all the women i've known irl and on the computer who've done this have been "normal" (hate that term!) white

  4. Terminations vs Fetal Demises

    KellNY replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    why are they doing 1st trimester top in the hospital and not

  5. Have you ever heard of this? UGH!!!!

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the laugh! If it was a one liner, I don't get it. It wasn't set up like a traditional joke, nor did it have a follow up. How else were we supposed to take it? And I too, do not take...

  6. Have you ever heard of this? UGH!!!!

    KellNY replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    Ingesting the placenta has been shown to decrease the incidence of hemorrhage. It's also said to reduce risk of PPD and helps stabilize the hormones more quickly. It's completely healthy to eat (why...

  7. Oral surgery & dental office sedation

    KellNY replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    OP-you're getting general as in totally knocked out? Or are you getting sedation-kind of a twilight sleep situation? I horribly afraid of the dentist, and I get oral sedation and NO2 for all my...

  8. What to do with this kind of patient?

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When you say "babies having babies", you are judging. Period. I'm not going to argue that with you. I think immaturity, stress, bad home life, ignorance, uneducation, past experiences, etc...

  9. MA's please stop letting school practice on you !

    KellNY replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that I ever said it was "okay". I said it's the way it works in many places, and that no one left with any visible harm (and no one treated for phlebitis/MRSA/etc). As far as blowing...

  10. MA's please stop letting school practice on you !

    KellNY replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    From a 23g or 25g butterfly? None. meownsmile, If you wonder what would happen if a student chose the instructor, you could have asked. I let several of my students take a stab at it (so to speak )...

  11. correct answer to Sickle Cell crisis question

    KellNY replied to Ms.RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Also, IV fluids for someone in a SC crisis (especially children) could help prevent a stroke. When somoene is dehydrated, the blood is thicker, increasing the chances of those deformed cells clumping...

  12. What to do with this kind of patient?

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Excuse me, but would you mind attempting to be less judgemental? I had my son when I was 16 and I wasn't "out of control" or attention seeking. In fact, many of the nurses here were teenage mothers. I...

  13. MA's please stop letting school practice on you !

    KellNY replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we can't do that because MAs don't have supervised clinicals. They do an "externship" where they basically follow around an MA or bunch of MAs in an office for a few weeks and can do...

  14. MA's please stop letting school practice on you !

    KellNY replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, by MA I'm assuming you're talking about medical assistants, right? I was an MA since I was 17, and taught medical assisting for a while, so maybe I can offer some perspective. We didn't hold...

  15. The "no experience" conundrum

    KellNY replied to seemerun's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you get experience in Post Partum? Around here, and in many other places, those jobs are frequently available (for a number of reasons), the same not being as true for L&D. That way you'll...

  16. Baylor (weekend) Staffing?? Anyone know of any participating hospitals?

    KellNY posted a topic in New York Nursing

    From NYC (any borough) to the Island-do you know of any hospitals that offer Baylor staffing. (FYI for those that don't know-Baylor staffing is basically you work every single weekend, but only the...

  17. anyone have a nose ring?

    KellNY replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    That's another common question I get. Nope, no boogies get stuck to it, and nothing comes out the hole. I can still (quite effectively!) blow my nose when I have a cold. And I have bad sinuses and...

  18. Paraphilias

    KellNY replied to purplekath's topic in Psychiatric

    I have very strong feelings regarding sexual predators, and out of respect for the OP and the original topic, I will keep them private. However, I am interested in hearing other's

  19. anyone have a nose ring?

    KellNY replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    I was being tongue in cheek with the "safely assume" thing. I wasn't dissing the white dress/bun thing, just saying that it was far from the norm nowadays, and mentioning how rules and ideas evolve...

  20. anyone have a nose ring?

    KellNY replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    Trauma--LOL at the home-made lift. I'm thinking that most of us with nose rings have the tiny metal/stone studs, so there's really nothing hanging (ie, it's not the hoop that some of you may be...

  21. Holistic Certification Helpful or Harmful?

    KellNY replied to nursingstudent317's topic in Holistic

    Why would people discredit you? And if they did-do you really want to work at a facility where management is so ignorant? FTR-Holistic nursing is not inherently related to "complimentary medicine"....

  22. anyone have a nose ring?

    KellNY replied to rsjenni's topic in General Nursing

    Since you seem to view the "image of nursing" as a firm thing, which is incapable of evolution, modification or adaption, I can safely assume that you wear all white (white skirt/dress, white hose and...

  23. Is the ERI test full of CR**?

    KellNY replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Re: Title question--It was full of that for me. I was also "at risk", which naturally scared the crud outa me.... I graduated with honors (BSN), passed the NCLEX with 75 questions, and never had any...

  24. Deluded Medical Assistant

    KellNY replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a public program (BOCES) during my sr year at high school, and I can honestly say that, yes, my training did help a bit while getting my BSN. But I also took advantage of my time there and...

  25. Getting into a Lpn program with no test in ny

    KellNY replied to Sheemy's topic in New York Nursing

    Sheemy--I'm not trying to sound harsh, but I'm with the mindset that you need to not only figure out why you keep failing, but fix that and stop failing. Skipping the test isn't going to help you,...
