    KellNY replied to sdcalichan's topic in General Nursing

    KellNY replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You'll be on orientation for only 6 weeks?? As a new grad???Sorry, but IMO, that's not nearly enough. Maybe if you had a strong nursing background...but not as a new grad. No way. This is nothing...

  5. Is this my fault?

    KellNY replied to labcat01's topic in Medical-Surgical

    First of all, you're a nursing STUDENT. if you could legally or ethically be relied upon to provide full pt education....well, then you wouldn't be a student, you'd be a licensed professional. Not...

  7. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    KellNY replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. :) I wasn't being argumentive (if you think I was, you can call me on it jk;) ). I do know people who think it's inappropriate to ask people stuff like that. Actually, I'm lucky with my...

  8. What is a "dry birth"?

    KellNY replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Amen to that! Invent one and you'll be rich. It's an old wives tale. Having said that, births with someone who PPROMed 8 weeks ago vs. someone with a normal AFI are noticably *less wet*. But dry??...

  9. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    KellNY replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I've been called on bringing my attitude to work (politely) and it brought me back to where I was supposed to be--I hadn't realized that I was coming off that way. Likewise, I've called...

  10. HIPPA Violation?

    KellNY replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. HIPPA Violation?

    KellNY replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At our hospital, the pts can opt out of being in the "Pt/Guest Services" computer-ie if someone calls, the operator has no record of that person being a pt. Same if they call the unit-we say "I have...

  12. questions about vomiting

    KellNY replied to august07's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. I've seen more than one pill come out with the brand still etched in there, and a few gel caps that were fully intact (read: all medication

  13. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am aware that I was splitting hairs. That was my intention. I figured if you could find a school with pretty radical beliefs and say "See-they never take gov't funds!" I could flip it and come up...

  14. Help me analyze this delivery...

    KellNY replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know the answer to that as well as all of us

  15. Eating healthy on 21 dollars per week...

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you want to get really into it, I'd be willing to make a bet that at least one student in all GCC's years came from a family who received welfare cash assistance and/or Earned Income Credit, and...

  16. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    KellNY replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not judging you. I'm just expressing my wishes that I never make it to that

  18. The Magic of Touch: What's Happened to the PM Care Backrub?

    KellNY replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked LTC as an agency nurse(read: NO orientation. At all. "There's your med cart-tx book is on the shelf back there. You have 40 Pts. Don't call unless someone stops breathing"--no joke)...

  19. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    KellNY replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    OP-if you're concerned as to why someone has a bug up their butt, ASK THEM. How can we tell you why someone acts pissy? I encounter sour people in all walks of life-the cashier at stop and shop, some...

  20. how to deal with anxiety

    KellNY replied to august07's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there is a VERY big difference. When I was going through a difficult time in my life, I would have frequent periods of high anxiety, where I felt fidgety, nervous, ill at ease, upset stomach,...

  21. questions about vomiting

    KellNY replied to august07's topic in General Nursing

    Really-was this a joking post? Why on earth would you fish out something covered in stomach acid (and possibly bile and bacteria/toxins/virus), thus probably partially disolved and just plain NASTY...

  22. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    KellNY replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, I think we should just make it a law that in order to be a citizen, one would have to be the child of wealthy land owning citizens. That'd take care of those nasty little Anchor Babies (gotta...

  23. L/D for synthesis

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Viking, I would be honored to have you in my field! Glad you're liking the rotation. We have one male L&D nurse where I work (he started in Post Partum) and he gets along with everyone well....

  24. Job Fairs?

    KellNY replied to NYpedsgal's topic in New York Nursing

    There are plenty of job fairs in NYC and Long Island, and most of them are very large. Advance and Spectrum hold job fairs in Madison Square Garden pretty regularly, and that's literally right above...
