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

    KellNY replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Gardens are a great wonderful way to grow healthy food! And seeds are super cheap. Excellent. Now tell that to the people living in the ghettos, to the people living on the 5th floor of a walk up...

  2. Do all hospitals share commonnursealities

    KellNY replied to PattonD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Performing my orders like I am told? Not even gonna touch that one... That wasn't a supreme being, that was a whole heck of a lot of nurses (most here prefer 12 hour shifts) and patients. There's...

  3. HMMmm, What should I do?

    KellNY replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Never sent a thank you. The day I start getting them for taking time out of my day to meet with someone is the day I'll change my practices. They're paid to meet with you and interview you as an...

  4. Damn near had a heart attack (re: MgSO4)

    KellNY posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why do they even give this stuff anymore?!? :trout: Spiked a bag of Mag on a PTL pt (2g/hr=50mL/hr), went to the bathroom, came out to a pump bleeping. I'm thinking "Occlusion Pt side" or something...

  5. What color of suit to purchase for job interview?

    KellNY replied to krazykev's topic in Men in Nursing

    That's a turn off for sure--not even subliminal. I personally like a man in navy blue suit-no pinstripes. But that's just me. Black seems too formal, and

  6. Damn near had a heart attack (re: MgSO4)

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For pre-eclampsia is one thing. I completely get that. But for PTL...well, studies are really showing that it should not be the 1st choice tocolytic (not I have nothing to link to right now, I'll look...

  7. Is the Presbyterian Columbia University Hospital a good hospital ?

    KellNY replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak as an employee, but as a former Pt. there, I loved the care I got from the nurses. I was also in the ICU, then step down, then neuro. They were on the ball with getting my meds changed,...

  8. Vulvar pain? whats your opinion

    KellNY replied to chaoticnme's topic in General Nursing

    Is she on any HRT or anything? That could cause a clitoral swelling (not really edema, more like an increased blood flow and super

  9. Damn near had a heart attack (re: MgSO4)

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in Ob/Gyn

    FLO-Our policy is the same with the load (having an RN there the whole time). My pt was on a 1g or 2g/hr maint. dose. It's always the secondary line. lol, hung some mag today, you can bet I...

  10. Names

    KellNY replied to EstOyLista's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you talking about doulas? A doula is not employed as a nurse. (She can be an RN as well, but the two roles are very

  11. Rant

    KellNY replied to TXTraumaRN's topic in Emergency

    This whole post annoys me--especially switching the shift on you like that, even if it is "only" once a week. What if you were a single parent and didn;t have childcare for those hours? Or you took...

  12. Question about your rooms..

    KellNY replied to BittyBabyGrower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure it's the best idea to not "subject" the parents to any measures taken. Sometimes not knowing can be scarier than knowing, and in the unfortunate event that a baby dies, at least the...

  13. Names

    KellNY replied to EstOyLista's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well.....I'm an antepartum nurse-I deal mostly with women who are pregnant (not laboring). L&D nurses deal with the laboring mom and about 2 hours post partum. Mother Baby/Post Partum take care of...

  14. Reimbursements Sway Oncologists' Drug Choices

    KellNY replied to gdpawel's topic in Oncology

    I really have to wonder if you read any of the above posts... Granted, they were long, but here's a snippet for

  15. How did you choose the area of nursing

    KellNY replied to neeniebean's topic in General Nursing

    don't tell anyone what they need. it's not only terribly rude, but highly inaccurate. i didn't do med surg and have no time management issues. i am very well rounded as well, thankyouverymuch. the...

  16. PT recommended for pregnant women on bedrest

    KellNY replied to Jolie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our hospital is pretty good with getting pt on our "long term" BRers. They ever get weekly(?) massages. This is all contingent upon whether or not the md writes the order, but the RNs here are pretty...

  17. How did you choose the area of nursing

    KellNY replied to neeniebean's topic in General Nursing

    I just knew. And when I started having doubts (2nd guessing myself), my little guy came along and solidified everything. People say I'm lucky, because i truly feel like i had a calling...there was...

  18. Would you call in because you didn't get any sleep?

    KellNY replied to Elvish's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, not trying to start a shift war, but there's a BIG difference bewtween...let's say a part time 3-11 worker getting 3 hours of night sleep and coming in next day at 1500 and a FT 1900-0730 worker...

  19. Did you see this on the Today Show?

    KellNY replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OT--Our ante moms here who're on bedrest (not complete, usually) get in house massages by PT covered by insurence. Awesome program, and more hospitals should offer

  20. Immunizations and blood titers?

    KellNY replied to pluskon's topic in General Students

    That's BS about the CP--either you have the titers or you don't. And if you have them, you don't need the vax. That's overkill, unwarrented, and more than an inconvenience to you. I'd fight

  21. Did you see this on the Today Show?

    KellNY replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I apologize for my original post--I hadn't veiwed the video when I posted it(still haven't, actually). I guess there are some discrepencies in the article when compared to what she herself states in...

  22. Student Loans

    KellNY replied to Groo1sem's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any reason you won't be working for 15-18mos? That's pretty drastic, even if you live with mom and dad (and I don't know that you do, because you mention rent). My advice?

  23. did I just get discriminated?

    KellNY replied to lovemycareerchoice's topic in General Nursing

    You're wrong and you're right. If you're in a BSN program, then the "externships" or whatever the hospitals call the student nurse jobs, you have to complete 1 year of CLINICAL classes. So even in a...

  24. Baylor Plan--Locating Hospitals

    KellNY posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am 100% certain that I would like to work the baylor staffing plan (work every weekend, get paid for FT). As it is I work almost every weekend, full time, and I'm not too happy where I am. I'm a...

  25. Baylor Plan--Locating Hospitals

    KellNY replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've read, "Baylor" staffing is now more flexible in it's definition. And supposedly it's on the rise (I'm guessing factoring in what you refer to as a "weekend pay plan"?). Either way, I'd...
