  1. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    KellNY posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had mentioned in another thread that I wouldn't allow a student nurse to attempt insertion of a foley on me (unless I'd been anesthetized prior). So that got me thinking.... What would I and what...

  2. Please help me with my new Customer-er...I mean Pt

    KellNY posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just got a G1P0 at 37wks, transfer from L&D. Advanced maternal age (she's pushing 50), but no other health or pregnancy issues. She was cervidil'ed yesterday, no progress (shocker at 37wks,...

  3. License Verification on-line

    KellNY posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Anyone know how long after passing NCLEX-RN it shows up on the on-line verification page? (this is for a friend in NY, if that matters) Also, can s/he apply for a job before receiving the hard copy...

  4. Floating=dumping bad patients

    KellNY replied to lmc512's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm also guessing you got her because if she was hyperemesis, chances are she was too early in her gestation to require fetal monitoring. I'm guessing that since you're PP, you are not trained in...

  5. Is 44 cents per mile good?

    KellNY replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    Why on earth would you take a homecare position 60 miles away?Unless you're talking about a hospital or LTC job, in which I've never heard of any nurses getting reimbursed for distance/per

  6. Seriously considering

    KellNY replied to septoct7401's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I kow of many nurses who couldn't give much of a crap about caring for people-they like the scientific part of it and/or the adrenaline rush, assisting in codes, the...

  7. Tattoos?

    KellNY replied to kamon8404's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thank you for that. Not only is that post paranoid, but not evidenced based at all...and I thought we were all working towards

  8. Do nurses collect cord blood?

    KellNY replied to PlourdieRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not where I work, sometimes. But where I did my OB clinicals (community hospital) they did all the time. In fact, I did a few as a student

  9. 17-lb Russian baby

    KellNY replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    True, but technically a doctor doesn't have to "let" a pregnant woman do anything. A woman in the US could have refused an earlier c/s. Doing a c/s based on weight along probably would have resulted...

  10. Patients on Medicaid

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

    Where are you getting this information? According to North Carolina's website, The single digit numbers are the # of people per household. The dollar amounts are what the HOUSEHOLD recieves--and...

  11. Patients on Medicaid

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

    Shaggy, do you have any idea what a small percentage of your taxes actually goes towards Medicaid? You're not missing any time away from your family to pay for Medicaid, and if you think you are,...

  12. Kindergarten Career Day

    KellNY replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    I did a presentation for my son's school (2nd-4th graders) last year. I was nervous too, but we had a ball. We did it in 6 groups of about 40...with each group--didn't matter the age, sex, race,...

  13. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    OT, but that doesn't sound like straight talk...sounds pretty convoluted and biologically inacurate...:uhoh21:. It's not technnically possible, as the sperm would die in a cold, chlorinated...

  14. Kindergarten Career Day

    KellNY replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

    Johnson&Johnson will mail you as many Nurse coloring books as you want, competely free of charge...Trying to think of the website.... Hmmm....You might not get it on time, but it's worth a shot....

  15. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked into a public health/free clinic? Most of them provide free or very low cost health care (I remember when I was in college but got denied for medicaid, I saw the doctor and got a...

  16. Planned Parenthood... for men?

    KellNY replied to Obiwarz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused by your question. As an employee, you could expect the same job duties as a female RN, and those would depend on what position you take. Generally, if you're working in the...

  17. Shoulder dystocia!!

    KellNY replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something in there air then, eh? We recently had a few doozies, incl. one that required an emergency c/s. Yeesh. Never heard that doctor curse in front of a pt until that night. Baby came out...

  18. RN question to CMA's (tell me it ain't so)

    KellNY replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I am CMA classes do not count for any college credits (unless the person got their degree from a community college, as opposed to the much more common vo-tech type of school). And yea, the...

  19. Newly hired and pregnant

    KellNY replied to kookie31's topic in General Nursing

    I would just bring it up casually. If they seem shocked at all, explain that you figured they knew, since you interviewed at 26wks. That's

  20. NICU filling with miscarriages

    KellNY replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Calling a living, breathing baby a "miscarriage" doesn't seem right to me. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the measures taken, it's a person and I think that's disrespectful to the...

  21. I hate bedmaking

    KellNY replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Jedi, I can assure you, it's not just a man thing! I hated hated hated bedmaking in NS, and have only done it in real life maybe 6 times. Where I work (nights) the CAs usually change the beds during...

  22. "let loose the nurses of war"

    KellNY replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome!

  23. Why Do Dr's do this?

    KellNY replied to q12RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please....don't say those words....shudder....We have the opposite problem here. Family Med will call their induction 5cm/100%/0station. No problem right? Well, when they were 1cm/25%/-2 two hours...

  24. Silly Question

    KellNY replied to rnWinn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Lady or mama. Mama, usually for the Pt's I click

  25. Nursing Shortage?????????

    KellNY replied to EMERGENCYRNNJ's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Just to step in (and hopefully not on thecommuter's toes), there's a difference between a pt being a bit cranky because of illness and a pt or family treating you like dirt/their maid/their figurative...
