  2. Art Sticks

    lovemyjob replied to Shenandoah's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    lovemyjob replied to markdanurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is one of the best posts I have ever read re: bsn/adn issue. It has stayed on topic and been so informative. Lindarn, I whole heartedly agree with you, and many others who have brought up other...

  8. smallpox vaccine gone awry

    lovemyjob replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    That was a great website. Thx. I wonder why it is that it can transmit the virus(?) while it has a scab, even if it not oozing. Sounds pretty hard to care for the site. I just cant imagine a child...

  9. Young & Ignorant

    lovemyjob replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    that is an interesting piece of info. I have to say, I have always learned a ton after talking to someone who works in the lab or blood bank or pharmacy. Those other departments are great...

    lovemyjob replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    REGARDLESS of your opinion and/or experiences...... None of the facts/beliefs you have stated have anything to do with the thread topic. Now, a question for those whose replies will not be filled...

  12. smallpox vaccine gone awry

    lovemyjob replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    The conspiracy theories are very fun to listen to, however, I dont think this is really the place to bash those who make the educated choice to join the military and fight for the freedoms you are...

  13. smallpox vaccine gone awry

    lovemyjob replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    Can we leave this discussion strictly to the OP outlined questions? This could be an interesting thread, however it seems to have been highjacked by "individuals" who think this nursing forum is...

    lovemyjob replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    is this similar to leukocyte reduced? I know in neonated we use a special filter to pull op the blood...it is given in a syringe, not straight from the bag. OP, you have learned form your error, it...

  16. How to treat umbilical cord?

    lovemyjob replied to sofiam's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our nursery uses triple dye and the alcohol with diaper changes. I dont think the alcohol really serves any purpose after the triple dye is on, have actually heard that it slows the falling off...

  17. Do you ever deal with pregnant patients who "flip out"?

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

    I think it is true. A friend of mine freaked out at a baby store when they didnt have her crib in yet.... it was being flown over from england. She even admitted that she couldnt control herself....

  18. Bilirubin level: What would you do?

    lovemyjob replied to rnin02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Would anything different be done if you notified the Dr? Not likely. The doc may want a followup in the AM, but he/she can write for that when he comes in. You followed your hospital protocol for...

  19. Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    lovemyjob replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    I am amazed at how low some of these wages are considering the cost of living. We are all making bout the same (new grad pay) yet, I live in a very affordable area.....just doesnt make sense....

  20. BSN vs. ADN income disparity

    lovemyjob replied to romie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To all of those whose argument is that "we all do the same job:" There are very few professions (actually none I can think of) where a higher education does not equate to a higher pay. My husband does...

  21. strange request?

    lovemyjob replied to love2shop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    either way, all I am saying is that it is not unreasonable that someone would be concerned about he effects of the birth on a young child. I think a case where a delivery went south (yes deliveries...

  22. strange request?

    lovemyjob replied to love2shop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it could be a bit traumatic for a 2 year old to see mommy moaning in pain and making other noises to cope with the labor. Also, seeing all of the blood and other stuff. I think it could be...

    lovemyjob replied to ncbeachgrl's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I was reading an article, think it was in Advances in neonatal care, that talked about the risks of losing the toes/foot/limb and suggests that if ther is any question, the line should be pulled. I...

  25. Would you do anything about it?

    lovemyjob replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    This is a completely different situation. Someone is misrepresenting themselves AND dispensing stolen meds, I wouldnt consider that something minor. The OP has a valid concern. I have to agree with...
