  1. university specialty hospital?

    adnstudent2007 replied to yanowah's topic in Maryland Nursing

    My experience with USH from the other side (family member of a patient) were awful as well. I wouldn't wish it on my worst

  2. midwife or MD?

    adnstudent2007 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a certified nurse midwife when I had my daughter. She was wonderful. If I ever have another baby, I would love to have a midwife again. Where I live, midwives must have at least a MS in...

  3. No wait extrance into Nursing School

    adnstudent2007 replied to cinsun81's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, My community college has no waitlist. When all your pre-reqs are completed it is dependant almost entirely upon grades but there is a residency requirement. I'd rather not say here where I live,...

  4. opinions about epidurals

    adnstudent2007 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Does anybody let woman walk the halls anymore? I understand about needing fetal monitoring, but is there a point in labor where it's common to let the woman labor down by walking if they desire?" I'm...

  5. opinions about epidurals

    adnstudent2007 replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started out at a birthing center. EI asked for something pretty early on in my labor I was had some narcotic, I think it may have Nubain, and that was awful. I would NEVER do that again. I felt...

  6. Andrea Yates R.N.

    adnstudent2007 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't against you, Zoeboboey, but this is an example of something about all this that bothers me about this whole case. None of us were there when it happened and none of us really knows what...

  7. Andrea Yates R.N.

    adnstudent2007 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that the husband made some bad decisions and did not do things he probably should have. However, I am not going to say he should be charged as an accessory. He was NOT the one that...

  8. How to get info about family members who are in hospital

    adnstudent2007 replied to vastudent's topic in General Nursing

    When I have had family members in the hospital in with very severe problems, the next of kin was notified. I would think if one of the daughters is next of kin, she would have to be notified....

  9. Andrea Yates R.N.

    adnstudent2007 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I agree totally that Andrea Yates was severely mentally ill. I don't understand why everyone is being so cruel to her husband though. I have several family members who battle mental illness. It is...

  10. Most Memorable Patient

    adnstudent2007 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. What a wonderful story. I want to go cry now. I can only imagine how wonderful that would have been for

  11. Bradley Birth instructor equates nursing with 'maid service'

    adnstudent2007 replied to Merovingienne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry. In my post I said I was NPO at the hospital but I wasn't really. I was allowed sips of water, just no food. Sorry for the

  12. Pubic hair

    adnstudent2007 replied to nurseJLoo's topic in General Nursing

    I've been reading through these postings and I've noticed alot of you have said that you'd ask a family member to do it. I'm just wondering , wouldn't that be a HIPPA violation unless you asked the...

  13. Bradley Birth instructor equates nursing with 'maid service'

    adnstudent2007 replied to Merovingienne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am a nursing student and this brings up a question for me about my pregnancy. I was planning on having my baby in a birthing center but ended up at a hospital for failure to progress. The...

  14. Unit Problem, Advice from Nurse Mgrs plz!

    adnstudent2007 replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    These are both interesting hypothetical situations. As I stated before, I don't believe that the employer has the right to examine the employee's medical records regarding treatment for the condition...

  15. Unit Problem, Advice from Nurse Mgrs plz!

    adnstudent2007 replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    (So, I'm wondering (for example) if an employee that has chronic asthma and is a smoker may be negating their plan of care if they continue to smoke while they have asthma and attempt to claim...

  16. Unit Problem, Advice from Nurse Mgrs plz!

    adnstudent2007 replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that this is necessarily abuse of FMLA. It MAY be. (I know someone who gets debilitating migraines--but usually only on Sunday. She works regular weekday hours and it doesn't affect...

  17. Unit Problem, Advice from Nurse Mgrs plz!

    adnstudent2007 replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing to my previous reply. It may seem unfair that they can call out whenever they wish, but you don't know really what they have to deal with. I would have much preferred to be a normal...

  18. Unit Problem, Advice from Nurse Mgrs plz!

    adnstudent2007 replied to NurseJanice's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse manager, but I have been on FMLA several years ago (in a non-hospital setting). I did take FMLA on a "frequent little chunk basis" (a day here a day there) due to the health of a...

  19. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    adnstudent2007 replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm obviously in the minority here. I definitely DO NOT THINK a C student will not be as good a nurse as an A or B student. However, I do think that GPA should be the primary criteria. First, it is...

  20. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    adnstudent2007 replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope this isn't a stupid question, but I don't get the connection. The school's can only take in so many students because they only have so many instructors. In my class, a group didn't have a...

  21. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    adnstudent2007 replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This waitlist thing is new to me. At my community college, there is no waitlist. You are accepted almost entirely on your GPA (if you've completed all your pre-reqs). If you don't get in, you have...
