    Bypass nurse recruiter, contact nurse manager?

    lamazeteacher replied to ALH2004's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you did that, ALH2004. I say, Go for it! It can't do you any harm, if you're hired due to having an inside lead. If you're not hired, that makes no difference. At least you went the extra...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    lamazeteacher replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Johnny, I hate to reveal this, but I'm past the commonly thought age of retirement, yet I don't look it (people tell me). I'm 70. When I was 55 years old, in 1995 I was fired for the first time, from...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    lamazeteacher replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Mea Culpa, I had no idea, and upon looking back at the OP and post #33, nothing was written about the fact that this new grad (how new?) was being precepted in ICU. If she was straight out of nursing...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    lamazeteacher replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "for instance, if the inr is 9, it might explain the nosebleed, the cherry red urine and the fact that the hemoglobin is now 6. giving the coumadin at 6pm as scheduled is not a good thing, even if you...

    Have you had a bad reaction to the H1N1 vaccine? If so what happened?

    lamazeteacher replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Did you ask the recipients of the vaccine to wait 20 minutes before leaving yhour site, so that you'd know if they had an allergic reaction? That, of course is all you'd know within that time frame....

    Finding the right words...

    lamazeteacher replied to lmc512's topic in Ob/Gyn

    lmc didn't mention how the triplets are latching, or how long they were kept in the hospital.. However, my take on the mpom's insistance is that her intention to breast feed totally, will evaporate...

    From "Canoehead's post # 206: "I'll tell every family I see, and won't be recommending sharing a bed ever again." I'd recommend that you get some statistics regarding the incidence of death by...

    The Case Against Breastfeeding

    lamazeteacher replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As all groups do, sometimes one or two outspoken people can get quite far out in LLL. I called it "raising the breastfeeding flag too high", in the classes I taught expectant parents. Who knows what...

    Verbal, Written Warnings and Termination

    lamazeteacher replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Then why did Massachusetts ignore the fact that health care reform, with increased monitoring of those LTCs would be enacted with a Democratic Senator? They voted for a Republican one, who will...

    Dangerous nurses

    lamazeteacher replied to funmom's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Scrubby: Have you been asked by the Nurse Manager to teach that nurse with poor language skills? If not, I'd advise you not to do it, as it could boomerang onto you. She could say you taught her to do...

    Worst job interview ever... funny.

    lamazeteacher replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I told the expectant fathers in my Lamaze classes to do the breathing techniques immediately if they feel dizzy or out of it. I said that L&D nurses still claim that they faint, and I wanted them...

    The Case Against Breastfeeding

    lamazeteacher replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Let's all get into cooler frames of mind, shall we? It's important to share viewpoints, rather than castigate each other for differences of opinion. At the "end of the day", most uncompromised babies...

    No Prior Existing Conditions but Dead Anyway

    lamazeteacher replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Regarding post #255, regarding the death of a young new mother: I wonder if whatever is causing perinatal women to react more severely to H1N1, had a role in this incidence (although the 4th trimester...

    The Case Against Breastfeeding

    lamazeteacher replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Was dad intoxicated or morbidly obese? What outcome was there? When did that happen? The "wetnurses" hired by wealthy British families centuries ago, got very bored with their job doing that, so...

    Have you had a bad reaction to the H1N1 vaccine? If so what happened?

    lamazeteacher replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Disaster Preparation

    NonieTN: Call your county Health Department and ask if there is any contraindication to having the H1N1 vaccine along with the Shingles vaccine....... They'd have the last word on that. Ask for the...

    An acquaintance of mine just perished from the H1N1

    lamazeteacher replied to VickyRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I went for my H1N1 vaccine the first time it was offered to those over 64 years of age, by the health department. I was amazed, that of the throngs of people there, winding in a line up a hill toward...

    The Case Against Breastfeeding

    lamazeteacher replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ah, yes, and one's body is not just its breasts, or health dependant upon breastmilk only. There are alternatives for a reason, too. This from a nurse who is a lactation consultant, and has gotten...
