  1. kicked out nrsing school-would u fight?

    Dayray replied to hotcoffee1's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree that "the instructor is out to get me" mentality can really adversely affect students. I have had instructors that didn't like me and guess what I did? I made them like me. I went out...

  2. Nursing Model vs Medical Model

    Dayray replied to Salus's topic in General Nursing

    Whoot here ya go buddy! Let me first say that I really am impressed by the things that RN4NICU and chris_at_lucas said I agree with them. As for you Mr.PA your view is quit flawed. Your screen name...

  3. Do you count?

    Dayray replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmm? Actually I thought I was agreeing with what you were saying. Maybe the meaning of my post didn't come across correctly. What I meant to say was that I like to hear about other nurses...

  4. Do you count?

    Dayray replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think some people are getting mixed up here. It's great to hear about individual labor experiences and the things that you experienced defiantly add to the discussions here but you have to remember...

  5. Do you count?

    Dayray replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What have you seen with open glottis pushing? I've tried it a few times because of these articles and others like them. I like the idea of increasing maternal and fetal blood flow. Maybe it's...

  6. Do you count?

    Dayray replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    it depends on the patient. I don't ask them I just explain how to push and then see if they pick up on the timing. I give them pretty general instructions and then see how much of it they pick up on...

  8. Can you believe this? 13yo and mom both pregnant

    Dayray replied to seanymph's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll agree to disagree on this issue. It's a philosophical question I know, as kids do have free will and can make decisions on their own. I however have a really hard time holding children...

  9. Can you believe this? 13yo and mom both pregnant

    Dayray replied to seanymph's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sadly in my state 3 years ago they changed the law and minors are no longer imancipated when they get pregnant. We must have parental consent =( They also have to inform parents about any famly...

  10. Waiting for cord to stop pulsating before clamped & cut

    Dayray replied to becca.utns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Clamping the cord after it stops pulsing sounds good and seems very romantic however, there are no benefits to it. It can actually cause the baby to get too much blood. It can also cause hypovolemia....

  11. When in uniform?!?!?!?!?

    Dayray replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think a smile is of any concern. I tend to smile most of the time at work and at home, it's just my personality. However, I really don't see a happy or cheerful disposition as being important...

  12. Can you believe this? 13yo and mom both pregnant

    Dayray replied to seanymph's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a former teen parent, I have to agree that it would be much better to have the parent happy then to have them angry. Sometimes we get parents that won't let their daughters have pain medicine...

  14. Is swearing normal??

    Dayray replied to kimburlynn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah it's normal. I have a theory, The nicer the person the more they swear under the influence of drugs. It's like all the repressed anxiety and swear words just come bubbling out. The more times you...

  15. RN bashing

    Dayray replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I too have been a CNA and an LPN and am now an RN. Being a CNA is frustrating especially when you want to further your education and become a nurse and even more so when you start to learn about...

  16. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

    Dayray replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    In many foreign countries it is expected that 1 parent will stay home with the children. Some foreign countries even pay a 1 year maternity leave. I'm not sure where it was (think it was Holland)...

    Dayray replied to GottaBeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dayray replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

    Dayray replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what others experiences are all I can speak of are my own. As a male nurse in a predominately female profession I have seen both advantage and disadvantage being a male. A year ago I was...

  21. Changing needles prior IM injection

    Dayray replied to sharon holcombe's topic in General Nursing

    This was a few years ago and at that time the needles could be changed out. Now they are all built in. I don't give much insulin anymore so I'm not sure how I would handle that situation if it came up...

  22. Changing needles prior IM injection

    Dayray replied to sharon holcombe's topic in General Nursing

    I always change needles because once when I was brand new I had a needle bounce off a patient skin while I was trying to give a SQ of mixed insulin, those needles really do get dull from going threw...

    Dayray replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Riding horses is a great hobby don't give it up. I'd like to see a comparison of the % of people hurt riding horses Vs riding in cars. Driving cars is very dangerous but most of us aren't about to...

  24. Inappropriate relationship with pt?

    Dayray replied to DeeDee*'s topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's inappropriate. I couldn't imagine a personal relationship with my patients. I don't feel uncomfortable if they come back from time to time to say hi or if I see them around town and they say hi...

    Dayray replied to alexsb1116's topic in General Nursing
