  1. L&D nurse is calling formula poison!!!

    rph3664 replied to hotmama2be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do believe that getting colostrum is the most important thing, much more so than BFing for, say, 3 or 6 months. My friend's wife never produced enough milk to exclusively breastfeed any of their...

  2. What's changed in the last 10 yrs in L&D?

    rph3664 replied to Salgal08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've noticed that too. Not a day goes by where I work that we don't see a 300-pound plus mom, either and we've had a couple of 400-pounders. It seems that the vast majority of our hyperemesis...

  3. Nurse fired for calling police

    rph3664 replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the visitor came in drunk or high. Chances are, they did. Also, it could be that those in charge were afraid to take any action because this person is a racial minority and they didn't...

  4. Methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy

    rph3664 replied to cubbynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The hospital where I work does this quite regularly. Most of them are done on an outpatient basis; they come in and an oncology nurse goes over to that floor and administers the injection. It's...

  5. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    rph3664 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A while back, I heard about a man who needed some expensive dental work but didn't have insurance (or it didn't cover that procedure) and really didn't have the money, but he owned a pet supply store...

  7. Nursing Or Dental Hygienst.

    rph3664 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    There is a DH who posts here and her username is "Dental Hygienist." She said that the pay is very good BUT the chances are, you will be responsible for your own health insurance since most dentists...

  8. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    rph3664 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A woman on another, non-nursing board lives near a city that she hasn't identified but I figured out from her clues to be Camden, New Jersey. One thing she mentioned was that this city had no grocery...

  9. My family can't believe nurses don't get breaks

    rph3664 replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    The people who work (a.k.a. volunteer) in our gift shop are like that. I know some women who work there (retired women who go to my church) and one of them said, "Our emphasis is on a relaxed...

  10. Ordering medications online?

    rph3664 replied to summerdaze's topic in General Nursing

    DON'T DO IT. Not only have items been found that were sub-or superpotent or even had no active ingredient, some items have been contaminated with other drugs, most commonly Viagra no matter what the...

  11. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    rph3664 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  12. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    rph3664 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  13. Parents of kids with autism, please read

    rph3664 replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    Is this the nutjob who said that most kids who were diagnosed as autistic have nothing more than the need for a good whipping? Not so many years ago, when we didn't know what we do now, that's exactly...

  14. Vaccine Nation

    rph3664 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    I live in an area with a sizable Amish population; most of them are not vaccinated, and I have seen some of those diseases at my hospital. So much unnecessary suffering. This is not the same as a...

  15. What was the WORST thing a patient has been brought to ER for?

    rph3664 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    The worst trauma I have heard about did not have a happy ending BECAUSE the patient survived (IMO). This story was in the newspaper and is on the Internet now, so I will post it here. In the late...

  16. Vaccine Nation

    rph3664 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    Alan Yurko's child died of shaken baby syndrome, and he has a criminal record longer than your arm. Yes, he's handsome and soft spoken. So what. Jeffrey Dahmer was too. That he's being treated as a...

  17. What's changed in the last 10 yrs in L&D?

    rph3664 replied to Salgal08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did they give you an enema too? When I was born, all that stuff was routine but things have definitely changed. Where did you have your kids that those things were done that recently? My friends who...

  18. What brings non-nurses to allnurses?

    rph3664 replied to ruralnurs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure exactly how I wound up here, but there are no pharmacist message boards that I know of that have more than a few dozen posts, and I can get more lively dialogue by coming here. Hats off...

  19. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    rph3664 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And where does that money come from? In some countries, the taxation rate is so high, they couldn't be SAHMs if they wanted to

  20. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

  21. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    rph3664 replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    Queenjean, you did what was right for your family. I have mentioned this elsewhere on this board, and maybe even in this thread, but a huge percentage of the parents who have their babies at my...

    rph3664 replied to shalamar's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  25. What was the WORST thing a patient has been brought to ER for?

    rph3664 replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    It wasn't so many years ago that parents - often from educated, well-to-do families - would bring kids in with injuries like this, and medical personnel believed their stories, because after all, who...
