  2. What is An Atrovent or Alburetol PILLOW?

    rph3664 replied to psychnurse1998's topic in General Nursing

    It's a unit dose ampule. They sort of look like pillows when the wrapper is

  3. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of my co-workers had a c-section just before Christmas; the baby was breech. Her first child was born after a very long but not particularly difficult labor, and when the new baby was 3 weeks...

    rph3664 replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is anyone here familiar with the Read method? I understand it was in vogue for a while in the 1950s, until it was shown that the divorce rate for women who actually did it was astronomical because...

  5. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When you have a c-section, you have a huge scar on your belly! How could vanity play a role there? I have heard about women who wanted to be induced because their astrologer told them it was the...

  7. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I once knew a woman who could only talk about one thing, and it went like this: "Your husband's going to be really jealous of the baby. And most men cheat on their wives when they're pregnant. Once a...

  8. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was in sex education in the 1970s, our teacher told us that movie stars USED to have their babies that way in the belief that a lady partsl delivery would ruin their figures. I have heard of...

  9. How do you deal with Non-Urgent Patients

    rph3664 replied to mom2michael's topic in Emergency

    And it sounds like they're as clueless as most other

  10. Theatrical makeup ala tammy faye baker

    rph3664 replied to elizadream's topic in MICU, SICU

    It doesn't look professional in ANY setting. I once worked in an office with a woman who dressed and made herself up in a manner more appropriate to a wedding reception - tons of hairspray and heavy,...

  11. Pictures of bad practice from history?

    rph3664 replied to ladybugsea's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not to mention that on TV, doctors inform relatives of a patient's death or serious illness in the parking lot or a crowded hallway. And they sit by the patient's bedside waiting for the family to...

  12. Why do people think the hospital is like the Holiday Inn Express?!!! LONG...

    rph3664 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital does have a gym, but non-employees have to pay for its use. If she paid the $45 annual fee, they would have given her a pass good for a year.

    rph3664 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in retail pharmacy, the biggest whiners were the basically healthy people (almost always seniors, BTW) who probably had a million dollars stuffed in a mattress somewhere. People who...

  14. Bizzare

    rph3664 replied to magz53's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How old is the sorry excuse for a father? If he's older than, say, 21, shouldn't he be on the sex offender

    Go to my post #298 for more on

  16. Patients on Medicaid

    rph3664 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a post on the Phillipine Nursing board about how paying and non-paying patients are segregated, and the non-paying patients really do get inferior

  17. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    rph3664 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked at the grocery store pharmacy, telling a patient not to come back FOR ANY REASON was a firing offense "because our emphasis is on customer service." I hated it and people who have...

  18. High School student interested in becoming a nurse..

    rph3664 replied to abug621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call your local community college and ask if they have a CNA (certified nursing assistant) program this summer. If they do, you should take advantage of it. If you sign on with a hospital or (more...

  19. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    rph3664 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    p.s. An independent pharmacy in my city has, on more than one occasion, stopped filling Medicaid prescriptions because our state's reimbursement is so slow (up to a year behind :angryfire ) and they...

  20. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    rph3664 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the late 1990s, I saw a therapist who did not take any insurance. You paid up front and filed for reimbursement. That was her decision, and I certainly understood. And I once saw a spot on a...

  21. Doctor Practices that Dump Patients

    rph3664 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've posted this elsewhere on this board, but here I go again. In my old city of 300,000 population, very few dentists took Medicaid and the newspaper decided to investigate as to why. The dentists...

  22. Patients on Medicaid

    rph3664 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless your primary diagnosis is drug addiction, morbid obesity, back pain, or attention deficit disorder; in these cases, you walk in the door and say you have these conditions, or you encourage your...

  23. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    rph3664 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in pharmacy school, I had a few classes with dental students. Remember those kids in high school that nobody really liked but people hung around with them because it was cool to be seen...

  24. Patients on Medicaid

    rph3664 replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My doctor also requests payment up front. My attitude is, "I'm going to pay anyway, so might as well get it over with now." I'm guessing they've had people walk out the door without paying, so...

  25. Why do hospitals still have day/night rotations?

    rph3664 replied to edogs334's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a woman whose husband is a maintenance worker for a dam, through the Army Corps of Engineers. All of their employees do 2 weeks on 1st, 2 weeks on 2nd, and 2 weeks on 3rd, so it's not...
