   Don't You Just Love It?

   hiddencatRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I love it about as much as I love the pretense of "Articles" on allnurses. Seriously, this feature is ridiculous on an anonymous internet forum. All that separates articles from regular posts is the...

   A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

   hiddencatRN replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

   And re #5... it's not a reason not to but it's a reason why some women give up or don't try. If support for breastfeeding wasn't important, we wouldn't need lactation consultants. I think it's...

   A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

   hiddencatRN replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

   This is what I did. Logistically, it's the work of breast feeding and bottle feeding and the benefits of neither. I made it work and I know a lot of women do but there were weeks where I was fueled in...

   Nurses selling at work?

   hiddencatRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I'd have mentioned something to the doctor but I don't think it's a patient's place to remove things from the walls. That's a boundary overstep,

   A nurse who doesn't breastfeed

   hiddencatRN replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was able to pump at work for a year. Initially I pumped 3 times a shift but was quickly able to drop down to 2 pumps a shift. My unit was slow enough that it wasn't a problem although there was some...

   Not all formulas use corn syrup. Do you find your communication tactics are effective in encouraging breastfeeding? Because I find your language especially judgmental and inflammatory as

    Nurses selling at work?

    hiddencatRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't select any of those answers. I don't mind a catalogue out I can browse and buy or not buy from but any active selling really irritates me. I might be more inclined to buy something if it's a...

    why nursing is a mess. three simple facts

    hiddencatRN replied to chillnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There are a lot of things that frustrate me about nursing as a profession. But...fees? For licensure? That wouldn't even *make* my list let alone top it. I think the bickering over education makes...

    About That Avatar...

    hiddencatRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I've figured out people I know in the real world WITHOUT names and pics (and been discovered as well). I think people really underestimate how much their sentence structure and wording can give away,...

    The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    hiddencatRN replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With respect, ratlady called the pacifier birth plan mom an "ignorant weirdo." She explained away the "ignorant" portion in a later post as being a totally non-judgmental thing to say, but....c'mon....

    "Breastfeeding benefits overstated" study?

    hiddencatRN replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If there's a body of proof supporting breastfeeding instead of just assumptions, it can be useful in drafting policies that affect women and support breastfeeding. Laws requiring employers to support...

    "Breastfeeding benefits overstated" study?

    hiddencatRN replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for your thoughts on it, klone. That definitely helps me place it in a better perspective. When I first read it I wondered why I was exclusive pumping like a chump if the benefits were only...
