  1. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    tvccrn replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a family member killed by not wearing a seatbelt and one killed while riding in the back of a truck. Funny thing is, the one not wearing a seatbelt....he was usually a fanatic about...

  2. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    tvccrn replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    So very true. Thank you for reminding us that it isn't just humans that are in danger. The animals have to rely on us to keep them safe and a lot of people do a very poor job at it.

  3. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    tvccrn replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    In New York state, it's a violation for using the cell phone while driving and you CAN be stop for that alone. I think it shoukld be the law in every state. And don't think that the hands-free...

  4. What to like about your state

    tvccrn replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, someone else had already posted the site.

  5. we're pregnant

    tvccrn replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm on the "we're pregnant" bandwagon. Believe you me, it wasn't just me that got me this way and he has a hand in everything. He is experiencing the sympathy pregnancy ALL the way,sometimes, he...

  6. Can anyone give me insight to Marshfield?

    tvccrn replied to tizmonster's topic in General Nursing

    I also work at St. Joe's and am baffled by some comments by the previous poster. Not state of the art? How many other hospitals in Wisconsin have the intra-op MRI, the PET scanner onsite, the GAMMA...

  7. You Know You're a Young(er) Nurse when...

    tvccrn replied to cristina26houston's topic in General Nursing

    I can see why you would want to skip the day-to-day of the med/surg nursing, but I think it does a lot for reinforcing the teaching you went through in school. Yes, it's hard, back-breaking work, but...

  8. Information on a skin cream

    tvccrn replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I would see if the doctor that prescribed the medication can get you some more information on it. Or possibly go to the manufactureer's website and search there.

  9. Adoption option?

    tvccrn replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm glad that you are seeing that, but here where I live it's not

  10. Adoption option?

    tvccrn replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was a teen Mom myself. I had my son when I was 17. I lived in a small East Texas town and it was 1984, not really the "IN" thing at the time. I attended school up until the christmas holidays (he...

  11. You Know You're an Old(er) Nurse If . . .

    tvccrn replied to hollyvk's topic in General Nursing

    Still do that here in our cath lab. Heck, we just got rid of the waters hood and the only reason for that is that they don't make the replacement parts anymore.

  12. Your Facility On Tv

    tvccrn replied to MsLady06's topic in General Nursing

    Our facility is on the local news all the time. The also have a segment called "Health Connections" and our cath lab (where I work) is on there quite a bit.

  13. license to breed

    tvccrn replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    I would put the baby, in the car seat, IN the crib, but not on the floor. Not unless I was awake and watching. I guess, I'm different from other people. I feel that the car seat is for the car and...

    I would put the baby, in the car seat, IN the crib, but not on the floor. Not unless I was awake and watching.

  15. You Know You're an Old(er) Nurse If . . .

    tvccrn replied to hollyvk's topic in General Nursing

    2 weeks??? Not sure where you work, but here they are home in 3 days.

  16. license to breed

    tvccrn replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    Irregardless of which pet did this, I have some questions. What was the baby doing on the floor in a car seat all night? Why weren't those animals being fed? If the Mom knew the ferret was out, why...

  17. The Circumcision Discussion

    tvccrn replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Those worked. And they are very, very disturbing. Thank you.

  18. The Circumcision Discussion

    tvccrn replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a Mom-to-be, I am still on the fence about this. Yes, my other two sons are uncircumcized and one wishes he had been. Everytime I read things like this it goes further toward no circumcision. I...

  19. What have they done for you lately?

    tvccrn replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not what he has done for me, but what he is all year long. Now, if you knew our assistant NM, you would wonder if this man is ever happy. He always grumbles (to put it nicely) and never has a nice...

  20. Why not question pts about their eating habits?

    tvccrn replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    There is one inherent problem with comparing weight issues to smoking or drinking. No every weight problem is related to poor diet or exercise. For years, I was (and still am) obese. Because of my...

  21. The Circumcision Discussion

    tvccrn replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to laugh at this post Timothy. One of my sons had almost the same reaction!!! My 20 year old just clammed up and said, "Mom, you shouldn't be talking about my thing online." My 22 year old...

  22. Membrane stripping?

    tvccrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have seen talk of this on another site that I am on and was wondering just what the heck this is. It sounds very painful. How often is this performed and what are the implications for the...

  23. Membrane stripping?

    tvccrn replied to tvccrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, so this isn't something new that the docs are trying out. But, it seems that some of them are doing this without informing the patient. Not good. Thank all ya'll for the informative replies....

  24. Wisconsin Nurse being charged with criminal neglect

    tvccrn replied to psalm_55's topic in General Nursing

    I think that crackerjack has made some very valid points in a well-thought out and presented post.

  25. Membrane stripping?

    tvccrn replied to tvccrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for the information. I have had three children and never heard of this. now 15 years later, I hear about it a lot and was just wondering if it was the latest fad or what.
