  1. opinions about epidurals

    tvccrn replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have had three children starting at a young age. With all 3 I was on medicaid and was never offered the option of an epidural. I am one of those women who remembers that there was pain, but can't...

  2. Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    tvccrn replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    You conveniently left out the rest of my post where I said those very words you have in your post....

  3. Video cameras banned in L&D

    tvccrn replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    why would a picture of the apgar be illegal, but not a picture of all the other, more invasive procedures?

  4. Camera phones in the ER

    tvccrn replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    it's also very easy with the software these days to manipulate video/pictures to change circumstances. I certainly don't want pictures taken of me without my permission. not for fear of lawsuit,...

  5. RN school and tattoos?

    tvccrn replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    I also said that these women have said that THEY would have had one. To me that's not, not trying to anger me that's saying they would have had one if times would have allowed.

  6. RN school and tattoos?

    tvccrn replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Wisconsin and take care of people from many different nationalities. The argument that little old ladies will find it offensive don't hold water with me. The number of little old ladies...

  7. Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    tvccrn replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    It does if the hospital is run by catholics, baptists, etc. It's their hospital and they can do what they want with it. However, I happen to love where I work. So much so, that when I moved from...

  8. Where were u 9/11/01?

    tvccrn replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I was on call and getting ready for work. I lived less than 1/2 mile from the hospital. When I first heard it, they thought it was an accident. by the time I walked to work, they knew it was a...

  9. Catholic hospitals-yes or no?

    tvccrn replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think the not covering domestic partners is strictly a catholic issue. I have worked in many different facilities and none of them covered domestic partners.

  10. Who should I deal with, HR or NM?

    tvccrn replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I just applied for the job and they contacted me about an interview. i did have to let my NM know that I was going for the interview, but nothing about the transfer was arranged until I got the...

  11. Who should I deal with, HR or NM?

    tvccrn replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, sorry I can't help. The one time I made a system transfer, I had the offer before the arragements were made. That way if you didn't get the offer then you didn't have the situation of having to...

  12. Who should I deal with, HR or NM?

    tvccrn replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    One question that begs to be answered is why did you already make arragements for the transfer if you had no formal

  13. Tips on how NOT to appear like a Drug seeker

    tvccrn replied to WillowBrook's topic in Emergency

    This comment just shows one of the reasonings that people are worried about it. That there are others out there who judge them because they ARE in pain and have been in pain multiple times and...

  14. You know you work nights when.......

    tvccrn replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I was the only one who had ever called up family at (what they considered) an ungodly hour just to make a point. I called my exMIL up at 4 AM one morning to ask about borrowing some flour...

  15. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    tvccrn replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone keeps saying that they went to medical school and deserve the respect. Then how about demanding that they respect us for the work we do? We go to school, we take care of their patients, we...

  16. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    You are not a nurse yet. According to your profile you are a nursing STUDENT. Big difference.

  17. Madison vs. Milwaukee

    tvccrn replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to either Madison or Milwaukee, but I work in Marshfield and we have a Level 1 trauma center here. The area is great and the pay isn't anything to sneeze at. Don't knock us here in the...

  18. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Therein lies the fault in your continuing argument. The VENTING here is about the patients that CAN HELP the situation, not the ones that can't help

  19. Do we HAVE to address docs by "Dr.--"

    tvccrn replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work now it's Dr. X but when I worked in Boston, it was first names. That took a bit of getting used to for me. I will never forget when I worked in the PICU, the intensivist there was Dr. X...

  20. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Please reread her post. She said she didn't know what each pill costs, but she does know what they do, what their side effects are, and why you need

  21. Paitent Coded; All Went Poorly

    tvccrn replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Just to show that these things don't always happen in LTC. I was a new RN of only 9 months and working in a very small community hospital. Our hospital was 22 beds counting the 3 in our SCU. We had...

  22. Biomedical Ethics discussion about Stem Cell Research

    tvccrn replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm at work and can't listen at the moment, but paln to once I get home. I have one question. Now keep in mind that I haven't learn a lot about stem cell research, but I seem to remember a mention of...

  23. Ok I need somehelp here with coworkers

    tvccrn replied to nighteyes719's topic in General Nursing

    In the facility I work for and when I was going through nursing school, we were taught this was NOT the way to do this. You are to sign out the meds when the patient takes them. Of course, the ideal...

  24. Can anyone confirm

    tvccrn replied to tianaman's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the company, but I do know unless you contacted them first then it's probably not worth your time. Not exactly sure what you mean by taking up your NCLEX, but $4000.00...

  25. why all the rudeness?

    tvccrn replied to christymwinn's topic in General Nursing

    Gonzo just made an observation that is well worth comtemplating. The rising level of hostility in relation to the rising level of stress. I cna see where the would hold true. however, I can see the...
