  1. Had a mom flip out on me today...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Pediatric

    I just wonder...what is wrong with some people? Yeah, it's hard when your kid has to be poked or prodded or stuck, but it's teaching the child nothing but fear to see a PARENT flip out like that. Mom...

  2. Curious about birth control

    BSNtobe2009 replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You need to go see your OB-GYN if you think you are pregnant and taking birth control pills or other oral contraception, because that it what it sounds like you are concerned about. The internet is...

  3. How do I get my child to take medicine?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    My mother used to tell me a big fat lie, but it worked. She said, "you can either swallow the medicine or we will go to the doctor, EVERY DAY for a SHOT, because you have to have it. Your

  4. car seats

    BSNtobe2009 replied to babycatcher2B's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Say what????? If it takes a certified tech to figure out how to intall a car seat properly, then how do they expect the parents to figure it

  5. Protecting my license

    BSNtobe2009 replied to cassie1682's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is why she needs to contact the Board of Nursing to find out what her liability is....this would only apply if there was a medical emergency or an accident while the twins are in her care. It...

  6. Protecting my license

    BSNtobe2009 replied to cassie1682's topic in Texas Nursing

    I totally agree, I don't think you can sign your liability away

  7. Article in the NYT: The Weighty Responsibility of Drinking for Two

    BSNtobe2009 replied to scribblerpnp's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I personally, don't think OB-GYN's should even tell people that they can drink alcohol in "moderation"...it thins the blood, and I don't see the point. I get chronic migraines and tension headaches,...

  8. Professor Bloopers

    BSNtobe2009 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the word "unfair" is kind of funny to ask on a test. Too bad they didin't have a catagory for "poorly constructed and

  9. What happens if you leave a sponge?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in Operating Room

    Oh hey, you don't need to look that up...that's easy. You get sued :rotfl: Put that on a test and see if you get an A.

  10. How Many Nurses are Glad They Have a Union

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Simplepleasures's topic in General Nursing

    The union was the very reason they couldn't fire my mother (when they tried to) after working almost 40 years in the same hospital...the last 5 years they were doing everything they could to get her...

  11. New Grads - Rotten Shifts?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to MililaniMom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you brought this up, because this GREATLY concerns me when I graduate. I don't mind working either shift...that is for me personally. Since most hospitals are going to 12 hour shifts, my...

  12. The future of Nursing ?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Until the nursing shortage corrects itself, I don't think it's going to change at all on a education level. I do see NP's being more in demand, and in fact, I believe that for minor things like colds,...

  13. grading written papers / assignments

    BSNtobe2009 replied to psalm_55's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thank you for the clarification...you are right, there is no way you can go through all of that not be slapping yourself in the face to stay awake! HMMMM...I'm picking my brain and thinking if I had a...

  14. probems with a coworker

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Lightning Bug RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Augigi completely. The last thing you want to happen is for the NM to round the corner and see both of you there. We have all had co-workers who stomp their feet, and have a hissy, and...

  15. Boss Did My Annual Review--without Me..

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    You feel short-changed because you were short changed. Managers are well-aware when reviews are due and "throwing something together" just to meet some HR requirement isn't doing you or him any good....

  16. I woke up during surgery, Have you?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to GatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Discovery Health did a whole documentary on Anesthesia awareness. I don't believe that it's negligent for a CRNA or a DA, if a patient happens to wake up....briefly. However, they were explaining how...

  17. Anyone heard of this award?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, it's a scam, my Mom got one, and she's dead. They do them for different professions as

  18. grading written papers / assignments

    BSNtobe2009 replied to psalm_55's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I think it would depend. I strongly feel that who gives the assignment should grade ALL of the papers associated with that assignment. Inconsistent grading among different instructors for the same...

  19. pregnancy..birth control,etc

    BSNtobe2009 replied to PACU queen's topic in General Nursing

    Yup...taking my home test was the hardest thing I ever had to do, especially when you have a feeling in your gut. For me exhaustion, like I had taken a sleeping pill coupled with tenderness in my...

  20. TEAS test.. calculator for Math section?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to LaceyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey everyone...don't laugh! I had to find a 5th grade math website to help me learn the "long" way to do fractions, whole numbers, etc. I've dealt with percentages for so long I didn't even know...

  21. Protecting my license

    BSNtobe2009 replied to cassie1682's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would probably call the Board of Nursing on that one. Some states will hold you to the same legal standard of care as your highest level of training, and only they can answer if your state looks at...

  22. is there a benefit to this?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lyndsaynicole's topic in Nursing Career

    Me personally? I think it's a huge waste of time because they teach you what a CNA does when you do your RN training. Now, some of the CC's require CNA certification, but most of the time it's not...

  23. Does anyone mainain a house while traveling

    BSNtobe2009 replied to goldilocks's topic in Travel

    Owning a home is about the only tax deduction you get if you are single and have no children, so it's well worth

  24. The parrot in the clinic!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Antikigirl's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ok, this one is a true story: A friend that I have in NY has a neighbor that has a parrot. His apartment is has a window on the busy side of a street, and guess what his parrot can immitate? Car...

  25. Had a rough time in college...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lady_db_programmer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This has happened to ALOT of students, and it doesn't mean that you are forever barred from advancing your education. I would call the college and explain your situation and see if they have a grade...
