    mother/babyRN replied to nardongputik2's topic in General Nursing

    3rd shift guy...Interesting that viewpoint is from a man.....Women feel differently...Flame or no flame, there comes a point when you have to make responsible choices...As I said previously, if it is...

  2. Teacher and Student Intimate Relationship: Is it ok?

    mother/babyRN replied to nardongputik2's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, and I don't care if I DO get inflamed...Get back together when the student has either graduated or left school...A true love relationship could withstand that....Any other scenario is unethical...

  5. Tele to OB

    mother/babyRN replied to rndiva1908's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was a step down cardiac care unit nurse before I came to OB and that helped and continues to help me immensely...Not only with figuring out and quickly suspecting pulmonary edema and/or chf, but...

  6. An Over-population of nurses?

    mother/babyRN replied to salvati08's topic in General Nursing

    There is a shortage of nurses who desire to do patient care because, largely, the way we are treated and not respected as well as nursing's push to shove everyone into degree status..Many of those...

    mother/babyRN replied to wannanbnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Try everything once and after you graduate and have experienced all levels of nursing, or at least many, then figure it out...Working post partum or a well nursery does NOT guarantee a healthy...

  8. How many of you married doctors?

    mother/babyRN replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

  9. How many of you married doctors?

    mother/babyRN replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had luck with engineers either, but I STILL would reccommend them over doctors...At any rate, marry someone you can love and trust, someone to cherish who will also cherish you. It is when...

    mother/babyRN replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not me..Came close but am glad I ended up where I did...The student who started this thread should know that there seems to be a part of you who DOES want to be involved with a doc and if thats the...

  11. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    mother/babyRN replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    If I discover something like a bedsore ( in my former nursing life), or someone slipped in the bathroom and actually fell, impacting any part of their anatomy with the floor, if a medication is...

  12. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    mother/babyRN replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    Supposed to be that the person who discovers the incident, files the incident report. There is great misconception that if you discover something related to another nurse or shift, you wait for them...

    There will always be people who nap on the night shift, meaning that eyes closed ...I never condoned it and couldn't and wouldn't do it myself...Old school,however,if someone is exhausted and it isn't...

  14. The Circumcision Discussion

    mother/babyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From the beginning of time, most cultures did not do circs...There was no need. I think it is a personal thing and of course people should be allowed to choose whether or not they want to hack off a...

  15. The Circumcision Discussion

    mother/babyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have three sons and none of them are circumcised...I elected to have them be the ones who made the decision especially since it involved such a sensitive area...My husband, who is circumcised,...

    mother/babyRN replied to 14yearLPN's topic in General Nursing

    James, you perhaps have never been there. I don't condone it either, but things happen. You cannot ever convince me that every caring, empathetic intelligent care giver has never once "slapped"...

  18. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    mother/babyRN replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    Well, although I feel it shouldn't take either a rocket scientist or cheapo administration to figure out that to keep us appreciative might just mean treating us accordingly, my husband did send me a...

    mother/babyRN replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    mother/babyRN replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As for social and convenience inductions, of which we see all too many, I have lately had plenty of patients who wanted to be induced to suit their schedules. We recently had a patient do her own vag...

  23. Home birth vs. hospital

    mother/babyRN replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. postpartum patient discharge

    mother/babyRN replied to trixie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Same with us Mark, however I have noticed at my newest facility that it is not always the nurse who goes down with the patient so they have taught the techs to observe the car seat
