  1. Yelled At During A C-Section (Among Other Things)

    RN mom of 2 replied to RN1981's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry you are having such a rough time right now. It sounds like you are doing your best to work hard at something that can be quite scary and overwhelming at times. I think because OB is dealing...

  2. The Circumcision Discussion

    RN mom of 2 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I asked my hubby, and he said no one looked (to his knowledge) and no one ever talked about them. As a mom of two intact boys, I find all these "excuses" to circ absurd. After six months of research I...

  3. Getting burned out

    RN mom of 2 replied to Imafloat's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You are a very special person to feel this way. Reading that made me want to cry. I think being a compassionate person can be a curse as much as it is a blessing. I'm not working as an RN right now,...

  4. Lack of confidence in skills, knowledge, experience... trying to return to nursing..

    RN mom of 2 replied to Buttercupkitten3's topic in General Nursing

    This is a wonderful way to look at it! I am still struggling with returning to work. I've been away for 8 yrs now and it makes it even more daunting to go back. I'm going to keep what you stated in...

  5. Circumcision

    RN mom of 2 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi! I'm wondering if preemies get circumcised, and if so, are all RNs expected to assist? I really want to work in NICU, but I'm morally opposed to circumcision, so I would not want to be a part of...

    RN mom of 2 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I want to thank all of you for your responses. :) I do understand that there are moral dilemmas you must deal with in the NICU that are beyond your control. It must be so difficult at times. As a mom,...

  8. My Poor Hands have been Washed Raw

    RN mom of 2 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have this problem and it flares up in the cold/windy months. My hands (especially the right one) have been cracking and bleeding the last few days. Our pediatrician saw my hands one visit and said,...

  9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    RN mom of 2 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me when I was a kid. I'm sure I was awake and lying on my back, when I felt my feet and legs lifting out of my body. I felt very peaceful, but then I got scared thinking I was dying...

  11. Can nursing schools kick out students who are overweight?

    RN mom of 2 replied to veritas's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it truly is a shame. I have to say, I dreaded having to see him. At the time, I felt very vulnerable being pg, so I didn't speak up. I think if I saw him now I'd let him know exactly what I...

  14. Can nursing schools kick out students who are overweight?

    RN mom of 2 replied to veritas's topic in General Nursing

    Let's face it...... overweight/obese people are discriminated against, and probably always will be. As my overweight friend used to say, we are treated like second class citizens in many situations....

  15. Tips for speed without sacrificing accuracy?

    RN mom of 2 replied to cherokeesummer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    cherokeesummer, I'm not a NICU nurse, but I'm seriously considering it. I can tell by reading your posts that you are already a good nurse. I think you are going to be a fabulous one in the future!...

  16. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    RN mom of 2 replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think we all come from dysfunctional families (some more than others, of course). Being human and imperfect means there can be no perfect upbringing. There is a difference between...

  17. Oddest things found in a patient!

    RN mom of 2 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah....it's THAT part. Without getting too graphic, she explained that the parts swell up and can't be unstuck on their own. The more they try to pull apart the worse it gets.

    RN mom of 2 replied to sherry-New RN's topic in General Nursing

    I started a new job early in my pg, and I didn't disclose that information. I only kept the job 5 mos, because I needed to go on bed rest. I did give them 2 weeks notice. I didn't like the job anyway,...

    RN mom of 2 replied to vikingrn's topic in General Nursing

    RN mom of 2 replied to NTPinky's topic in General Nursing
