  1. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Daywalker replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Funniest. Post.

  2. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Daywalker replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you are non-compliant diabetic, do not complain when I come to draw your blood every 2 hrs because you passed out after downing 20oz of pop (NOT diet) and 2 cinnamon danishes, and haven't taken...

  3. Sooooo.... What if I decided to go back? (long)

    Daywalker replied to JadziaSolo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Go for it! Your experience will be invaluable, and you'll be the best nurse you can be when doing something you feel passionate about. Good

  4. Admits after 6:00 pm? Does your hospital do this?

    Daywalker replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    You must work at my hospital! The pt's usually arrive on the floor with labs and ECG's pending, too (my biggest beef, since ER is supposed to do those things, and I'm busy enough as it is). Our...

  5. Teenage Obesity (long)

    Daywalker replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with getting her to an endocrinologist, especially if she is showing signs of Cushing's. She is also at the prime age to develop PCOS, and, in my experience, most family docs don't know which...

  6. breast feeding with nipple sheilds

    Daywalker replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My SIL pumped and bottled for 6 months with my nephew - he was tongue-tied, and by the time it was clipped, he refused to latch. She was given a lot of grief over this, but, it's breastmilk, not the...

  7. I'm not "WIPING BUTTS"

    Daywalker replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. I'm a lab assistant, and I have helped patients toilet, washed backs, dressed, undressed, set up meal trays, and wiped up urine. NONE of those things are in my "job description", but the pt...

  8. breast feeding with nipple sheilds

    Daywalker replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first baby had a horrible latch; I actually pumped and bottled for a few weeks while my breasts healed. The nipple shield was invaluable in reintroducing the breast. I was able to ditch the...

  9. Interesting places where women have given birth

    Daywalker replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My Mom was born in the elevator on the way up to the delivery room (Grandma just stood up from the wheelchair, and there was Mom!), and we had a woman deliver on the subway platform last year (she was...

  10. Online MICROBIOLOGY CLASS??

    Daywalker replied to Julialuk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a lab assistant, but I trained as a lab technologist. As such, I've taken several Micro courses. It's a subject best learned with labs, if you can manage a lab course (don't know how busy you...

  11. license to breed

    Daywalker replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    Hope not. I have two kids, and am being (successfully) treated for

  12. license to breed

    Daywalker replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    I agree. Heck, it's illegal to own them at all where I

  13. license to breed

    Daywalker replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    How come people with pets don't keep them out of the bedroom? Especially if there's a child in there? Honestly, the animals will survive if they are in another part of the

  14. license to breed

    Daywalker replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    You need a licence to drive, a licence to own a gun and have to go through an exhaustive home study, interviews, classes and background checks to adopt, but any idiot with the right plumbing can have...

  15. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    Daywalker replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a teen-age O.D. in ICU complain that I "just wanted to see her tits" when I was placing the leads for an ECG. She'd been complaining the whole time about what needed to be done, and this was...

  16. Enraged (venting)

    Daywalker replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    They go into the monitored seclusion room, with the cops stationed outside, and if we need to go in, we don't go

  17. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    Daywalker replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    OMG!! Too funny!:rotfl:

  18. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    Daywalker replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    For frequent flyers: Why are you back again? The food's not that good. For male flashers (when taking blood): Is that the vein you want me to use? When removing ECG leads from hairy men: Just...

  19. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Daywalker replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Sorry. This started in the "elective C-section" discussion; not sure how it ended up over

  20. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Daywalker replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Good luck! I had a scheduled induction with baby #1 (10 lbs, 1oz), due to increased BP. After the birth, everything (physically) returned to normal in short order. After becoming a parent, you are...

  21. Enraged (venting)

    Daywalker replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Don't sweat it. He won't, and you were defending yourself. Our facility won't handle patients like that until they have come down enough to be

  22. Elective Primary C/S

    Daywalker replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also have scoliosis and am overweight, but both my epis were just great, and it wasn't any more difficult for the docs to put them in. It just goes up higher. You'll be fine if you end up needing...

  23. Elective Primary C/S

    Daywalker replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ummm... 6 weeks early to avoid stretch marks? With that logic, I'd have had to give birth at 18 weeks

  24. Elective Primary C/S

    Daywalker replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had both babies by emergency C-section, and wish that the VBAC with baby #2 had worked. I prefered the labour (23 1/2 hrs and 30 hrs) to the post-op pain and blood loss. It's not like having...

  25. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Daywalker replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    When you bring your child to the ER, don't get mad when we have to take blood, do x-rays, start an I.V., etc. We do tend to assume that things are serious if you are in ER, and take no chances...
