Hello all, I've been trying to find the answers, but I'm just not sure. Here lately, I have had baby fever. I can't help it, when 4 women in my department are pg! One lost the baby, the second one is due any day now, the third is due next month, ...

I, too, have been researching WLS since March 2001, and HOPEFULLY my hubby and I will have surgery by the end of this year. FINALLY! I have a new job, with new insurance, etc, etc. With that said, I know a lot about this surgery, and you probably...

I agree the lawsuit is ridiculous. Is there really a need to SUPER-SIZE?!?!?!?! I mean if you go with what is considered a proportional meal, super-size, whata-size, etc, etc, etc, should be removed from the menu. I know this is all common sense,...

BROWNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been wondering where you've been! I know you were moving to AZ, so I figured you were getting settled, and maybe lurking around allnurses? At my job for 3 weeks now and LOVING it! Now if I could just get...

I start the end of August, and I'm taking General Biology (2 nights/week), Life-span psychology and medical terminology (both online/web). Term goes from the end of August to about the 2nd-3rd week of December (before Christmas). How can I find ou...

I was looking at the babies on the hospital website lastnight - they're all so adorable. Here are some names I came across Princess Porshay Tierra Heiress Chloriss Chasity Deanne and Kasity Leanne (twins) Summer Sage Mary Margaret Virginia (sounds l...

You mean me wanting to wear scrubs and own a stethoscope isn't a good answer? :rotfl: Seriously, I changed my major to nursing because I like helping people. At the end of the day, I like to know that I made a difference. I'm so tired right now ...

You know what...I just read a post on one of our local wls surgeons sites. There's this girl on there who had open rny, but the surgeon found cancer when he opened her up and aborted the rny. She has been following the post op diet since August 200...

And another thing....LVRN does not look like she would/could qualify for wls. Most insurance guidelines start off with "BMI over 40"

Dennie...are you sure?? That looks like my 17lb Zeus! I would love a BIG cat, but I know they're not domesticated. I may be closer to wls surgery. Well, I've been trying since 3/2001, and have been denied because of several obstacles...none of ...

AWESOME!!!!!

JHUnurse, I'm not married to a dr, but I like the way you think! Specifically: "Let's face it, my nursing salary will not be enough to live in NYC, where I want to live, AND support a family." I can't help it, I LOVE NYC!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I can't believe I have a smirk across my face right now!

If that guy is still there, he must have some dirt on who ever has the power to fire his nasty self!

I was wondering if this exact thing one day. That is yucky! Why would they keep the guy there...has he done this before??

Welcome Darby! Congrats on getting accepted into your nursing program. I start my pre-req's in the fall...(if they aren't full by now) I am taking Biology, Life-Span Psychology(online), and Medical Terminology(online). Could you tell me about the...

Ohh...I tear up at the thought of losing my cats...I can't imagine how you feel. I'm sorry for the loss of your Sophie.

I hate managers like that. :angryfire I'm a student, but I've had managers in other jobs that were the same way. Somedays you feel like what's the point?!?! It doesn't help if you're new either. Why do managers, ALL managers, always blast emp...

susanmary, positive thoughts and prayers for you and your friend. :kiss

Welcome MamaTrauma!

Welcome Lisa!!!!

dang moni! shouldn't you have a phd with all of your degrees?

I'm not a nurse yet, but I have to agree with Sleepyeyes. The nosey nurse has no business tending to everyone elses patients, except her own! If the pts family has questions...hunt the pts nurse down!

Tonight I caught an episode of Code Blue on TLC. When operating on the stomach area, they always put this large, tape-like thingy, over the part to be operated on. What is it, and why do they do it? Also, when removing damaged organs from the bod...

No news yet my friends on any job offer. Hubby finally let me on the puter late last night after he played some games. To my discovery BAD NEWS regarding WorldCom and hubby is doing some work for them. He's not employed by WorldCom, and he's no...
