  1. What size scrub pants do you wear and what size jeans?

    HoneyDew70 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Grey's Anatomy selection fit me just fine and I am curvy with "strong" thighs and a good-sized bosom. The large flattered my size 14 and I didn't look boxy or

  2. Acceptable Mens Hair Styles

    HoneyDew70 replied to stayhappy's topic in General Nursing

    It would have been rough for you then for the most part of human civilization. Think back to the ancient Greeks and Romans and think of their dress. You can go even further back. Check out images of...

  3. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    HoneyDew70 replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly so, because, you know, pregnancy is a communicable disease and speaks poorly of a woman who "allowed" herself to get pregnant in the same years as her managing her

  4. New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    HoneyDew70 replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started L&D orientation in the top hospital in NYC with another RN who was "ready to pop," as we say. Four weeks into orientation she went into labor and went back to orientation after two...

  6. Patients and the race card

    HoneyDew70 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It apparently makes a difference to you as shown in your first response to the OP. Bad behaving/suspicious/antagonistic people are of every culture and color. And that's just the nurses for starters....

  7. Patients and the race card

    HoneyDew70 replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In the US, we are not a melting pot as you seem to think. We also refer to ourselves with the ancestral homeland hyphen American thing. I have no problem with the rest of your post except a question...

  8. What should have been said? Did i do the right thing?

    HoneyDew70 replied to Jay2daq's topic in General Nursing

    (I wondered what a "braniac" was ... why would someone's rabid love of bran be cause for insult? And then it hit me ... Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread.) Wanted to add that I was devastated...

  9. Students in Delivery Room

    HoneyDew70 replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. I have been the labor nurse and, on one occasion, present in rooms where my RN friends were giving birth. It did give me a "too familiar" feeling. I think I would ban the students this time....

  10. Get it off your chest! What's the rudest thing a doctor ever said to you?

    HoneyDew70 replied to vhern246's topic in General Nursing

    I was brand new at my facility and was observing a procedure. Doc wanted me to assist in the procedure and I was hesitant since I was clueless about what equipment he needed and another nurse was...

  11. A Major reason for Hiring freeze

    HoneyDew70 replied to BackfromRetirement's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, I thought the hiring freeze had to do mostly with the economy that tanked through the fiasco with the lending companies --Sallie and Freddi Mae and Wall Street come to mind, and the housing bubble...

    HoneyDew70 replied to bjb12's topic in Ob/Gyn

  13. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    HoneyDew70 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    ROFLMBO!

  14. Posting advice: "I can't do this, ...I don't understand you"

    HoneyDew70 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Cmonkey, I do get what you are saying. On a forum, it doesn't cost more if you spell out the words as they are commonly used. I can understand it a little when you have to pay for each text sent. It...

  15. Suspended

    HoneyDew70 replied to ajuma's topic in General Nursing

    Don't quit. I am not sure why they have been "targeting" you from the start, but if you quit before you know the what the ADON wants to do to address the issue, you may never learn and grow from this...

  16. How long in bed for post C/S mothers?

    HoneyDew70 replied to MeditationPeace's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep, I think gas pains are worse than the incision pain once the spinal wears off. I had two sections myself and the first one was a mess. Thank goodness by my second time around I had nurses who were...

  17. How long in bed for post C/S mothers?

    HoneyDew70 replied to MeditationPeace's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I did L&D we got them up post C/S around the 8-hour mark and they would ambulate to the bathroom where we sat them on the toilet and gave their perineal area a good rinsing off. They would...

  18. Faith-based Hospitals.. can anyone apply?

    HoneyDew70 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    The vast majority of Adventists are pro-choice, so keep that bumpersticker. We believe it's strictly a woman's right to choose. You know, I thought I made up the whole "Jesus was a liberal" thing --...

  19. Help! What to wear to 1st day of Orientation??

    HoneyDew70 replied to NYRN09's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with business casual - nice tailored slacks or skirt with a jacket and an inside blouse/camisole. No sneakers, jeans or scrubs. No jewelry that clanks when you move. Hair neat and perhaps...

  20. Abortion in nursing school rotations?

    HoneyDew70 replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I did quite a number of fetal demises in a few short months and we would offer to get the babies' pictures taken. One nurse knitted beautiful clothes for them and we would dress them being careful...

  21. Greatest Nursing Item You Ever Bought

    HoneyDew70 replied to Sponkie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I went through four pairs of shoes before I finally broke down and bought Nike Shox running sneakers. No limping, no soreness, no tiredness anymore. That was worth the

    Right, but not virginal

  23. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

    HoneyDew70 replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

    hear, hear! nurses used to wear aprons too. oh, and for those in love with the historical concept of nursing, the early nurses were "uncommon women."...

  24. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

    HoneyDew70 replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

    I have heavy periods, period. So no thanks to the white. I'd be a nervous wreck. When I was a young girl, I remember seeing my mom's friend with a great big "accident" on the back of her dress. This...
