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 bigger.

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 fairly recent dress codes circa 16th to 18th centur...

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 career.

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 months off with baby. Her job was never in jeopardy due...

Dr. G. Eagle, optometrist Dr. Seamen, urologist who performs vasectomies.

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. Every so-called minority person in this country k...

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 about the highlighted section above. In the two exa...

Wait, did no one stop her the moment they saw her begin to snort the crushed medication? Did they wait for her to finish snorting and then rubbing it on her gums before action was taken? Where was the nurse manager or supervisor? If nearly an entire ...

(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 when my ob repeatedly told me I need an hysterectomy...

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. It's your family time. Students have other deliver...

Insert her real name (not online community name) in the sentence. For example, "Good evening, my name is Jennie, and I will be your nurse today."

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 getting things ready for him. He yells, "Don't just s...

I screamed with laughter reading this. Great thread.

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 which burst big time. Small businesses haven't be...

What about her psychological well-being? Anxiety? Safety teachings?

ROFLMBO!

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 makes me work harder to decipher what is being said...

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 experience. Is there more to the story? There is n...

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 proactive in getting me moving.

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 say that's when they began feeling like themselves a...

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 -- that's what I keep telling my husband, anyway.

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 pulled back in a loose bun.

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 given their condition to take photos in their best po...

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 money.

Right, but not virginal white.
