  1. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perfect answer to lizz question. When someone exercises their right to decline prescribed treatment, it is not the same as suicide. There may be other motives for doing so other than suicide, such as...

  2. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    sbic56 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Probably OR...no life there I love OB and psych...It's a new reality show every

  3. Why is Hep C. not considered to be a barrier isolation situation?

    sbic56 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I love your no BS, common sense approach to things. :) Great

  4. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think part of this has to do with the different philosophy in OB. It is expected that family be supportive during labor where as in other specialties, family is not so much in the picture. The...

  5. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Being another who would not sue for something as this I have to respond. The only time I believe suits should be allowed is when there is gross negligence or wanton disregard for someone elses well...

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jolie...wow, you know your legalese!Thanks for the explanation. I hope we get to see how this turns

  7. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry about that. I was thinking if someone slipped and fell and had a viable suit there had to be a reason other than being a klutz. I am so amazed at what people will do to get money and that they...

  8. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There was no negligence in this case like there might be if someone slipped in a puddle at walmart. The guy wasn't assisting, but supporting his wife, as is common practice in labor these days. If...

  9. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    puss? Are we back in OB? :rotfl: (sorry, couldn't

  10. I think i' losing my mind

    sbic56 replied to soulsearchin''s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe geting the LPN could be a short term goal. Like others said, it will make it easier to get into an RN upgrade program later once you have a few years on the floor under your belt. LPN's may not...

  11. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We can only hope this wise words prove

  12. a woman has the third triplet years later

    sbic56 replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    With all the personal info this lady divulged to the media, I doubt heatherp needs to worry about confidentiality! True, though, we do need to be careful how we mention stuff on

  13. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't really agree on either point as far as how the court would look at this. The RN does not usually "hug"/ hold the patient either...most times no one does this. The anesthesiologist has the...

  14. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good point. After all, dad could snip off a finger with that sharp medical implement. Here might be some grounds to a case because of letting him participate in a procedure for which he was untrained....

  15. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BETSRN...you are clearly passionate about this topic and I think you give excellent argument for your viewpoints! The anesthesiologist does ask the family to leave during epidural placement where I...

  16. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    sbic56 replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sad story, but no grounds for a suit. Such a dangerous precedent to set, too. Imagine the possibilities. What happened to personal responsibilty? Someone always has to pay when something bad happens....

  17. Should there be a limit on trying to pass NCLEX?

    sbic56 replied to 2ndCareerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had initially thought there should be a limit, but then I thought it would be better to find out if those who take the boards, say more than 3 times, are as competent as those who pass it in less...

  18. Removing a Catheter from a male pt

    sbic56 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Too funny. :rotfl: Seriously, I think the OP's husband is telling tales and swearing to

  19. Patients knowing medical lingo

    sbic56 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Great point...knowledge is

  20. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    sbic56 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That must be it. One never knows when they may get assaulted by a hot cup o' joe!

  21. Patients knowing medical lingo

    sbic56 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    It's because you are a new nurse...when I catch myself, I correct it, but like I said....these words become your regular vocalbulary once you use them for say 15-20

  22. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    sbic56 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Advertising?

  23. Patients knowing medical lingo

    sbic56 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if anyone else did this. The terms we use become so second nature, I forget that they aren't laymen's terms sometimes, too. And who hasn't written the abbreviation for "with" when...

  24. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    sbic56 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good plan. At 20. I think you can expect the minimum degree in nursing to be raised to BSN in your career. It won't be for several years, as the shortage won't allow for it, but I'd be prepared to get...

  25. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

    sbic56 replied to okie2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sure we all have the choice...we choose ADN or BSN for varied reasons. I haven't felt it was worth it for me to keep going, am happy with the ADN, but if my needs change, I'll go for it. After all, I...
