  1. How Rude!!!

    sbic56 replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well said, katscan. I never encouraged my kids in the direction of nursing. I want better for them than I have had for myself. Nursing has provided and OK living for me and has had its rewards, but...

  2. How Rude!!!

    sbic56 replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It would be easy to be insulted, but I agree with passing thru. Besides, wouldn't most of us rather see our kid become a doctor over becoming a nurse? Or an accountant over a book keeper? Or a lawyer...

  3. sleeping staff

    sbic56 replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You stated it exactly, rebel. Those who gripe because some choose to nap on their break are certainly not nurses I want to work with. They will always be making waves; where there is a non issue, they...

  4. 2 Nurses needed???

    sbic56 replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    But, first...there must be adequate staffing to even utilize this old practice! Where the hec ya going to find that nurse to double check you everytime you give a dose of heparin or insulin?? Oh, but...

    sbic56 replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OK...I see. I'm not talking about sleeping on duty, though. Discussion on that debate has been depleted, so I'll let it

  6. sleeping staff

    sbic56 replied to night owl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm willing to bet these nurses would have given you the same courtesy of taking a nap if you desired. Working just one extra shift you realized how tired you were. I never appreciated what it took to...

  7. 2 Nurses needed???

    sbic56 replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I get so tired of hearing about JCAHO certification and how great it is. IMHO it doesn't improve patient care and only increases our workload with it's requirements, making our jobs even more...

  8. which shift is busier?

    sbic56 replied to momrn50's topic in General Nursing

    I can answer for myself only, but the reason I don't go back on nights is because even though I didn't work as hard, I feel a whole hellava lot better now that I work days. Nights is hard in and of...

  9. which shift is busier?

    sbic56 replied to momrn50's topic in General Nursing

    Days is craziest ...hands down. I have worked them all. The confusion that administative stuff brings on is the problem. If I could work w/e days forever and still have my weekends off...impossible, I...

  10. 7 on 7 off schedule

    sbic56 replied to MRG™'s topic in General Nursing

    In retrospect, I agree having the option to do 7/12's is great for some. I used to work 50-60 hours a week when I was younger and thrived. Just can't see it

  11. 7 on 7 off schedule

    sbic56 replied to MRG™'s topic in General Nursing

    Three 12's in a row should be the max, IMO. It is the rare nurse who is worth much beyond

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    sbic56 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agreed.

  13. The Circumcision Discussion

    sbic56 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not that I think it's a good enough reason to circumcize, but men who aren't do tend to get yeast infections alot easier. Also, I would think removing the vulva would increase the chance of UTI, since...

  17. The Circumcision Discussion

    sbic56 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly. It is a cultural thing and is part of ours. I don't see it changing all that much in the northeast. I think probably still over 50%, maybe up to 75% still want the circ done. How is it...

  18. Golf Joke...heehee.

  22. Is a pacifier a chargeable item in your facility?

    sbic56 replied to layna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pacifiers are rarely used at our place. No charge. (But very nice to have around when some babies just need to

  25. Pitocin after delivery

    sbic56 replied to babies_r_us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm with stevielynn. I have never encountered a real problem when going without a heplock. I have had to start some IV's fairly quickly in intense situations, but I still think the rarity of that...
