    Gator,SN replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

    UntamedSpirit, I liked your letter so much that I just want to sign my name to the bottom of it! BRAVO!!!

  2. Know any lactation consultants? Have questions...

    Gator,SN replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with sanacruz, excellent idea! I would think that all NICU babies have a potential problem with breastfeeding not just the "extreme" cases. My daughter was small but did not have any problems...

  3. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    Gator,SN replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd probably start laughing since without nurses, the docs wouldn't know what was happening with the patients half the time and are clueless to most of what they do. My own family physician doesn't...

  4. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    Gator,SN replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you Hellllo Nurse! I think this is a very important point!! I don't think that anyone is saying that all CNAs are bad, so there is no reason for anyone to get upset about it. period.

  5. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    Gator,SN replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would say just plain old ignorant....and incredibly stupid!

  6. Patient Assessment - Respiratory Distress

    Gator,SN replied to gwenith's topic in General Nursing

    I have only a few things to add to the last post...... I would also start looking at the pts back for bruising. Also palpation/ auscultation of the abdomen is important to check for internal bleeding...

  7. LPN with Battery Charge on Criminal Record-Help

    Gator,SN replied to 14yearLPN's topic in General Nursing

    James Huffman, I was surprised to see that you have 107 posts on this BB and I do not recall reading any them before. You gave your opinion and advice and that is what was asked for, so even if you...

  9. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    Gator,SN replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    These Nursing assistants should have my old boss...... My Job description was outlined very clearly in a list of duties to be performed daily. #'s 1-35 addressed these issues. #36 stated: Any other...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    Gator,SN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had both my sons circ'd. Not for any religious reasons just because my husband expected it (cuz he is without the forskin himself,) and so it just seemed logical....... I also saw this done in...

  11. Artificial Fingernails

    Gator,SN replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! this one has been done in several forums and posters do address hospital policy. Check it out, it had many replies.

  12. are you a grade conscious conscious student?

    Gator,SN replied to reign's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to comment on GPA's.....you absolutely can start out with a 3.3 and raise it to a 4.0, if you have the majority of your classes still pending when you start with the 3.3. At my...

    Gator,SN replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Reading this made me sick! I hope that those poor kids will get the help that they need and deserve......as for him, death penalty, sounds good!

  14. are you a grade conscious conscious student?

    Gator,SN replied to reign's topic in General Students

    This thread made me laugh....in a sick twisted way! I was not only conscious about my grades, I was obsessive! By the end it was awful! I got a 98 on a test and was mad at myself because I wanted...

  15. Please share your knowledge of cultural diversity

    Gator,SN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello to all! I had my very first day as a new GN today and I was reading some material about cultural diversity in nursing and I would like to hear from everyone on this subject. It is very important...

  16. Please share your knowledge of cultural diversity

    Gator,SN replied to Gator,SN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for the great advice! In the future I will definitely ask because I want to be able to do whatever I can to help my future patients receive the best possible care. I do live in a...

  17. depositions

    Gator,SN replied to mommajoe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I recently heard a lecture given by a nurse/ legal nurse consultant and she said the most important things to remember is that the prosecution will ask the same questions over and over to throw you...

  18. Help!!! I have made a mistake and wrote a bad check!

    Gator,SN replied to gordi24's topic in General Students

    Get a good lawyer, if the check was over $199 is may be considered a felony in some states. My advice would be to pay off the check to whoever you wrote it to ASAP including any fees that are involved...

  19. poor spelling -- it matters

    Gator,SN replied to glow_worm's topic in General Nursing

    I never cringe when I read your posts!:) I just figure that anytime something is spelled wrong, by anyone, that it is a typo. As for the common mistakes with spelling, well I get the meaning so, big...

  20. poor spelling -- it matters

    Gator,SN replied to glow_worm's topic in General Nursing

    Gwenith, I totally agree with you and I think this has all been said before.

  21. What is it about Med-Surg?

    Gator,SN replied to Mint Julip's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Mint Julip, I am well aware of the fact that the issues I mentioned are nursing issues. Basically, I stayed on that unit because I wanted experience while going to school. You asked the question...

  22. What is it about Med-Surg?

    Gator,SN replied to Mint Julip's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Personally, as a future new grad, not wanting to go to med/surg has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of work that it involves and everything to do with the last 2 years that I have spent on...

  23. Night Shift Nurse...I Can't Sleep at Night anymore..

    Gator,SN replied to zambezi's topic in General Nursing

    Zambezi, I wish I had some good advice. I worked night shift S-Th for over a year and like you, I was not able to sleep on the weekends. After I quit it took about 2-3 months for me to get back to a...

    Thank you for clearing that

  25. Perl------a?

    Gator,SN replied to night owl's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I thought that accomodation meant the patient is able to follow the examiners fingers and as the examiner moves her fingers closer to the face the pupils constrict and when moved away the pupils...
