  1. In nusing school, really need some advice!!!

    queenjean replied to cf264801's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to reassure you that nursing school and the career of nursing are two entirely different entities. I work three 12 hour shifts a week; then I'm done. No studying, reading, tests, or...

  2. How long do you stay over shift to finish work?

    queenjean replied to mrscurtwkids4's topic in General Nursing

    I will stay over 15-20 minutes for routine stuff. Not any longer, because that is crap that can be passed on to the other shift. I will stay over as long as it takes to finish something out of the...

  3. In nusing school, really need some advice!!!

    queenjean replied to cf264801's topic in General Nursing

    You did not pursue your career in SLP because you did not like the client experience you got in school. You are thinking of not pursuing a career in nursing because you don't like the client...

  4. portacath access

    queenjean replied to amyk_ncsu's topic in General Students

    I would imagine it would be accessed. I can't believe you would have to run abx and not have it continually accessed. When I have had pts who had a portacath but no continuous fluids, their site...

  5. portacath access

    queenjean replied to amyk_ncsu's topic in General Students

    Is your patient in a hospital? If so, typically those are accessed once upon admission, and the access remains throughout the hospitalization. So it will look like any other IV access. You wouldn't...

  6. Somalian patients

    queenjean replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd have to agree with Nora; if you are going to call it what it is, how can you call male circumcision anything but genital mutilation? Removing a normal part of that anatomy for mostly aesthetic...

  7. are VBAC's pretty safe?

    queenjean replied to JulieRN07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know. I believe that hospitals' decisions not to attend VBACs are directly responsible for many of the problems that women will experience as we see more and more mothers with numerous c-sections....

  8. are VBAC's pretty safe?

    queenjean replied to JulieRN07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a pp mom today; c-section number 5. I can't believe having five sections is good for your body. I don't know her story--whether she chose the four subsequent sections or if it was because our...

  9. Somalian patients

    queenjean replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you honestly believe all Muslims are the same? Just like all Christians, right? You can't find a male chauvanist pig doc who is Christian? Can't find any Christians who treat women/children/the...

  10. Tattoos and epidurals

    queenjean replied to Lacie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can get your entire back tattooed, but you can't do natural childbirth? I've had both (tats and childbirth) and the tats hurt way more, in my opinion. There really isn't any evidence that you...

  11. technical cardiac question on HR

    queenjean replied to Wave's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your question about heart rate and the SA node is really interesting. My husband used to be an a semi-pro athlete, and his heart rate was in the 40s and 50s. He had fellow athletes who had resting...

  12. Condom Teaching Plan for Middle Schoolers?

    queenjean replied to cjulian214's topic in General Students

    So, how'd the presentation go? I'm excited for you and interested in what you ended up developing and what the student response was. Let us know.

  13. LPN's are giving IV Meds?

    queenjean replied to riverrose's topic in General Students

    Not a change; LPNs who have IV certification have been giving meds for decades. The state board of nursing and the individual facilities put parameters on what type of meds the LPN can give. Most...

  14. Hi all....I am looking to a different field.

    queenjean replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. It really is helpful. One further questions, if you would be so kind. What sort of tuition reimbursement does the KU hospital have for it's students? Where I work, they...

  15. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    queenjean replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly? I poke fun at them, too. Cosmetic surgery is a bit silly to me. Not my cup of tea. Tattoos, however, I love. Is there a difference? Probably not much, except that my tats cost less...

  16. Healthy women schedule C-sections to prevent vaginal stretching

    queenjean replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My thoughts (for the whole two cents they are worth): Elective c-section: I wholeheartedly support this, for whatever reason, even though I would never ever ever ever ever do it. I support it...

  17. Transfusion too fast?

    queenjean replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    This week I gave three units within a total of five hours to an otherwise healthy young woman who bled out after childbirth. I'd never ran it so fast, either, but I used to work on a medical floor...

  18. Hi all....I am looking to a different field.

    queenjean replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in General Nursing

    I'm weighing the pros and cons between Fort Hays' online RN-BSN and KU's online RN-BSN program. Did you look into FHSU when you were wanting to complete your program? How much of your tuition does...

  19. Can someone please help me out, I am trying to make a career choice in nursing.

    queenjean replied to tiffany311's topic in LPN to RN

    You ask some very interesting questions. I'm not sure what type of response you are expecting here. You say you need to make some career choices, and you want to know what beliefs and values others...

  20. Can dilation reverse?

    queenjean replied to mitchsmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen a few situations of reverse dilation; I don't know if I could ever directly attribute it to fear/tenseness, but I've felt/experienced other parts of people's bodies tense up--veins when...

  21. giving a massage after a bath..?

    queenjean replied to sameasalways's topic in General Students

    I think you can make time. I ALWAYS offered back rubs to my pts when I worked med surg. When I was getting them ready for bed, I would help them brush teeth/do dentures, and then I'd give them a...

  22. Condom Teaching Plan for Middle Schoolers?

    queenjean replied to cjulian214's topic in General Students

    You may have been wholesomely playing with barbies (or were you playing "honeymoon" with Barbie and Ken???? I remember that....), but I guarantee some of your classmates were not. It's been 20+...

  23. Condom Teaching Plan for Middle Schoolers?

    queenjean replied to cjulian214's topic in General Students

    I think you are trying to do way tooo much in your teaching plan. I also wonder how prepared you are to get responses that are vulgar or off base. How will you handle it when someone says on a first...

  24. Nurses that write their own orders

    queenjean replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Did you check your floor's protocol for foley management? In our protocol, with adults we can write an order for irrigation under certain parameters. If the docs don't want the catheter irrigated...

  25. Are nurses unsupportive spouse magnets??

    queenjean replied to sticknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not here. I'm in school full time and work full time. DH works full time and does all the laundry and cleaning while I'm in school. I cook sometimes, whoever has a chance does the shopping. He's...
