  1. Colon therapy and enemas.

    Texagain replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a link to a disturbing article about a woman who died following a home colonic treatment and the resulting lawsuit. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/colonsuit.html For those...

  2. NICU on another floor

    Texagain replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our APU, LD, OR, and Level 3 are all on the same floor, but our level 2 is one floor up as is the GN and PPU. We have 3 infant stabilization units in LD and each SU can handle 4

    My cousins in law pick peas (and other things, seasonally) in West Texas. Generally, the only 'facilities' available are Port-a-Potties, picnic tables, and a water spigot. A hand-washing station would...

  4. Colon therapy and enemas.

    Texagain replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    Cargal posted: "did anyone see the multiple ads at the right side of the screen for colon hydrotherapy? Is there a 900 number" It would be interesting to take that colon cleanser ad apart. I'm sure...

  7. Terminations

    Texagain replied to tamrnmomof4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At our facility, we have had about three 22 week survisors over about 6 years (that I know about- we were HIPPA before HIPPA was cool). One came back to visit. She was 8 months old, weighed about 8...

  10. Colon therapy and enemas.

    Texagain replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    I heard a commercial for "Colon Cleanse", a product that claims to remove the 10-15 lbs of 'sludge' that supposedly collects in the colon over time. The proof that it worked was in the large, ahem,...

  11. Terminations

    Texagain replied to tamrnmomof4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How many weeks? If they were alive and perfect (healthy?), why did they die so quickly? I'm sorry you are feeling so sad about

    Texagain replied to TnValCNA's topic in General Nursing

    "She's told me I'm picking a different future for myself by resisting a change that I'm deliberately avoiding. (Which happens to be TRUE.) " Well, this is true for me also, so maybe she meant you a...

  13. Need advice: non-hospital birth?

    Texagain replied to mm1021's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Personally, I would never have a home birth. My personal experience included a perfectly normal hospital delivery (short and sweet with excellent care) followed 2 years later by a completely...

  14. Elective C-sections

    Texagain replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is another thread on the board somewhere called "Would I be considered a difficult patient?" that asks a similar question, but from the other side. In my case (and I've had one of each), I don't...

  16. Infertility nurses?

    Texagain replied to Trixie01's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am the one you are thinking of as I worked in an IVF clinic for about 5 years. The description by Chaya is quite accurate. I enjoyed the work immensely and left only because I had a medical...

  17. 2 Nurses needed???

    Texagain replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We verify too. Not just the syringe, but the order in the chart, the MAR and the bottle(s) for insulin with the syringe in it. It's better than making a

  18. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    Texagain replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    I don't find service and health care contradictory at all. I never fail to be surprised at how nurses will say it's so important to drink 8 glasses of water a day and gripe about filling a water...

  19. Does anyone work for HCA? I need to know how long their orientation is?

    Texagain replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add, the nurse on my unit who has been there the longest just got her 25 year pin and we have lots in the 12-15 year range. That may be why I like my coworkers so much. They have been...

  20. Does anyone work for HCA? I need to know how long their orientation is?

    Texagain replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked for HCA for almost six years. My orientation was 12 weeks on the unit, plus a bunch of other stuff like a 2 day breast feeding course. I have noticed that orientation takes as long as it...

  21. Odd, unusual, or silly events during exams..

    Texagain posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I try to be professional at all times during exams, but this one from a couple of years ago still stands out in my mind. I was assisting during an annual in a clinic. The patient was a young...

  22. Odd, unusual, or silly events during exams..

    Texagain replied to Texagain's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Shandy- that reminds me of something. Had a patient referred because the previous Doc (GP) noticed 2 cx's upon the patient's first exam. She was a young girl, seemed a little slow, was accompanied by...

  24. Patient demands, "I want a different nurse"

    Texagain replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, this happens with some frequency on my unit- we have alot of long term bedresters (APU). It's not a big deal. We handle it different ways. Sometimes, we are happy to not take care of the pt,...

  25. An other nurse flat told a lie about me

    Texagain replied to catrn10's topic in General Nursing

    Something similar happened to me once- A nurse I work with, I'll call her 'Mary' didn't (and still doesn't) like me for some reason. Even today, she always calls me by a wrong name, and I've worked...
