    Nursing Dreams and Nightmares

    Spidey's mom replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I've had that one!! Scary. Or . . . I missed giving entirely all the meds to a patient I never got to because I was so

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I read the supposed "benefit" . . . but ouch! As an older woman who is already in menopause . . . that dry "friction" is not pleasant for the guy or the gal. In my opinion. Just

    "Fixin' to die"

    Spidey's mom replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    Yikes! I'm a hick too. I understand wanting nurses to be professional. I'm one of the folks here on AN who used to correct grammar, punctuation, etc. But I backed off on that for the most part....

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That was in the 1960's and part of the rise of feminism. Although I'll bet some women still do look. A small amount to be sure. Again, I didn't and

    "Fixin' to die"

    Spidey's mom replied to ktwlpn's topic in Nursing News

    Good for the school nurse! My family on both sides before my parents are from the south and "fixin' to die" is part of our lexicon, so to speak. I'm fixin' to start dinner after cleaning all

    Spidey's mom replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I saw that Amy Tuteur, MD (aka The Skeptical OB) over on FB has linked one of our threads here about home births. Pretty cool. And yes, I'm still addicted. But now you have to add FB to my...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet they did know since a hundred years ago, most families raised their farm animals for food. And babies were not born in a hospital. My husband was raised on a farm and he knew all about...

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I agree but you could state facts. Patient came into ER with foul odor, feces under nails, confused about person, place,

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My mom did a very perfunctory explanation to me. And she was a free spirit kind of gal. Married a few times, many boyfriends, kids with different dads. Hot pants and go-go boots and a long red wig...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Uh oh . . . Gotta chime in here because not all conservative families don't tell their children about sex/anatomy. My kids were raised by conservative (oh the horrors) parents. They were told...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is amazing either. And I grew up in the era where women sat around in circles with mirrors and looked at their genitals. Personally, until I became a nurse and had to start my...

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    I forgot to add that in my county, there is a school nurse group that meets once a month with public health nurses and we share lots of great information. It was a huge help for this newbie school...

    Spidey's mom replied to NurseMrn's topic in School

    Welcome! This is a great group of nurses who will help you find your way. I'm retired from the school nurse job - even though I'm not really retired from nursing. I've worked hospice for over 10...

    Do Female Docs Provide Better Care to Their Hospitalized Patients Than Male Counterparts?

    Spidey's mom replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Way too many variables that were not fully examined. Anecdotally, I've found the local male physicians, for the most part, more receptive and better at diagnosing what is wrong and how...

    Gun Owning Nurses

    Spidey's mom replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    It is pretty bad here in the northstate. Meth labs, meth addicts, and heroin is burgeoning now as well. Also, we are the drop-off point for most of the parolee's and our state just passed a new law...

    Spidey's mom replied to JerseyTomatoMDCrab's topic in School

    I love Bob the Tomato! Heck, I love tomatoes . . . they just have to be straight from the garden and not grocery store. When I was still working as a school nurse, I would usually stay and help corral...

    prescription drug addiction

    Spidey's mom replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    You are making me wonder about my hospice patients who receive high doses of Morphine Sulfate or Dilaudid via a CADD Pump. Of course, we don't worry about addiction with hospice patients. Since I'm...
