    Out of nursing over a year...this stay at home mom thing just isn't for me!

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

    I'm not starting a SAHM/Working mom war but and agree that it isn't for everyone but I find the "no adult human interaction" idea a bit disingenuous. I was a SAHM when my older kids were young and...

    Stanford Rape

    With all due respect, you aren't me. And I know what I would

    Stanford Rape

    Spidey's mom replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    As an aside - Personally, if one of my sons did this, I would not be writing a letter to the public. I would be kicking his orifice and telling him he was wrong. I'd be heartbroken over it all of...

    Spidey's mom replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    I know. We were too naive and trusting to even think someone would do this. I actually know this person . . . I'm going to talk to her in

    Stanford Rape

    Spidey's mom replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Well, your analogy works. All I'm saying is we shouldn't link "Be safe out there" with "If you don't you deserve what you get". I'm ok with telling my kids to be safe. It doesn't excuse a rapist....

    Facebook and employers/school

    Spidey's mom replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    This is an issue with me as well. I took my grandson to an event here called Pioneer Days and he got to make candles and rope and all kinds of fun stuff. There was one woman who kept following us...

    Stanford Rape

    Spidey's mom replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Getting caught up on this thread - I appreciate your post above. There is no excuse for rape. But I do teach my kids about making responsible choices. I see no reason why both cannot be taught. Rape...

    Use of cellphones while at work

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

    I work in wound care and we cannot use our own phone/camera to photograph wounds. Our department has two cameras, we take photos, print them off, delete them. Even when I worked on the acute floor,...

    Use of cellphones while at work

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

    That's not the fault of management. That's the fault of the folks addicted to their smart phones and Facebook or Instagram. I wish we had that policy at my facility. I see the Ward Clerk, CNA's...

    Use of cellphones while at work

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

    You use these on yourself? You have 4 to 12 anaphylaxis episodes in a week? I think you need a new allergy doc.

    Use of cellphones while at work

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

    I would follow policy. If your family needs to get ahold of you for something serious (or not serious) they can always call work and leave a message. I've been a nurse for 19 years and cell phones...

    Would it be best to be a CNA then an RN?

    Spidey's mom replied to ART_Princess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Put "CNA before RN" into the search engine up top. You'll see that this is a very frequent question and lots and lots of threads available. I'll say what I usually say. No you do not have to be a...

    MrNurse(x2) the Benevolent

    Spidey's mom replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I live in a very rural farming community. The elementary school here in town is the same one my 87 year old mother-in-law went to and it has air conditioning. They upgraded to have A/C obviously....

    MrNurse(x2) the Benevolent

    Spidey's mom replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I live in the mountains of far northern California - all our schools are air-conditioned! I'm kind of amazed there are school w/o AC. I love the heat and hate being cold but I understand that heat...

    Unprofessional Statement in Policy Book

    Spidey's mom replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree. My first thought was that the OP misunderstood the policy of closing the doors of the rooms of the other patients when the mortuary takes the body via a gurney down the hall and out to the...

    Rural ED nursing - a 180 turn

    Spidey's mom replied to crckt's topic in Emergency

    Hello! Welcome to rural nursing. :) I worked for 9 years in the ER in our little rural hospital in Northern CA - not on the coast though. Our ER consists of a small triage room with a gurney and...

    Parent and school nurse

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

    I have a child in the district now and all 3 of my adult children also attended. I "retired" from the school nurse job last October but this issue still dogs me. And my son is active in sports as...

    Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death

    Spidey's mom replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it was the OP. Just a general FYI to the other poster (not you Bucky) - if you are directly answering another poster, use the "quote" feature.

    Interesting name for Palliative Care training?

    Spidey's mom replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Clinical Pearls are very common. So, not unique. I'm afraid I'm like nutella and heron. Not a fan of cutsey

    Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death

    Spidey's mom replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm very sorry. Your grandmother would have benefitted from pain relief. You can't go back and change that but you can go forward in your nursing career using that as a learning experience. That...

    Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death

    Spidey's mom replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm going to differ here with Muno and agree with NightNerd. I'm a hospice nurse as well and we have patients on high (not "comparatively small") amounts of Morphine and Dilaudid for pain control...

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

    I forgot to purchase my son's yearbook . . . even though I'm not a fan of having yearbooks from K-8. I have no idea if there are any yearbooks for Spidey - who promotes from 8th grade tonight. Even...
