I Believe I mentioned that thought myself a few days (or nights ago!) He was married to her and presumably knew her wishes and spouses quite often know things about their in-laws that the in-laws don't want them to know. It could very well be that Te...

I have been in your shoes. You need to contact your DON and your HR supervisor and request a meeting and have all of your documentation ready. Present it to them and then follow their recomendations. My guess will be a suspension as from reading your...

Hi all. I'm new to NC, having relocated from the deep south. I live and work in the triad area. Really like the area. Have transferred depts at work and now like work as well!!!!! Nice to meet y'all. Iggy. :)

Doesn't the government interfere enough in our lives already? If Terri didn't want her husband to speak for her she should have had a power of attny stating that her parents were to make decisions for her. I too have to wonder why he hasn't divorced ...

I have been there (to Delphi forums) and haven't been able to figure out how it works. HELP

I did total nights for 6 years and loved it. I however worked 7 12 hour nights in a row and then was off for 7 days/nights in a row. It was awsome. Personally I can't imagine working nights any other way!!!!!! Best of luck to you. Iggy. :)

Debbie: I am curious as to which agency you are with. I'm thinking about traveling and would like to know who is great and who is not so great. If you don't want to post the name of the agency (Which I can understand) then please e-mail me. Thanks, I...

My baby is 2 months old and there were wet wipes in the baby cart but they were some generic brand...but they didn't have a scent to them and were gentle. When we got home I used the huggies newborn and really liked them...very gentle and alcohol/fra...

Definately go and see your doctor...I have IBS and it is treatable, but only a doc can diagnose it. A few things that can help until you see one are to avoid caffiene!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a major major agrevator. I can sympathize with the cramps. They...

Hi there. I don't know the answer to your question but I do have a suggestion. Call your local pharmacy (Eckards etc.) and ask to speak to the pharmacist. I also strongly encourage you to be upfront with your doctor. He won't judge you and may be abl...

I have no use for PO Geodon as I have never seen it work...even in high doses. Never knew it came in IM. Would be curious to see how that would work with my patients.

I have 2, want more. My favorite one is my Canadian Maple Leaf. Helps me remember who I am and where I came from. Both are hidden by scrubs. I personally hate to see a woman with tattos on her arms or hands. (Not fond of seeing men with them there fo...

Hmmmmmmmm I have never had a rectal exam as part of my annanual gyn. exam. Have never even heard of a rectal exam being a part of it. I've had rectal exams done as part of my workup before a colonoscopy and barium enema....but part of a gyn....nope.....

Way to go!!!!!!!!! :)

I lived in apartments all the years I worked nights and their policy was that you couldn't have anything other than white showing on the outside of the window. The regular mini blinds they provided worked great with my own regular curtains over top. ...

There is nothing like a career in Nursing to make you more assertive and help you learn to stand up for yourself, and more importantly, give you the courage to stand up and be an advocate for your patient(s). You may read this and think "Oh I couldn'...

Dave, I have to agree with you. I did 7 on 7 off 12 hour shifts for 81/2 years and LOVED IT! I took an interim postion that changed my schedule to a Monday to Friday 8a-5p. I HATE it. I'm getting ready to go back to my 7 on 7 off schedule again. I h...

Welcome. I too love the name! I thought it was cute. :)

Pot luck once a month or so is a great morale booster. Costs virtually nothing and when you get your senior leadership for your department to participate it's great. A very relaxed time for all. Also, we have a Christmas party outside the hospital an...

Hang in there Tinker. I don't think there is a nurse alive who didn't feel that way when they first graduated and started work. You can do it. You graduated and passed boards. That was the hard part. Enjoy. This is what you have dreamed of doing. CON...

Hang in there. It's going to mean extra work for you, but document, document, document. Let your manager know what is going on. You may want to check certain things behind her yourself. After all, unfortuanatly you are the one ultimately responsible ...

Nursee, I don't know where you are getting your figures from, but you should double check them before you involve a whole country. You stated that Canada was one of the countries mostly intact. In my years there working, NOT. The uncircumsed male of ...

I too am a tatooed person and personally love mine. That being said however, we do live in society with others who may not feel as we do about our tattos. I commend you for thinking of your professional self first and deciding to keep any future tato...

I hate to point it out, but marrying someone or dating them just because they are a doctor is doomed to fail. How about looking for a great person? Sure if you wound up marrying someone with money etc then it would be a bonus, but I wouldn't have tha...

Nope you aren't crazy. Very courageous in fact. It takes guts to stand up and say "No. I don't want to do that". Too many times people who are non-nurses don't seem to understand those of us who are content to remain primary bedside caregivers. They ...
