  1. No more VBACs allowed?

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Stopped by my unit yesterday while I was at the hospital doing my clinicals for school ... sounds like the hospital is saying "no VBACs" but that the docs and midwives are still doing them. In fact,...

  2. No more VBACs allowed?

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This whole issue gets me so worked up that I don't even know where to start ... forcing c-sections, discouraging VBACs, insurance premiums and coverage that is ridiculous, malpractice insurance that...

  3. Baby born w/o a face..WOW!!

    SC RN replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for giving us a little piece of information about you, Russell. It makes my earlier comments seem harsh and I apologize for that. We don't know what each other have lived through or what...

  4. Baby born w/o a face..WOW!!

    SC RN replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    What would an amnio have told those parents? Would it have told them how that little girl would bring smiles to faces of other children? Would it have told them that she would make her parents...

  6. Futile Care. Dead is dead.

    SC RN replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    What a fantastic discussion. I have two stories to share. My husband's grandfather was in great health, had DM but was well controlled but told his wife that if he were to stroke out or end up on a...

  7. being pregnant and hair..........

    SC RN replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I asked my hair guy about this the other day (I'm thinking ahead to next year when I want to get pregnant after nursing school) and he said that since he doesn't put the dye on my scalp (I get a...

  8. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    SC RN replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, have heard that "those that can, do; those that can't, teach" line and it's a bunch of *&^%$#@!. Who among us has had an exceptional teacher who touched the students and their patients...

  9. Accident Scenes: Do You Always Offer Assistance?

    SC RN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, reading that brought tears to my eyes. My son is twelve years old. You just never know what stupid things they'll do ... even when there is an "adult" around. Thank God he is okay.

  10. Do any RN's out there think that I should as a student

    SC RN replied to nurseRNtobe's topic in General Nursing

    I think they meant clinical experience as actual work (paid) in a hospital setting. Clinicals through your school are nothing like the "real world" of actually working on a floor on your own. That...

  11. Egg Allergy????

    SC RN replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have horrible, horrible welts across my back and entire body after I eat eggs ... looks like somebody gave me 30 lashes with a tree branch! But no, it's not enough to stop me from eating them ... I...

  12. ICEA Childbirth Educator Program?

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all of the info, that was exactly what I was looking for! And, yes, I've talked to the educators at my hospital and they have given me the course info that they teach and I plan on...

  13. LevLite????

    SC RN replied to prairiegirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I take Yasmin BCP and have for about a year or so after going through problems with Ortho-Tri-Cyclen and Ortho Novum before that. I love Yasmin and have no problems with it other than PMS which is...

  14. ICEA Childbirth Educator Program?

    SC RN replied to SC RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Anybody have any info on this or other programs? It would be so appreciated ....

  15. What does your post name reflect about you?

    SC RN replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is what I want on my license plate once I graduate .... my initials from first and last name are "SC" and I live in southern California "SC", too and I'm going to be a RN!!! So, planning ahead...

  16. I Hate Nursing School

    SC RN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Suzy, Without going into details, ADNRN is a trouble maker and an instigator and if you take a few minutes and do a search on this posters previous postings, you'll realize that it's not even worth...

  17. Any thoughts and words of wisdom greatly appreciated.

    SC RN replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Emily, Go for it ... take the job in L&D and enjoy the heck out of it! I left a job that paid $20/hr to go to nursing school for my RN and when I graduate, I'll make about the same (but really...

  18. Being a nurse for all the wrong reasons.

    SC RN replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the posts regarding this persons negativity ... I just went back and looked at his posts and now realize that I was sucked into an argument that was meaningless. Yes, perhaps he is a...

  19. Being a nurse for all the wrong reasons.

    SC RN replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    I've posted a few threads like this and see no problem with it. It disappoints me that so many negative comments were made to the OP. We can ***** all we want ... but we can also be positive all...

  20. books required for 1st semester of nursing school?

    SC RN replied to kats's topic in General Students

    Kats, You've got a good start with some basics and great ideas for keeping on top of things ... best of luck to you! The following are the books sitting on my bookshelf next to me right now ... all...

  21. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I hope you are not implying that my post was rude and threatening. As I said previously my Union Experience goes back to 1965. I also showed how rudely I was treated by the only nurse's union I ever...

  22. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do see your point regarding unions but will have to say that I still disagree with you. Some of this is due to the fact that I was a HR Manager before I left to start nursing school ... my history...

  23. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And without a union you have nada? I think not. The hospital I will work in when I graduate (and that I work in now as a Nurse Tech) will pay me as good as or better than the three other unionized...

  24. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Excuse your rudeness! Actually, I'm not resentful (see my post from a few days ago about how wonderful life is), the supermarket workers do NOT have it better than I do (the job I left to start...

  25. KROGER'S ON STRIKE - - 3 states involved- - guess what they want???

    SC RN replied to passing thru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are two sides to argue here ... yes, health insurance is ridiculously outrageously expensive and that is whole huge issue to be dealt with in itself. However .... Striking because your...
