  1. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome

    Empress replied to RN112's topic in General Nursing

    I have some questions about PCOS? Is fertility always affected? I have had no problem with getting pregnant, but have had issues with low progesterone with both (viable) pregnancies. I have always...

  2. RN vs Ancillary Staff

    Empress replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    RTs and PTs are LICENSED PROFESSIONALS as well, and are held responsible for their patient's care in focused areas. The 2 people mentioned in this thread did act unprofessional, I am not denying...

  3. So... advising little sis on healthcare career

    Empress replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    This is funny since my DH is a paramedic with a private company that deals with emergency ALS transports of LTC patients and is frequently referred to as an "ambulance driver" by nurses. Encourage...

  4. RN to MD

    Empress replied to tatty's topic in General Nursing

    Studentdoctor.net, Mommd.com, and Oldpremed.com all have excellent information for people who are going the non-traditional route for medical school. From my research there may be a slight...

  5. Is it ethical for hospitals to have Mickey D's on premises?

    Empress replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you missed my point. I think there are some families where that happens, and there are families who are dealing with sensory eating issues, but you won't know the difference unless you...

  6. Is it ethical for hospitals to have Mickey D's on premises?

    Empress replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Many kids with developmental issues are resistent to diet changes, especially under stressful conditions like a hospitalization. Offering a "treat food" may be enough motivation to eat. Or not....

  7. How Can Mercury in Vaccines Be Safe?

    Empress replied to indigo girl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    There are some that believe the push for the mercury/autism connection is setting up to sue the vaccine makers for as much money as possible. I don't know if I believe that, though. I think to reach...

  8. How Can Mercury in Vaccines Be Safe?

    Empress replied to indigo girl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The debate about mercury is very divisive within the autism community, and IMHO has been very harmful. Families can barely get adequate early intervention and now attention and resources are being...

  9. Cleveland/Akron areas

    Empress replied to RN2bemommyof3's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Bumping this, does anyone know what the wait list is like for Cuyahoga Community College? I am taking prereqs this fall and should be able to take their NET in January. I am going the ADN route...

  10. Withholding Treatment Of Elderly Patients

    Empress replied to allegator's topic in General Nursing

    If you requested intubuation, and they said "No, for such and such reasons." and then documented it as such, that is one thing. But if on the documentation they wrote that you requested suctioning...

  11. This constant nagging....

    Empress replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I am going into nursing so I can transition into medical school later. There are some things that I like about nursing, but the first semester of nursing classes really focused what my...

  12. the cnas have taken over!!

    Empress replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    This went absolutely nowhere. If nurses want to be treated with respect and recognized as professionals, they should actively seek to treat the other personnel they work with on a daily basis with...

  13. the cnas have taken over!!

    Empress replied to beaglemom's topic in General Nursing

    You're kidding me. I cannot believe that people who take care of patients are not allowed to look at the darn chart, and people on this very site are advocating "putting their foot down." You show...

  14. Why LPN??

    Empress replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Off the top of my head, firefighters and paramedics generally go through one year of technical training. But that's a whole nother barrell of fish, isn't it? I found your post rather
