    Bloody Urine in Foley Catheter Postpartum?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Hope888's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Obviously a postpartum mom who can't void needs to be cathed, but they shouldn't be

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Thank you for deigning to agree with me "slightly." ?. How to solve it---that's the question, isn't it? If there was an easy, single answer we probably wouldn't be facing the problem, but my...

    Elizabeth Warren says doctors, nurses don't treat black women same way as other women

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    You can't possibly be serious. You're saying that ethnic minorities are all perfect human beings simply by way of being ethnic minorities, and could not possibly harbor any internal biases? Bias is...

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    You clearly have no interest in considering other points of view in this conversation. I'm glad that you are free of all possible internal biases. Good

    LibraSunCNM replied to Kallie3006's topic in Nursing News

    Because people don't want to admit that they could have internal biases. They see research like this and feel accused of being overtly racist, so they deny that the research could possibly be

    I think you've nailed it there. Same ****, different day in U.S.

    I hate fake call outs.

    LibraSunCNM replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    A management team that tries to emotionally manipulate good employees while allowing bad employees to get away with excessive absenteeism is not worth wasting your energy or resentment on. They are...

    I hate fake call outs.

    LibraSunCNM replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get that, but what I'm saying is that learning to say "no" is a helpful skill here. Succumbing to guilt by management helps no one but management. Of course it gets old, nurses keep saying yes so...

    I hate fake call outs.

    LibraSunCNM replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I totally understand your frustration but at the same time, you shouldn't feel pressured to come in on your off days. That's management's problem, not

    Bloody Urine in Foley Catheter Postpartum?

    LibraSunCNM replied to Hope888's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That makes more sense. It sounded like you were saying you insert *new* Foleys on postpartum lady partsl deliveries, which sounded like cruel, unusual, and unnecessary punishment ? It's common for...

    Patients Say the Darnedest Things Nurses Week Contest

    And yet, he still signed up for it, so I guess he wouldn't have missed it all that

    Good grief!!! Maybe she'll care when the kid is 10 and still in kindergarten?! I feel so sorry for that

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And what I'm saying is that that evidence doesn't actually bear this out. And actually, you did imply that CRNAs are straight-up poor care providers in your first post, when you wrote that in your...

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Right...what I'm asking is why you think that the education of CRNAs is insufficient to provide safe care, when no studies actually back this up. It's fine if you prefer to see an MD, but that...

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Have you also had bad experiences with CRNAs? I'm confused as to how your good experiences with anesthesiologists mean that CRNAs are less competent. Do you have reason to believe the average CRNA...

    CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    LibraSunCNM replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What do I think? I think somehow, CRNAs in rural and underserved areas, the military, and many other setting manage to practice without an MD in the room for every procedure and do just fine. It's...

    Being bullied at work

    LibraSunCNM replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Who lives in the ghetto? The rich? ? The context of the word literally revolves around the concept of poor people being low class and acting as such. Agreed that it's irrelevant to the topic, I was...

    Being bullied at work

    You're not alone, that term bothers me too. I also feel spoiled for never having worked at a facility where staff was allowed to leave the unit for smoke breaks, I can't believe that's a thing in...

    NPR's take on RV

    I agree that this article missed the mark and was way too broad. I fail to see how that equates to East Coast, Ivy Leagued elitism? Can you explain
