    Drug testing

    klone replied to blexxer's topic in General Nursing

    I work in OB in a state where it is recreationally legal. I am always amused (in a rolleyes sort of way) when women come in to deliver and are very adamant that they have a MEDICAL MARIJUANA card!!...

    Desperate for advice how to complete my nursing career by getting a LVN/RN License

    klone replied to whitla242's topic in General Nursing

    Most schools require that your prerequisites, particularly science and math, be no more than 5 years old for them to accept it. I'm sorry that you refuse, but if you want to get into an RN program,...

    There is a company that does this. They're called Prolacta. It's a very controversial

    Milk and Fever

    klone replied to kistigirl84's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot think of a situation where breastmilk is not preferable to Pedialyte. It is living tissue that actually gives antibodies to help fight the illness. It has electrolytes in the perfect balance...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I'm sorry for those of you who work in units that don't follow AWHONN's staffing guidelines. I'm pretty dogmatic about it. It's RARE that our nurses have 4 couplets, and CERTAINLY not if they moms or...

    klone replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is a nurse, too. He works in hospice and palliative care. His favorite part of the job is petting people's dogs and holding little old ladies' hands. Of course, if he were the type to feel...

    Which is it? Coolest and most glamorous nursing jobs

    klone replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    I have a theory. My observation is that most of the "which is the coolest/most respected area of nursing" posts are from men. Do you guys who are preoccupied by that, feel emasculated by being a...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    They're not pushed to push breastfeeding. They're pushed to ENCOURAGE breastfeeding. Meaning - one of the expected duties of the nurses is to encourage it. As they should encourage all other positive...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I am a board-certified lactation consultant. This is my bread and butter, so to speak. And I can assure you that there is no systemic cult-like mentality forcing women to breastfeed. There may be...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    People keep saying this. The nurse did not bring the baby to the mom to SLEEP. She brought the baby to the mom to BREASTFEED. I'm quite certain that that hospital, like every other hospital, provides...

    klone replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Nurse Management

    Seems to me that it was more about scaring nurses into making sure they protect their license (and their lives, if the nurse in question was convicted and sentenced to prison). I think that's a good...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    You don't think the mother holds any responsibility? Feedings with a new mom/baby pair can sometimes take 45+ minutes. How is the nurse supposed to know if the mother is done feeding unless she uses...

    BSN First? Or Bridge?

    klone replied to shycat's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Employers generally don't care, but as someone who did the bridge program at Frontier (withdrew in the 3rd term), I strongly recommend you just get the BSN and then apply. The bridge program is as...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    The *nurses* were pushed to encourage breastfeeding, not that the new moms were pushed or forced to breastfeed. I'm sorry nobody even mentioned it to you - that is a failing on the part of the unit...

    klone replied to kistigirl84's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not. If an infant has a fever, and they're not fed/given fluid, they will become dehydrated. Breastmilk is the BEST thing for an infant with a fever/illness. Are you a

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I would LOVE to hear more about this. I am highly suspect of the veracity of any story about a hospital that has a mandate against formula. It just doesn't happen. Not in the US (and I would venture...
