  1. really worried........

    rnmi2004 replied to uk_nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You've got 4 weeks to go--plenty of time for the baby to flip! :) I had 3 relatively "easy" & short labor & deliveries, and I still ended up with my innards out of place (2nd degree...

  2. co-breastfeeding

    rnmi2004 replied to beesnest's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmm, if this story is for real & not one of those hoaxes, it sounds like this woman is a bit mentally unstable. Breastfeeding a dog? Talk about creepy. The idea that this will make the dog...

  3. A Primer on Newborn Screening

    rnmi2004 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I appreciate hearing the statistics expressed in terms of the whole group of metabolic disorders. Wow...1 in 1000 to 1 in 3000? When I was pregnant with my youngest a few years back, I remember...

  4. New Change to my Unit

    rnmi2004 replied to Nurseboy1's topic in General Nursing

    That is a completely unacceptable reaction to the resignation of the peds surgeon. There is no way I would want my child to be treated on that unit (no offense, RNWannabe!). This situation is not...

  5. Am I not cut out for nursing?

    rnmi2004 replied to leisa22's topic in General Nursing

    You're a new grad, and you're on your own with 5-6 patients and no aide after only a couple of months? No wonder you're feeling stressed out. Is there any way you can ask to extend your

  6. Euthanasia battle's new focus: Infants

    rnmi2004 replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    So someone who is suffering from depression or a troubled adolescent should have the option of "death on demand" instead of counseling and medication? What an asinine philosophy. There are many...

  7. Was I wrong to say anything?

    rnmi2004 replied to lil_miss_attitude's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    How many posters start threads about situations where we have "all the facts?" The nature of a bulletin board such as this is that you unfortunately don't get to hear both sides. That doesn't mean...

  8. thinking about switching from OB to dialysis...

    rnmi2004 replied to ChristineO's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Two years, and you're one of the experienced nurses? That doesn't reflect favorably on the management in your facility. It sounds like you really love L&D. Do you have an interest in dialysis?...

  9. bed baths

    rnmi2004 replied to RnAngl's topic in General Nursing

    No, not every nurse has time to give a bed bath. Hopefully when nurse:patient ratio is such that there is no time for a bed bath, there is an aide who can do this for patients who are unable to care...

  10. Life is futile, dead is dead, the other side

    rnmi2004 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing this painful personal experience with us. I know it must hurt having to make this type of decision. It helps us understand to read of the emotions involved on the family's part...

  11. Q about "risk for" diagnosis

    rnmi2004 replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

    I just went to my Ackley & Ladwig Nsg Dx book to check the "Risk for" diagnoses (infection, injury, falls, etc.). None of these categories includes a "defining characteristics" section, which you...

  12. Tests and Cheating Classmates

    rnmi2004 replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Students

    Why don't more programs make use of cover sheets? We all used them & I'm sure this helped tremendously--no sense in looking around for answers when there is no way to see through the cover

  13. Old Ladies Having Babies

    rnmi2004 replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry you took my post personally. This thread is about "Old Ladies Having Babies" and the majority of comments, including my post, are regarding woman past the usual childbearing age--not a 31...

  14. How many hours do you go school each week?

    rnmi2004 replied to alison-z's topic in General Nursing

    Final semester of ADN; I have clinicals only now. I'm about to start my last rotation of Mon-Thurs 8 hour

  15. Old Ladies Having Babies

    rnmi2004 replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ITA. It seems that a woman who is healthy enough to conceive naturally, it seems that her body is also healthy enough to handle all the other challenges that go along with parenting. I realize that...

  16. Labor, birth and spectators

    rnmi2004 replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the posters who say stick to your guns. This is your body being exposed. If you want your best friend & not your mother-in-law, then that's what should happen. The poster who...

  17. Describing Skin Turgor

    rnmi2004 replied to snwflknurse's topic in General Students

    I use "elastic"

  18. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    rnmi2004 replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wonder how much of the help you are referring to is support/positive attitude and how much of it is "technical" assistance such as an LC would provide. My situation is apparently not the norm--my...

  19. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    rnmi2004 replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RNRottenNurse, there was an excellent post aimed at educating you on the value of breastmilk, as it sounds like you haven't been exposed to this information before. Please don't feel that anyone here...

  20. ER the TV show

    rnmi2004 replied to aruray's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: Sounds like a great

  21. SHAVING & WAXING

    rnmi2004 replied to barkley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not surprised you're seeing more & more women hair-free; I'm just surprised at how many people, male & female, reportedly get the whole Brazilian. OWWWWW... I once shaved my nether...

  22. Ethical Question

    rnmi2004 replied to Patient's topic in General Nursing

    My gosh...has this person not seen any of the HIPAA videos? You don't have to name names to be violating their privacy (& therefore, the HIPAA laws). If you give details about the situation, a...

  23. speaking of call bells...

    rnmi2004 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very creepy idea to me...what happens when the nurse goes to the bathroom? Does a yellow (or brown) light appear above the

  24. GYN patients in ER (I fought last night with GYN resident!)

    rnmi2004 replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    ITA, I have never heard of a pit drip for an early miscarriage. I've never even heard of an IM pit for that early. My sister had 2 miscarriages & they didn't give her any drugs, just waited to...

  25. Is nsg school part of the problem with the profession?

    rnmi2004 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have read many posts on here about nurses putting up with long hours, lack of appreciation, no raises, disrespectful treatment by administration, infighting, and all those other negatives that some...
