  2. Weird question about taking my pulse in the middle of conversations

    gypsyatheart replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

    These kinds of disorders are never "cured", susanna. The goal of medication is to control syptoms. It really does sound as if you are sufferring anxiety attacks, or of course, a component of OCD....

  3. Anencephaly

    gypsyatheart replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My heart goes out to you and the family, both. What a difficult situation! It is hard to see some of the defects little ones are born with. I agree, don't beat yourself up. I'm sure the family felt...

  5. Job won't quit calling on my days off!!!!!

    gypsyatheart replied to jenny_g's topic in General Nursing

    My dear, this is typical of practically any nursing unit/job! LOL! That's why you either have caller ID/voicemail or pick up the phone every morning to hear someone asking for your "help". As long as...

  6. screwed up at work... feeling crappy...

    gypsyatheart replied to Kudra's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you're feeling better, physically and emotionally. Don't beat yourself up, you're still learning, you didn't get proper orientation, and no one helped you! The mistakes you made were minor,...

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  11. My externship is not going well

    gypsyatheart replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, this is a very bizarre post. Not very enlightened at all. I'm not sure where Cosmic nurse gets his perceptions of NP's....way off base! Furthermore, to advise someone to "get used to poor...

  12. Intimacy Issue

    gypsyatheart replied to ryguy76's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely no clue what you are talking about....see no other post to refer back to....? At any rate, your comments are pretty off the wall, in fact, even "rude". What is with this "get over it"...

  13. Is this legal?

    gypsyatheart replied to ham22's topic in General Nursing

    Are you on FMLA? Your employer probably falls under those guidelines. It is mandated by the federal government. They do have a website, sorry I don't have it offhand. Do a google under: family medical...

  14. I can't believe I let this man hurt me like this

    gypsyatheart replied to OHmom2boys's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. Question regarding asthma

    gypsyatheart replied to Love4Me's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this was going on last evening. I hope you're doing OK. Asthma isn't anything to fool around with. You need to get your follow up education and know your "plan" as the previous poster was...

  18. Question about MS

    gypsyatheart replied to beckymcrn's topic in General Nursing

    MS is a disease process that causes lesions along the spinal cord and/or the brain. It is very conceivable that his behavior is a result of the MS. I would try showing some compassion and perhaps he...
