  1. we've been having heated - but not yet angry - discussions

    gypsyatheart replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have to agree with those who say we should curtail services to illegal aliens. I don't think there is anything "ignorant" about wanting to take care of your "own", before those who are not...

  2. OB/GYN vs Midwife vs Fam Practice MD

    gypsyatheart replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    CNM is definitely the way to go! They offer, really, a personal touch. They teach and listen, really spend the time w/you that the doc just doesn't do. Where I am, the family practice docs transfer...

  3. Right thing? personal opinions needed.

    gypsyatheart replied to ejm99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    gypsyatheart replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I totally agree with you jkaee. I wish I knew the answer, also. I really believe if our (as in societies) priorities were a little straighter, then the elderly, the young and the...

  8. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    gypsyatheart replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't read all of the news about this woman and this situation,but, it seems likely that she had little to no prenatal care, which would be right in line with someone with a mental disability. As...

    gypsyatheart replied to indulgentmom's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: OK, I'll be serious. I don't believe in credit cards...have no use for them, just a big scam as far as I'm concerned! Maybe the people who really are well paid can...

  10. Consequences of Bad Choices

    gypsyatheart replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I find it very suspicous. I mean, what are the odds that one would marry and have each spouse attempt suicide? IMO there is a definite need for more investigation....are the authorities...

  11. Nurses 150-180% .... others maybe 80%

    gypsyatheart replied to RNPATL's topic in General Nursing

    RNPATL, I know exactly what you mean. The medical field, especially nursing, really does present it's own unique stressors, unlike those found in any other profession. There are lots of other high...

  18. If I Hear One More Time........

    gypsyatheart replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! This is exactly what to do...sneaking them in the back door or not, I'd pull that "supervisor" out to the nurse's desk, have the "refusing assignment d/t unsafe conditions" form signed, hand...

  19. Labor Question

    gypsyatheart replied to GladysStiles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    gypsyatheart replied to gypsyatheart's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, dawngloves and wjf00, please share the names of those hospitals! Even privately, if you wish! It would help to have a "heads up" especially when I don't know much about the hopsitals out there!...
