  1. How many of you are perfect?

    gypsyatheart replied to orrnlori's topic in General Nursing

    No perfect nurse here! LOL Actually, I don't think I've ever met a "perfect" anybody.... I really enjoy the interaction at allnurses, because you get to see things from a different perspective...see...

  2. Readmission to newborn nursery

    gypsyatheart replied to Babytalk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't "re-admit" to the NBN either...if a baby has to be admitted, they go to Peds, or PICU, if sick enough. They are considered

  3. Specialization after Graduation???

    gypsyatheart replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    It used to be the standard that you had to complete 6mos to 1yr doing Med-Surg, which is a specialty unto itself, to "learn" how to be a nurse. This is no longer true. I knew exactly what I wanted to...

  4. provocative undergarments

    gypsyatheart replied to kathys's topic in General Nursing

    It's pretty pathetic that we actually have to have written policies to address this issue. It does seem like it would be common sense. I have also worked w/staff...not necessarily nurses who dress way...

  5. Hippa violation?

    gypsyatheart replied to BernieO's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree, this definitely needs to be reported! I was in a similar situation about 1 1/2 yrs ago....my nurse manager was having conversations about a health issue I was having, w/other nurses; she...

  6. Question from test today, need your opinion PLEASE!!

    gypsyatheart replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to throw my .02 cents in...I'd go with answer "C"; although, I agree w/the rest of you, none of the choices are ideal. However the juices listed are just a lot of sugar, and 3000mls of H2O...

  7. Employment discrimination?

    gypsyatheart replied to acuteobrn's topic in General Nursing

    In agree w/the other posts. First of all, there isn't any "discrimination", unless, like SmilingBlueEyes said, there is something else here. Second, it sounds like the NM or Director already has a...

  8. Am I alone in liking being a nurse?

    gypsyatheart replied to Shotzie's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, love being a nurse. Like so many others, I am frustrated by administration...the "politics" of healthcare. But I can't see myself doing anything else. It's part of who I am...my definition of...

  9. Thinking of L&D

    gypsyatheart replied to Deb117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you are making a great choice! I LOVE L&D/NNICU! I have been a nurse for a little over 12 yrs, and have been in this area for most of that time. For a few yrs, I tried out a few different...

  10. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    tinnekke, my heart goes out to you. I think what you did was very brave and the most UN-selfish thing I have heard in a long time! It is true, most women who give up their children via adoption do so...

  11. Bedside is Best

    gypsyatheart replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting post, I believe you're a little "off" in your assessments however. But what you state is logical, from a non-nurse perspective. It WOULD seem that all aspects of care revolve around the...

  12. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    :) :) ITA!:)

  13. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, no...as Deb already pointed out, there was another individual that stated something very derogatory about women choosing/seeking/contemplating abortion. A friendly discussion/debate is always...

  14. PIPP Pain Assessment & Gestational Age

    gypsyatheart replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Absolutely! We use sweet-ease ,just dip their paci in it and let 'em suck on it a few minutes prior to and during the procedure. Most babes, even NPO, can have this, unless specifically directed that...

  15. Status

    gypsyatheart replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    May I suggest that you speak for yourself....? Who are the "we" you speak of? WHO, exactly, is seeking status? Upon your very flawed analysis.... You seem to be the one w/issues regarding nursing,...

  16. Low Down on Nursing Education

    gypsyatheart replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post, Sharon! ITA! PS. In one of the OP's threads he stated that he's a student...I believe 1st semester, perhaps...I'd need to double check that, but HIS lack of education and knowledge is...

  17. Problems at Home.....

    gypsyatheart replied to lvn2004's topic in General Nursing

    Really try and hang in there! You are almost there! It sounds like your whole family is stressed out. Your husband is probably stressed from working 2 jobs, he probably doesn't want to do much when he...

  18. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    True, true. The other thing that bothers me, if this guy is even for real, if he has this kind of angry judgemental attitude towards one group of people, imagine how he would be towards most of the...

  19. Philosophy of Nursing

    gypsyatheart replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I think that term describes the OP more

  20. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Adn Wannabe RN, you've offerred a lively time on the boards this evening haven't you? LOL :chuckle You are so full of....hypocrysies and double talk, you don't even make sense anymore. Perhaps...

  21. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I guess you'll also have to avoid the ER/Urgent Care, Peds, MedSurg, Psych. And you never know when a REAL Nurse may offer you some "priceless advice", so I'd keep my ears open, if I were

  22. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, ADN, if you read my post, I never state that you have a "bad" attitude. I simply state that you HAVE an attitude, and you do indeed. You are certainly welcome to your opinion about abortion, as...

  23. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right Fergus...in fact, I just finished reading that other thread; it's certainly enlightening and explains a

  24. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You're a STUDENT, correct? Trying to become a nurse? You have a long way to go and with that attitude, it's gonna be a long journey. You also started a thread "Philosophy of Nursing", where you...

  25. Discarded babies

    gypsyatheart replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    ITA! Along the same lines, the same people who sit in judgement of this woman, some of them, I'm sure (already evidenced on this board), would condemn her for seeking an abortion. I know we all don't...
