  1. Epidural management in labor

    gypsyatheart replied to Mythreeangels's topic in General Nursing

    That's crazy! Does anyone realize that they could actually be doing an injustice to these patients?? Geez! It sounds like they were serving the convienience of the anesthesia staff more than they were...

  2. Epidural management in labor

    gypsyatheart replied to Mythreeangels's topic in General Nursing

    At every institution I have worked at, the RN can load the bag/cassette and tubing, program the pump(although CRNA confirms this), turn it off, and pull the catheter. Anesthesia's role is to confirm...

  3. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    gypsyatheart replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely. This whole thread has had an "odd" feel to it since the start. I kind of feel like I'm "eavesdropping" on this unit. It's evident this girl has serious problems. And I also find...

  4. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Not just our "young" but our aging, our tired, our weak, our stressed, etc etc. Sad isn't

  5. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that very compassionate post. Oh, btw, we don't even know that this nurse was sleeping for 2hrs, perhaps it had been 15 min or so...we don't

  6. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly where I'm coming from....do you think administrators are "punished" or MD's.....uh, no I don't think so. It's only in nursing that we see this mentality. No wonder we aren't taken...

  8. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I notice that you are a nursing student.....ummm excuse me, but in no way, shape or form are you qualified as an RN to answer this question. Even if you are a tech, even working nights,...

  9. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I have to add, I really don't like the tone of what kind of "punishment" does this nurse deserve.... I mean, are we children here, in nursery school? I think not. We are professionals...I...

  10. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think almost every nurse that has worked nights, at one point or another, has been indescribably fatigued, and has had the urge to sleep. It is amazing how many nurses I have witnessed, over...

  11. What punishment should this nurse get?

    gypsyatheart replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire OMG, I can not believe what I am reading! There are actually nurses out there that thinks this nurse needs to be reported to the BON and lose her job ???? You have got to be kidding me???...

  12. Your opinion on nurses being role models of good health

    gypsyatheart replied to JustGettingStarted's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, please, not another one of these threads!!! We just finished having a big bruhaha about this a few weeks ago! :uhoh21: Geez, I have to believe that they are teaching more to these students than...

  13. I was passed over as charge...given to new grad instead

    gypsyatheart replied to amurdock's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely. It doesn't sound like the new grad has been given a permanent charge position, so I'm not sure what the fuss is about. Everybody needs to get a taste of being charge because sooner...

  14. Working PRN...how does that work?

    gypsyatheart replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Generally you give the scheduler your availability for the upcoming schedule. If they need help on those shifts, you are scheduled. Or, once the schedule is out,you can see what holes there are and...

  15. Nurses and suicide patients

    gypsyatheart replied to leopold's topic in General Nursing

    Frolicking, I am really sorry for your experience. I have no real insight as I do not work ER, but this behavior does not seem right to me. In general it really saddens me to see the lack of...

  16. Documentaion Legality and Etiquette

    gypsyatheart replied to mopsi's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. And quick. I would be equally concerned that this nurse may be performing outside of his scope of practice. The MD should've been notified as well. Remember, we are here to advocate for our...

  17. MY FEET HURT Shoe question

    gypsyatheart replied to Banana River's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My vote goes to Dansko's also. I tried all kinds of shoes for years as well, once I tried a pair of Dansko's.....no worries now....my search has

  18. Please don't move this to the New Mexico board.

    gypsyatheart replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    New Mexico is my home state, grew up in Albuquerque, which is about 50mi south of Santa Fe. Finally got outta there about 1 1/2 yrs ago....lots of family still there however. Now I am back and forth...

  19. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    gypsyatheart replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    She's a new grad. She's only been on orientation 4 wks. Her "stats" (age, race, gender, GPA) do not matter. The fact that her parents are doctors do not matter. Sounds like the preceptor needs to be...

  21. Are women psychologically predisposed to cattiness?

    gypsyatheart replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    You're right, oramar, this topic is :deadhorse !! Been done before. And, I agree w/your post....very thought provoking. Plus it illustrates the dangers of "stereotyping" a group of individuals..........

  22. Running About a Quart Low on Compassion?

    gypsyatheart replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Good job, Marla, I think you did fine. More people need to wake up and take responsibility for their own health and kudos to you for laying it on the line w/this pt! But geez, I just hate it, that we...

  23. Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    gypsyatheart replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    To Tanker and hope 3456, Nursing school and nursing as a career are two completely different things. Sure there are lots of people who want (or think they want) to be nurses. Part of why so-called...
