  5. Employee vs Patient: Do you receive care where you work?

    Oedgar replied to ladedah1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I never received care from the OB/gyns I worked in the office with. It would just be too awkward for me... knowing they know 'everything.' However, my coworker is on her 2nd pregnancy with one of the...

  6. Thoughts on the "doctor's stethoscope"

    Oedgar replied to kidzcare's topic in School

    Oedgar replied to ixchel's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Oedgar replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I went well. They wanted a 2nd interview, in a hurry. But... I actually chose not to pursue it further. It was fulltime, 40 hours, plus call duty. There was also a disaster preparedness component that...

    Oedgar replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  13. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    Oedgar replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely not. I am not suited to the 'anything-can-happen' nature of nursing, whether it's 5 admissions on my floor, or a pregnant meth head behaving erratically in my busy clinic. I have found that...

    Oedgar replied to Oedgar's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Yes, because the docs want it. When the docs made this rule, other nurse and I knew how much more it would hold up patient flow. And it took me 8 minutes on this particular day... for which I was...

  16. Should I give up scrubs?

    Oedgar replied to RatherBHiking's topic in School

    I would want to wear scrubs for all the reasons you have stated. I don't understand why you shouldn't wear scrubs. As for the kiddos that freak out.. I am sure you have good ways of coping with kid...

    Oedgar replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    This is a tough one. Some of these issues are real. My son began vomiting every morning in 2nd grade. It would go on from first day of school for months... then still sporadically. Had him checked at...

  20. Should I have checked?

    Oedgar replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Nope no way! I work in an OB/gyn office.. and we rarely look down below for preteens/young teens. Even if they come in with problem periods we just put them on the pill. You could have been in a bad...

    Oedgar replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Public, Community Health

    Oedgar replied to Eleven011's topic in Retired Nurses

    Just found out I didn't get the case management job. The recruiter called me a couple of times but we had difficulties due to my schedules. She caught me while I was out at lunch one day. I told her I...
