  1. That person

    Oedgar replied to AmandaRn912's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I usually keep it to myself. However, docs have figured it out several times. There have also been times when I've been with my parents at the hospital, and they out me! Also, when I am with my kids...

    Oedgar replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    My unmedicated first delivery. (which was not my choice!) I was in so much pain I did not talk, other than maybe one-word answers to questions. It was all I could do to breath through the ctx. There...

  3. 3/6 months... quitting the job...

    Oedgar replied to nichefinder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you should get out before your health gets worse. I really can't believe the flap over the use of "ghetto." Was it totally politically correct? No. But it clearly stated the exact population...

  6. questions about ob clinic

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

    And realistically, we see anywhere from 16-24 pts a day, depending on the number of no-shows. But the days my doc is running full tilt, other doc is running full tilt, and we are all over each other...

  8. Nurse of 10 years can't start IV's

    Oedgar replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    This thread makes me feel so much better! I worked in a Pedi/Pulmonary unit as a new grad LVN. Let's just say that in my two years there, I did not have one single successful IV start to my name! My...

  9. Least stressful nursing specialty

    Oedgar replied to alby_dangle's topic in Nursing Career

    Clinic nursing is definitely less stressful. However, my current job is pretty stressful for a clinic. I am in OB/Gyn and the place is so busy I often don't have two minutes to make needed phone...

  10. How to Return to Work after Raising Kids

    Oedgar replied to jcemen's topic in Retired Nurses

    Oedgar replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I have to agree... my brother and I each made one ER trip, both accidents where we hit our heads/needed stitches. My own children have each been once. My son, at age four, had the worst GI bug I had...

    Oedgar replied to Manofstone's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am in Texas as well, in a small rural-but-growing community near Houston. Opportunities here are largely nursing home, corrections, and home health. However, our local hospital is growing into a...

  17. Texas Children's Hospital: Graduate Nurse Program 2014

    Oedgar replied to VintageSwagger's topic in Texas Nursing

    My nursing experience there is ancient, and not as an RN. However, in 1992 as a new LVN grad I worked there. I did about two weeks of classroom orientation, med administration exam, etc. I was then...

  18. Do LPN's have to draw blood at most clinics?

    Oedgar replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I can relate to your concern. I have just gone back to work in an OB/gyn office, after many years at home. My last blood draw was in 1994, because the job I took after that was in an allergy office....

    Oedgar posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I work in OB/Gyn office. We had a patient who needed some time-sensitive bloodwork drawn. We'd actually already ordered it, and when results did not come in I called the lab, to find that she had not...

    Oedgar replied to Vicky Laursen's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In an OB/gyn office, in rural Texas... $15 per hour, after many years at home, and zero OB experience. My coworker, who has lots of experience, and has been there 10years, makes 18. No insurance,...

    Oedgar replied to Oedgar's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oedgar replied to Ckayowen's topic in Ob/Gyn
