  1. I failed Med Surg 1

    missjennmb replied to klaney's topic in General Students

    just curious, but as you sound suprised about your grade, did you see it coming? How did you do on your tests for the class from beginning to end? Please dont think me unfeeling because I know how...

  2. Basic hygiene for CMO patient who refuses it?

    missjennmb replied to vintagestudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I asked my teacher about this exact thread yesterday. She basically said that you just keep bugging them. You cant do it against their will, but you ask repeatedly, and if that doesnt work, get...

  3. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good point. I hadnt thought of all of the "baby has to..." comments in this post. My babies, born at home, safe and healthy, had none of the above (except PKU at 1 wk after birth at the provider of...

  4. What's for supper...

    missjennmb replied to JHFaith's topic in General Students

    french bread works great too, just make sure you slice it

  5. Stirrups?

    missjennmb replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

    what a great thread - it really helps so much to visualize everything I am not a nurse yet (still in school) but I delivered both of my lady partsl births in water one on my knees (baby came out down...

  6. What's for supper...

    missjennmb replied to JHFaith's topic in General Students

    Homemade Pasta 2 large cans of whole tomatoes - seperate the juice a few tbs chopped garlic olive oil frozen chicken breast italian seasoning penne (I just really love penne for this) preheat oven to...

  7. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps this is something best posted on the CNM board, but I wonder if, becoming a CNM, we would have a BETTER shot at giving natural birth, or if we would end up with our hands tied even more by...

  8. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I actually called a lawyer during my 3yr old's pregnancy (I have a 13 yr old, 3 yr old and 1 yr old) and was told that unless we could prove harm, we would not have much of a case, legally OR...

  9. should I cut my hair?

    missjennmb replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If my husband did not have a severe aversion to short hair, mine would be short enough so that I never had to pin it back again. As it stands, I did cut it just yesterday so that its just hitting my...

  10. Basic hygiene for CMO patient who refuses it?

    missjennmb replied to vintagestudent's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm just a student as well, but what a rough situation. You said the patient is dying, so I'm assuming hospice type protocols? I was taught, just recently of course so I have no experience, that when...

  11. Getting involved or best to steer clear?

    missjennmb replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    unfortunately I agree. While I too would want to help the instructor, I think that this kind of drama would only get in the way of your goals. If you were to "go behind their backs" and let the...

  12. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really think its a lack of education that brings this about, or maybe mis-education. When I was pregnant with my first child, my OB wanted to schedule a cesarean because my bp was a bit high. Ya...

  13. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree that its horrendous, but its VERY common place unfortunately. I have had experience now with a big city hospital with a lvl 3 NICU and I think a LVL 4 "Perinatal Center" (not sure what that...

  14. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How horrible Mom2michael, it is like that in my area as well. Not all hospitals are the same, but its definitely seemed that way from a patient's perspective (and from the perspective of a support...

  15. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Amen to that! Unless you have been through the "system" and have had the opportunity to see the conflict between what a provider wants for you and what they are forced to do to you to keep their...

  16. Cord Cutting - delayed/no?

    missjennmb replied to missjennmb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is what I figured happened in the hospital unfortunately. I was hoping it was just my paranoia again. :) I had my last two as water births in non-conventional settings and we just kinda got up...

  17. Ugh! Delivered Baby On My Own The Other Day...

    missjennmb replied to jenrninmi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    regarding the comment about cutting the cord... is there a rush about it? I had thought (and with my two youngest acted) with no rush at all to cut the cord. Just baby is born and on mom's tummy for...

  18. I do not think I can make it in L&D... devastated

    missjennmb replied to RNKatrinaK's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you SO much for sharing this. I am a huge birth advocate/lover of all things baby and have been hoping to avoid OB like the plague, even though its probably the only area where I could ever...

  19. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    missjennmb replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think that, for low risk women, a midwife attended birth is SAFER than a doctor attended birth. As someone else mentioned, look at the statistics for infant mortality rates in industrialized...

  20. Nurses Smoking

    missjennmb replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    I can always smell smoke after my coworkers come in, and it turns my stomach a little bit, to be honest. Gum, mints, febreeze, etc, it still lingers unfortunately (sorry guys!) But... I just back up...

  21. Told to go home..

    missjennmb replied to Grayeagle's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding color codes though.... I think they are a great thing for patients. At my hospital you cant tell the difference between the nurses and the secretaries and the doctors (although the doctors...

  22. Told to go home..

    missjennmb replied to Grayeagle's topic in General Nursing

    You say "was"... what is the route you chose instead?

  23. Nurse Privacy Rights

    missjennmb replied to sweetmuffin48's topic in General Nursing

    My grandfather is in the hospital right now and when my mom went to visit him she said they could never tell who was who, and who was his nurse from one shift to the next. She said it was very...

  24. Can I not perform CPR?

    missjennmb replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely not trying to pick an argument, but just for clarification... this is incorrect right? In a code/CPR situation we would not be expected to consider the person's quality of life before...

  25. Best department for new RNs

    missjennmb replied to anneles's topic in General Nursing

    There is a hospital in my area that offers a very very long new nurse program. I'm hoping to get in there when I get out of school. It allows you, if I understand correctly, to train a little bit on...
