    nekhismom replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that time in the hospital following the birth of a child is great! It feels good to get away from home, and it's responsibilities for a while! I had to have an emergency appy when my son was...

    nekhismom replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

  11. Forced Csection??

    nekhismom replied to L&D_RN_OH's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, what a mess! I, too, think that a big chunk of the story is missing. If she is a G7 P6, it seems like she would have been educated previously about the POSSIBILITY of a c-section. I know when...

  12. Is the NICU part of the Maternal rotation?

    nekhismom replied to Toby's mum's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We did one day in a NICU in another state close to my house. It was totally observational. I saw some pretty amazing things there. I was in an ADN program so we didn't actuallly rotate through the...

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    Thanks everyone. Let me update you on the goings-on. My brother is now scheduled to have a skin graft. HE still does not have any adequate pain control. My brother begged the Dr. personally for...

  17. skin grafts?

    nekhismom replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    Thank you for this helpful information! My brother is disabled, so he receives Medicaid. Unfortunately, Medicaid often doesn't like to pay for specialists and the like. They seem to think it is ok...

  18. Learning Injections on EACH OTHER

    nekhismom replied to kbeachworth's topic in General Nursing

    We did not practice injections on each other. We used the dummy for that. Our instructors said it was too dangerous to practice on one another...probably d/t exposure, not enough sharps boxes, etc....

  19. Old School

    nekhismom replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe I'm just crazy, but when I was in labor, I was GLAD for the foley! Especially when I got into active labor. I don't know how in the world I would have gotten up to pee, and I ALWAYS had to...

    nekhismom replied to BSNgrad2004's topic in General Students

    I think 90% of my clinicals were like that. I thought it was pretty sad. I just smiled and chatted with them like they were the greatest people in the world when I had time. And I never asked any...

    nekhismom replied to Daisy2's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  24. Hi 'all I'm from NY and am possibly moving to eastern TN

    nekhismom replied to jc008347's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Well, I'm originally from the Tri-Cities, and let me tell you, if you are young (under, lets say 35), and don't like NASCAR, this is not a good place to be. There is a small mall in Bristol, and a...

  25. GN Permits and ATT's

    nekhismom replied to JuicyJem's topic in Texas Nursing

    Still haven't heard anything here. No ATT via email, nothing. Not a peep. Frustration abounds here, because if I had applied in my home state of Virginia, I would have had the stupid thing by now...
