  1. Does the MAGNET system work?

    SheaTab replied to forrester's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is suspect. Have you ever gotten a

  2. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not sure I agree with the statement that all management/admin care about is money. I have met some incredible administrators who care very much about patients and healthcare. As I said before, it...

  3. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you for your consideration. I believe that if we'd all come to the table and think long and hard about this, we can fix the

  4. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi Inshallamiami: Again, how do you propose such a massive undertaking and what if unionization isn't the panacea for the burnout phenomena? I'm not arguing for or against unions here, I am wondering...

  5. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My best friend, who happens to be a medical malpractice attorney, said it best when she said that she didn't know if she would personally be willing to stand up for her patients rights if it meant...

  6. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    MeanDragonBrett: How can nurses be considered a "necessary evil?" Have we really digressed so far as an industry that, for the most part, success is defined by our bottom-line? Is it because more of...

  7. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Travel50: I am so sorry to hear that you are considering leaving the profession. I am of the firm persuasion that in life, "things" never change; however, people do. We cannot create peace by starting...

  8. Are we experiencing mass burnout in healthcare?

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    UKStudent: Being that we are the largest collective group of healthcare workers in the nation, is it really true that we are powerless or have we been led to believe that this is so? Let me tell you...

  9. Student wants advice about professor from Nurse Educatiors

    SheaTab replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    This is a great discussion. I agree with the suggestion that reading the material prior to lecture will help you leaps and bounds in absorbing the lecture and also in your ability to ask intelligent...

  10. Time to Triage

    SheaTab posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi ED nurses! I am hoping someone might know of some data that states the maximum amount of time a patient should wait to be triaged or at least be assigned an ESI (not fully assessed) by an RN upon...

  11. Time to Triage

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Emergency

    Thank you all so much for your replies. This information has been very useful.

  12. Time to Triage

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Emergency

    I checked out ENA and wasn't able to find anything. Any hints? Nurses do work in triage, just not at the front desk in the case I speak of. It isn't preferable, that's for sure. I'm trying to find...

  13. Tough Enough?

    SheaTab replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in Emergency

    Wow! You know what? I have cried with patients and their families. I just don't see anything wrong with it. Being a "rock" for someone does not mean you can't show emotion. There is something about...

  14. Doulas?

    SheaTab replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Great Info!

  15. Doulas?

    SheaTab replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Awesome on your low c-section rate for failure to descend!! Would you mind sharing with us some of your secrets. I am often frustrated when moms (esp. primips) can't even feel pressure to push and end...

  16. Atlanta L&D

    SheaTab posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hey all... I will be relocating to the Atlanta area very soon (not exactly sure what area yet) but would really love it if anyone could make some suggestions! I am completely overwhelmed by the number...

  17. Doulas?

    SheaTab replied to asher315's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I love them as well. Honestly, they are a big help with a natural patient because without one, the nurse typically supports the patient to an equal or even greater degree than the SO. Everyone know's...

  18. Have you ever... and how do you document it?

    SheaTab replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    SROM during VE (your intention wasn't to rupture the membranes, right??!!). Fluid clear, moderate amount, no foul odor.

  19. Fundal pressure

    SheaTab posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone seen any complications firsthand directly resulting from the use of fundal pressure? We have an MD here who I think asks for it with every delivery!!! Also.. on epidurals. I have often...

  20. Fundal pressure

    SheaTab replied to SheaTab's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, I can't believe that you have never used forceps?!?! Not that I feel that they are a good thing, but I would be willing to bet that we use them everyday where I work. UGH! Mostly due to the fact...

  21. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    SheaTab replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I plan on attending CNM school next year... I can definitively tell you that I will not be this way! ;o) The nurses won't be able to get me out of their room. I sometimes think though, the less the...

  22. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    SheaTab replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    steph>>> Holy Cow!!! I have never had a doc sit with me and push for two hours. I am impressed with your physicians! We get dirty looks from our physicians if the baby is not about to fall...

  23. Family Sues After Woman Dies From Mistake At Military Hospital

    SheaTab replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OMG... horrific! I'm not sure how you could anesthetize a heart either. I mean... sure a diaphragm.. but the heart muscle displays automaticity. However, being that I'm not a CRNA/MDA, who knows. I've...

  24. How high is too high for pitocin

    SheaTab replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't go over 40 milliunits/min without an order. However, I rarely get that high. We have a couple of MDs that will come in and adjust your pit with and without your knowledge. When they...

  25. Male Nurse and OB/GYN ? Is this okay ?

    SheaTab replied to earthlovers123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have questions about this though... Our male OB's will not examine a patient without a nurse at the bedside for liability reasons. How does a male nurse handle this? Wouldn't the same issues be...
