What a fun thread this has been. Walking down memory lane can be fascinating. I became a nurse later in life, but i have worked in health care since 1971 and both my mother and mother-in-law were nurses. My mother-in-law's memories were the oldest (g...

Sorry? I have no idea what you are referring to?

Good for you! I myself joined Curves a few months ago and although weight is not falling off of me (I haven't really changed my eating habits) I AM feeling much better. Exercise is a wonderful way to make you feel emotionally and physically healthier...

Hello all, I haven't been to this part of allnurses.com before but now I have more of a need to see what is up here. I am someone who took a circuitous route to my current place in life. To make a long story shorter I didn't know what I wanted to be ...

I have been charged with coming up with an educational program for my unit that includes mock drills for shoulder dystocia, PP hemorrhage, stat C/S, infant resucitation and infant abduction. Does anyone have any curriculae or protocols for these kind...

Hi Vanessa, Thanks for these references. I have read them all as well as many others and have come to the conclusion that the recent research seems to indicate that natural drying isn't as wonderful as we would like it to be but that it seems that pr...

I didn't read all of the posts because I don't have time right now...but I do have a pretty good bibliography that you can use. Email me at [email protected] and I will send it to you.

My youngest when he was three years old looked up at his Aunt's largely pregnant belly and said "Aunt Sandra, how you get all that fat food in there?" LOL He hasn't lived that down for the past 18 years!

I know just what you mean. I love the women who come in by ambulance for a labor check because they "didn't have a ride" and then they expect to get an ambulance ride back home! We tell that that there are two reasons that is not going to happen. One...

I went there too and thought I had made a mistake for a second and was reading your post again!! I did enjoy this thread, it is fun to see what people think of when pressed to come up with a "nickname" for themselves. Some of us (besides me) are quit...

I am assuming you weren't working the night shift if you could get vitals at 9 pm. A night shift nurse needs to get them AFTER she actually gets to work I would think?

Sort of reminds me of "slap happy"! Cute! I feel badly about the student who goes by the name Sad. If I were an instructor at her/his school I would take that as a mandate to look into what might make a student feel so negative about her educational ...

Same here....more exercise slightly smaller portions. The exercise has been making me feel much better and that I care about more than the weight.

Gee, I wonder who that could be Betsy!!! I am not sure that the loose cannon example is really that she doesn't think outside the box. More that she likes to be in the center of things that she thinks she can handle but really has no clue of the trou...

I just had to weigh in on this topic. I lived my entire life (until the past 14 months) in New England. My first job was as a nurse's aide when I was 16 getting paid $1.10 an hour. From that time on I understood that a snowstorm was no excuse not to ...

For my pinning we wore our student uniforms. That what was we wore as we struggled to become nurses and it seemed appropriate to wear that to our pinning. It was a brief but meaningful ceremony held in a classroom with treats and punch provided by th...

Had a similar experience in my house when one of my boys was 13. He had suffered for a whole day before having the guts to tell me about this... he had peed in the woods and apparently had poison ivy on his hands...he is VERY sensitive to poison ivy....

:chuckle And half of the world's doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class!!! LOL

I am having difficulty with my image, just trying to get it to work...
