    Hospital food

    LydiaNN replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    The food at Children's Hospital here isn't good at all. The entrees always lookas if they've been in those steam pans a bit too long. Pasta just doesn't keep well, either. The noodles get all gummy...

    Hospital food

    LydiaNN replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    My Mom said hospital food was great when we were born, too. And between 5 of us, we were born in 4 different hospitals. I think it is just one of the many things that have changed, some not for...

    Hospital food

    LydiaNN replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    My dh was hospitalized for CV observation, and you should have seen the mystery plate he was served. I have absolutely no idea what this thing was. It looked a bit like a pot pie, but filled with...

    Adolescent Pregnancy = Developmental Delay or Acceleration???

    LydiaNN replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hate to say it, but I have met teenagers who got pregnant intentionally. Sometimes it was because they felt trapped by their home situations and thought moving out and having a baby would make...

    How often do you play hooky?

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I don't know where you work, but when I worked in a hospital, they would have just said tough. If you could work a switch out on your own, that was okay, but it wasn't even that helpful,...

    How often do you play hooky?

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you sure are a conscientious lot! I'm not going to tell you what my answer was, lol.... OTOH, I don't work in a hospital, and the nature of my position is that I have to get my work done, be I...

    You caught Cheaters... what would you do or have you done?

    LydiaNN replied to SummerGarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't tell on cheaters, but if they're being noisy and affecting my ability to concentrate on the test, all bets are

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    In post #85, my post is quoted by you. That means you were posting to me, or at least that you should have known I would assume you were addressing me directly. Otherwise, why on earth pull my...

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay..... What you said is that they don't seem to give much credence to a link between mercury and autism. The organization itself didn't actually come and say anything about its stand...

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    The ASA is hardly the voice of authority, but if you're going to bring them into it, at least make sure you have the facts about what they have to say. The question regarding a relationship between...

    But.... then, wouldn't the sick day be legit???

    what are my rights??

    LydiaNN replied to schwalmys8862's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what a rough year. I'm sorry for your struggles. I would look at the monitoring program has an opportunity rather than a burden. You need to prove to everyone, most importantly yourself, that...

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    If you're interested, there's a thread about autism and vaccines over on the developmental disabilities nursing board.

    When the Board of Nursing is out to get you....

    LydiaNN replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I thought. Did these complaints come from prisoners in the same cell block, or who have some other connection? I, too, would consider that

    Grey's Anatomy thoughts

    LydiaNN replied to baby_gurl0604's topic in General Nursing

    This just must be one of those shows that people either love or hate, with little middle ground. I've tried to watch it a couple times and had to turn it off because, well, let's just say I'm one of...

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that most 'lay' parents have any idea that the government's primary concern as relates to vaccination has nothing to do with the health of individual children, and everything to do with...

    FDA approves infant vaccine for diarrhea virus

    LydiaNN replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    I hope this one is safer than the one that got pulled off the market a few years

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    Personally, I don't favor these people getting away with their behavior. Particularly telling the instructor a bald faced lie. I simply don't consider it my job to rat them out.

    I am a cursed idiot

    LydiaNN replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I also think that taking CNA's post apart line by line was uncalled for, and frankly, mean. This isn't a current events board where we're debating issues and point-counterpoint is appropriate. She...

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    I remain unconvinced that this is what the universities mean when they refer to academic dishonesty. Yes, it is academically related and it is dishonest. I still think that the code of conduct...

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    Funny, I just read Penn State's code of conduct and all I could find is some language about facilitation of academic dishonesty by others. I would interpret that to mean that there would be sanctions...

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    You're comparing murder to drug use? In the first place, while I may not have witnessed the murder, it would certainly be easy enough to find out if one had occured, or the person she claimed is the...

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    I possess knowledge that she claimed she used drugs. That isn't the same as having knowledge that she does. And I don't live in

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    Stunned? My goodness, you seem to be getting a bit carried away with all of this. This is what my university says about it (granted, I've only been to one): Roles and Responsibilities within the...
