    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    If I thought the word "create" could be explained away by the language difference (although there's nothing wrong with expecting our head of state to have a command of the English language, surely!),...

    Need Advice, My Son Was Diagnosed With Add

    LydiaNN replied to JasmineG's topic in Psychiatric

    One thing you'll want to monitor is his appetite and weight. Many of these meds affect the appetite, and the kids lose weight. My son got so skinny on Concerta that we had to switch meds. He's on...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Well now that's curious. How could telling someone to make all the observations that want be equated with attempting to silence them? Yes, there are plenty of people from Hollywood that tell people...

    poor circulation in hands

    LydiaNN replied to Ready's topic in General Nursing

    What came to my mind immediately was maybe DNP, although it could be any of a number of things. I suggest you consult your physician, which is something I'm still working around to doing since I...

    Dysfunctional Unit or Thin-skinned nurse?

    LydiaNN replied to cathyish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agree with the posts regarding looking elsewhere. I would, however, if at all possible, give the standard 2 week notice, just so this job doesn't contnue to haunt you after you're

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    As a Californian, I would love for you to show me any post in which I suggested that posting of opinions should be a privilege granted according to geography, but since I've never said any such thng,...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    There are plenty of people in Northern California who oppose logging and were against succession. Don't forget that San Francisco is the most populated city in that part of the state, and as a group,...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic-ish, but this audience will probably understand why I find this magazine title puzzling. Ds is selling mags for school and there is a title available called "Nursing Made Incredibly Easy"....

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    No, the majority did not make these statements. Timothy made them, based on his interpretation of news events in our state. I have yet to hear a single Californian express confusion as to why...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Saying what California "wants" is speaking for Californians, plain and simple. Make all the observations you wish, but don't assume you know what anyone else "wants" unless they tell you...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious just what it is that makes you think you have the right to declare what the citizens of California want. Let us be clear, you don't speak for

    Nurse on Survivor

    LydiaNN replied to rogramjet's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think we're thinking of different people, BabyRN. Hunter is from San Diego and I remember that season. Remember John, Zoe, Tammy and one other person, can't think of who, formed an...

    Arnold Schwartzneiger says "We need to create more nurses"

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    Note to Ahnie: Nurses are real people who have education and skills, not one of the special effects in the movies I wish to God you'd go back to making instead of pretending to govern the state that...

    Nurse on Survivor

    LydiaNN replied to rogramjet's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when that happened, but it was his own fault he got voted off. Four of them decided to form an alliance before they were the majority. Their other tribe members got wind of it and joined...

    Nurse on Survivor

    LydiaNN replied to rogramjet's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was very telling that all the girls professed admiration and excitement that Stephanie was joining the game, but the guys weren't as welcoming of Bobby Jon. One said, "supposedly he's a...

    LydiaNN replied to rogramjet's topic in General Nursing

    I think the old man just knew he was going to be voted off, and wanted to zing it to the strongest person on the team, which was

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    LydiaNN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am always opposed to major surgery that isn't necessary. lady partsl deliveries are very scary, yes, but millions of women before you have successfully delivered babies this way, and if they can do...

    your very own personal crusade

    LydiaNN replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone object to the term "Depends"? I know that they come in other brands, but the term is sometimes used the way "Kleenex" is used to refer to any brand of

    Sharp Grossmont v Anaheim Memorial

    LydiaNN replied to littletinker's topic in California Nursing

    What will be your primary consideration? Budget? Living near the beach? Quality of schools? I love where I live, but I don't think you'd want to come this far- it would take an hour to get to...

    Sharp Grossmont v Anaheim Memorial

    LydiaNN replied to littletinker's topic in California Nursing

    I don't anything about Anaheim Memorial, but I can tell you that SG is a good hospital, and I think you'd be happy there. And I can definitely tell you that living in San Diego is more pleasant than...

    your very own personal crusade

    LydiaNN replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Oh... now you've opened up a whole can of worms for me, lol. In general, I believe in People First language, which reflects your way of referring to the person first and the disease or disability...

    your very own personal crusade

    LydiaNN replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with your pad story, except here in the states, they're called diapers instead of nappies. Same undignifying affect. As for referring to it as product, I am sure feminine hygeine...

    Are you at work?

    LydiaNN replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    I come here at work all the time. Much more than I should, in fact. Which explains why I end up having to finish up work at home all the

    Anyone Have Professors That Do This?

    LydiaNN replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being a procrastinator myself, it wouldn't have ever helped me any if he had told you at the end of your last class what the topic was. I would still sit down to write the essay at around 2 pm on...
