  1. How to quit immediately ?!

    BabyLady replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. I'm going to play Devil's advocate. Two years, three jobs and getting ready to start a fourth. You need to be VERY VERY careful at this point because I am sure you thought that job #2 and job #3...

  2. Beth Israel School of Nursing - NOT ACCREDITED???

    BabyLady replied to ccjus123's topic in New York Nursing

    Discovernursing.com is not an accrediting institution. Therefore DO NOT go by them to check their accreditation. Go to the source!!! PS: Hospitals probably had to pay a small fee to be listed on...

  3. Nursing Interview Attire

    BabyLady replied to Gizmo44's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have always thought of shirt-dresses as more of business casual than appropriate for interview attire. It is not a choice I would make. I also never account for the weather...at all. I also would...

  4. Not immune to mmr

    BabyLady replied to Band's topic in General Students

    Stop worrying. Let me give you some advice. If you got the MMR as a child and I am assuming you are over 18 years old, to NOT be immune is an EXPECTED RESPONSE. This is one of the vaccinations where...

  5. Can I legally read TB tests and give injections to family and friends?

    BabyLady replied to cyb3rRN's topic in General Nursing

    I help one of my neighbors with her insulin injections as well as occasionally check her blood pressure for her. She is elderly with arthritis and has trouble with site rotation. She can get the...

  6. Calling out the pts name in the waiting room...HIPAA?

    BabyLady replied to TeresaEDRN06's topic in Emergency

    I have always hated sign-in sheets. For one thing, it is a huge opportunity to spread germs. Second, the front-end staff needs to stop surfing on the internet for a few minutes and write the name...

  7. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    BabyLady replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, I'll give you an example of what I see. You have a parent that comes in and has some questions on their baby. That is our entire job, is to answer questions. Parents (smart ones) at least...

  8. Can I legally read TB tests and give injections to family and friends?

    BabyLady replied to cyb3rRN's topic in General Nursing

    ...this isn't entirely true. If you have an injection and you gave the injection incorrectly, THAT you are responsible for. However, if a physician writes a prescription, the medication and dosage is...

  9. immunization requirements

    BabyLady replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in General Nursing

    I too, had the same problem because the hospital that I originally got my vaccinations through the hospital shut down and my school records from where I got them were lost in a fire when I was in the...

  10. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    BabyLady replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seriously....I can detect the sarcasm. Child abuse needs to be brought to the attention of security and that mother was also reported to social services. Or didn't you know that? Glad I could...

  11. So I got rejected from NP school...

    BabyLady replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not saying there aren't selective schools out their, but they are not the norm. I have been through the application process at several schools and friends all over. I'm telling you, it just seems...

  12. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    BabyLady replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Uh, you are assuming a lot, aren't you? That I have never been confronted by a "family from hell"? You are incorrectly assuming that just because I have the people skills to diffuse a situation that...

  13. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    BabyLady replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not a fad and it isn't going away. I can see it going away if we ever go to a universal healthcare system. However, I hope to never see that nightmare in my

  14. Grunting baby...

    BabyLady replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ah!!! . Yes, we were talking about two different things. If they are still not transitioning after going through everything to help them transition (which you know doesn't take long), they will draw...

  15. Grunting baby...

    BabyLady replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You actually did not misinterpret my post. This is something we have been doing for the past few months with a huge amount of success. We have intubated, administered surfactant, then extubated and...

  16. Grunting baby...

    BabyLady replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't disagree with you more. A chest X-ray for a kid with respiratory issues can instantly tell you what the ptoential problem is. Any kid in my unit, if blow-by and PPV doesn't transition, the...

  17. Was going to earn my NP, but not anymore.

    BabyLady replied to CrashVector's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The more I read these, it is just another reason why the profession of nursing needs to GET ORGANIZED. There are more of us, than there are of them. Most RN's with a DNP, have spent JUST AS MUCH TIME...

  18. car seat challenge/test

    BabyLady replied to ICNClinicalRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Car seats, as I stated before, are a necessary part of the discharge process. It is very, VERY important to look up current guidelines and not ASSUME that a more senior nurse knows what they...

  19. Grunting baby...

    BabyLady replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ...I'm actually worried about something else. That something as obvious as a blood gas and a chest x-ray was missed. Did anyone do an assessment of how the lungs SOUNDED? To me, this was a much more...

  20. Customer Service? Maybe on your home planet.

    BabyLady replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is what nurses that have never worked in another profession don't realize. In EVERY profession where customer service is promoted, it doesn't matter how nasty, saracastic, etc., a "customer" is,...

  21. being young!

    BabyLady replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    Most students that have BSN's have started college right out of high school and finished when they are around 22. So it is not unusual. Being young is not an obstacle as long as you stay open

  22. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    BabyLady replied to katieusa's topic in Medical-Surgical

    No way, would I keep a job like that. 12 hours is too long. Alternative: Get a physician's note requiring your employer to allow you to sit part of the shift...I seriously doubt if you would have...

  23. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    BabyLady replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    There is NO SUCH THING as weeding out. I personally, wish students would stop using the term. What there is, are academic standards...either students step up to the plate and realize that nursing...

  24. Hep C+ mom, bloody amniotic fluid, chances for baby?

    BabyLady replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It is a risk that people who are Hep C positive and HIV take when they choose to have a baby. Personally, I couldn't do it. Time will

  25. Was going to earn my NP, but not anymore.

    BabyLady replied to CrashVector's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ....on a side note...why don't legislatures do this: Why don't they pass a law requiring all medical residents to inform their patients when giving advice that they have only graduated from medical...
