  1. The head of HR fired this person for watching movies at work

    BabyLady replied to hospicerocks's topic in General Nursing

    Here is what you do: Take your husband, go out to dinner, get a good bottle of wine and LAUGH about it. If someone was watching movies at work...that means that they were not taking care of patients....

  3. Nurse pressured to admin IV lasix by DON w/o notifying MD

    BabyLady replied to karenesn's topic in General Nursing

    Now way would I work in that facility. If someone needs to go to the ER, they need to go to the ER. If 911 needs to be called, then 911 needs to be called. Cost saving measure? How about a lawsuit...

    BabyLady replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are you a licensed social worker? I suspect not. You would be very surprised to know what is "required" to deem a mother unfit and unable to take care of a baby. Social services is not going to...

  6. I need to vent right now or I will absolutely EXPLODE!!!!

    BabyLady replied to aeonflux40's topic in General Nursing

    You need to let the physician know now. Because the physician is assuming that the patient is getting the heparin over all of these hours....because there is a possibility that the physician may order...

  7. Anyone going baby friendly?

    BabyLady replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Surely you are not this naive. We give a formula diaper bag to EVERY MOTHER that leaves the hospital. Every mother. You know why? Because the formula companies send them to us FOR FREE and whether the...

    BabyLady replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We don't either. We hand out the formula bags and the bottles that they bring breast milk back in are made my Good Start and has the logo on all of the bottles. We do not accept breast milk in bags...

  9. Anyone going baby friendly?

    BabyLady replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, but you cannot hold all nurses to blame because one nurse refused to believe that you had cancer. I would have absolutely lost it with that

  10. I need to vent right now or I will absolutely EXPLODE!!!!

    BabyLady replied to aeonflux40's topic in General Nursing

  15. "Becoming a Doctor is like, 100 times harder than becoming a nurse".

    BabyLady replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that saying that it's more difficult to become a physician is bashing nursing in any way. I can tell you now...if I was better at Chemistry and better at Math, I would make the leap in a...

  16. Is this common in an RN program???

    BabyLady replied to VetTechingWasEasier's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    BabyLady replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

  22. Bashed for pursuing lpn route

    BabyLady replied to soladylike1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'll be honest...it's not that people that are not smart get an LPN instead of an RN...that would be an insult to all LPN's..I have learned alot from LPN's. It's that in most academic programs...you...
