  6. Failure to thrive

    BabyLady replied to ringaroundtheposey's topic in Pediatric

    My sister-in-law had a baby (15 years ago) that they diagnosed with failure to thrive. I also know, personally, that she lied to the Pediatrician on the child's diet to cover up for the fact that she...

  8. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    BabyLady replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In a sickle cell crisis? You relieve the pain first. They are not going to be on a PCA if they come into the ER in the midst of a sickle cell crisis...they are going to receive immediate pain...

  10. Narcotic Wasting Mistake

    BabyLady replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    To me...there is the source of your problem. The Head of Security, in my opinion, should have no dog in the race. He is SECURITY, he isn't a police officer. The police have already made their...

  11. Stethoscope cleaning

    BabyLady replied to CanuckStudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  12. Heavy books

    BabyLady replied to MHSA LPN's topic in General Students

  14. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    BabyLady replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    They are not 100% sure what causes the sickling...if it was always dehydration and an increase in blood viscosity, then it could be 100% controlled. But we know it has other triggers and that some...

  15. SICKLE CELL CRISIS: Oxygen or Fluids??

    BabyLady replied to SiempreBella's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Alcohol DEHYDRATES the body. It works as a diuretic....products that contain caffeine do the same thing. So pick a drink that would hydrate. Pain is the priority....b/c STRESS can be a trigger to the...

    BabyLady replied to macbelleRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Ok...this is a hard thing to admit....

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, part of my problem is that the entire time I have been in school, I had plan on using Suzanne's Plan..which mid-semester this Spring...no longer became available. So..I never really had a Plan...

  20. Ok...this is a hard thing to admit....

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Because I'm mid-orientation...taking time off really isn't an option. I don't have a date, that is a deadline...however....I am at a significantly less pay and don't get to pass meds until I am an...

  23. Pain in childbirth 'a good thing'

    BabyLady replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BabyLady replied to RN4Little1s's topic in NICU, Neonatal
