  4. big babies...

    nitenite replied to futurenurseheather's topic in Ob/Gyn

    nitenite replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Nursing Humor

    Granny will lose her denture the second you turn around and you won't find them until you change her diaper hours later. The hand you need to borrow will always be on or nearest the patient's crotch....

  15. Woman Calls C-Section "Rape"

    nitenite replied to c3p0's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Honestly, I can understand the comparison. Both are TRAUMATIC experiences. Both involve the body being breached, just in different ways, and the woman has no control once that breach happens. Women...

  16. OBs doing unnecessary C-Sections and inductions

    nitenite replied to a_wallace4's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. slow code?

    nitenite replied to pbmnms2's topic in General Nursing

    I'd never slow code anyone no matter how much I'd want to. But I think it's cruel to keep a 101 year old man with advanced Alzheimer's alive on a vent and all the trimmings in ICU only to have him...

  25. TV shows and movies that are ruined, because you know better

    nitenite replied to HollyHobby's topic in Nursing Humor

    One of the things that also drives me nuts is when you hear ventilator sounds and the camera pans over and the pt just has a cannula and a couple of IV's. Also, can't forget pt's who've been in comas...
