  1. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    Equinox_93 replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um- when Dad stays overnight after a birth- it would be *parenting* care- which is his right and responsibility as the child's

  2. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    Equinox_93 replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's also not a laughing matter to have a newborn prevented from eating when they need to eat, regardless of mama's circumstance. If Mom had a hard labor/birth and wasn't able to breastfeed when baby...

  3. Qestions about being a CNA

    Equinox_93 replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding my instructor- but it has been stressed in my class that charts do not leave the nurses station- which I am taking to mean that we have access TO said charts. Either I am...

  4. how do you keep your sexy??

    Equinox_93 replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    ... You're 26... That's hardly "with age"

  5. how do you keep your sexy??

    Equinox_93 replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Sure- until they go to do a transfer and the crotch seam splits to reveal their Pokemon

  6. how do you keep your sexy??

    Equinox_93 replied to healthcarefome's topic in General Nursing

    Sexy is a mindset- an attitude- it is a certain confidence that one has regardless of what one is wearing/doing etc. I don't need to be wearing my kitten heels, cute outfit and makeup to feel

  7. Battle of the Shifts!!!

    Equinox_93 replied to greeniebean's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That all depends on where you work. Many facilities have residents who are bathed in the evenings- and night shift gets everyone up for breakfast in many places. Depending on the facility- night shift...

  8. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Equinox_93 replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You didn't find a problem with everyone seeing your underthings? All the ones I try do.... White under white you see all the nice detail on the underthings LOL Which I guess is OK if you're a size 2...

  9. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    Equinox_93 replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That must be nice to have the staffing to be able to take baby to mom for those moms who are breastfeeding and whose babies want to eat every 20min :) That's alot of back-and-forth for the staff

  10. Qestions about being a CNA

    Equinox_93 replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Maybe it's a state to state issue as far as who has access to the charts... Our instructor told us to be sure to check the chart- but not to rely on it as a guarantee because a resident/patient may...

  11. Qestions about being a CNA

    Equinox_93 replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The information would be in the patients chart if they were diagnosed- would it

  12. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Equinox_93 replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    LOL Yeah- discreet also goes out the window when you spend your day wiping people's rear ends... :chuckle Ya just develop a thicker skin for anatomy and bodily functions etc.

  13. She did WHAT?

    Equinox_93 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And the charge nurse knows about it but hasn't stepped in to do anything about it? Might try going to the DON? For something like that I'd just keep going up the chain of command until I got someone...

  14. Need your help please

    Equinox_93 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ... Working as a bartender is ALOT different than working as a healthcare professional. And yes- a CNA is a healthcare professional. If you screw up a bar order- the chances of someone getting hurt or...

  15. Need your help please

    Equinox_93 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Personally? I'd be very wary and I'm not sure I'd even do it in the first place... I'd have to sit down with a lawyer and discuss liability issues. YES I would have an insurance policy and NO I would...

  16. She did WHAT?

    Equinox_93 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Half washed and no call bell? That's a safety issue not just an annoyance! Did you report it to the charge nurse? A call bell is a resident's life line- gods forbid something would have happened while...

  17. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Equinox_93 replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd try either skin tone or white leggings (not tights- like panty hose kind things- but leggings- which are skin tight pants meant to *be* pants) under the

  18. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Equinox_93 replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Spanx are great, but they show up under white scrubs. They don't exactly *hide* "the goods"- they just show up as underthings larger than a thong LOL Skin tone would be better under white scrubs- but...

  19. Scrubs, Scrubs. Scrubs :)

    Equinox_93 replied to Kitcat25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ... Well... When you're wearing white scrubs- *everyone* will know what's under your scrub pants if you aren't a bit clever about hiding it LOL

  20. I have an inactive LPN license...can I work as a CNA?

    Equinox_93 replied to amybaby2's topic in General Nursing

    If your LPN license is inactive, and you don't have a CNA certification- then I'd say you aren't eligible- but that might vary state to

  21. Explaining circumcision to mom....

    Equinox_93 replied to brentster_us's topic in Patient Education

    Yes! I heard a story recently about a nursing home situation where an uncirc'd resident had to have crusted smegma soaked off because the staff just wasn't taught how to properly retract and cleanse...

  22. Explaining circumcision to mom....

    Equinox_93 replied to brentster_us's topic in Patient Education

    ... If nursing assistants and nurses were taught to take care of uncircumcised memberes correctly, then you wouldn't be seeing that problem with the "nasty old uncirc'd memberes" from the

  23. Explaining circumcision to mom....

    Equinox_93 replied to brentster_us's topic in Patient Education

    Well- given that it *has* been proven to decrease STD transmission, I don't think the issue is quite as simple as merely giving parents "the facts" and it being as clear cut as all that. Also- the...

  24. "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    Equinox_93 replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The thing is- once the baby is born, it's no longer just about what's best for Mom- it's also about what's best for the new patient- the baby. Is it best for a newborn to be seperated from their...

  25. Qestions about being a CNA

    Equinox_93 replied to teysmith's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OH yes. You will likely be told by the nurses- and the information will be in the patients chart- as well as possibly an indicator on the patients door. (Some facilities use color coded stickers or...
