  2. What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    meluhn replied to RNman09's topic in General Nursing

    you are so right. where i work, everyone pretty much gets along but the people who do the most complaining are the ones that are causing the problem. one nurse has a crisis everyday that she works....

  3. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    meluhn replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well then you are very lucky. I have had a different experience. People should know the down side to breast feeding. Even so, I am glad I did it for as long as I could. I actually think there is...

  4. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    meluhn replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, and dont forget the pulling and squeezing and desensitization of the nipples. It definitely does a job on your boobs. I think we should give moms the info and let them decide. There is nothing...

  5. Sign announcing you're an RN on your car?

    meluhn replied to Perpetual Student's topic in General Nursing

    I think all forms of advertising who you are, how many kids you have, what pets you love and especially your political views, are just plain corny. I mean why would I care? I don't even know you....

  8. Reforming nursing education...

    meluhn replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be dangerous to have nurses graduate and start prescribing and diagnosing right out of school. I would even dare say disasterous. I dont think ther is any substitute for actually...

  9. I have Shingles

    meluhn replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    I would go straight to oc health with the question of weather to work or not, skip your supervisor, she may have a different agenda. Shingles is brought on somewhat by stress. Take a few days off...

  10. I want OUT!!!!

    meluhn replied to shoegalRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When people criticize you harshly, in my experience, it is more about their need to feel superior than any major shortcoming of yours. Listen to the people who give you constructive criticism without...

  11. So, who is working for the holiday?

    meluhn replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in General Nursing

    Please take a day off. I am tired just thinking about doing 2 weeks

  12. So, who is working for the holiday?

    meluhn replied to DLS_PMHNP's topic in General Nursing

    I saw a recipe for this once and I thought it was a joke. Do you really put a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey? I dont get

  13. Nursing and Asperger's Syndrome

    meluhn replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

  14. Home Health Care Pay

    meluhn replied to LakesideRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would not get out of bed for 22.50/hr as I made more as an LPN 10years ago, however, my area tends to pay higher. You have to look at the cost of living in the area you are in and the...

  15. What Would You Do If You Were In My Shoes?

  17. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    meluhn replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What you said really hit home with me because I have just noticed that I and many of my coworkers fit the description of a codependent. (I just kind of learned what it was) Not so much refering to...

  18. Heart that squeaks

    meluhn replied to bluebloods's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes when hearts make a squeaking or quacking sound it is a narrow valve but I have never heard of a stenosed valve in a 22 yo. Go see your md asap. Even if you cant get an appt, just tell him...

  19. What Would You Do If You Were In My Shoes?

    meluhn replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with nicu. Theoretically, it is a great move, but in reality it may be very stressful. You are the only one who can answer the question. If you are the type of person that makes friends...

  20. Got a minute? I could use some advice, please.

    meluhn replied to skyjunky's topic in General Nursing

    In my state they can only confirm the dates and ask "Would you rehire?" which is a yes or no question. A reference check supposedly never turns into a gossip session about the candidate, that would...

  21. Am I wasting my time applying to these colleges?

    meluhn replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    There are 4 year colleges out there that don't even count the SATs, or consider them optional. Most of them are private and more expensive than state schools but they might be worth looking into....

  22. Fellow student is....a little stinky

    meluhn replied to wants2BRN's topic in General Students

    How about just staying away from him? And yes, I have experienced this. I once had a classmate who smelled the entire room up when he walked in. In his case it really was a cultural thing, not like...

    1. Flashcards-read them out loud repeatedly. 2. Take good notes and study them while making flash cards of the important stuff. 3. Read the key points at the end of the chapter and all the tables in...

  24. Most embarrassing mistake you've ever made

    meluhn replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    One time I was taking care of a pt who was a dr at another teaching hospital in our same health system. I was making small talk with him as I was doing colostomy care and I was very focused on...
