1. Does it help being a CNA in Nursing School?

   TonyafutureRN replied to alexsb1116's topic in General Nursing

   I disagree also that you shouldn't work and go to school. I am going to school full time 5 days a week and still work at least 30 hours a week. And I have a 4.0 halfway through my LPN course. I have...

5. Too Posh to push?? Thoughts please!

   TonyafutureRN replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   I can't imagine wanting your baby to be born by surgery instead of delivering him/her lady partslly. Of course if a c-section was necessary, I would have had one, but choose it? never! I know a LOT of...

   TonyafutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

   Today was the first time I had a patient die in my care, or a person die in front of me for that matter. It wasn't a surprise at all since she was a hospice patient and the hospice nurses had told the...

   Way to go RN2 92. I loved your post, it got a laugh from me. I had a question from the nurse who posted about the mother of the child with a fever dressing and covering up the child. I am in school,...

10. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    TonyafutureRN replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm with you, Frances. Drinking semen (or anything else for that matter) out of someone's rear is BEYOND disgusting. I didn't think anything was worse than the rodent thing, but that very well may

    TonyafutureRN replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for writing to me guys. I have found that yoga and stretching help me feel better when my back is sore after working. I really wish I had more time to exercise during the week, but between my...

14. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My grandmother also said she thought the baby wasn't as early as we thought, but her reasoning was the baby had long fingernails. Of course she's also the grandmother who told me my milk had turned to...

15. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So do you think the dr shouldn't have let my baby go home? I hadn't really thought about that before I came to this board. I did have to bring the baby back to the dr the next day (fri), then early...
