  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...

  2. I'm a potential bone marrow match!

    TonyafutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had went to a bone marrow drive back in 1998, and I got a call yesterday saying there is a 38 year old woman with Hodgkin's Lymphoma who looks like a preliminary match. They asked for consent to do...

  3. I'm a potential bone marrow match!

    TonyafutureRN replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some of your replies are so sweet you make me want to cry! Thanks, guys. As for the cost, I went to a bone marrow drive and one time I went with the guy I was dating to a drive, and nobody was...

    For the poster who was wondering about how to get registered, go to http://www.marrow.org and it will answer your questions. From what I read on the website,several million people are registered and...

  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...

  6. My first time

    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...

  7. Roaches are going to drive me out of home care!!!

    TonyafutureRN replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    Yikes! I hate roaches too.I do home health as well but haven't really had a problem with this. I only saw a roach one time in one house. Most of my patients are in pretty clean houses and don't have...

  8. Stories from the Edge (of sanity)

    TonyafutureRN replied to Mushu's topic in Emergency

    Oh ok. That makes sense. Thanks.

  9. Stories from the Edge (of sanity)

    TonyafutureRN replied to Mushu's topic in Emergency

    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

  11. Are there any exercises I can do to help?

    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...

  12. Are there any exercises I can do to help?

    TonyafutureRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Since I'm back at school this term I haven't been working much. I had a home health patient today that was a paraplegic and I am really feeling it now. I was wondering if there are exercises you can...

  13. Are there any exercises I can do to help?

    TonyafutureRN replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    OOPS. This is posted in the wrong forum, I was reading a post in that forum and clicked the new post button without thinking. How can I fix it?

  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...

  16. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They never said anything about sepsis when they sent us home. The dr said the baby was nursing well, eliminating well, keeping up temp and glucose, and breathing well so they had no reason to keep...

  17. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    True, most babies do have permanent problems, but not all. I know a lady who had a 23 1/2 week baby and her little girl has no long term problems. When my daughter was born at 33 weeks they told me to...

    TonyafutureRN replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

    I would be a writer.And a model. And an artist. (hey I'm dreaming right? ; )

  20. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    TonyafutureRN replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    You guys have had me cracking up with these! I especially like the "do not invite all possible baby daddies to the delivery room". It kind of reminded me of a cousin of mine who came to Christmas Eve...

  21. I'm beginning to think I'm "IV challaged"....eek

    TonyafutureRN replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    That post reminded me of when I was a phlebotomist. Most days I got everyone (and we had around 50-60 patients a day to draw from), but I would have days when I'd have a hard stick almost from the...

  22. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, that is an amazing story. I remember reading another story a while back about a baby that survived after being born before babies were considered viable ( I think it said 4 1/2 months after...

  23. Breastfeeding and BCP Question

    TonyafutureRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi everyone. I am breastfeeding my baby who will be 1 year old on Wednesday. I had been taking the minipill but with not breastfeeding as much anymore and also fear of getting pregnant during nursing...

  24. Breastfeeding and BCP Question

    TonyafutureRN replied to TonyafutureRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you all. Your advice has been incredibly helpful. As far as Depo, I will never have another one of those shots as it caused me to gain a LOT of weight the first 2 months after I took it. And...

    TonyafutureRN replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! My first daughter was 7lbs 3 oz at birth and over 20 lbs at 9 months. Good old mama's milk LOL.
