  1. Wanting to be seen as an adult!!

    crankyasanoldma replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    We've got a nurse on our unit that talks like that also- and she's young! People have told her in different ways that they don't care for it (although I don't think anyone has told her flat out to...

  2. religion and nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to alikat70's topic in General Nursing

    Basically, evolution happens to Populations over Time. Do you think if we build a permanant colony on the moon or Mars and have a group of say, 10,000 people man it for 10,000 years, that those people...

  3. religion and nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to alikat70's topic in General Nursing

    "How can anyone look at the natural world and all of it's inter-related complexities, and not believe that there is a God? " I think the universe was naturally created. How? I don't know, exactly....

  4. religion and nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to alikat70's topic in General Nursing

  6. Premie vs. "Miscarriage"

    crankyasanoldma replied to acuteobrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may not be able to do so. My boy was 23.5 weeks and when I asked for a DNR about 12-24 hours prior to delivery, my room was quickly filled with Dr's, Lawyers and Indian Chiefs. I was told that...

  7. Families (May Be Offensive)

    I agree with the others- I would have called a code grey (or whatever) first. The super would arrive with the security officers and see the jerk in action. Hope things are

  8. any nurses out there who LOVE their jobs?

    crankyasanoldma replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    All my years of nursing have been in various areas of women's health. I've been in the clinic, a fertility clinic, and the hospital. I work in a specialty women's hospital now. I cover antepartum,...

  9. Divorce & Nursing

    crankyasanoldma replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

    I've been out of school for a long time, but I recall noting in school how many women were either in the process of a divorce or planning a divorce for after graduation. I had the idea nursing school...

  10. The tortoise or the hare? How do your docs rate?

    crankyasanoldma replied to SouthernERNurse's topic in Emergency

    I used to work for a tortoise. I'm a hare. Nothing I could do would improve the situation. One day a patient said "Doc, I've been here for 4 hours!" The Doc said "Honey, I've been here all day!".

  13. Does anyone else take Vitamin C?

    crankyasanoldma replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I don't take Vit C or any supplements, and I rarely get sick. Vit C (and other vitamin) megadoses were first recommended by Dr Linus Pauling. He wrote two books about it many years ago in the 50' and...

  14. infertility

    crankyasanoldma replied to HondaHaterBaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    crankyasanoldma replied to Geeg's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That truly IS a sad story, but I don't see any fault on the part of the hospital here. The article says they have a family members only rule, ID badges required, cameras, and 2 security officers....

  21. chelation therapy

    crankyasanoldma replied to tonchitoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to argue about it either but it is disingenuous to suggest Doctors are 'only in it for the money' and the chelation folks

    crankyasanoldma replied to memonurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I worked very briefly at a facility that used that same method. Personally, I feel it's a sign of bad management. "We've always done it that way" is a poor excuse, too. I don't know of any facility...
