    jkaee replied to holly31's topic in General Nursing

  2. what do you do all day?

    jkaee replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    You've got that right! I was just trying to explain to my husband just why I don't get a chance to pee when I work my 12 hr shifts. (That just baffles his mind that there are days that I don't...

  3. The right to refuse.. on what basis??

    jkaee replied to goober's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting replies...this has really made me think... I have deleted many replies that I've typed up because I just can't express my thoughts well. Bottom line is that I don't think the pharmacist...

  4. Happy World Breastfeeding Week!

    jkaee replied to wannabemw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For me, one of the many joys of breastfeeding is looking at my pleasingly plump little 7 month old girl and thinking, "I did that!" I just love all the fat rolls on her legs and arms. And nothing...

  5. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    jkaee replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, maybe we can take a class together, because I "lost it" on a family tonight...and quite frankly, I don't feel bad about it one little bit. I work 12 hr shifts, and for my last 4 hours (3p-7p) I...

    jkaee replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

  7. What kind of experience did you have?

    jkaee replied to jaylynn67's topic in General Nursing

    I went right from high school into nursing school.....and I only worked in the food industry while in high school, so I don't know if I agree with your friend. Working as a CNA is very difficult, and...

  8. BSN vs ADN Education?????

    jkaee replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

    please, please lock it.....PLEASE!! :selfbonk: As others have said....do a search....or better yet, ask lindarn for her opinion in a PM.....I soooo don't want to read this again! Edited to add: I...

  9. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    jkaee replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't agree more! (This from someone who has to sneak into the shower room bathroom at my job to pump....sometimes I work a 16 hour shift and only get to pump twice! NOT GOOD for my ta ta's.......

  10. Don't laugh, but... what if I throw up??

    jkaee replied to Alice b.'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what everyone else has posted.....what usually gets me thru is light mouth breathing and when I have to look at something really nasty (ie: a Stage 4 decub with necrotic tissue and...

  11. Co-sleeping?

    jkaee replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not us!!!! :imbar

  12. Co-sleeping?

    jkaee replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Steph, that was exactly what I was trying to express in another thread. I can't tell you how many times I've been told to "stop being a wimp and let that baby cry it out"....or "when are you going to...

  13. Co-sleeping?

    jkaee replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have found this to be the case in my experience with other moms& kids as well. Of course, this isn't a scientific study, just my personal observations. I have noticed that the moms who let...

  14. whoooopieeee!!!!

    jkaee replied to Cococure's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on your new job and the start of a nursing

  15. This is why I rarely go in for physicals...

    jkaee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everyone, just a rant here. I know this is more for the Break Room, but I just started back working and can't quite pay for a premium membership yet. It's not really a rant, more a pathetic...

  16. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    jkaee replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly, the whole concept of breastfeeding and mothering should be addressed, and the benefits that it brings to baby, rather than the "BF is best and that's that" mentality. NOT that you can't be...

  17. L.P.N. to R.N. is it that much harder?

    jkaee replied to wanna-b-R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you what extra classes there are for an RN degree compared for an LPN, but I do remember from school that LPN's that were in my class did have a *slightly* harder time only because they...

  18. This is why I rarely go in for physicals...

    jkaee replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

    No, I was not irritated that I couldn't find a babysitter. What I was irritated about was that my kids were sitting quietly reading books, and my baby was asleep in her corificeat. I was irritated...

  19. Co-sleeping?

    jkaee replied to amber1142's topic in Ob/Gyn

    (After I woke up this morning with 3 kids in my bed.... :chuckle ) I have always slept with my babies....makes nursing so much easier and lets you get more sleep as well. My 2 year old still sleeps...

  20. Watch Your Language - Breast Isn't Best!

    jkaee replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, so many things to address...... I do agree with Fergus that we can't and shouldn't make bottle feeding moms feel guilty. However, I do think that we need to make a big change in how breastfeeding...

  21. Ever had a family overdramatic with dying patient?

    jkaee replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly what I was thinking, RN4NICU. To the OP, I'd feel uncomfortable,too. I'm not an overly emotional type of person (my best friend's husband is still trying to see me get worked up over...

  22. What do you wear to work when pregnant?

    jkaee replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never bought maternity scrubs....way too expensive for me, considering the short amount of time I'd be wearing them. What I did was went to Target or WalMart and bought a couple of pairs of white...

  23. Baby Powder at your hospital...

    jkaee replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been in a facility that uses/stocks it for several reasons. Lung irritant, may cause perineal irritation/infections, but the greatest reason we don't use it is because it causes a great...

  24. OHHH The Arrogance of Some Doctors!!

    jkaee replied to Katydidit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Gotta agree with Deb, this needs to be reported. Was he talking while he was doing the pap, for pete's sake? I can just picture it, holding the phone with his shoulder while trying the position the...

  25. N E 1 Else having a hard time finding a Hospital LVN position?

    jkaee replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in General Nursing

    In my area (southeast pa), they have pretty much stopped hiring LPN's in hospitals, too. I think the only LPN's that are in the hospitals are the one's that have been there for a long time. Sad, but...
