  1. Nurses and marriage

    PostOpPrincess replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to dchen's topic in General Nursing

    We have them. We use them. There is a HUGE and I mean a HUGE learning curve with some physicians, and then there are the "artiste" physicians that take to it like fish in water. I know of one GYNE...

    PostOpPrincess replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Although I understand where you are coming from, I am in a place in my life where my dog can call himself a nurse and it wouldn't bother me. I worry about things that will affect my family and my...

  8. Why do doctors office pay nurses pennies to work for them?

    PostOpPrincess replied to danursern's topic in General Nursing

    The benefits that come from working in an office outweighs the $$. No after hours, no weekends (most). That would be a place for me to work when I am a grandma. Otherwise, I would be bored to...

  10. not looking "put together"

    PostOpPrincess replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that looking nice, clean and professional--yes, pretty--let's face it--is more of a positive than negative. I may get scalded for this but the ones who are not as "put together" seem to...

  11. How does a new grad become a CCRN?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Lululi's topic in General Nursing

  12. I am NOT your housemaid.

    PostOpPrincess replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not understand. If you are NOT her housemaid, why didn't you tell her, "NO." Threats or not, if you felt this was wrong, you should've spoken

  14. doing ourselves a disservice

    PostOpPrincess replied to Altra's topic in General Nursing

    Some of us have ADD and get easily distracted. I am one of them--not an excuse...just the way it is.

    PostOpPrincess replied to Hooligan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bingo on the lawyer thing. THAT'S why people don't like my bluntness, but extremely honest POV. Love that quote! I meant to add--my babies came first--it's only now that I am back in school for...

    PostOpPrincess replied to JemJ's topic in General Nursing

  21. Foleys and tampons?

    PostOpPrincess replied to JemJ's topic in General Nursing

    Foleys are NOT meant for comfort. On the contrary, we go out of our way to avoid them as much as possible because of their potential for infection. Foleys are meant to measure urine output, relieve...

  22. Foleys and tampons?

    PostOpPrincess replied to JemJ's topic in General Nursing

  23. Foleys and tampons?

    PostOpPrincess replied to JemJ's topic in General Nursing

    A tampon is for comfort. But off topic, I'd like to know why the patient isn't ambulatory? I've done care on patients before with perineal surgeries and I & Ds, with packing and SEVERE pain. I...
