  1. Sesame Street Breastfeeding: Moms Push To Bring Nursing Back To TV Show

    nohika replied to lrobinson5's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think part of it is that people assume that if kids aren't shown breastfeeding, that they become scarred for life because of it. I think kids probably learn more about breastfeeding and its...

  2. From Mom Baby to NICU??

    nohika replied to stephkneew's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Worst case maybe keep a PRN job in M/B in case you want to go

  3. I can't understand what you're saying!

    nohika replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you guys are a bunch of old fogies...I'm 21 and type out everything properly in my texts and abhor text speech because I can't understand it very well. Or maybe I'm just a young

  4. Taking time off from career- help

    nohika replied to stephljudy's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe look for a PRN job in the hospitals that you can work like once or twice a month,

  5. MD vs NP in the picu setting

    nohika replied to dyslexicandetermined's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    To be honest, if I was young and had the choice, I'd go for MD. To become an NP, it takes about 4 years of nursing school, another couple years MINIMUM to gain experience (and that's solely providing...

  6. Anyone find CRNA School EASIER than made out to be?

    nohika replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know it's off-topic, but I was going to comment that many med students graduate with 200k+ in debt, go into residency, and still are able to comfortably pay off their loans. It may suck, but it's...

  7. Hey! New here and a couple of questions.

    nohika replied to KelsieG's topic in General Nursing

    Generally as far as I know, the same specialties in the hospital are generally paid the same. Least they are in the hospital I volunteer

  8. do you make sure your pts

    nohika replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is stereotypical and all but my first thought seeing "severe dementia" is that is it possible that she was aggressive to her caregivers or simply refused care? I know it's all "tragic and...

  9. How sad is the NICU? Is there a personality type best suited to it?

    nohika replied to chunkiesundae's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Unfortunately, most of the Moms don't want help. Nor are most of them willing to get clean. The ones that do get clean tend to relapse. I don't work in a NICU, but I do visitations for bio parents...

  10. Any Parents Working Weekends Only?

    nohika replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno where you guys do visits, but I actually work with an agency/in it that contracts with our arm of DCFS to host visits. Generally, if needed, they can try and lump the visit times together with...

  11. New Nurse Needs Orientation Advice

    nohika replied to Silvergem800's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Normally I'd agree that it's first-job terrors, but TEN PATIENTS? Holy hell. That is a ridiculous

  12. Question re: patient handoff/shift change

    nohika replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    Don't take this wrong, but I think shame on you. :) She came and asked about it because she didn't think it was right. Look into some social psych and personality theories on conforming and why people...

  13. Curious, re nursing and weight loss

    nohika replied to Bonnie86's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, depending on the job, you may not be able to take much of a lunch break or generally a break at all. Even if you do get to eat it might be while

  14. Kicked out of nursing school for leaving a bed in the high position...

    nohika replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    Yet she hasn't. So I don't see your point...she's obviously been a RN for a decent amount of time and so what if she drinks some? What if she's in recovery? Who cares. It's not really your business....

  15. Working with student nurses

    nohika replied to LisaRN1105's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think the OP deserves the antagonism she got (I'm guessing mostly from nursing students). She wasn't saying she hates them all or that they ALL have that attitude. Just that she's...

  16. Be a nurse or not?! HELP ME PLEASE!

    nohika replied to ENT RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i think pretty much everything you hate/dislike about your current job will be amplified in nursing. beyond the needle stick, this looks like an easy/normal shift in the er if you ask me. maybe a mild...

  17. need advice from LD/OB nurses

    nohika replied to sweetTnurse2b's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We have CNAs in the L&D I volunteer at. Not many (one per shift), but they do

  18. Question RE posts by student nurses

    nohika replied to JennyNurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    I think when it comes to asking questions there's a big difference between "here's the question give me the answer" and "here's the question, here's the rationale I've came up with but I'm still stuck...

  19. A vet tech as a nurse ?

    nohika replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked with a lot of vet techs and vets and most of them dread the human med pet parents because a looooot of them try to medicate the animal themselves or try to tell the vet what /they/ think...

  20. New grad asked to resign during orientation need advice

    nohika replied to Roxy518's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, this may have been initially where you stepped wrong. Generally you don't complain to your employer. It's different, yes, but next time, use it as a learning opportunity. Complaining...

  21. Obese children...my rant

    nohika replied to Gently.me's topic in Pediatric

    I cringe when I read this - I was skinny until my Dad left and sank into a depression and have gained the weight and not lost it. I was active as a child and stopped due to depression. My family has...

  22. Nursing to Osteopathy?

    nohika replied to adamsli88's topic in General Nursing

    To be a DO is to be the equivalent of an MD and a doctor - you know that, right? OMM is just one of the few things that is taught and is often disregarded and not practiced by most of the DOs out...

  23. How do you deal with an ignorant co-worker? Humble me with your advice, nurses!

    nohika replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I really could have a field day analyzing your post with all the theories I've learned in class, but I have homework to do. Also...I would be tripping over my feet to thank someone telling me how to...

  24. Hospital orientation for CNA/Support staff

    nohika replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, there will be the CNAs and the nurses that no one ever wants to work with. So as nice as that sounds, I don't think it's totally

  25. Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    nohika replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it's less that they're unwilling, but that more and more medical students are entering residencies with over 150k in loans. I've seen several cases of 250k or even 300k. With that much debt,...
