    SunnyPupRN replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

  2. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    SunnyPupRN replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    If your interpretation is right, I agree. It actually didn't even occur to me. I interpreted his question with regard to 'being taken care of' as a follow up to his role as a boyfriend, since he was...

  3. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    SunnyPupRN replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think these responses are being way to hard on the OP. Yes, he's serious, obviously, that's why he asked the question. No, there's nothing wrong with asking if there are women who like being taken...

  4. Has anyone used Melatonin for sleep?

    SunnyPupRN replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I do. It's pretty mild for me. I use 10mg q hs, although my neurons says to take 20mg q hs for migraines. Its already made naturally in the body, so it shouldn't pop any false positives for

  5. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    SunnyPupRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    As an atheist, it would be dishonest and disingenuous of me to pretend to believe or pray. I'm happy to be of support, listen to a pts beliefs without judgment, provide encouragement or peace where...

  7. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    SunnyPupRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It's correct. It's just a different dialect of English. It's a modernized version of Scottish "ye aw," and American Southern English is considered a legitimate dialect of English, including the...

    SunnyPupRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    or ask. I know this is frowned upon by many. It's technically an acceptable form of the word ''ask," when used within a specific dialect, such as some Scottich dialects, African American...

  9. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    SunnyPupRN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    There's an order at work that's been transcribed as "Install 2 gtt each eye blah blah..." It drives me crazy. Install an appliance or a car part. Instill eye

  11. Any Urology/Gyn Nurses Have Thoughts on This?

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a psych/home health/private duty nurse, so I have limited experience with pelvic pain, but I had a weird experience recently. And yes, I know nobody can diagnose, or give advice, etc etc etc...so...

  12. Any Urology/Gyn Nurses Have Thoughts on This?

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I did, and thank you. My insurance company makes me jump through some hoops with the primary, and then lets me decide who to see next.

  13. Any Urology/Gyn Nurses Have Thoughts on This?

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Le sigh. There's always someone who invokes the 'call your doctor' thing, even though I I've already said I did, and I acknowledged the disclaimer that nobody is giving medical advice. See, The poster...

  14. Any Urology/Gyn Nurses Have Thoughts on This?

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thanks, Kitiger! I am sort of suspecting IC, but the specific symptom of pain with flying threw me off. Interesting to know other people have experienced it. Thanks for the

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm quite in shock, fumbling for words, as my fifth grader just had a sleepover with another girl last weekend and I was surprised that she had blocked all her phone calls. When I asked, she hemmed...

  16. Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    SunnyPupRN replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    I'm a psych nurse, mostly. The only (2) times I've ever done chest compressions in a street scenario were seperate incidents, one with a dog that was choking, and one with a dog that was attacked. No...

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in Private Duty

    Wow. I just talked to another nurse from our agency who said she had oriented with a peds patient in the home. Apparently the child has to be constantly monitored because he/she puts stuff in his/her...

  18. Clinical Ques: Post Op Infection

    SunnyPupRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Pt J has an artifical heart valve replacement and is sent home. Within a few days, seems to be doing ok, but takes a turn. Some watery stool, stomach pain. No swelling or redness or fever. Goes to...

  19. Clinical Ques: Post Op Infection

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    How long does it take for c-diff to colonize in the lab? They said they wanted to repeat. BTW, this is not a pt of mine, and I'm not sure if the heart valve surgery was done via minimally invasive...

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to get caught up in semantics, I respectfully I disagree. She can be a perpetrator and a victim at the same time. While you makes calls on what I am unqualified to do, you are making...

  22. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is true. As you and I have both noted, I have been in shock. Now that I have had some time to calm down, I have some clarity and I do see your points and many of the points that others have made....

  23. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I was shaking and just looking for guidance from the police. I remember specifically saying, " It's not that I want the situation criminalized. I just am lost." And the cop said to me, "...

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, the mandated part means that you have to give your name when you report. You cannot be anonymous. And thank you for the

  25. The Line b/t Respecting Wishes of Victim, Privacy, & Reporting

    SunnyPupRN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure. The information was passed down to me second hand, so I did not take a disclosure from the girl herself. That's a good
