  1. I don't think I understand pain management.

    TweetiePieRN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is how I manage pain. I look at the PRNs then I go into the pt room and ask about the pain level. I then will tell them all the meds they are allowed to have...I give them a choice as to which to...

  2. I don't think I understand pain management.

    TweetiePieRN replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there. I work oncology and pain management is a huge part of my job. In your 1st scenario. I do not agree with the nurse. She should have called the dr to get a better order. I have never heard of...

  3. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Same scenario here! I even posted on Allnurses for help and one woman in particular was just reaming me at every turn. Nothing I did was right and she was a so-called expert lac consultant. I just...

  4. Meds you hate to give....

    TweetiePieRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Some things are not compatible with it. Different chemical rxns can occur!! That's why it's a good idea to call the pharmacist if you are not sure of the compatibilities and consult a good IV med...

  6. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did note that. Wondering where she got her stats. In lecture, our instructors would usually share their source of statistics...thought maybe your instructor did

  7. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    On my floor (acute oncology/medical with some tele beds) we have a scheduled 30 min break. The 15 mins are up to our own selves to get someone to cover. The nurse next to me doesn't have the time to...

  8. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Its not always about affordability in money terms. It's not just the time to pump, but add the 30 mins of time to actually feed the baby too. It is VERY exhausting. Then you have to wash and sterilize...

  9. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That would be a great idea. Unfortunately I am a great actress and no one would have ever picked me as one to have ppd. I am the happiest outgoing person you could meet. I, to this day, am shocked...

  10. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The old timers living into their 90s were not all breastfed. They used to use condensed milk as formula! I'm sure you can agree that the formula that exists today is way more acceptable than the older...

  11. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds as if I wrote this LOL! Same thing over here. I honestly did try everything I could. Heck, I even did a huge bf project in nursing school, went to a lactation class, etc. For those of you...

  12. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok, well I have a bachelors degree and needed a c/s and was not able to breastfeed. Explain that one. Where did you get your statistics on this, because I have never heard this one? I made an educated...

  13. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe you need to go back and read your original post...it did come off as very abrasive and judgmental

  14. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read alot of your posts and agree once again with another!! You are right

  15. ? About not breastfeeding

    TweetiePieRN replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for this post! I only wish you would have been my nurse when I had my baby! I had my 1st baby in July of this year. I had every intention of breastfeeding, but my son would not latch on and...

  17. Why a C-Section?

    TweetiePieRN replied to edj02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Believe it or not...I was not offended :) I also had a lackadaisical tone of voice in my head when writing it! Your post unfortunately was the last straw (not in a mean or bad way) simply because it...

  18. HIPAA Scenario???

    TweetiePieRN replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't believe it either! I felt like I was in the twilight zone when the other nurses were like "you should have just told her what she wanted to know". I explained to them that HIPAA is a law. I...

  19. HIPAA Scenario???

    TweetiePieRN replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanx Suzanne!! I did not give out ANY info. Since it was 11pm and the pt was sleeping, I could not even get an ok from him to talk to her. Naturally, the daughter got mad at me and I had to sound...

  20. Why a C-Section?

    TweetiePieRN replied to edj02's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Generalizations about "today's moms"...is this coming from your observations from your daughter in law, the media, from where? It is very hard now days with mom usually working outside the home and...

  23. Nursing Student Unlawfully Removed from School

    TweetiePieRN replied to RobInAlabama's topic in General Nursing

    My original post: Does the NCLEX give extra time? I honestly don't know this answer...anybody? I always wondered why, because of a disability, you would get extra time on a test. Here is why I wonder:...

    TweetiePieRN replied to Bipley's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work OB, but I was one of 10 nurses on my unit to have a baby this year (Apologies to the staffing dept!!:rotfl: ). 9 of those were male babies and 8 out of the 9 were circumcised. The one...

  25. Nursing Student Unlawfully Removed from School

    TweetiePieRN replied to RobInAlabama's topic in General Nursing

    At my nursing program we did have a dress code and if it was not followed to a "T" we would get a verbal warning, a couple of written and then dismissal from the program. We were allowed to have long...
