  1. Age when you had your first child?

    TweetiePieRN replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For us, most definitely. Like I previously mentioned, I got all my schooling done and got the RN license before I pregnant. This enabled me to buy a home, buy a newer, safer family car...and be able...

  2. I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

    TweetiePieRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a child and totally agree with what you say here!!! This is exactly what I am doing...I work 3 days a week with 4 off. Daddy takes care of the baby when I go to work since I work pms and he...

  3. I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

    TweetiePieRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get asked who is watching the baby and I have never thought of it in a negative light. I always assumed it was because so many of my coworkers have children and they are just wondering how I am...

  4. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    TweetiePieRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Where in Cali are you? Up here they are phasing out the LVNs thru out our entire hospital system (it's a big system too). I think its ridiculous!! We need more nurses period! I think the college I...

  5. How do you cope with the death of a patient?

    TweetiePieRN replied to jhawkgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I work in oncology so we do see a lot of patient deaths. It is tough at times because a lot of them are in and out of the hospital and we get to know them and their families very well. I am sad when...

  7. Age when you had your first child?

    TweetiePieRN replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was 26 when I had my son. I think it was the best age for me because I got my career established, have been married for a few years, had plenty of money in the bank to carry me on the 6 months of...

  8. homeless pt's?

    TweetiePieRN replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    I see your point. I do tend to somewhat agree on this. Survival of the fittest. I am not saying that people are worthless if they are weak in body or mind...but not everyone is meant to be on this...

  9. Faith Hill makes fun of nurses!

    TweetiePieRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't see the show the OP was referring to, but reading what Faith Hill said here...doesn't upset me. It really does depend on the tone of voice though. It's difficult to convey tone of voice to...

  11. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    TweetiePieRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I had c/s and it was the same situation! I actually had to come here to allnurses to find out what kind of aftercare I needed. I had my baby 4th of July weekend so my doc was not avail to talk to...

  12. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    TweetiePieRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I have never had a prob with nurse or docs as my patients. But, I have had some trouble from pts (or pt's family) who work in the medical field (vet tech, CNA). I remember I was taking care of the...

  13. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    TweetiePieRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    OMG about your hospital stay!! Poor thing! Also, how ridiculous that they were mischarting for you!! That is scary! Is it easy to obtain one's own medical records? When I was in the hospital for the...

    TweetiePieRN replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I realize that not ALL babies get the anesthesia...that is why I didn't include the word "all" in my post. I was aware of this when choosing my child's pediatrician. I chose the pediatrician for many...

  15. When circ's go bad...

    TweetiePieRN replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good morning. I am not sure how they do them over there in Finland, but over here there is anesthesia for the baby. My son had a block, and he slept thru the entire procedure (my mom was in the room...

  16. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    TweetiePieRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LVNs/LPNs are absolutely real nurses!! Unfortunately my hospital is phasing out using LVNs. It really upsets me, because they are part of our team model of nursing and are very valuable to patient...

  17. What did I suction out of my patient?

    TweetiePieRN replied to mandana's topic in General Nursing

    The other day another nurse's patient was "choking", but still able to make small coughing noises. Large amounts of orange stringy mucus-like stuff starting slowing falling out of her mouth. It looked...

  18. Do I need a Year of med/surg before going into oncology

    TweetiePieRN replied to gn04's topic in Oncology

    I work on the Onc floor and started here after I got my nursing license June 2004. We get med, surg, tele, and onc pts. It's a great variety to be exposed to. So, in my experience I am getting the...

    TweetiePieRN replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why are you focusing so much on what I find disgusting? Please get over it already. I am not concerned about offending someone because I say "I think something is disgusting". I did not post the bit...

    TweetiePieRN replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn
