  1. Ok, need to ask this question about "gifts"

    Sis123 replied to Roy Fokker's topic in General Nursing

    I have given thank you notes and occasionally a small gift to a teacher but only AFTER the grades are done and sent out. That way, the teacher gets a proper thank you, and it doesn't look like...

  2. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    Sis123 replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    It may be a cultural thing. I know that in India, women in their menses are not to enter temples or holy places because they would defile the temple, the same as wearing shoes inside would also...

  3. Is your hospital DIRTY ??? Does housekeeping clean the empty room and bath in

    Sis123 replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Both the bathroom floor and the shower floor. Both were ceramic tile, and the grout was totally disgusting!

  4. Are small jokes accepted?

    Sis123 replied to brazuca's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient is in pain, s/he might not appreciate humor. If they've had an abdominal surgery, and they do appreciate humor, laughter hurts the tummy quite a bit. Just be wise and be professional...

  5. My patient fired me!

    Sis123 replied to InfoNurse1595's topic in General Nursing

    People are giving you good advice. Your patient was post op? I am guessing she felt very very uncomfortable, and taking out on you was just her way of coping. Some people do that sometimes. Some...

  6. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    Sis123 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    Urology. Nuff

  7. any advice

    Sis123 replied to nursingyoursoul's topic in General Nursing

    I bet that person who suggested that you get hearing aids has no idea about the background noise being amplified.... I imagine if you explained about this, and that's why you don't like them, not it...

  8. The most emotional nurse-patient moment that you've had or heard about

    Sis123 replied to browsing's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, these are all tear-jerkers.... ::

  9. a woman has the third triplet years later

    Sis123 replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone else make a special note of this: "Beasley developed an allergic reaction to the drug Lupron, which is commonly given to fertility patients to control their ovulation cycles. She went into...

  10. About to give up on being a nurse

    Sis123 replied to Lorel's topic in General Nursing

    Why not call one (or several) of these debt relief companies? They can lower (or reduce to zero) interest rates, and/or lower the amount to be paid back. Perhaps you could do this, and your lower...

  11. Master Cleanse?

    Sis123 replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    Go-Lightly should do the trick pretty well. :chair: :chair: Actually, I do some alternative health things myself, but if you want to get really "clean as a whistle", do the go-lightly. It tastes...

  12. Holding up the legs during delivery

    Sis123 replied to bfusco's topic in Ob/Gyn

    cheerfuldoer.... you are quite funny! :) :) :) yes I think that the stirrups are gone now. We need a new invention to hold the legs

  13. Too much pain and suffering to get screwed this close to getting my RN pin

    Sis123 replied to rrw365's topic in General Nursing

    See an attorney specializing in administrative law. This just seems like weeding out, and really, weeding out should not be happening the 2nd or 3rd to the last day of your whole entire program....

  14. Infertility Evaluation Advice

    Sis123 replied to ConkyTonker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not saying that there are hormonal problems, but a trip to a RE would be able to rule this out faster than wasting precious months trying to figure out the problem. At this age, you need to work...

  15. doctor advise

    Sis123 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Time spent selecting the best surgeon you can find is never wasted. It is your face, and you should have the best, right? If I were you, I'd take your current surgeon's advice, but also do thorough...

  16. Infertility Evaluation Advice

    Sis123 replied to ConkyTonker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I sympathise with you. I would advise you to get to a reproductive endocrinologist asap. You may have something odd going on with your hormone levels that is not sustaining your pregnancies. A R.E....

  17. Summer quarter too short for Anatomy class?

    Sis123 replied to Sis123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I decided to take Anatomy Fall quarter. Will be taking 2 other pre reqs, speech (interpersonal communications) and sociology. I don't think it'll be any problem at all to get those out of the...

  18. Summer quarter too short for Anatomy class?

    Sis123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I was over at school today and was interviewing anatomy instructors for summer quarter. Now, summer quarter at my community college is about 2.5 weeks shorter than a regular quarter, and the...

  19. Deciding whether to stay in nursing

    Sis123 replied to hartmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmmm. Wondering if this age discrimination will affect me, or if this is more a way to get rid of older nurses who are at the top of their pay scales..... (I'll be nearing 50 when I finish nursing...

  20. My english is horrible !!!

    Sis123 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Sumatra for your most helpful post. I hope that the OP will take what you, as a professional, have written. Exposure and use of the language goes a long way to help people absorb the feel...

  21. My english is horrible !!!

    Sis123 replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    How to improve? By *using* english all the time. When in college I had a roommate for a year, she was a young korean girl, very nice girl. She had come here to attend college, but most of the time...

  22. WHY are nurses so catty??

    Sis123 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just brainstorming here: I think the causes are many-fold, but three that I can think of right off the top of my head are: 1. Nursing is a very demanding, detail oriented field. You have to be on...

  23. Menstrual Migraines

    Sis123 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Will the Mirena keep your estrogen levels from falling so low as to start a migraine? If so, it's worth a try. Migraines are hell, and imitrex makes me feel just "wrung out" and very tired. You...

  24. Summer quarter too short for Anatomy class?

    Sis123 replied to Sis123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I might try Anatomy for summer if I had no other obligations. I have been thinking about this overnight, and one thing that one of the teachers said has stuck in my brain.... and that's this:...

  25. Having a strong stomach

    Sis123 replied to nev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sort of off topic, If I get surprised and suddenly look at someone's injury, I get a pain *in the same spot*! Doesn't happen all the time, but it happens more often than I'd like. I am a very...
