    ayndim replied to abundantjoy07's topic in General Nursing

    i am going to agree with michelle. drs have more medical knowledge. nurses probably have more people skills though. at least from my standpoint as a patient. and i think nurses are very...

  2. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    ayndim replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    If someone refers to them self as a nurse in a medical facility, then just what is the point. Ummm maybe to have the person think they are a RN or LPN. What other point would there be. Everyone...

  3. Guess What?!!!

    ayndim replied to Baby Catcher's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Awesome. Congrats. I look forward to hearing about it. I am so envious. Can't wait for it to be me.

  4. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    ayndim replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Your not just a lpn you are a NURSE! And no I am not an lpn student but a preRN one. LPN's may not be the same as RN's but they are both nurses (and in my state two semesters between the two in...

  5. Ethical dilemma-caring for a criminal. what would you do?

    ayndim replied to iamlovingit's topic in General Nursing

    I could provide nursing for a criminal. So if another nurse couldn't then I would switch with her. What I can't do is assist during an abortion or circ. Hopefully, another nurse would be able to...

  6. What do you think about the use of Cytotec?

    ayndim replied to CardioTrans's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ayndim replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

  8. Do your OBs do circs everyday?

    ayndim replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's the beauty of being grown up and opinionated. We can debate all we want as long as we aren't rude to anyone. It is nice to hear others opinions or their counter to yours. Doesn't mean anyone...

  9. Do your OBs do circs everyday?

    ayndim replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep that was me. I also post on Ask the Midwife, September Playgroup and The Birth Guru until Henci moved away. If I get too many user names I can't remember them so I tend to use the same

  10. Do your OBs do circs everyday?

    ayndim replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to say that I would rather see a grown man in more pain than a newborn in any pain. And why would it be less painful for a newborn? Because they can't tell you how much it hurts? And the...

  11. Future Employer wants to run a credit check?!?

    ayndim replied to hospicenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Gosh I must be naive. I didn't even think of a nurse (or other person with access to controlled substances) stealing meds to sell and pay for debts/habit. So I guess they might want to look at the...

  12. Future Employer wants to run a credit check?!?

    ayndim replied to hospicenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    They aren't looking to see if your credit is perfect (if they are indeed looking at the credit portion) but to see if you have a need to steal. If everything is taken care of in bankruptcy then it...

  13. Future Employer wants to run a credit check?!?

    ayndim replied to hospicenurse's topic in Nursing Career

    The credit checks for employment are not looking for the same thing a lender is. Basically, credit checks also show criminal history when they are employment cc (as do the ones apt complexes run)....

  14. What do you think about the use of Cytotec?

    ayndim replied to CardioTrans's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What about control (besides brethine which as PTL mom I know has some shaky side effects -- literally) after insertion. What is the protocol. Let no one say I don't practice evidence based care....

  15. Least favorite subject?

    ayndim replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    Stats was okay (ended with a B+), loved Chemistry but I hate A&P. Makes you wonder if I am choosing the right

  18. Immunizations in Phoenix/Tempe?- where can I go for cheap?

    ayndim replied to taapple's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am pretty sure that ASU gives them. I'm not sure about the price. Many cc's do also. Here is a link from Maricopa CCs on where to get immunizations....

  19. Looking for a Nurse Mid-Wife in Mississippi

    ayndim replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You can do a search at the following address http://www.midwife.org/find/ As for anesthesia, only an MDA or CRNA can do it. But there are techniques that can be used to ease the pain/help cope with...

  20. Update: Fight for RNs Right to Overtime Pay

    ayndim replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The OT laws have not changed that much. If employers wanted to they could have always made nurses exempt. But let's say the worst happens. Your employer changes you to exempt. Then wants you to do...

  21. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    ayndim replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    It is always nice when someone takes responsibility. I find that so many people out there say well s/he is just a kid. The parents are teaching their child a great lesson. Payment doesn't always...

  22. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    ayndim replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Our ped sends facial (probably head wounds too) needing stitches to the ER anyway. So you probably would have ended up with two bills. The other kids mom needs to pay for part of the

  23. When you call in sick...

    ayndim replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    You know what scares me the most about RN's being pressured to work while sick. The patients. They aren't in the hospital for a little vacation. They are sick and many have compromised immune...

  24. new OT laws and how will affect nurses

    ayndim replied to nontrad1964's topic in General Nursing

    Let me ask all of you this. If a hospital did not pay you time and a half for overtime, how long do you think it would keep its nurses? I know I wouldn't work somewhere if they didn't pay my ot at...
