  2. An OB's Birth Plan

    BigBub1000 replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Should a C Section baby have the eye Rx? Should an NSVD baby whose mom is free of infection have it? What did we do before Vit K? I've never worked OB but I think there's a little too much "medicine"...

  3. IM/Rhogam Injection Gone Wrong?

    BigBub1000 replied to cougSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not sure you should put such specific information on here. But it sounds like the shot was ok. Next time, you have to aspirate. On IM's, you have to make sure you're not in a blood vessel. Your...

  4. experience nurses please help me!!

    BigBub1000 replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

    I don't put much stock in these tests. You must get to know yourself and decide what type of work to undertake. Nursing requires intelligence, physical strength, dexterity with your hands, and a...

  5. Is it possible to document too much?

  6. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    BigBub1000 replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    So are you working for free? Who reprimanded you? You need to be courageous, MW. I know it's hard, but no one can do this for

  7. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    BigBub1000 replied to KaseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to tell people that you will get to their requests when you are able but that you have a patient who is deteriorating and must take care of him or her first. Be apologetic but firm. Say it...

  8. Are nurses behind in their knowledge?

    BigBub1000 replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    Certainly some patients can take on the responsibility you suggest. But many cannot. They wouldn't know where to begin. Some people are too sick or might be too disabled or might be illiterate...

  9. so eager to report coworkers!

    BigBub1000 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess lack of ecchymosis might be proof of no shots. Do anticoag shots always have to bruise? Maybe some nurses have found a way to give these shots without bruising the patient. Don't know, just...

  10. Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    BigBub1000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't out of line but I think it must be unusual for an NP to do bedside care. When doctors occasionally lend a hand with bedside care, it is appreciated yet somehow

  11. Macho Men in the ED

    BigBub1000 replied to Jerry 75's topic in Emergency

    Phobe comes from phobic, doesn't it? And that means "fear". Fear of homosexuality and homosexuals. I agree that one is not necessarily afraid of these simply if one is heterosexual or is not in favor...

  12. A Sister Never Forgets

    BigBub1000 replied to AmericanChai's topic in General Nursing

    If the parole is still pending, please attend it. And take the prosecutor with you. The sister of Sharon Tate has managed to help keep the Manson clan locked up all these many years and I think it's...

  13. What Freaks You Out?

    BigBub1000 replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What freaked me out was when doctor was asked to give some cough med to a patient who was coughing his brains out all night and no one had bothered to get him an order. Doctor's reply was "He's a...

    BigBub1000 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    no fair calling in extra

  15. Was fired today......

    BigBub1000 replied to TrickieTam's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If a resident wanted his liqs mixed in juice, did you refuse to do so? Glad you got another position but what will you do if a resident there wants his liqs mixed and you disagree with doing that? As...

  16. Is This Discrimination?

    BigBub1000 replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    Promise to leave your service dog, your scooter, your crutches, your other service dog, and your need to pee q2 hours and eat at least q6 hours at home. Promise to wear the glasses on a string...

  17. What Are We? Chopped Liver? Why Aren't We "Officers?"

    BigBub1000 replied to Opera26's topic in Correctional

    do you maybe you want to join the military? i think the best place to get your question answered is where you work, their main personnel office. or check with other states' prison systems. there is...

  18. Medical staff rude to my brother;complicated;advice please

    BigBub1000 replied to burberrylover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wouldn't the specialist get paid for coming to the bedside? Not only would he speak with the family but he would also examine the patient. And that exam is certainly billable.

  19. Sleeping aides at work

    BigBub1000 replied to sasha2lady's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    if you were doing her work, you were complicit. i do understand you got tired of waking her up, but being an enabler was not the solution. was she suspended for a week or what? at least she stopped...

  20. Would You Call Her Back?

    BigBub1000 replied to iluvdetroit's topic in General Nursing

    Call back. Do not let this chance slip away. Good luck. I hope you get the job you want and where you will be happiest. Even if you have to take the one that has the least desirable weekend...

  21. One manager just seems to dislike me . . .

    BigBub1000 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with people who seemed to just hate me but I could never figure out why. I think it was because I had had to enforce some policies with our aides and these aides were friends with the...

  22. Dismissed from Nursing school

    BigBub1000 replied to cristinb4's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with the others. You need to figure out, by talking to the Dean, the top people at your school, exactly what the reasons are for booting you out of the program. The lovenox issue isn't...
