Ditto. Bush/Cheney!

No I wouldn't

I completely agree with you, Mary Rose. In my town the nursing home is under investigation. Seems two CNA's was tired of dealing with their patient, took him to the bathroom, turned the light off on him and left him to fend for himself. After two hours the poor man tried to get up and fell and broke his hip and died. There have also been other countless numbers of incidents of the residents breaking their hips because of lack of care from the CNA's. Don't get me wrong, there are great nurses and CNA's everywhere you look but the one's who purposely ignore their patients so they can go to the "smoke room" should be fired and replaced by someone who will take their job seriously.

No, I would never assist in an abortion.

Yeah, actually she was tall. Her records said she was almost 5'10.

Thanks for the replies. Also the girl was having a very large baby, perinial massage was not helping, the doctor very strongly pressed the issue of a spinal so she decided to take it.

Hi everybody, A few months ago this girl came in saying she was in labor. I put her in her room and asked her what her pain level was. She told me a three to four. When I checked her to see how many centiments dialated she was she was eight! I couldn't believe it. She didn't even have a spinal until she was 9.5 cm dialated. She said she had been very physically active during her pregnancy and labor barely hurt at all. Now I know excercise helps during labor but is this the norm or did she just have a very high pain tolerance? Can keeping physically fit really take the edge off the pain that much?

So sorry about your daughter, but I'm sure with a caring mom like you she'll make it through this ordeal.

I would definitely put off having children for awhile. One of my close friends got pregnant during nursing school and had to quit because she had such a bad case of morning sickness. I would hate to see all your hard work go down hill.

I've had two of my patients die on me and I've only worked as a nurse for six months. It was a really depressing time for me.

No way, huh uh, wouldn't even think of it!

Starting IV's was the hardest skill I had to learn.
