YOU KNOW THE THING THAT SUCKS YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BRING GOD INTO IT SO IF HE HAS PLANS FOR EVERYONE THAT MEANS THAT PEOPLE CANT HAVE KIDS FOR A REASON. HE HAS PLANS FOR YOU AND IT IS ALSO OUR CHOICE IN WHAT ROAD WE TAKE, LIKE ABORTIONS OR ADOPTING KID...

PEOPLE ARE GONNA DO WHAT THEY WANT, WE CAN BI#TCH ALL WE WANT NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE AND WE WILL BE FIGHTING ABOUT THIS FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. IF YOU ARE A NURSE ITS YOUR JOB TO HELP PEOPLE, YOU ALSO HAVE A CHOICE IN WHAT FIELD YOU CHOOSE TO WO...

I am also an LVN you wil do just fine. Dont worry so much, I know that it is natural. I would be worring about you if you were thinking you already had it nailed. As for your friends it sucks to think that all they want is higher pay. Why would you w...

:rotfl: I love being a nurse

1. Be accountable for your own actions. 2. Be ready to work your butt off without complaining about it, you knew they were 12 hour shifts when you got hired. 3. Ask for help when you need it. 4. Never assume. 5. Do not GOSSIP! WHO CARES WHO DID WHAT ...

I could not agree more. Well said!:rotfl:

I hope that someone can help me with my problem I have been contracting for 3 days now. I am just past finger tipped and my cervix is very soft. My OB told me that if I continue to contract that he was going to induce me. I wanted to try something na...

:stone Please what the hell are you thinking? JUst a couple sandwiches short of a pinic.....

You are right people should learn to take better care of themselves, but would you say that to a teenager or woman that was raped and is now pregnant. I think not... You need to think of both sides not just yours.

Thank you all for all of your help. I had Madeline Elizabeth on March 29 at 2256 my membranes ruptured at 0520 I went to Hoag Hospital and 17 hours and 56 minutes later I was still at 4cm it sucked. I had pit and that sucked too. I earned this first ...

:stone OKAY

Sorry I was not trying to offend anyone, just stating the facts that she was big and scary. Last thing I am is racist. Black women are just a bit more intimidating, especially when she is 6ft and you are 5 1" she weighs in at 200 and you at 125. I ha...

Just a question, are you a jehovah witness, I had a patient tell me that the reason they do not take blood is because it is no longer sacred when it leaves the body is this true?

Oh I dont know, Ive heard worse. So I dont think YeeHaw would be too bad. My husband and I were thinking about wearing our cowboy hats just for the hell of it.:rotfl: Not a cowgirl just like to ride the bull. Come to think of it that would be pretty ...

I agree with you 100%, People forget why they became nurses in the first place, that was to help people. Not to judge and refuse to treat pts because they are fat , ugly, stink or because of decisions made....... Most of our pts are unpleasant but i...

Thanks Ladies I have an appointment on monday, they will try to strip again if I havent had Madeline by then. I really appreciate all the good advice. I will keep you all posted.

Went to the OB today and I am dilated to 2cm. The OB striped my membranes today, how long do you think that it will take to go into labor, and how active should I be?

:rotfl: Well said, Well said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As nurses there are alot of things that must be done in order to care for the patient. We choose the life of being a nurse and therefore must perform procedures that we do not agree with, but i...

Hello KMSRN, I excuse the fact that you didn't understand the point I was trying to get across. The point I wanted to reach especially you with was the number of kids that represent sad statistics due to abuse and neglect is outstanding. Not all unwa...

I think the thing that we are all forgetting here is that as nurses we have a job to do. When we get to work we leave our prejudices at the door. Just like a drug seeker in the ER, who are we to tell them no you cant have this pain med go home. Are w...

Talk about wanting to just tell someone to get the hell out. People forget that they will soon be old like that to and hopefully they will not get sick all the time. I love the ED so much but I really hate some people. I understand that people mare n...

Sorry about the caps I talk loud anyways. We kinda had no choice she ran into the bathroom and locked the door before we could help it. Believe me there was no stopping this big woman if we could help oit anyways. She was alot bigger than some of the...
