  1. Guess what happened to me at clinicals today??? Ugggh

    jeepgirl replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    nothing to worry about! goodness, did you take a worry pill today? :-) i've done worse. for instance, I accidentally squired a premade flush all over a patients arm / bed onetime trying to use one of...

    i thought that with bulemia the women were normal

  3. Turning your patients

    jeepgirl replied to redwinggirlie's topic in General Nursing

    most of my kiddos are trying to jump out of the bed,not stay in! however, we do have some that are bedridden. and yes, we do make sure they are turned. like said above, its a good time to do a skin...

  4. Attributes for hiring nurses

    jeepgirl replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Just a quirk... but that is really unfair! Do you mean that you use this as a determinate from two employees with similar attributes such as experience, etc or would you just not hire them for this...

  5. Vacation denied

    jeepgirl replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    this may just be because i only have more seniority than only a few people... but i think that is fair. why should you get spring break off every year? i mean, other people have families too. rotate...

  6. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Bob... I can see what you're saying. I just can't believe that her husband refuses to let her even try to sallow food and water per mouth. That also makes me think it is euthanasia. At least, a soft...

  7. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if she is on state aid. I do know that she got a 1.2 million dollar malpractice settlement brought on by her husband. he alleged that the docs should have known that she had bulemia, and...

  8. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    but you're talking about killing her because of how she is living. that is called euthanasia.... or "mercy killing." and it is illegal in the us. or at least, it was. they just should not have placed...

  9. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    while i don't know that she would have choose this, it happened to her. i think that the whole starving her to death / dehydrating her is what is getting everyone upset. also, her husbands motives are...

  10. Kind of gross...but fever blisters

    jeepgirl replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Carrot Thief! I would see your doc about that. Are you a smoker or chewer? I always thought that recurrent canker sores were a good reason to get screened. Every two weeks is a lot! Thanks!...

  11. Kind of gross...but fever blisters

    jeepgirl replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    There's a difference between Herpes simplex I and II. One is an STD, the other not. However, it is becoming harder to tell which is which due to the fact that people are getting wilder with their...

  12. Kind of gross...but fever blisters

    jeepgirl replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    sunscreen is a must i have found! abreva is such a joke. they advertise it like it is better than its scrips. its just better than campohenique. (sp?)... that otc stuff that burned like the

  13. Kind of gross...but fever blisters

    jeepgirl replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    It is related to stress. When I was small 3-4 years old, I started getting them.Then, they got better. However, every year the week before school started I would get a new fever blister. I've had like...

  14. Questions for Pediatric Nurses

    jeepgirl replied to Erica K's topic in Pediatric

    Salary is the same as the rest of the payscale for the rest of the hospital. Usually, there are no bonuses or anything as it is sort of a hard area to break into. I have my ADN and I work on a general...

  15. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    jeepgirl replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you're buying yourself a boot to the door. I think you should hold off and make a stink after you graduate. Ask an instructor you trust in confidence if you can ensure that you won't be...

  16. Why does everyone recommend med-surg?

    jeepgirl replied to NTPinky's topic in General Nursing

    med surg is hard. but you learn a LOT that you can apply when you go into a specialty area. also, you can beef up on your organization skills, critical thinking, etc. but you can do that in other...

  17. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    i thought in the bible that the woman left her family to "cleave" and become one with her husband? I was looking and it says that it has been offered by various professionals to come and perform...

  18. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Terri and her husband are still legally married, even though he is living with a woman who has had his two kids. he's proposed to her and they are going to get married as soon as she dies. however, if...

  19. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    jeepgirl replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    That is not true. Some people enjoy teaching and are good at it. Don't cut people down like that. So, in response to your above post... that ISN'T the way it

  20. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Okay... so this guy has Removed and stopped her feedings... twice. This will be the third time. Barred the family from seeing her during these periods. Won't allow photographs / video for the family....

  21. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    jeepgirl replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    as to why there are no recent videos/pictures... i think there has been an order barring any videotaping or photographing of her. her parents have brought a motion to the court to try to get them to...

  22. Should nurses have MSNs

    jeepgirl replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    i don't know the exact reason, but i have a haunch. that poster was constantly saying rude comments in multiple threads to get people all wound up. i'm glad the poster was

  23. Should nurses have MSNs

    jeepgirl replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Angie... I can kind of see what you're saying. How often have we had a CNS come into our unit and the nurses scoff at them? Or refused to take our kids to a certain NP? Not that they are...

  24. how young is too youngto graduate nursing school?

    jeepgirl replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    I was 20 when I graduated with my ADN and got my RN license. I'll be 21 when I get my BSN. I don't see a problem? I do find that I have a lot of "mommies" where I work. That can be annoying, but good...

  25. Day shift

    jeepgirl posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Okay! Here's a good question. What do you think... would it give me more time at home if I worked day shift? See, I find that since I have been working nights I am sleeping before the shift, working...
