Oh Lana, I'm so sorry that this has happened!!! I haven't been here too much because of computer problems so I'm reading this today for the first time. Please know I'm definitely praying for you, and...
Great job!! That's got to be a wonderful feeling of making it through when you felt the chips were down. Now go out and enjoy the rest of this Christmas season!
For the hospital: You may want to bring a baby scrap book if you have one. Many times I've suggested this as the nurses I've worked with have been glad to do a set of footprints in a baby scrap book....
I have heard of physicians doing this either without informing the patient properly, or giving it another name entirely. Sometimes the doctor just does it, saying in the middle, "Oh, I'm going to do a...
The undergarments are worn by those from the Latter Day Saints, aka, those of the Mormon faith. If you patient is Mormon, s/he may be wearing such undergarments. Sorry, I don't know much about the...
Wow, I don't know too many docs around here that would consider a vag twin delivery, much less under the circumstances you mentioned. I know that I'm playing armchair OB here, but I think that it...
Wow, it sounds like the stomach virus is really going around in LTC's. My husband's grandmother is in an LTC, her roommate has had the stomach virus, my husband's grandma has had it, as well as...
I was a candy striper many many moons ago at Scripps La Jolla. It was an awesome experience. I handed out water to patients, answered call lights, put charts together, delivered flowers once they got...
Lana beat me to it, but there is also Cancer Treatment Centers of America (which is in a good location in south Tulsa) as well as OHO, Orthopedic Hospital of Oklahoma which, if it's still there, is...
I went to DreamMaker's School For HealthCare Aides. It was very intensive, it lasted 2 weeks (one week in the classroom/labs) and the second was doing clinical at one of three area hospitals. It's...

Yes, we do VBACs but only under certain conditions. We have in-house anesthesia and a full-time resident in-house. Not that they end up as being VBAC, but they do REALLY
I went to DreamMakers School for Health Care Aids. I really enjoyed it and they really knew what they were doing. It was a full day two week course. One week in the classroom/laboratory and one week...
Since I've posted, I see they've added some new spiffy URL's to the hospitals. I would also like to add that Hillcrest is tobacco-free as well, starting, last week. I would like to add that I work as...
blaaveispiken, welcome to the Oklahoma Nursing forum. Top hospitals in Tulsa: St. John and St. Francis are two of the best hospitals around. Both are in very nice areas and have many specialties...
I'm glad that your pt is safe. My husband's gma is in an Alzheimer's Care Center. They have one door that the residents trying to make a break tend to congregate. When someone comes in, the residents...
I'm sorry, my mistake... I do remember it being a nurse's aide, and not custodial staff. What is very sad is that the victim's mother is now raising the child, who has some very, very serious...
I have heard of this happening before. The one that I'm thinking of happened at a Chicago area nursing home. I believe that one of the custodial staff raped a woman who had severe CP and was mentally...
