This is what I don't like about semi-private rooms. I believe that their time is limited because I see them as a HIPAA violation. The doctor comes in and talks to them about their case and might...

Fiona, you seem to be very knowledgable on this. Is there a difference between a 'vet tech' and an 'RN for animals', each clinic having both such positions? Just curious, this is interesting and I've...
From what I understand how CAT testing works is that they do not fluctuate between hard and easy. They first start out with a question that is mid-range, and depending on how you answer the question,...
*laughs* When I first read that you had Seventh Day Adventist questions and Jewish questions, my first thought was "Am I on the right MB?" :chuckle But now I understand what you mean. Since you got a...
I'm just wondering what the study was trying to prove. As a doula, I have many clients tell me that they don't want "coaching" during 2nd stage, that they want to push when they feel the need...
Oh Mugwump.. for your sake I pray that it's option #3. Babies can "hide" in different spots, especially if you are retro. I hope that you receive news soon either way so that you can know what's...
Wow.. tragedy on top of tragedy. Sounded like the code happened at the right time in that you had all the staff you needed (and then some). I'm so glad that you were able to get her back. I'll be...

I'm wondering, too, how this turned out. I know this happened in August but I'm wondering if you are still taking the meds. You are definitely not alone. My mom has been stuck before. She had the...

Let me guess. It's usually the "dad" portion of the parental unit that asks this question, huh? Talk about idiots. Warning: this is a little disgusting. I've heard a father or two comparing their...

I do agree with you that you don't need an LDRP to keep mom with baby. Some of our hospitals are better than others about getting baby back to mom. I was cuddling one of our newborns when she just...
I had mine placed a few weeks before we got married last January. That was very DUMB on my part because I was still bleeding from it during our honeymoon! Now that I think about it, they didn't do a...

I surely can understand why you got fed up with him. That's not right to do to your co-workers. I'm curious, did you ever try the line, "Why can't you be a professional enough to go place a foley on a...

Sorry that you had such an awful Christmas shift. I know of some people who work holidays and make the best of it. On the floors it can be quiet because most of the docs try to send pts home in time...
Sorry about that if it's the case, raindrop. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Sometimes you can never tell. I do agree that you did the right thing either way by dropping off the card. This...
BabyRN2Be replied to badabinggirl's topic in General Nursing
Badabinggirl, first of all, welcome to allnurses.com. It's been a wonderful resource for everything nursing related. To answer your question, I do know of some nurses (not personally) who do have some...
I think that you are possibly going to have to find out the hard way about the job. I believe that HR would probably know about who got the job. After all, doesn't the doc office contact HR on who...
I'm not quite sure where this would possibly go, but since hospice is now involved I'll post it here. Can anyone tell me if Alzheimer's itself is a terminal dx in and of itself or does one die of...
Hey Nursejoey, Just wanted to let you know that I'm still praying for you and your family. Keep strong in your faith. May you feel the peace that passes all understanding and receive his boundless...
Thank you for posting that doodlemom. That helps define the criteria, this is exactly what I was looking for. This is such a sad, sad disease. She seems like she was a wonderful person when she was...
