    Puuuuuuulese!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Good question... and why don't they request to refill their antibiotics or other non-narc meds early?? Hmmm... It's like in school when someone has asked to miss class and grandma has died... for the...

    Ed Techs

    BabyRN2Be replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    Jennie, I am so sorry that you are having trouble with these 2 techs. You anger and rant is definitely justifiable. I can't believe that one of them said that she's a certified (whatever)...

    Becoming a CNA/PCT Before Nursing School

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all, I need some advice. I've wanted to be a nurse all my life and it appears as if I will get my chance - and my mom's blessing as she was the reason why I didn't go into nursing the first time...

    Becoming a CNA/PCT Before Nursing School

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PCT= Patient Care Technician. Typically they are trained to do more than a usual CNA would do, such as taking care of Foleys, d/c-ing IV's, etc. Thanks JessicaGmez for your well wishes... I hope that...

    How can the hospital stay profitable?

    BabyRN2Be replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in Emergency

    What about getting a social worker involved in this if he's a frequent flier? Could they possibly discuss this with local police about getting a psych hold/consult and eventually a care plan? Just...

    It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    BabyRN2Be replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Jnette, you're exactly right. If they want to have a resort atmosphere to attract more patients/revenue, I'm all for it. But have the appropriate staff to deal with appropriate matters. Are you having...

    It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    BabyRN2Be replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, part of the problem is that a "hotel" atmosphere is promoted by the "higher ups." And that leaves us with the fallout from people with unrealistic requests, like they were staying at the...

    I did it, I bought a Pocket PC

    BabyRN2Be replied to TheNewDino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been lurking around (aka drooling) the PDA sections in Circuit City and Best Buy for a while. I'll undoubtedly buy one before I go to school. Last night we were looking at the Palm LifeDrive. If...

    "Covard's" Syndrome? Anyone know?

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    A few days ago I was talking with someone else who had worked in L&D for 10+ years. We got to talking about all the "hospital underground" information and we got to talking about people who show...

    Where should I go?????

    BabyRN2Be replied to ocb_dave_ocb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with jnette on this one. The Carolinas would be great. Lots of scenery changes with the beaches and mountains in close proximity. Florida I wouldn't be so hot on because of the cost of living,...

    "Covard's" Syndrome? Anyone know?

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks talaxandra for the information. I've heard of this syndrome in dogs, in fact we had one who had a false pregnancy. She was just a puppy so maybe she was just going into heat for the first time....

    Applied for L&D again!!!!!!!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Good luck to you! I hope you get the job of your dreams. I understand the L&D itch. I've tried to scratch it as a doula and it doesn't seem to do the job. The next step to a cure is nursing...

    cocaine use during conception

    BabyRN2Be replied to jasonn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the above posters. Her PCP must be called and she needs to be totally honest with him or her about her substance abuse/use history. This is not the time to hide this information, and I do...

    Wedding rings that sit "high" up vs. gloves

    BabyRN2Be replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a big jewelry person either. My inlaws are always giving me cheap jewelry that I really never wear. It's not that I'm ungrateful, it's just that I'm not a big jewelry person. My wedding ring...

    Wedding rings that sit "high" up vs. gloves

    BabyRN2Be replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good trick to know about. I'm constantly changing gloves in L&D and Well Baby nursery and since mine is a princess cut (square diamond), it's alway getting snagged on something. After...

    How do they post DNR in the patients rooms at your LTC

    BabyRN2Be replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One LTC had a board of all the residents names, much like a hospital. If there was a blue dot (about the size of a quarter) next to the name, it meant that they were

    Making pretend??

    BabyRN2Be replied to Mandarella's topic in General Nursing

    You did a marvelous job handling some first class rudeness and ignorance. Actually, when I was in the hospital, I didn't mind having a student nurse at all. They were the ones who actually had the...

    helping a nurse with drug use/job

    BabyRN2Be replied to kkind4's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that there is a line here that needs to be defined. Was this nurse taking narcs for a chronic condition? Last time I went for an employee health physical, I was told that I could take my...

    "Do Not Use List" of abbreviations

    BabyRN2Be replied to soontobe_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Where can I find this list? Can someone post it or a link to it? I'd really like to see it. If someone could do that, I'd appreciate it. Or if you could tell me where I could find it, that would work....

    Tattoos and nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to PrincessJessica's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, I'd be in big trouble if I had to wear only my wedding band to school as it's soldered to my engagement ring. It moved around too much and I thought it would be best to just have them soldered. I...

    Patients who steal from the ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to mdslabod's topic in Emergency

    We have so much stolen at our hospital. And since there aren't lockers for the volunteers (and we do a LOT of heavy work, the doulas have the most physically demanding of all the volunteer jobs) - we...
