    DON threatened the Nursing Staff - pending Dennis landfall

    BabyRN2Be replied to pensacola_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd really like to hear what happened in pensacola_LPN's situation, but seeing that she hasn't logged in since July 9th, I'm wondering if we'll ever know what happened. Maybe she just came on here to...

    How long is too long? re: 2nd stage of labor

    BabyRN2Be replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a doula at a hospital I've recently seen a pt whose pushing stage lasted about 2.75 hours. The baby was fine and she was doing well (without an epidural). Although she was begging the docs to do an...

    12 hr. shifts vs. 8 hr. shifts.

    BabyRN2Be replied to jamerss's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm trying to think what's going to be best for me. I know that working 12 hour shifts is going to be long, but if I want to work in L&D, that's great for pt continuity (as SmilingBluEyes pointed...

    Do nurses find these useful

    BabyRN2Be replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    Marie, some of them are so small (yet have a lot of memory) that they can fit easily within a scrub pocket, or even a pants pocket. That is, if you're like me, you don't have enough stuff in there...

    Congratulations! :balloons: I'm glad you found that book and thanks for sharing it with us! I'll have to remember it when it comes time for me to take the test one day!

    Priority question

    BabyRN2Be replied to Purlple's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    With my limited knowledge, I was going to say the little boy because of autism, abuse, etc. Like Tweety said. Sooner he gets into treatment, the better. The man's BP was not dangerously high but...

    hard of hearing to RN

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

    Wow, that's going to be some awesome technology to have around some day! I know of many, MANY people who would benefit from something like that, and I hope that YOU will be able to take advantage of...

    Becoming a CNA/PCT Before Nursing School

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

    I see that no one has touched this because it's been brought up in so many other places. Anyhow, after talking with a few temp agencies I've found out that they will hire PCT's. So... I think that...

    Does anyone know much about Lupus?

    BabyRN2Be replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thanks Kolt19! That's a lot of great information! I don't have SLE, but I'm told that I have a very slow progressing scleroderma. I was recently tested for SLE, but fortunately, that came back...

    What do patients say that irks you?

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just be sure that they give it back! Congratulations! I know that this is a little late, but I wish you the best of luck! I know that everything is going to go great for you. Hope you and little...

    Can someone tell what these drugs do?

    BabyRN2Be replied to milenko's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It definitely helps to know where the poster is coming from, whether it be a nursing/medical student or a lay person who wants to know how these drugs are used. This reminds me of a case on another...

    Can someone tell what these drugs do?

    BabyRN2Be replied to milenko's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Fentanyl is now available in a solid form called "Actiq." It's a lozenge on a stick (I hate to say "lollipop" :)) that's often used in treatment of breakthrough cancer pain. It can be also used for...

    Do nurses find these useful

    BabyRN2Be replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    With all the threads about PDA's and their usefulness in nursing, I think that it would be great to have a forum for PDA's. We could share information on what's available in different areas (OB/GYN,...

    Did you ever "neglect" a patient???

    BabyRN2Be replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Stitchie, I read your post and I agree with the others. What the NM did was wrong, to fire that nurse whose husband was in ICU. Where, exactly, is her heart?? If it was her husband that was seriously...

    hard of hearing to RN

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

    I understand what you are going through. My bachelor's is in Speech-language pathology so I have some experience working with audiology pts. People do not understand that hearing aids do not do for...

    Driving out the older nurse

    BabyRN2Be replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the nurses who are targeted at this facility need to contact a lawyer who is very good at these types of cases. This is age discrimination, and it's not legal. If someone can find a...

    what else can I do?

    BabyRN2Be replied to wrkoutgirl's topic in General Nursing

    wrkoutgirl, is it possibly because you aren't a good "fit" or "match" for the facility you are working for? It sounds like you are a great nurse, but maybe your personality doesn't work well in your...

    Ctr Nsg Advocacy: Nurses upset over Univ of Alberta medical students "Medshow"

    BabyRN2Be replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Does someone have the lyrics to the song in question? I clicked on the word "piece" in the article but apparently the link doesn't work anymore. I'm just curious as to what was all said, although it...

    Would you recommend CNA experience prior to Nursing School?

    BabyRN2Be replied to onesmallspark's topic in General Nursing

    I've actually posted this same question in the pre-nursing forum. I'm trying to decide whether to do the CNA or PCT route. The CNA route would only take 2 weeks MAX and cost $495, and the PCT route is...

    Graduation Ceremony Woes

    BabyRN2Be replied to MKANS's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with you in that this is a very important "rite of passage", and that you want someone personal, who knows you and what you've been through, and not just some administrator who wouldn't know...

    " will be better the second time"

    BabyRN2Be replied to haynurse2005's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Haynurse, Hang in there and keep at it! I know that it will be worth it in the end and no one will care how many times it took to pass the NCLEX. Just keep going!

    6th TIME WAS THE CHARM FOR ME!!!!!!!

    BabyRN2Be replied to nursy2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't believe this is true. There are a few people here who failed the NCLEX 3x and they didn't mention going back to school. Anyone know? Maybe you could go back for remedial help, but I don't...

    Question about a question on nclex

    BabyRN2Be replied to merei's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oops! Thanks Steph for noticing my error. And the whole time I was making that post I was thinking, "Don't confuse CS with Scientology"... D'oh! But don't you think that the answer would be the same?...
