    Women who don't know they're pregnant

    I probably should have said something like, "There must be serious denial going on if a woman is passing off strong baby movements on something else." I've only had one, and I did have an anterior...

    Women who don't know they're pregnant

    I think that 24 months is the cutoff when a baby is no longer a "baby." Spoken like the mom of another 18 month old baby, but she really is getting out of the "baby" phase. *sniff* She's getting to be...

    Rules for the ER (long)

    What's the saying? Give them an inch and they take a yard? I'm sorry that this happened to you. I can see that you were trying to be so nice, doing them favors so he (not "they") would have to wait,...

    CMA Student Fooled...

    I feel so bad for this girl just reading this. Unfortunately, many of these programs absolutely dupe their students. Another unfortunate thing is that once she gets a job as an MA, she'll probably...

    I REALLY Need Info About Online Organic Chem Courses

    Hi! I don't know if I can't help that much, but you mentioned that the course is just way too hard at your school. If it was only one or two people getting a 55% it would be different, but if the vast...

    license issues

    I'm sorry but allnurses.com is not a place for legal advice. As was mentioned in another thread, things like this are decided on a case by case basis. It's really not possible for anyone on this site...

    CNA issues

    I think you said it all right there. Unfortunately, he's going to have to learn some lessons the hard way. I pray that no one gets hurt or he gets fired while learning these

    For the person who said that flight attendants do not save lives, I beg to differ. Unless you don't want to find the easiest way of ~15 tons of flaming wreckage. Or unless you don't want to be...

    L&D nurse is calling formula poison!!!

    I'm so sorry that you are going through this conflict. Contrary to some well-meaning people's beliefs, formula is NOT poison. I'm of the biggest BF advocates you may ever see, but what happens when...

    er visitors...a funny

    I think that's the key phrase here: I don't know how you ER types stay even "relatively sane" after dealing with a lot of the family/friends out there. Kudos to all of you for doing so.

    C section info needed - NOT MEDICAL ADVISE

    Because of the difficulty of labor and subsequent c-section, I did not want any visitors at the hospital with the exception of my most immediate family. A few people disregarded my wishes, and I,...

    I hate it!!!

    Well, I really hate to be a wet blanket, but the $ Tree store tests are sort of hard to read for even an educated person who has taken many of these tests. I really hate to admit something like this,...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    I'm just curious, but why was she transported in the first place? Obviously she needed a little education, but why couldn't EMS do that in the field rather than bring her in? Where there other...

    Help me find CNA training?

    I went to Dream Maker's School for Health Care Aides and I really liked it. Classes start every two weeks, and they limit the amount of people in the classes so you can get more individualized...
  19. I have a question for those of you whose administration uses Press-Ganey. When someone gives you all positive scores, does this get back to you all? My point: I was hospitalized in February of this...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    Not to get off the point either, but LilgirlRN makes an excellent point. This happened to my mother's coworker. They were RN's working on the same floor. My mom's friend came into work with the worst...

    Am I Just a Cynic or Is nursing a poor career?

    This is a good question: I really did not want to imply that OB patients were special. And what I meant to say was L&D, my mistake and I'm sorry. Not that L&D patients are more special either,...

    "Tips for the ED Drug Seeker"

    I know what you all could say for those who can't remember the name of the medication, but it starts with a "D." Say, "I know exactly what you are talking about and yes, you're right, it's absolutely...
