    My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    BabyRN2Be replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    Love767, I do apologize for the tone in my post. I guess I was a bit cynical when I read your post yesterday because it sounded like it was really out of Echo Heron's book called "Intensive Care: The...

    Patients thinking others are their nurses?

    BabyRN2Be replied to maddiecat's topic in General Nursing

    I know that's a gripe among some patients. With everyone dressing nearly alike, people who are not familiar with hospitals may get confused. One of my best friends from church was by her mom's beside...

    Tension in the workplace

    BabyRN2Be replied to acuteobrn's topic in General Nursing

    Kids-r-fun has this right on the head. In this day hospitals must be very careful about firing someone who is perceived as culturally different. This might be a course of action you could follow until...

    Lost my first patient

    BabyRN2Be replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Tim, It sounds like you did a great job. You definitely have the compassion that is needed during this transition for the family. Sounds like your night was pretty busy, I find it really great that...

    What influenced you to be an ob?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Emily20's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Emily, I'm the same as you. I've always been fascinated by pregnancy and childbirth. Even though my mom didn't want me to be a nurse, when I went for my B.S. I always had L&D in the back of my...

    Please read OB/GYN RNs please help...my last post. I really need some help. Thanks!

    BabyRN2Be replied to GladysStiles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Gladys, It's totally up to you on the track you want to go. The first step is to apply to nursing school, of course. You do clinicals many areas, but when you graduate, you just pick the track where...

    Youngest labor patient?

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, I really don't doubt it. It's just that a lot of states claim they have the highest pregnancy rate in the nation, and I really haven't looked it up. What state would really want to win that...

    Peds: How much laxative is too much?

    BabyRN2Be replied to jenac's topic in General Nursing

    When I first read the title, I thought someone has a bizarre hobby. :rotfl: Really, I hope that everything is OK. I just thought the title was too funny to pass

    Addiction/ Nursing License

    BabyRN2Be replied to bodine's topic in General Nursing

    I've posted this before: there's a saying in the medical field when a pilot knows s/he might have a disqualifying condition when they go for their flight physical. "No lie, no fly" Lest anyone should...

    Just because I'm in uniform does not make me fair game

    BabyRN2Be replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    That's VERY good actually. :rotfl: When I'm in scrubs, my mind is probably on something else so don't expect I'd want to be in your fantasies, mister. For that matter, who fantasies about someone who...

    BabyRN2Be replied to EMTI19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so happy for you EMT! Yes, UI hopsitals are great places. I'd want to go there if I had something seriously wrong. Congrats on getting into nursing school! My thoughts will still be with

    Topic: Venting in Private?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    Since my current line of work is a little different (a doula), I will ask permission from the parents before I share information. I had experienced a wonderful birth and I posted about it - with the...

    What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    BabyRN2Be replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would report it. I'd be working too hard just to see the others who are out partying while I'm home studying. However, it was common knowledge at my previous university that the sororities would...

    My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    BabyRN2Be replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I've read this entire thread. I think my suspicions are dead on in this one. Like someone said earlier, except for a few changes, this was taken almost entirely from Echo Heron's book. From a...

    Youngest labor patient?

    BabyRN2Be replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The youngest I've seen in the hospital was 14. However, I used to work at a maternity home and our youngest was 12. In 2000, a town in Oklahoma with a population of ~40,000 had a total of 7...

    BabyRN2Be replied to kellye's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My personal favorite last time I checked I ICD-9 codes was "elderly primipara".Elderly my foot!!! Editing: Actually, with two kids you wouldn't be an "Elderly primip", rather an "elderly multipara"....

    DEA Attempting to Reclassify Hydrocodone

    BabyRN2Be replied to PA-C in Texas's topic in Emergency

    I've heard about this over the last few years, about attempts to make hydrocodone a schedule 2. You hear about it for a few months, and then nothing. Hopefully for your sake, it's just another

    the term "animal nurse"

    BabyRN2Be replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read the whole thing, but it was very demeaning to human nurses, and not very accurate. I don't think human nurses are the ones with their orifices up their head in this case. I had a...

    Adult ADD and Nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Dianah, Thanks for reminding us! Rhiannon, it's still there. You might have to look back a little ways, but we did have a discussion on ADD maybe a few weeks ago. You definitely are not alone.

    20/20 Report on VA system

    BabyRN2Be replied to Peeps Mcarthur's topic in General Nursing

    That report was indeed very sad. I don't know if this is commonplace for VA hospitals, but I sure hope not. Our veterans deserve more than care like

    Do you wear makeup?

    BabyRN2Be replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    Nope, not here. I'd be in a mask when doing c-sections, etc and after a serious TBI 5 years ago, one of the residual problems I have is excessive sweating. I only wear makeup for special occasions,...

    Lorcet OTC

    BabyRN2Be replied to RainbowSkye's topic in Emergency

    While I'm against making stuff like hydrocodone, etc OTC, I know that England is more relaxed about what it sells OTC. I remember going over there in '90 and getting something for a bad headache (used...

    Pt's C/O in the ER (funny)

    BabyRN2Be replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    And I'm sure that there hasn't been a seasoned ED nurse out there who hasn't heard "There's no way that I could be pregnant!" upon hearing the results of their pg test. There's no way that I could be...
