    Adult ADD and Nursing

    BabyRN2Be replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I can definitely relate to you. I'm hopefully going into nursing this spring (2005) and I was dx w/ADD. I am concerned about such things as medication errors, but then I think about my mom. She had...

    Online CPR certificate?

    BabyRN2Be replied to sarahr5's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm.. I really don't know anything about this, but it doesn't sound like it's possible. I mean, don't you have to demonstrate that you know what to do? I don't think that CPR is something that you can...

    Now THAT'S the way to hold a Staff Meeting !

    BabyRN2Be replied to jnette's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, that sounds really nice! It's nice to know that there are some NM who think of ways to make inservices a little more enjoyable. And that goes a long way for employee retention as well. Somebody's...

    Just read this "woman does own C-section"

    BabyRN2Be replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    Neither do I. There are some facts missing here. I mean, if she had her child call the nurse, why didn't SHE do it in the first place? The nurse probably would have known what to do. The story just...

    The spouse and I

    BabyRN2Be replied to Mantibob's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's a very good suggestion. I've had to forego my dreams of becoming a nurse for financial reasons; however, I live in Oklahoma and we'd probably need nurses willing to work in the Indian...

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had a really wonderful birth last week in which I served as a doula. I have permission from the parents to share it with you all, I will not use their names though. This might be a little long, but...

    What if all docs had to nurses first?????

    BabyRN2Be replied to MryRose's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, one of the nursing schools that I'm applying to has a CNA requirement before you can work on your RN - we'll have empathy for the CNA's we work with. Maybe docs would have some compassion for...

    Lupus

    BabyRN2Be replied to GEO's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious about this as well. I don't have lupus, but I do have a mixed connective tissue disease with the prominent feature of Raynaud's. I suffer from the fatigue as well and I'm wondering if...

    Your Worst Mistake

    BabyRN2Be replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    As a student-to-be, my worst fear is making a medication error. I haven't even started school and I've been reading chapters in nursing books about drug calculations, and I practice these calculations...

    Working with Doulas

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    After I posted that I remembered it was Danbury, and not Banbury. So that's why I couldn't find them on the Google search.

    Working with Doulas

    BabyRN2Be posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm just wondering what the general consensus of nurses is when working with doulas. I'm a doula in private practice and I'm looking forward to starting school this spring to get my RN. I'm currently...

    BabyRN2Be replied to ladytraviler's topic in General Nursing

    I had this conversation with my boyfriend about what type laptop I should by. I mostly wanted to use it for writing papers (I'll be in nursing school hopefully this spring), Powerpoint, medical...

    BabyRN2Be replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Have to share about a woman who has an incredible pain tolerance. She was in labor all day, wanted to have a vag delivery even though the baby was estimated at 5200g. She was doing all the pain...

    I wish I had a nickel for........

    BabyRN2Be replied to petiteflower's topic in Emergency

    That should be illegal, the same way that in most hospitals around here the family can't tape the delivery of a baby. No audio, video or still pics of the birth. You can take pics of baby when it's on...

    dress code before clocking in

    BabyRN2Be replied to dee_OB's topic in General Nursing

    I know you said that your hospital provides the scrubs, but can you wear your own just to clock in and put on the hospital scrubs for work? That would really stink if you had to buy a "business...

    Right thing? personal opinions needed.

    BabyRN2Be replied to ejm99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm really outraged at what happened. I have a B.S. in speech-language pathology and was working on deaf ed minor until the "Early Childhood Intervention" minor came along. I've known Exact English...

    Would you assist in abortions?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this is from a while back, but Fergus, you have a very good point here. Although I come out on the pro-life side of the issue, your post gave me something to think about as I would like to do...

    Betsy, Thank you for your good wishes. Actually, there are several arenas I am considering for nursing work - L&D, Mother/Baby, and NICU. Although my first love is L&D, I'd love to do NICU...

    Wonderful Birth Last Week

    BabyRN2Be replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Whitney, You mentioned waterbirth in the hospital, and I thought to myself, "That sounds a lot like a hospital I know of in New Hampshire!" And then I saw you were from NH! They are very progressive...

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    BabyRN2Be replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I'm not a nurse yet, I work in a hospital with OB pts. But hey, I'll give you my pet peeve anyhow. And my #1 pet peeve is: Pts who use EMSA (city ambulance) as a taxi service. We have pts...
