    My Story / Mayo Clinic

    BabyRN2Be replied to buffscotty's topic in Nursing Career

    I, too, encourage the OP to research Mayo. There are two sides to every story. At Mayo, as a new nurse, they want to razzle and dazzle to impress you to come to work there. As a young person, you've...

    Exactly HOW addictive do you think Ambien is?

    BabyRN2Be replied to justme1972's topic in Patient Medications

    Just another thought... is it possible that your friend has medical conditions that you are not privy to? Not all people like to disclose all their medical conditions and I feel this may be a...

    Can a CNA work in the Labor/Delivery Part of the hospital?

    BabyRN2Be replied to airbear5's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, a CNA can work in L&D. They are responsible for stocking, preparing the triage room for the next patient, emptying trash - if cross-trained, they will also manage the secretarial...

    Calling a Code

    BabyRN2Be replied to Bella36RN's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I don't know if I'd put up with that sort of environment. Secondly, wonder if management would prefer to be hounded in a legal forum because someone did NOT call a code on someone who...

    Migraines.. is this normal treatment?

    BabyRN2Be replied to mommyoffour's topic in Emergency

    This is a good forum in which to ask your question because I remember in the recent past this almost exact question came up. If you look back in the previous threads, you may be able to find it. I'm...

    The personal questions patients ask - sorry need to vent

    BabyRN2Be replied to Anagray's topic in Emergency

    I found this one pretty hilarious... :rotfl: Thanks for the good laugh. I, too, am pretty amazed at questions some people feel it's OK to ask. Since I was pregnant a little later in life, there were...

    Flu Cases

    BabyRN2Be replied to michael79's topic in Emergency

    This is the time in which you have to think positively and chant "Job security!" in your mind. The ambulance service in this area is running call volumes the second highest in it's history this year...

    New Sick Leave Policy: Strange Or Not? Whaddya Think?

    BabyRN2Be replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't have said it better myself, I totally agree with this. Leaving it up to one person's discretion is a terrible idea. Two people are going to have differing opinions. The policy should be the...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    How about diaper rash as a stupid reason to go to the ED? My daughter, 2 months old at that time, had developed a terrible diaper rash. She was vocalizing every time she urinated and the rash was...

    Woud this sound "demanding?"

    BabyRN2Be replied to Krissiana's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Is this true? Like when I told the L&D nurse that I didn't want an internal monitor during labor and she did forced one on me anyway because I couldn't move my legs despite telling her...

    A Generation of Wimps?

    BabyRN2Be replied to EDNewbie's topic in Emergency

    This reminds me of a labor patient a while back. I was working for the hospital as a volunteer doula. They called me in as this pt was particularly "high maintenance" (read: on the call light every 5...

    Families!

    BabyRN2Be replied to marjoriemac's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ohhhh... this describes my MIL to a tee. For over a year she had her mother in the NH behind our house. We'd pick up her meds and go to see her several times a week just to say hi and see how...

    oh ye uninformed... this is why er nurses "don't care"

    BabyRN2Be replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    That's the thing I don't understand. When people call EMS just to get a ride into town to do their grocery shopping, go to their favorite liquor store, gambling hall, etc. and go AMA when they get to...

    Color Coded Braclets

    BabyRN2Be replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I had my baby back in October, I believe I had on 4 bands. This is for a normal, otherwise healthy woman delivering a baby. Although this is slightly off the topic, that whole experience has...
