    I almost fainted!! Need advice please!

    BabyRN2Be replied to amber32123's topic in General Nursing

    Like Tazzi said, there are many factors that can contribute to this. Like others have said, that doesn't mean you aren't nurse material. My mom knew that she wanted to be a nurse all of her life. She...

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to say I had a really sharp nurse who checked the meds I was taking before she gave me another med the MD ordered. She told me that she was waiting for another order because what was ordered...

    CNA's giving sucrose during circs

    BabyRN2Be replied to bhardy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I worked as a volunteer in the NICU, we could give Sweetease after we were instructed how to do it. I was working as a CNA in another area so I did have that certification, but they had the other...

    BabyRN2Be replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    OK, I just HAD to come on here and post this because this is the first thread I thought of when this incident happened. Lately we've had some minor trouble during the pregnancy, and I was told to go...

    How much does a delivery cost in the U.S.?

    BabyRN2Be replied to linzz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Timely question, actually. I just got back from registering to deliver at a local hospital. With our particular insurance, it will be $200 whether it be a vag delivery or c-section. On the piece of...

    Return to work advice

    BabyRN2Be replied to jlasrrn's topic in General Nursing

    My mom did what nursekristy did. She had been out of nursing for a long time, but kept her license current. Once she decided that she wanted to go back, she took some refresher classes and got her...

    Has anyone worked at a detention center?

    BabyRN2Be replied to rose red RN's topic in General Nursing

    Michelle, Under Nursing Specialties, there's a forum for Correctional Nursing. You may want to post there. I'm sure you'll get a lot of information about working in correctional centers. Best of luck...

    criminal record in nursing school???

    BabyRN2Be replied to orangepez01's topic in General Nursing

    Natorius, Since you are about to start school, I implore you to contact your state BON NOW, if you haven't done so already. As I had mentioned in another post on this subject, it would truly be a...

    ANGRY! There's no place to eat or drink 'round here!

    BabyRN2Be replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe OSHA has changed this regulation in the past 10 years, but there are some places where you can keep a drink out but it has to have either a cap or lid on it. What's really a shame about this is...

    Youngest preemies

    BabyRN2Be replied to Ozboy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks, RainDreamer. I was going by what was reported in the MSP papers which may not have the exact date. Also, there's a "sticky" at the top of the main page of this forum that says "Tiniest Baby...

    Youngest preemies

    BabyRN2Be replied to Ozboy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are you counting those preemies as the result of multiple births? I'm not sure if you've heard, but there were two sets of sextuplets born in June. One set was further along when they were born, but...

    BabyRN2Be replied to strive4mores's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if it seemed like I was "piling on", but I really wanted to know where you were coming from. Thank you for your explanations. About the above quote from your last post, I will say that I...

    help, i didn't know i did something wrong

    BabyRN2Be replied to strive4mores's topic in General Nursing

    Like Tazzi, I'm not trying to be harsh, I'm just trying to figure out why someone should show you any leniency regarding double billing. Yes, we know that it was a job requirement, but in essence, it...

    BabyRN2Be replied to hoping1281's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When I was doing my CNA training, the hospital was expecting an immediate visit from JCAHCO. Although the students would be steered away from JCAHCO. there was always the chance that we would be...

    Please advise

    BabyRN2Be replied to want2b's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, As allnurses.com is not available to give legal advice, the best thing you can do is to get a lawyer for yourself. That would be the best way to go. If they have a lawyer, you need one,...

    Fentanyl & extrapyramidal sx

    BabyRN2Be replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From the patient's experience, it's an awful, awful thing to go through. I didn't have the brightest GI doc in the world, so he gave me a very high dose of Reglan along with Compazine to relieve the...

    BabyRN2Be replied to lepela3's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I believe that OSU-Okmulgee has an ADN program as well. However, that's not exactly the Tulsa area. If you are in NS already, Dottimur is right in that you may want to...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    Sorry for the double post, but I didn't see this one. I'm sure this one has got to be annoying as well. I've been on a few pregnancy boards lately and I've seen several posts along the line of: "I...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    i guess i should have clarified between going to the ed vs. the doctor's office. i was also thinking about those who go to the ed at 11pm wanting a pregnancy test right now because they didn't want to...

    Stupidest reason to go to ER

    BabyRN2Be replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    I wish some people would find out that Dollar Tree/Dollar General (and the like) carry pregnancy tests... for a $1! But I guess that $1 would not be affordable because it would cut into the $200 shoe...

    BabyRN2Be replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it is proven that mom does not have gonorrhea, chlamydia, or any other STD that could cause eye problems, then why is the treatment necessary in the first
