  1. Babies we'll never forget

    I too work in the NICU and can totally relate to how this little guy touched so many lives in such a short time. It's amazing how their personalities and will to fight are inherent at birth. We've seen a few stories like yours, and no matter what t...
  2. ER last night made me mad!

    When they stop defibrillating patients who are in asystole, maybe they'll portray nurses in a better light. The whole premise of Abby becoming a doctor because she's such a shining star as a nurse and is basically wasting her time being a nurse mak...
  3. Leaving but not started yet

    What part of it are you unsure about? Perhaps it's the stress of coming to the end of the program and not being sure about being prepared about exams, etc.? Maybe you're just trying to prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario by thinking this wa...
  4. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    Needy -- let's try to get this straight... here is part of your original post: I think #1 and #4 has been adequately covered -- it's Hollywood, entertainment, etc. and not completely accurate or realistic. As far as #2 and #3 go, the shift work an...
  5. Just read this "woman does own C-section"

    I have no doubt that the article and journal are legit... but who's to say that the story is... but who knows -- perhaps only that poor woman in Mexico...
  6. Just read this "woman does own C-section"

    So true! lol
  7. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    It can happen that they rip, but if the patient is that questionable, a lot of nurses double-glove for those occasions. And like I said, you're really only at risk if you have cuts or what-not on your own hands, and if you're really paranoid, you ca...
  8. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    Actually, they are non-latex gloves these days since so many people have developed allergies to latex. However, there aren't many organisms that can cross through the gloves. (think about a condom -- those little swimmers can't get through that thi...
  9. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    If you're only getting married in 3 years, then don't sweat it just yet. Why don't you wait and see what it's like once she's working. I can understand your concerns, and trying to deal with them now is a good idea, but maybe you presented yourself...
  10. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    Heh heh... from my experience, no, the doctors are not trying to hump ALL the nurses (just the cute ones! JUST JOKING). Seriously... I've been nursing for 7 years (and attached the whole time :) ), and although I have had some interest from a few do...
  11. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    "Anyway, I have a lot of concerns and she tries to reassure me that my concerns are not warrented nor will they be as bad as I think. However, I am skeptical because she has not been in the profession yet. So long story short. I am concerned about...
  12. Marriage to a Nurse-- Need HELP

    I can't agree more with everyone's posting. If you were looking for sugar-coated answers to your questions, you definitely came to the wrong place. If you want a reality check, then keep on reading everyone's postings. As you've probably already r...
  13. Just read this "woman does own C-section"

    Don't believe EVERYTHING you read...
  14. Why did you become a nurse?

    I became a nurse after being in a car accident and having the experience of being a patient. I vowed that none of my patients would ever suffer the way that I had. After my terrible ordeal, I went back to college and completed my 3rd diploma (first ...
  15. The way nurses treat each other

    I agree with what everyone is saying, and I will add this: You will find as much good in nursing as you will find bad. And may I add that I think it's the same in almost every profession these days. I have been nursing for 7 years, one year on a g...
