    MarySunshine replied to Katydidit34's topic in Ob/Gyn

  11. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    MarySunshine replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, now we shouldn't be allowed to encourage the dad to help with "Come, hold your wife's hand," "Stand here and rub her back if you want, that will help her relax," etc. Maybe we'll just have dad...

  12. Is it ME?? Conflict in the workplace....help!

    MarySunshine replied to Worthy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you've had a bad experience Worthy. This does happen a lot in hospitals and LTC facilities. It's because the work is arduous and enormous and everyone starts blaming each other. Well, of...

    MarySunshine replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh my. I am horrified that they're stealing personal belongings of their residents! On moral grounds or safety grounds? I don't get the rationale. And yes, every consenting adult should be given the...

  16. Horrible clinical day. Just horrible.

    MarySunshine replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    My sister had an incident similar to this during one of her clinical. It all boiled down to her miscommunication with the nurse assigned to her patient. She has since become quite careful in checking...

    MarySunshine replied to StressedDad2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think X=36 and Y=35, but there may be more experienced nurses who disagree or have something to add. Just like the first time a baby walks can vary widely between children, so can the developmental...

  20. When circ's go bad...

    MarySunshine replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    While I would choose to have an older child or a man be circumcised rather than an infant, simply because the older male can *rationalize* through the pain, all these stories of men "needing" to be...

    MarySunshine replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw a bad infection once, but that was treatable. I do help out with circs and I'm pretty understanding and nonjudgemental of parents who choose to circ their baby. It seems like for every circ...

    MarySunshine replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, and if you (JWK) were paying more attention, it was the doc who was quizzing her about whether or not tubals fail. She answered correctly. Not everyone can be alert and oriented to all that is...

    MarySunshine replied to hypnotic_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Do some conveyor belt cooking. For instance, I will buy two cans of refried beans, a block of chedder, two dozen whole wheat tortillas and some salsa. I'll make all 24 burritos, eat one, and freeze...
