  1. Does a patient have the right to refuse to allow students to witness their procedure?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I ask because I am scheduled to be in L&D at 7am for an induction and the hospital is full of students right now and from two schools: a PN program and an ADN program. I really do not like the...

  2. Hating nurses? What is going on?

    Jo Dirt replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I'd tell them to stick it and they'd better hope I'm not the one coming at them with a big needle when they're in a bed and

  3. doctor won't approve my birth plan...

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

    Well, the main thing I want to comment on is the pain issue. I just had my fourth baby a week ago today. The only one I had "natural" was my second which was born at home with a midwife. What a...

  4. Gastric bypass - psycho

    Jo Dirt replied to brax881's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also about 100 pds. overweight, though at this time I really have no health issues, other than severe depression. I think maybe some people are just built a certain way with a certain number of...

  5. complaints about nursing care!?!?!

    Jo Dirt replied to JeN-SN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like so many people have a hard time putting two and two together with this one, people look at some old pathetic person and automatically assume old age has inducted that person into...

  6. Grey's Anatomy star designs scrubs

    Jo Dirt replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    They way they make it sound Katherine Heigl will change the world with her line of scrubs. I don't watch that show and I don't know who she is, but nothing annoys me more than self-absorbed...

  7. Does a patient have the right to refuse to allow students to witness their procedure?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Turns our there were no studentson the L&D floor that particular day. Only ones there were the doc, L&D nurse and the nursery nurse. The doctor broke my water and the pitocin drip was started...

  8. Just want to know.....

    Jo Dirt replied to Sari_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    CPR in a nursing home doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and the success rate isn't even that high with young people. I'm sure you did a fine job under the

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

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

    I brought little doobie home from the hospital today and I couldn't put him through it. His little weenie will be just fine like it is, I

  10. Medical Imaging, start 50k, leading to SIX FIGURES? Nursing v Rad/Sonography

    Jo Dirt replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm highly skeptical. In fact, I'd say you will mostly hear about the far out salaries from the schools that train these medical imaging

  11. Have you seen late pregnancy turn women into monsters?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wonder. This last week I have been so irritable and grouchy, especially when it comes to my family. This has been the hardest pregnancy but I have tolerated the misery fairly well until the...

  12. Being Sexually Harrassed

    Jo Dirt replied to markymark's topic in General Nursing

    In Tennessee conversations can be legally recorded with the consent of one party: you. Better to check out the law in your state,

  13. Being Sexually Harrassed

    Jo Dirt replied to markymark's topic in General Nursing

    Turn the tables on her. Seriously. Start having things sent to her at work, like blow up man dolls and sexually themed toys. You could make it really embarrassing for her and you never have to let...

  14. Does a patient have the right to refuse to allow students to witness their procedure?

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That makes me feel better. I was afraid they may tell me something like, sorry, that's part of the

  15. Have you seen late pregnancy turn women into monsters?

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

    Boy, ain't that the truth. I've got the snotty witch mother-in-law from hell. She looks down her nose at everybody, especially me (she hates fat people and it only brings me down lower to be from the...

  16. ordered to give roxanol with resp. of 5

    Jo Dirt replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? There may be other issues going on here. Call me a horrible calloused person, but nursing home care is not cheap. It is possible that every month that goes by sees more and more of this...

  17. Just Plain Nasty Mean. What Would You Do?

    Jo Dirt replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    There is one in particular I am thinking of who is just a griping, hateful nasty person, and I dream of the day when I see her in Wal Mart and will find an opportunity to cuss her out. Forget about...

  18. Career Change .. can't do nursing anymore :(

    Jo Dirt replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why do people have to keep using the phrase eat their young...???I get so sick of hearing that, and I don't even think a lot of people who use it realize what it means. At any rate, I want to get out...

  19. sextuplets

    Jo Dirt replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    People are not meant to have children in litters. This is irresponsible, in more ways than one. These children are bound to have lifelong health

  20. ordered to give roxanol with resp. of 5

    Jo Dirt replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with this. I believe to give this medication might have mercifully put and end to not necessarily the patient's suffering (who likely didn't know he was in the world at this point...

  21. Update......Thanks to all of you who have given me the courage to continue on!!

    Jo Dirt replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    These are the kinds of stories I love to hear about. You are truly an inspiration.

  22. Why do some nurse's act like they have just ate some sour grapes?

    Jo Dirt replied to 2benurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school one thing some of my classmates did that was soooo annoying was pick apart everything they saw the nurses doing. They would come back from clinicals talking about how that...

    Jo Dirt replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn
