  1. Do you ever deal with pregnant patients who "flip out"?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know they say hormones can make pregnant women moody. Do you ever have women who flip out and they have attributed it to being pregnant? I mean raging lunatic flipping out. I heard from someone...

  2. How much do you enjoy your nursing job?

    Jo Dirt replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    -10 and zippety doo dah (1) on the good

  3. Do you ever deal with pregnant patients who "flip out"?

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

    You mean like bipolar and schizophrenic people are responsible for theirs? Seems like there is a lot of schizophrenic people in my family, my uncle had it bad. The saddest thing was there were times...

  4. Do you ever deal with pregnant patients who "flip out"?

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

    Well, I'm just not my easy going usual self. I feel like I'm standing up for myself more. For example, I have been doing private duty. I had been there 36 hrs. because of call-in's and the family was...

  5. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    Jo Dirt replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    That is not

  6. Need Advice About Hh Job

    Jo Dirt replied to questioningRN2007's topic in Home Health

    I would stay away from that scene. I recently left a home health job where you were expected to see many patients in a day and some of them were literally over 100 miles apart. They will run you to...

  7. Interesting places where women have given birth

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

    I'm kind if interested in unassisted childbirth, but I know the old man wouldn't hear of it. I think it would be great to go rent a motel by the beach and self deliver while you listened to the ocean...

  8. The fatting of America.

    Jo Dirt replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but soy substitutes are not any better. Loaded with pseudoestrogens. Asians don't use soy like people pushing soy products would have you

  9. The fatting of America.

    Jo Dirt replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    Well, get a load of this, tgibson: I'm 5'2", 215 pounds and my diet is almost exclusively vegetarian. Yea, I know cokes and white bread aren't part of a balanced diet but I think there are also things...

  10. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Canada

    Well, I lost my job and health insurance and I'm pregnant. My husband says just go to Canada to have the baby, healthcare is free and the baby will be a dual citizen...we'll go rent a cabin for a...

  11. Interesting places where women have given birth

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

    there are quite a few people choosing not just homebirth now but unassisted home birth. i looked up this website and it is kind of interesting, but some of those women are kind of strange....

  12. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    You're darn right I would. You may not know it, but most births in the world are unassisted. I don't think I would be illegal in

  13. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    Jo Dirt replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    I came up on an overturned pick up a couple of days ago. The passenger side of the vehicle was smashed in but it didn't look like an emergency. The people were standing at the side of the truck and...

  14. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    Nope, sorry, can't do it. (And BTW, there isn't a whole lot of difference in what I pay for my taxes vs. what you pay.) As far as being able to have the funds because I own three vehicles instead of...

  15. Voluntary C-Sections?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wonder if doctor's will do a c-section at the patient's request? I just wonder, because with each of my children I have had to have pretty good episiotomies (tore pretty bad with the one I had at...

  16. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    I've not always had health insurance, either, and I've got a gallbladder full of stones, untreated sleep apnea (even the pathetic insurance I had wouldn't help cover any expense for that) and a...

  17. Interesting places where women have given birth

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

    As much as I love babies and all, I just don't find it comforting to watch the birthing process. It's kind of messy and...well...when I was looking up info. about waterbirths I read about how...

  18. Wrote up for being negative?!?!

    Jo Dirt replied to RNLisa's topic in General Nursing

    Negativity drags everyone down, and it seems like there are plenty of people who don't need a lot of encouragement to feed off it when a busybody complainer comes in the bunch. Pretty soon, though,...

  19. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    The old man "can't" work. He's blind. I "can't" work, either, I've got sciatica something awful (actually, I am doing private duty on the weekends, but it has no health insurance). If I understand...

  20. trying to figure out my life.

    Jo Dirt replied to chmiller1229's topic in General Nursing

    Everything costs money. But the cost isn't prohibitive. Why don't you take a CNA class to break into nursing? That would be better than going into it with no idea what nursing is like. Nursing is very...

  21. Interesting places where women have given birth

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

    That's funny about having the baby in the backyard. I'm in the country but I'll bet the neighbors would still hear the yowling and screaming and call the law... At first, my husband wanted me to have...

  22. How would you have handled this?

    Jo Dirt replied to Aprilmist_99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know, what were they not finishing? Seems if they were really messing up that bad the unit would be really in a state of dysfunction and nothing would be getting done, and with your leaving...

  23. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    My husband wants to know if the child will be a citizen of the country? He said if so, it will be worth the move...personally, I think I would like Canada, and I know he

  24. In doubt

    Jo Dirt replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have one on the way, a 5 yr old, 8 yr old, 9 yr old and a 50 yr old. Sometimes, there really isn't a lot of difference between them. I got through LPN school with 2 little ones and RN school with 3...

  25. Interesting places where women have given birth

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

    A midwife I know has 11 kids and she has gone in her bathroom and gotten in the bathtub with some of them and delivered with no assistance. Seems kind of strange to me, because my husband and I both...
