  1. Jehovah Witness RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    The crux of the matter is that when it involves JW patients, a nurse who happens to be a JW is expected to put JW rules ahead of "Caesar's Law". And that just happens to include reporting what a JW...

  2. Jehovah Witness RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    who's being judgemental now? seriously, i do not understand how you equate honestly informing professional colleagues of jw beliefs as 'having an ax to grind against witnesses.' if jws were clear and...

  3. Moving from US to Canada

    HvnSntRN replied to MadisonsMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    You would have to contact the College of Nurses in the province where you plan to practice to get the particulars. The Canadian Nurses Association has a webpage listing all the provincial licensing...

  4. Jehovah Witness RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    this is one of those instances where the jw belief system becomes a bit sketchy. the watchtower society [wts] does not specifically prohibit a jw nurse from carrying out a physician's order to hang or...

  5. Jehovah Witness RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    i grew up in a jw family, although i have not participated in jw activities for many years. to the op: whatever ethical dilemma you wish to discuss with fellow jw rns, i hope you understand that if...

  7. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    HvnSntRN replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a patient accuse me of "stealing" her baby, and wrote a complaint for the NM to follow up. Considering that I am the queen of CYA, and had already documented in her chart and in an incident...

  8. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    This has been bugging me for a while. A few weeks ago, we had a postpartum patient who is Jewish (Orthodox), which means that they won't do "work" on their Sabbath (sundown on Friday until sundown on...

  9. "air fresheners" at work

    HvnSntRN replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you talk to Occupational Health about how these "air fresheners" are causing you to have an increase in respiratory problems for you. That should be sufficient to motivate management to get...

  10. Information on infant care plans

    HvnSntRN replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This one comes from Maternal-Infant Health Care Plans (Jaffe & Melson, Springhouse, 1989) ISBN 0-87434-193-0 Potential increase in bilirubin level R/T physiologic or pathologic conditions in...

  11. Postpartum depression

    HvnSntRN replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I experienced PPD with my first child - I had no idea that there was anything wrong with me. Yes, I was not my usual self, but there were many other things happening that exacerbated the stress, and...

  12. Calling In Sick.

    HvnSntRN replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    My policy is that if I'm sick, I'm sick. I'm around new moms and babies, and if it was me having a nurse look after me and my newborn with a cough and dripping nose, I'd be furious. My co-workers...

  13. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    These are the kinds of things I was talking about regarding understanding all the subtle nuances of various religious practices. Without being educated on the matter, I would never know that there is...

  14. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bingo. Thank you. I'd forgotten about Yom Kippur. It all makes sense

  15. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We are happy to have babies in the nursery at night to give moms a break. Nobody resents it - it's a service we will offer as long as we have a nursery to provide the service. As I said, what...

  16. Didnt do so hot in NRP class...

    HvnSntRN replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All of our staff have to be NRP certified, even though none of us on Mother Baby will likely ever see an actual resuscitation in our practice. I've been a NRP instructor for 3½ years, and main thing...

  17. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This happened a week prior to Sukkot... I thought maybe you had the explanation I was hoping for, but no. I did not even consider the possibility that she may have been exhibiting some early signs of...

  18. OB RN nurse advice

    HvnSntRN replied to lovebug41860's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It really depends on the institution where you work. Some places have LDRP which means your patient Labours-Delivers-Recovers-Postpartum in the same room. Others, like the institution where I work,...

  19. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in Eastern Ontario, not in Toronto, so the Jewish Child Welfare agency would be outside our jurisdiction. I'd be very interested in hearing about anything you learn at your information session on...

  20. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    HvnSntRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    that's what i find totally ridiculous about the situation: they do plan to feed their baby on the sabbath when they are at home, because it's not against the rules of the sabbath to eat, or to do...

  21. Feeling sick and stupid

    HvnSntRN replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This sounds like what they call "baptism by fire". It also sounds very unsafe for you and your patients. We don't do LDRP where I work (we are strictly postpartum), but we do aim to ensure that...

  22. cleaning poop

    HvnSntRN replied to tprashad's topic in General Nursing

    You could always opt for maternal-newborn care or NICU. Baby poop is at least tolerable.

  23. Atheist or Agnostic?

    HvnSntRN replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I checked, both Canada and the United States guarantee each person's fundamental right to have any belief system they wish. Being a nurse is not about our personal belief system. Being...

  24. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    HvnSntRN replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I haven't read the entire thread, but I pretty much agree with the idea that Nursing can be a very spiritual vocation without actually involving religion or religious ideologies. Before I became a...

  25. Last names on ID badges and retaliation by patients

    HvnSntRN replied to ICRN2008's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work we have our full names printed on our ID tag. However, we are permitted to cover our family name to protect our privacy. Some use white tape, others make a label of their own with just...
