  2. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    clemoi replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Right on! If you can't get out of bed and support yourself, I'll get you a walker. If you can't do it with a walker, I'll get you a bedpan. No one is falling on my

  3. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    clemoi replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    clemoi posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    clemoi replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and I work on a med/surg floor. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to watch an organ harvest happen at work one night. I think if you bring it down to basics, a dilemma...

  6. Confused on how to start a career in OB

    clemoi replied to clemoi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish my hospital had an L&D floor. We are all adult care. The company has a few hospitals in my city so I can stay with the company and transfer to another hospital but right now there are no...

  7. What should I do?

  8. baby to the nursery please

    clemoi replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't see why nurses think its an issue of being lazy or mothers not wanting to be with their babies, so i appreciate your non-judgmental attitude. I've had three babies and am a very involved...

    clemoi replied to dreamer827's topic in General Nursing

    I have a tattoo on my thumb that i cover with a simple silver ring, but you can still see it. During my first nursing class i wore bandaids over it to cover it but they came off every five minutes...

    clemoi replied to luvnhim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    clemoi replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside report seems to work really well in the clinical sites I've seen it used. I'm a PCA on a large med/surg floor and the nurses don't do bedside report but I think it would help. I think it's...

  14. CNA issue

    clemoi replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a PCA and a student nurse, and I've read all of the replies to this question. I'm wondering why not just be straight with her? "I'm getting the impression by the way you are coming across when...

  15. Unbelievably Discouraged..Please help!!!

    clemoi replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    Any interview is simply an opportunity to sell yourself. If you are a good nurse, you need to say so! Have examples of what makes you a good nurse, think of some situations where you really...
