  1. Quick artifical urinary sphincter question

    ObstreperousYoungLad posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I told my grandma I could watch my grandpa today. He's got Alzheimer's and an AUS so I was just curious as to what I need to do with that. The last time I helped out my grandpa he was pretty much...

  2. 12 Hour Shifts--A bad idea?

    ObstreperousYoungLad posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently a nursing student and things have been...interesting lately. After seeing nurses in my acute care clinicals and browsing this forum I've come to the conclusion that 90% (Yes, 90%...

  3. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey people, first time poster here. I'm also a first year student and tomorrow I begin acute care clinicals. This will be my second bunch of clinicals, my first being at an extended care facility with...

  4. 12 Hour Shifts--A bad idea?

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's an interesting thought for me because I've grown up with my parents doing just that and I've always thought of it as the norm. I've always associated 3-4 days/week with my teenage jobs in...

  5. 12 Hour Shifts--A bad idea?

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch! Yeah, maybe I'm just a rotten, lazy, entitled millenial, but I think it's absurd to force someone to do a 12 hour shift if they're not up for it. I wonder if European hospitals have this issue...

  6. 12 Hour Shifts--A bad idea?

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I suppose I could do it if was only 3 or 4 days/week. Coolpeach, you have my sympathy. Hopefully as time goes on things will get better for you. I guess I better just keep hitting the gym and...

  7. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate advice, but please, don't act like you know what I'm thinking or "viewing something as". I assure you, sexual thoughts weren't on my mind when I was auscultating an 81 year old with some...

  8. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    EVERYONE IS SAYING DIFFERENT THINGS AM I ON CRAZY PILLS OR SOMETHING!? Okay--all better. I'm just going to go with what my instructors told and listen to all the sides with my steth on the skin. Any...

  9. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    J621d, I certainly DO plan to listen thoroughly--I'm merely getting the opinions of more experienced nurses. Also, do any of you wear gloves when doing the baseline? I don't mind touching someone's...

  10. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    Well the consensus seems to be to listen to the posterior side and not bother with the anterior side unless there's an abnormality or difficulty hearing. I suppose this is just one of the little ways...

  11. Lung sounds and breasts

    ObstreperousYoungLad replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Cherry. And yes, at my college they want us to listen to the anterior, posterior and lateral
