  1. "VIP" pts

    cabbage patch rn replied to nursie nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a rural hospital and we don't have VIP's so to speak. The problem at our hospital is the "private insurance vs. medicaid patients" issue which makes me sick. In my opinion, any time you...

  2. Fellow student made a nasty comment what should I do?

    cabbage patch rn replied to NewbieNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    There is so much back biting in nursing. Sorry to say, this will not be the first time you experience a mean or nasty comment from a fellow student or colleague. Your skin will become thicker in time...

  3. Any tips for starting IVs?

    cabbage patch rn replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    It takes lots and lots of practice. At least attempt every IV start you can get your hands on, the more often you attempt, you will get the feel for the procedure and an idea of what works and what...

  4. Dr. Phil made nice...

    cabbage patch rn replied to saskrn's topic in General Nursing

    I am so over Dr. Phil. I'll give him credit, he does have some good information and advice, but his delivery ruins it for me. And make no bones, he is only looking out for the bottom line. His wife...

  5. Help with "Bait & Switch" tactics at new job

    cabbage patch rn replied to TennNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the last place I worked. I'm sorry, I know you want that bonus, but you have to decide if it's worth your mental health to stay and suffer. From what you have listed, it seems like a...

  7. How do you all like the pain scale???

    cabbage patch rn replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is ridiculous. Most of our patients don't understand, no matter how you explain it. I overheard a co-worker explain it like this one day, "A zero is pain free, one is mild pain that you can...

    cabbage patch rn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was admitting this soon to be mom of 3 children the other night prior to her repeat c-section and when asked if she had a living will she said that she was a DNR. I was taken back a little by that...

  9. nuchal translucency thickness

    cabbage patch rn replied to Chevelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this is not scientific, but a good friend of mine actually had the same thing to occur and the baby turned out fine. There is really no way to predict the outcome of your procedure. Just try to...

  10. Anyone here work night shift-past or present? Need advice pls.

    cabbage patch rn replied to jetta1's topic in General Nursing

    As far as working nights, I prefer the shift because it is more fun to work, usually more laid back meaning most of the upper level management people are not there, you're not having to do 10...

    cabbage patch rn replied to jetta1's topic in General Nursing

    acgemt~ Actually, I found your snippy comments at the end of your post more offensive because you misread or rather didn't read the post leading up to denurse's comments. I think she was responding...

  12. Why do some nurses do this? And why are they allowed to?

    cabbage patch rn replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital is very strict about overtime, no overtime is allowed unless it is absolutely a necessity. Anything over 36 hours is considered OT. After 2-12 hour shifts I'm exhausted, and 3 in a row...

  13. How many mistakes can one nurse make? (A vent)

    cabbage patch rn replied to JacelRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dearest Jacel, Don't fret it, I've been a nurse for nearly 14 years and I still do stuff like that from time to time. Just know it will be less frequent when you become more experienced, but we're...

  14. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    cabbage patch rn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just curious to know what your policy and or philsophy is regarding this practice. Do you openly encourage supplemental formula or is it prohibited with breastfeeding moms? If you do allow this, do...

  15. Labor, birth and spectators

    cabbage patch rn replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It should be your decision, you're the one giving birth not your husband. I can't imagine having my mother-in-law in there looking at me in all of my glory. I wanted my mom to be in there with me...

  16. What is your hospital's policy on supplemental feeding?

    cabbage patch rn replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't consider a baby who refuses a bottle once breastfeeding has been established nipple confusion, as much as as "nipple preference". I breastfed all of my children and had the same refusal of the...

  18. TLC Special Duggar Family

    cabbage patch rn replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw that a couple of months ago. I can't imagine. But if you think about it, the older kids are taking care of the younger ones so mom doesn't really have it all that
