    Have you had a baby at your hospital??

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No one's really been appalled. They kind of look and say " . . ohhhhh . . ." They just think I'm crazy to be planning on/hoping for natural childbirth, period. It wouldn't matter if it was...

    Have you had a baby at your hospital??

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I may wind up delivering on the ob unit @ my hospital. It's the only one in the city where the midwives I see have privileges. I'm planning on having my baby at their free standing birth center, but...

    Reporting a Doctor

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    We have a doc like this who comes on our floor. Our NM coddles him and walks around his ego on eggshells as do most of the nurses. He was verbally abusive to a float nurse and pt's family and she...

    Clogs while nursing

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to Leselberry's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree about the ones with the holes in the top. I find a lot of stuff on the tops of my shoes that I don't know what it is or how it got there. Blech! :barf01: I wear the professionals so...

    Best way to mark your stethoscope?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to spoiled_lil_sister's topic in General Students

    I got one of those too, but I can't see it from across the floor like I can the

    Best way to mark your stethoscope?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to spoiled_lil_sister's topic in General Students

    A lot of people I work with have taken different colors of chart tape and "striped" the sides of the tubing. Each person recognizes "his" pattern. It's nice because you can notice it around...

    12hr shifts & Babysitters

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible for you to get a job that's weekend option in you area? That's what I'm planning on doing when this baby's born. Dh works from 05:00 to 14:00 M-F. (If he gets out on time, that is.)...

    Does anyone have a video clip of how to reinsert a trach if in an emergency?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to student456's topic in General Students

    I never knew there was a proper way to reinsert except to get in as fast as possible so it doesn't close up. I was always told we can treat an infection or other skin issue later. If the pt's not...

    Determining G-Tube placement, what's the NCLEX answer?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You would have to see how your particular practice NCLEX question is worded. This one sepcifies nursing intervention. Reading x-rays is not a nursing

    Nurses just want everyone to have a foley!

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    When we have patients like this, I often bring up the issue of skin breakdown. Sometimes it works, other times it falls on deaf ears. The times where it falls on deaf ears, it takes the pt's skin...

    Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    That's why I figured I could put the same one on every patient and see how long it takes the educator to notice. It's really no more effort than the pain one almost everyone gets. Nobody likes doing...

    Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    I forgot about this nursing dx. I think I may start doing it for all my patients when I fill out care plans to see if joint commission actually reads what they

    Are all nurses that wear white dorks?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I know. We all feel bad laughing too, but we can't help it. Even the patient got a laugh out of it later when he calmed

    Are all nurses that wear white dorks?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I like how the all white looks, but I am not a laundry goddess and they are usually dingy after a few washings. I usually wear ceil blue or navy. Some of my jackets have small patterns. An aside, a...

    Benadryl without an order

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to ncrachuj's topic in General Nursing

    It's a really bad idea to do this with any med. If the doc wants this done without phone calls, he needs to write a PRN order in the first place. The only circumstance where I have done it was when I...

    Is current thinking on pain control creating drug addicts?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient is a drug-seeker, you're not going to cure him during the hospital stay; unless you're working acute rehab. In spite of addiction/dependence, you can't not treat a patient's pain. The...

    How/when to inform work of pregnancy?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to medsurgnights's topic in General Nursing

    I told my manager ASAP after my apponintment with the midwives @ 5 weeks. I'm also on a floor with chemo patients and pts getting radiation implants. It was no problem at all. As for the rest of my...

    Shoes - half sizes?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to wagvan's topic in General Nursing

    I wear a 9 in regular shoes and an 8 in Crocs. They still feel loose, but don't go flopping off of my feet. They only slip off if I let my feet dangle. (That's the curse of inheriting Mom and Dad's...

    Do you ever talk about your 'bad' patients?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to aruray's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Ruby. Part of it is a vent, but the other part is a head's up. Like it or not, everyone does not have their best faces on in the hospital. An example, pt's husband was yelling at...

    Almost the baby. Youngest girl. Dad had a cumulative total of two glasses of wine that I can remember over my thirteen years that he was alive. Mom occasional glass of wine or mixed drink at special...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    There will always be people like that. The one you're speaking of is definitely going to be surprised. My first day of nursing school orientation there were several drop-outs. Two verbatim quotes that...

    A Celebration for Gompers

    I wish to give you a storybook shower. They did this for my cousin for her first baby. They asked us to brink a copy of our favorite childhood story book instead of a card and write a note in it for...

    Did she say that's why she wants to work at a plastic surgeons office? Maybe tht's an area that she really likes. It often takes people many years and many transfers to find their respective niches....
