    Just How Common Is This Pediatric Condition?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to VickyRN's topic in Pediatric

    I haven't dealt with it as a nurse, just a layperson. My younger brother-in-law had it. He played competitive sports since he could talk. I think it should be mentioned in lecture on a FYI basis...

    still trying

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

    Start nursing school from scratch and enjoy having an edge. You already know the A&P, a lot of Pharmacology and Pathophysiology. It will mean less study time. The big transition you will have...

    Is religiosity a word? I like the last two though. Sedentary lifestyle can encompass at least two or three other diagnoses and roll them into

    Lippincott's or Davis's Drug guide?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to rkrs6673's topic in General Students

    Our school offered Davis and we all hated it. I forked over money for Lippencott. It has a CD as well with drug info. I like the layout better and the other thing it has that Davis does not is IV...

    Rochester, NY, anyone?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to huadring's topic in New York Nursing

    Not sure about the hospitals, but I did live there for awhile. If you can afford it, Pittsford School District has some of the best schools in the country. Nearly all of the school districts in the...

    SAD: Just Wondering........

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

    You dh and this whole board, you mean. :rotfl: I think I have it too. When the weather breaks in the spring, I feel like a new person. All I want to eat is fruit (and ice cream on occasion). I...

    How important is Left side

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

    If she lies on her right side the baby can come to rest on and compress the vena cava and abdominal aorta. It would impede the flow of oxygenated blood to the rest of the body (and the baby). It...

    Did Anyone Take Their Daughter or Son to Work Today?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have little ones yet. There was one guy from a different floor who brought his daughter with him to our floor. We told him (gently, of course) to leave and send someone else. The floor I'm...

    Whiners! UGH!

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

    I have spoken to the patient and set intervals to check on him. I told one that I would check back in half an hour or so and followed through with it. Give or take about ten minutes. Then told him...

    Help Me Please.

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to optimisticn29150's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welsome to the board! I think the CNA course is a good idea. You'll get hands o experience with patient care. I am assuming you are taking pre-requisites right now. That will be good for two...

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in Nursing Career

    I started spotting late Sunday. Got an ultrasound and went to the midwife. They did bloodwork and new urine test and they all came back negative. Apparently the home tests were false positive's....

    How soon after graduation to start a family?

    NurseyBaby'05 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I graduate in a few short weeks. Dh and I have been discussing starting a family off and on for the past two years. I'm torn between two schools of thought. Waiting until I have worked for a year...

    Urgent: Mom is having shoulder, arm pains

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

    I don't think so. There's a reason the MI fatality rate is so much higher in women. The symptoms don't present in the traditional manner and are often overlooked. You did her good by being a pain in...

    Well, we decided to go the route of this summer. I took a job where I work 3 12's a week and am off the other four days. I'll also rotate days and nights each week. 7a-7:30p (my weekend off) one...

    Shift dilemma

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

    I found that I really like the pace of the twelve hour shifts a little better. It seems like all of the same things I had to have done by three are the same by seven. I'm not running around like as...

    Taking a job in a unit you don't really want

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I disagree about being the squeaky wheel about transferring. The op herself should not lose sight of her goal to be elsewhere. However, if all she does is bring up transferring while at this other...

    I have a question

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing a mentorship on a Hematology/Oncology unit. It's great. One thing that I can recommend is to KNOW YOUR LABS. They're tested daily at a minimum and the treatment for the day is based on...

    Which class is more difficult?

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to matsgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sailed through Micro. A&P 1 on the other hand was horrible. I never worked my a** of so hard for a C in my life. I'm good at learning and critical thinking, but I'm terrible at just straight...

    Skirts, anyone???

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

    I would really like to wear one, but the stockings are what is stopping me. I avoid stockings/pantyhose like the plague. When it gets to the point that I need to wear them on a regular basis, I...

    prepackages NS syringes and ports access

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

    If you unwrap them and drop them on the field are they then considered sterile? I can't remember weather it's just the packaging that is non-sterile or the outside of the

    Present for nurse

    NurseyBaby'05 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I disagree. What if this patient had bad experiences with some of the other staff? Why should they be rewarded? Also, this isn't junior high anymore. If my feelings get hurt because my co-worker...
