    Alternative to spanking

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

    Deb-Any severe/overreactive punishments do that for sure. Dh and I talk about it all the time. Whether physical, verbal tirades, excessive grounding/writing, when they were over the top it brought...

    Alternative to spanking

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

    Stanley- You are absolutely right. Every kid is different. Spanking doesn't seem to do much for ds. He doesn't seem to grasp time-out right now either for that matter. It may also be that they're...

    You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    Bottom line . . . . . . .

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Agreed. It's sooooooo tempting to go this route knowing it wouldn't be to hard to get it done. (Especially because nurses have the reputation of being difficult patients. ) This baby girl has...

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

    Exactly! And the reality of it is, our job is gross. We also take care of people who are very sick on their own and don't need any help from us. When I said in an earlier post that you're there to...

    I hope you didn't let them sit at their desks and color. They could have gotten papercuts . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    You cant be fashionable for nursing.

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

    No, but if you shake said pt's hand and then he scratches, brushes against or bumps said wound, the stuff that is festering in your polish could wind-up in it. Or if your neutropenic pt rubs his nose...

    You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    Or you can try reading what I actually typed, which was that there is a difference between clothing that actually fits and looks nice instead and clothing that is obviously too tight. I agree with...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Elvish- Your post explains a lot. It sounds like these docs need the "still in school" mentality beaten out of them and the seeing actual patients mentality beaten back in.

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

    Yes, it does present quite the mental image. :chuckle Maybe they'll just let you put elastics every few inches down the length of the ponytail and tuck it in the back of your shirt. One guy that...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Deb-You are absolutely right. If a lot of these women were told why they were getting something instead of "You have to have xyz or your baby might have a bad outcome . . . . . ", (especially if it's...

    Thanks, Leslie! My tongue is bleeding from not taking the bait . . . . . . . You are soooo right though. I love being on the other side of thirty. It's far easier to be comfortable in my own skin....

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Yes, they absolutely do. Preferably before becoming pregnant. Doctors or midwives worth their salt will start having these conversations about childbirth at their facility long before delivery day....

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

    We're definitely in aggrement. There's a difference between something that fits and something that is too tight and we've all seen it. Too loose and looking like a slob presents its own set of...

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

    Since you went there, this mentality usually slows down around age 14 or 15 when you start to think and act for yourself. My point was: quit acting like this is junior high. Back to the original...

    Then let those nurses be the Typoid Mary's. I think 26 is a little old for the "all the other kids are doing it" mentality.

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    OMG, that's terrible! I would have thrown her out and gotten someone else in there ASAP with a follow-up to the manager. I still would folow-up with the manager in short order. I also don't think I...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Please! They were just ridiculous! :icon_roll Most birthplans aren't that off the wall. I seem to remember a couple like that in our childbirth class when I was pregnant with ds. I saw them at the...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case as much these days. It seems a matter of the squeaky wheel getting the grease. Also, docs only have certain OR days, or deliver on certain days, or...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    I have to agree. Definitely with the last part. "I want induced on xyz day and don't want to feel any pain, but still want a natural birth." That's the downside to going natural. Babies don't...

    Do patient's have the right to smoke even if family doesn't want them to?

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

    It's not the smell that's a problem for me. It's the carcinogens. Those masks don't filter them out. If I drive in a high 18 wheeler traffic area and inhale the exhaust, that's on me. I'm not...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    It was the parents who were negligent. The defense attorney should have grounds for appeal. Those jurors didn't follow the law. I don't blame the doctor for wanting to give-up her practice. By the...

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

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

    The difference is that with the above mentioned situations is that all of the interventions are needed. They are medical emergencies. Childbirth is not. The outcomes for most moms and babies are fine...

    Do patient's have the right to smoke even if family doesn't want them to?

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

    If that's the case, I think it's a load of crap. What if my patient wants to go down to the local chemical plant to sniff the vapors? Do I have to accompany him and expose myself too? He has the right...
