    Can nurses refuse to perform/assist circumcisions and abortions?

    Baubo516 replied to crunchymama91's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was surprised to hear you say that you could handle abortions better than circumcisions. To me, an abortion is a much more serious procedure and a circumcision is pretty minor. Would you be...

    Leave First Nursing Job and Get Non-Nursing Job while Searching for new Nursing Job

    Baubo516 replied to BluePotion's topic in Nursing Career

    For that job "in the mean time," maybe try signing up with a temp agency. I'm not sure if they place nurses, but I have always been able to find quick clerical-type work with these kinds of agencies....

    Am I Too Old?

    Baubo516 replied to rdl48's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree - you are not too old! I will be 41 when I finish my RN program, but I know a guy who retired from his lucrative career in Finance and went to nursing school because it had always been his...

    LPN's who work at Mt. Carmel in Dubuque?

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, BuckyBadgerRN! That does help! I am interested in doing PRN there, but I already work every weekend at a hospital as a CNA, and I don't want to give that up. (Being part time there gets me...

    Baubo516 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be taking my LPN boards in January, and I am curious about obtaining a PRN position at this facility. Does anyone on this site work there? Perhaps we can private message about it. I have...

    How do Female View Males in the Nursing Profession?

    Baubo516 replied to JUN3UG's topic in General Students

    There are only a few instances in which I have seen it matter whether a caregiver was male or female. We had a patient on our unit who was of a middle eastern culture and he requested to have only...

    Carribbean Character - Congrats! I lowered my cholesterol from 210 last fall to 155 this fall by walking regularly and eating better! I don't know if I can join a gym right now because I am low on...

    Presentation ideas?

    Baubo516 replied to Ruba's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another idea - find a way to simulate for the students in the room some of the manifestations of altered LOC. I mean, a way to show them what it would feel like to HAVE this altered LOC. Not sure if...

    My clinical instructor could be a psych case study

    Baubo516 replied to User720's topic in General Students

    I agree with others that I am also worried about the well-being of the instructor, and that when talking to the dean (or the head of your nursing program) you should definitely come from an angle of...

    Tips for staying healthy in nursing school?

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in General Students

    Thanks, everyone! I am doing my best to protect my sleep. I function best with about 8 hours of sleep, but every now and then I get fewer. I have not tried doing yoga regularly. I have 2 yoga DVD's...

    My clinical instructor could be a psych case study

    Baubo516 replied to User720's topic in General Students

    My advice re: the calls at home- from now on, let them leave a message before picking up. I can't think of any reason that a call from the school would be so urgent that you couldn't listen to a voice...

    What I learned in clincals

    Baubo516 replied to snowwhite2002's topic in General Students

    Do not, for any reason, take out your cell phone and look at it. I know some people say they use them to look up meds, but you can usually look up meds on the hospital's computer system, as well. I...

    Places to study

    Baubo516 replied to lollipop032's topic in General Students

    I just want to second the suggestion of study rooms in your school's library. Our school library has small group study rooms (one table with 4 chairs) and even individual/partner study rooms (just...

    When assessment skills go wrong

    Baubo516 replied to CheesePotato's topic in Nursing Humor

    ahya - You worked somewhere that required you to wear make-up? Was it in healthcare? That sounds unusual to me! I know that casinos sometimes require this of their cocktail waitresses and such, but...

    Proof that Nurses and Nurse Aides are Angels

    Baubo516 posted a topic in Nurses Rock

    I heard this story at church a while ago, and I think it is proof that nurses (and nurse aides!) are angels! In this story from 1 Kings, the prophet Elijah is running for his life from Jezebel. He...

    All the cool people work nights!

    Baubo516 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only downside to nights I have experienced so far is not getting to sleep in bed with my hubby when he is sleeping. When I am a nurse, however, this would only be 3 nights a week, so not as bad...
