  1. Everyone's wearing scrubs...is this good?

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading a thread last night that brought up the subject of staff wearing scrubs who are not nurses, but being mistaken for nurses. I have noticed that this is not so much at my local hospital,...

  2. With all the allergies children have nowadays...?

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in School

    Is it a good idea for teachers to have a classroom pet, especially one that has fur? I am talking about animals like rabbits, hamsters, guineas, etc. Aren't some people allergic to animal fur? Is...

  3. It's August!! Who is going back soon??

    caregiver1977 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    My district starts for students Aug. 10. This is almost a week later than

  4. It's not my job to pray with you.

    caregiver1977 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I just want to point out that there is a difference between praying aloud in behalf of a patient and standing silently while someone else prays. I don't think a nurse should be forced to do either,...

  5. Birthday Treats

    caregiver1977 replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    My school allows treats, but they can only be store bought. There is a seafood ban at my school, but it was so poorly enforced that most people didn't even know about it. But you asked about birthday...

  6. Do you keep clothes in your office?

    caregiver1977 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    This is just a question, where do these students go? I am not disagreeing with your policy, btw, just asking a question. I would say that I hope it is somewhere where the student isn't "on

  7. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ok, stop the press... You mean they actually asked for 7 orgasms!!! I'm sorry, but didn't that patient just sexually harrass the nurse, the nursing staff, or whomever the request was aimed at? What...

  8. Poopy Pants in PreK

    caregiver1977 replied to amnesiac1c's topic in School

    In my school district, the problem is more of WHAT will the child change into rather than WHO will change the child. In my school district I have witnessed the teacher assistant helping to clean up a...

  9. student with terminally-ill parent

    caregiver1977 replied to Sudsy's topic in School

    I am just glad you care enough to help. My dad became terminal when I was about 2nd grade and died the summer before I entered 7th grade. Through all that time the school(s) couldn't have cared...

  10. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am glad you have that attitude. Some nurses do not. I think your hospital is more progessive than the local one in my

  11. Food insecurity in your schools?

    caregiver1977 replied to GemTwist's topic in School

    Sometimes teachers or teacher assistants just bought food for a hungry kid at the school where I worked. We didn't want them to starve all day while decisionmakers haggled over what to do. This...

  12. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only minor problem I have with continuous EFM is that it doesn't give you chance to go to the bathroom exactly when you need to. Sometimes when you are laboring, things happen too fast for a...

  13. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh I am certainly not saying that all Caucasian patients are being treated great, but minorities tend to be treated worse (am I not saying all the time). Some of the shabby treatment I pointed out was...

  14. B/P and Seizures

    caregiver1977 replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are right, and the people who have said that I was probably closer than what I thought to a seizure. I really should not have waited until Monday to go to the doctor; I should have gone to the...

  15. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Okay, I have to bite...what is so ignorant about what I said? Just because you have never seen it

  16. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am glad you have never seen this and I hope you never do. It still

  17. The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And I don't want to be seen as someone who brings race into everything, but at some hospitals, especially in the South, black patients who want to ask intelligent questions about their healthcare and...

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I couldn't have said it better. God bless

  19. B/P and Seizures

    caregiver1977 replied to knufflebunny's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My b/p was 220/115 at my prenatal appointment and I didn't even know anything was wrong!! I just thought I was a little swollen. I had been to work that day. I intended to go to the appointment, and...

  20. Complications of gestational diabetes??

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What are some of the worse complications you all have seen when a woman does not control her gestational diabetes? What is the worse that can happen? I am really curious about gestational diabetes...

  21. You can't fix stupid!

    caregiver1977 replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I had a teacher last year that would send her students to the nurse for ANYTHING. Since I was the assistant, I had to walk these kids to the nurses office. This particular teacher wanted me to take...

    caregiver1977 replied to TrevyRN's topic in Emergency

    In my ignorance I didn't even know people could LIVE with a BG of 1620!!! I had a church member die because hers went into the

  23. You want us to do what?!?

    caregiver1977 replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I almost fell out of my chair when I read this. I guess it is not that surprising. I once worked a job where my manager designated a person in our group to plan her birthday party, and told us she...

  24. Why is Pit started on spontaneous labor?

    caregiver1977 replied to Katie71275's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only reason I think I got "pitted" was for the staff's sake, not me or my baby. There I am, laboring happily along with great contractions, no pre enclampsia, and all of a sudden a nurse rushes...

  25. Does your facility still give enemas ?

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to know if the hospital you work for still gives enemas to maternity patients when they are admitted to labor and delivery. Is it good policy to administer them? Do you wish your...
