    caregiver1977 replied to MandaRN94's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Fortunately you didn't have to have the bedpan experience,

  3. Staff and artificial nails

    caregiver1977 replied to txdon's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just want to say I couldn't agree more with the OP and

  4. What does your username mean?

    caregiver1977 replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't want to be mistaken for a nurse, but I am thinking about going to nursing school. I was born in 1977

  5. Visitation policy of children in L&D/ Mother Baby/ LDRP

    caregiver1977 replied to MemphisOBRNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I live in central Mississippi (I once lived in Memphis for about 18 months and lived outside of Memphis for about 10 years). I don't know if they really have a policy about who can visit. I never...

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

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    I know of a social worker that wears scrubs. I don't think I have seen one in a lab

  7. Special Needs Student Left Alone in School Nurse Office

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I am not talking about the regular, run-of-the-mill private school. In my area there are at least two schools that are for special needs children, and they are private. I don't think I even...

  8. Special Needs Student Left Alone in School Nurse Office

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Oh, no Heidi the Nurse, I appreciate the public schools, but I think some children's medical problems are beyond what the public school could handle. Schools are staffed by education professionals,...

  9. Special Needs Student Left Alone in School Nurse Office

    caregiver1977 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Another reason why I wouldn't trust the public school system to keep my child safe if he/she had a deadly peanut allergy or need Diastat administered regularly. Too many kids; too many

  10. Inappropriate family members

    caregiver1977 replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes those family members are not only wearing on your nerves as a nurse, but on the patient's nerves as well. There were times my husband would come to the hospital and fuss at me and leave me...

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

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    At my county health department they all wear scrubs and most of them don't wear name tags. I've not experienced any problems, but I just wanted to see how other nurses felt about

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

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    When someone is pushing a food or janitor cart, then that is kind of obvious:p It is just that some of the staff that are not so obvious sometimes get mistaken for nurses, even when they do something...

  13. What's so special about being a Postpartum Nurse?!

    caregiver1977 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    magnesium sulfate! That was the stuff! Imagine trying to recover from that stuff and giving birth and being fussed at by your husband because your older child acted up at daycare! The PP nurses...

  14. What's so special about being a Postpartum Nurse?!

    caregiver1977 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I have given birth to 5 children, and it was the PP nurses who comforted me when my hormone's were crazy and I couldn't stop crying and didn't know why. It was the PP nurses who comforted me when my...

  15. So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

    caregiver1977 replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing

    It is kind of hard to remember that nurses have other priorities, no matter how high those priorities are when you are in desperate need of the bedpan. No matter how reassuring the staff is about an...

  16. School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    caregiver1977 replied to safarirn's topic in School

    Some more questions: 1) How are they going to make sure all the students in this class properly wash their hands and mouths? Have you all seen the way 6 year olds wash? 2) How are they going to know...

  17. immature nursing students

    caregiver1977 replied to bananabubbletea's topic in General Students

    A lot of the people I know who are nurses started nursing school in their mid to late

  18. before getting pregnant in nursing school

    caregiver1977 replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    I agree with all the above posts, but I think there is nothing wrong with the OP reminding

  19. School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    caregiver1977 replied to safarirn's topic in School

    One theory is that the kids are being sensitized in utero. Peanuts and their byproducts are cheap and deeply entrenched in the food supply. But haven't they always

  21. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

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

    I am an ER RN, and about 2 weeks ago I had a lady and her 16 year old daughter (who was being seen for a cough. Thats it..a cough) throw open the door to a room where we were coding a 48 year old full...

  22. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

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

    No, they are not at a 4 star hotel. That would probably cost less than the hospital,

  23. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

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

    I would have loved to have earplugs to drown out the noise of parents who bring their children to the hospital to visit and then let those children run around yelling in the hall and bursting into...

  24. Call light response time policy and procedure

    caregiver1977 replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    It is especially distressing not to get your bedpan in time and have to be cleaned up by staff. The staff may not think much of that, but believe me, the patient does. I realize that nurses can't...

  25. I just found out... One of the nurses I work with is

    caregiver1977 replied to lpnwkids's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    And with my mind I thought she was going to find out a nurse was having sex with a patient/co-worker/doctor, etc. on the job. Poor
