  1. fainted during a procedure at work!!

    caregiver1977 replied to NurseKate16's topic in General Nursing

    Look on the bright side! You probably helped your patient feel less embarrassed about getting his "man parts" operated

  2. A Point of View From a Dialysis Patient

    caregiver1977 replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    What you describe could be said of any part of patient care. Mine happened to be labor and delivery. It is bad in my area because there is only one main hospital in about a 40 mile radius, so they...

  3. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    caregiver1977 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know if this has been covered, but if somehow the Medicaid/Medicare fraud could be erased by some magic wand, do you think Social Security would be in better shape (for those that say that the...

  4. School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    caregiver1977 replied to safarirn's topic in School

    My concern is that the student in Florida has a very sensitive and DEADLY reaction to peanuts. She can't tolerate peanuts being breathed on her. This isn't simply a case of not being able to eat...

  5. Full Moon kinda weekend!

    caregiver1977 replied to Alana211's topic in General Nursing

    And I thought my weekend was crazy because Friday my son, who has had great behavior all school year long, decided to cut a classmate on the hand with a pair of scissors. I am SO embarrassed . That...

  6. Being overly sensitive/overly emotional when dealing with patients

    caregiver1977 replied to kynchanted's topic in General Nursing

    I've gone through labor and delivery 5 times, and personally I would have thought it was cute if one of the nurses cried when I pushed out my baby. As long as she wasn't crying so hard that she...

  7. Students from a patient's point of view. Sort of.

    caregiver1977 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    I think that if you are uncomfortable you should speak up, even if you have allowed students before. If he questions you why, I think you should tell him exactly what you told us. This is what I...

  8. Telling The Truth: A Nurse Who Stutters

    caregiver1977 replied to RN0310's topic in General Nursing

    I have a son who stutters, but he is only 7 1/2, so he is not facing the issues you are yet. I'll just tell you what I think. When I was in the hospital, I was more concerned about the care I was...

  9. Are you insulted????

    caregiver1977 replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    The responses I got from these 2 or 3 nurses was off the charts over reaction. They were so insulted and rude. One even told me she did not believe me, that all CNAs and TECHs say that , but they are...

  10. You know the untouched left over food items on pt trays>

    caregiver1977 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I was in the hospital and had food that I didn't like (but it was something good, for example, a slice of cheesecake) I would save it for my husband and children if they were coming to the...

  11. 5th grade puberty class

    caregiver1977 replied to hammergirl5's topic in School

    I am just glad to see that it is being taught this extensively. This did not happen when I was in 5th grade ('88-'89 or somewhere around then). They always touched over it when teaching about the...

  12. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    caregiver1977 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ...or when it is balanced on the backs of the truly working poor. I think people often forget that many people who are on Medicaid and similar programs are not just sitting around on their butts...

  13. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    caregiver1977 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    This one made me laugh until I

  14. Good experience with a student nurse

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in General Students

    Towards the end of my first labor and delivery, my OB informed me that there were some nursing students from the local community college that were at the hospital. He asked me if I would let the...

  15. Wisconsin has gutted Medicaid, no mandated ratios!

    caregiver1977 replied to EponaRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fear what is/has happened in Wisconsin is only going to spread to other
