  1. The Mockery of Nursing

    caregiver1977 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wait, does this mean I can't start my "I Have An Afro Can I Still Be A Nurse" thread? (I do have an afro in real life). What? How insensitive!! You people must be the "Nurses Who Eat Their

  2. OB Nurse's View on Natural Childbirth

  3. permission to poop granted!

    caregiver1977 replied to Flare's topic in School

    A little off the subject, but I always thought it was ignorant for a teacher to complain to a student about teacher pay. What can the student do about it? How is it the student's fault what teachers...

  4. permission to poop granted!

    caregiver1977 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Oh, and sometimes children are bullied in the restrooms, which causes them to hold

  5. permission to poop granted!

    caregiver1977 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Flare, I can't understand why YOU have to tell these students this. Why isn't the teacher suggesting this? It certainly doesn't take an advanced nursing degree to know that the child may need to...

  6. OB Nurse's View on Natural Childbirth

    caregiver1977 replied to LexiRN2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As it has been said, if you want a natural childbirth, this is something that needs to be discussed with your provider BEFORE labor. Make sure you clarify what you mean by "natural" to them. At my...

  7. Are enemas making a comeback?

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    My friends often ask my advice when they are pregnant because I have had 5 children. They know they are only getting my opinion, or can only share my personal experience. Anything more, they need to...

  8. Medicaid-How long does it take?

    caregiver1977 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I worked with my local Medicaid office (I live in central, Mississippi). The Medicaid workers told me that it can take up to 30 business days from the time the application was

  9. Are enemas making a comeback?

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I understand them for early, early labor to get labor started (an enema beats pitocin or a c-section ANY DAY, in my book), but I have heard to many stories of an enema being given to a woman already...

  10. Needing advice...

    caregiver1977 replied to mc3's topic in School

    I don't understand why you had to stand there and take being verbally abused. I understand people being upset (and believe me, some parents do have every right to be upset with the school) but people...

  11. How do you deal with explosive customers?

    caregiver1977 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, but...who really wants bees (unless you are a gardener)...? HA

  12. How do you deal with explosive customers?

    caregiver1977 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I first read the title I was confused whether or not this thread was about explosions from the mouth or the "other end." Maybe some of these people are in foul moods and giving you all trouble...

  13. OB/L&D nurses, some input, please...

    caregiver1977 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you did the right thing, and should return if you have any other problems. I'd bet apples to oranges if you were to stay home when you should have gone to the ER, those same nurses would be...

  14. Madame, your ignorance is astounding

    caregiver1977 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's worse, if you can imagine, is that some healthcare workers make snarky comments to the embarrassed patient about the mess they are in. Yeah, that really helps the situation

  15. c/s with ONLY local

    caregiver1977 replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only imagine the kind of debriefing these patients needed. WHAT A NIGHTMARE!! Fear of c/s is one of the reasons why I refuse to have another child. I am approaching 35 and have past pre...

  16. Satisfaction from wiping POO? GASP!

    caregiver1977 replied to iluvhrts's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you from personal experience that when a patient has something embarrassing happen to them in the hospital (like a bowel or wetting accident), and they are not treated with dignity, it...

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    I would like to correct something, because I don't want to misrepresent myself on this forum. At the moment I am a substitute teaching assistant. Very soon I will be a teaching assistant at a public...

  18. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in School

    I got this from abcnew.go.com. I am a substitute teacher and I have 3 children in public school. This is why I would not send my child to a regular school if they had serious/fatal food allergies....

  19. Baffled

    caregiver1977 replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it really isn't the fault of an overbearing female. Sometimes it is a male who does not want to take responsibility for ANYTHING so when ANYTHING goes wrong he can blame someone else. Been...

  20. What Job Opportunities are available for LPNs?

    caregiver1977 replied to peachshan's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    In my school district (located in cental Mississippi) there is a public school that specializes in educating special needs/health fragile children. Most of the children there are healthy, but many...

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    Good for you nurses for speaking up! Not only are the teachers or anyone else in the schools not going to be on board with taking the responsibility, they really can't if they wanted to. If the...

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sometimes I see threads on here that ask where a CNA can work other than a LTC. I work with my local school district, and just recently found out that one of the public schools in my area is geared...

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    Not to get off my own subject, but how is that policy fair to students that do not have such allergies? The only way I see that being fair is if the school is providing free lunch and snacks for ALL...
