    caregiver1977 replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes families don't know what they are and aren't allowed to do for their families once they are in the hospital. There are still families out there who want to respect the rules of the hospital...

  2. do you make sure your pts

    caregiver1977 replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    I wish hospitals, nursing homes/LTC facilities, etc., would hire people like me to do things like this. This sounds a lot like what I do for my older relative that I do caregiving for. I would love...

  3. do you make sure your pts

    caregiver1977 replied to juzme's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it is feasible to expect a patient to be as clean as possible. I think what the OP was expecting was not over-the-top. She just expected her MIL to look clean, not like she was...

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in General Nursing

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

  7. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did think of that...after I left.

  8. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because asking if I was bisexual didn't really give her information about my sexual practices. I could consider myself bisexual, but be married to a man and not be a practicing bisexual out of...

  9. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Then as someone else said she should have asked about my sexual practices rather than my sexual preferances (sp?). She didn't ask me anything about my specfic practices.

  10. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    caregiver1977 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    caregiver1977 replied to Sixxer's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. Painless labor?

    caregiver1977 replied to Stephanie D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have delivered 5 times and did not need an epidural with any of them. By the time I felt the pain was that bad, the baby was crowning. With my 3rd child I had no pain meds at all. I was exhibiting...

  14. The frightening ignorance of teens having babies

    caregiver1977 replied to ShariDCST's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, most of the teen moms I have seen (and I have seen a lot) basically dump their kids off on the grandparents. I can't say ALL teens do, but most of the ones I have seen do that. It is not just...

  15. The frightening ignorance of teens having babies

    caregiver1977 replied to ShariDCST's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was wondering what that meant, LOL! One thing I am teaching my children is that sex is not something they have to rush into. If you are going to be careful who you let wear your clothes, eat your...

    caregiver1977 replied to Gently.me's topic in Pediatric

    Leslie that sounds good, and I would be all for it. But frankly my dear, there are going to be some people that don't give a damn (don't get offended that I called you "dear" that was a play on the...

    caregiver1977 replied to Gently.me's topic in Pediatric

    Many of those homecooked meals would be much more affordable and healthier. It is more affordable especially for larger families. My husband and I have a larger family and I figured our meals to be...

  21. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    caregiver1977 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who has been teaching about 30 years. She was telling me and a group of friends/relatives this story. It is a little gross/TMI. My teaching friend (we'll call Mary) had a female...

  22. Anyone have to call back patients who have left without being seen.

    caregiver1977 replied to JessicRN's topic in Emergency

  25. my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    caregiver1977 replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you forgot to mention is that hiring managers also are very slow to consider someone who has not worked for a while--whether it is because you are a stay at home mom, were sick, whatever....
