  1. ? About not breastfeeding

    hospitalstaph replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very good point! Who hasn't come across an IBCLC or LLL leader that made you uncomfortable because they were so over the top. But I have met women also that seemed upset that they were given info...

  2. Newborn PKU: Heelstick vs Venipuncture?

    hospitalstaph replied to Krojas21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh nothing like a little guilt right off the bat to a new mommy! At one hour the test is useless! I have always declined in the hospital (we usually leave with in 12 hours) and have the test done by...

  3. ? About not breastfeeding

    hospitalstaph replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I absolutely agree. Our society and medical system in many areas is just not set up to give support to women that are experiencing problems with breastfeeding. I have talked to one too many mothers...

  4. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph posted a topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone catch the comment on Gray's Anatomy last night about nurses? One of the residents was helping another study for boards (that he had failed once) and she asked him if he was going to...

  5. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't remember getting all worked up about it, I was just asking what everyone thought of the comment.

  6. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Are you serious???? This is fiction? I had no

  7. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! This was the point that I was trying to make. I guess I was perceived by some as an overly sensitive nut:) (ok maybe on some days, but not today) Yes this show probably has little to no...

  8. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I love it too! In fact I should have been studying last night and not watching it:)

  9. Gray's Anatomy

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I did see that episode. You mean that Docs don't give enemas?? Well, I thought that I was off the hook after watching that show:) Also did you notice that the character that the resident...

  10. Opinions on J pouch procedure

    hospitalstaph replied to bethin's topic in Gastroenterology

    I'm sorry, maybe I misread your original post but I thought that you said that you already had Crohn's in the small intestine? If you do end up losing your colon, an ileostomy is not the end of the...

  11. Addressing patients?

    hospitalstaph replied to CanopyCindy's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that is toooo funny! I like to think that the person taking care of me would consider themselves my friend, and my friends call me by my first name:) I am curious though: I call my spouses...

  12. Visitors Code of Conduct

    hospitalstaph replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ooops, I broke a rule. I did stay with my husband one night when his pain was really bad and I slept in his bed with him. His nurse actually seemed to appreciate it since he was crying a lot and...

  13. Visitors Code of Conduct

    hospitalstaph replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh please let me add...... In the event that you are visiting and the doctor or nurse enters , do not quiz them about the patients status and treatment if you are not in the position to make these...

  14. advice on nursing school please

    hospitalstaph replied to OB_or_NICU_hopeful's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, you and I must be long lost sisters! I honestly went into this with the idea that I would be IBCLC in the end. I have three little ones and am part time working on ADN (ages 3, 6, and 8). In the...

  17. 9 mo. old anemic breastfed. What foods?

    hospitalstaph replied to Agnus's topic in Pediatric

    I told her, much to her surprise that back when she was a baby Laleche promoted starting the baby on meat around 6 months. She said that meat is not recomended today until much later. (was it a year...

  18. Opinions on J pouch procedure

    hospitalstaph replied to bethin's topic in Gastroenterology

    Question: How do you have Crohn's in small bowel and UC in colon? If IBD develops anywhere other than the colon isn't it assumed that it is Crohn's everywhere? If you already have Crohn's in the...

    hospitalstaph replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

  20. HCA Hospital??

    hospitalstaph posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I am currently in school for my ADN and talked to an LPN student today. She told me that HCA hospitals do not use RN's on med-surg floors. She said that only the charge nurse is an RN and that...

  21. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    hospitalstaph replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I was not aware that I was making fun of anyone or looking down on anyone. I was simply sharing how I worked to protect my husbands privacy. I am missing something???

  23. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    hospitalstaph replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!!!! After my husband endured a rectal examine with his mother and brother (and our priest) in attendance while in a trauma bay, I completely closed his ICU room off to anyone that was not...

  24. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    hospitalstaph replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I needed stitches a few years ago and my regular doctor's office told me that they did not do stitches and told me to go to the ER. I called around and got into an office that does urgent care after...

    hospitalstaph replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
