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

    hospitalstaph replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point but it isn't the husband complaining, it's the wife. And she is not complaining that he may have been uncomfortable, she is complaining that another women saw her husband naked while...

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

    hospitalstaph replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I find this Dr Abby letter so interesting. I know that some "non-medical" people would be disturbed by the incision but her own hubby's genitalia, you have got to be kidding me. Heck after my...

  3. HCA Hospital??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    I would hate to see LPN's cut from hospitals!!! On the med/surg floor at the hospital that we use (when hubby is in with Crohns flare) the LPNs are great. I really think that the care that he...

  4. 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...

  5. HCA Hospital??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for the great replies. I was just curious if the info that this LPN student gave me was true, although I didn't think it was:) She made it sound like she would be graduating before me...

  6. Bad at chemistry

    hospitalstaph replied to olanurse2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Chem was so difficult for me!! I was not the only one though. Our class started out with 60 and only 22 finished the class. My advice: 1) Cry if you need to and then get back to work! 2) Let...

  7. HCA Hospital??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Tracy, I am so sorry to hear what you are going through:( I don't plan to leave the KC area. I have heard that the HCA owned hospitals are so bad to work for and that they really do not treat...

  9. Nuva Ring

    hospitalstaph replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hated it! I am not sure what made me react differently to this method than the pill but it was not pleasant. I did not want anyone to touch me, husband or kids. No hugs, nothing! I was actually...

  10. My innards are falling out !!!! EEEKKKK

    hospitalstaph replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wish you the best! A sense of humor is great in times like this isn't it? I believe that you can have intercourse with a pessary in place. My hubby has an ileostomy at 31 and he is doing fine with...

  11. Is buying a present for a pt. appropriate?

    hospitalstaph replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

  12. Question about nurses and smoking

    hospitalstaph replied to FLstudent06's topic in General Nursing

    I know that my husband had a nurse that smoked when he was in the hospital. He can't stand the smell and he let her know that he could really smell it. She was great, she apologized and quickly...

  13. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    hospitalstaph replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to you on the recent loss of your brother. While I am not a nurse yet, I previously worked in a casino that was of course open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. This was before I...

  14. Know hospitals that pay for school?

    hospitalstaph replied to jab3da's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard that Excelsior Springs Hospital does but asks for a three year commitment. You would probably be better off taking out loans, three years is a LONG time if you hate the hospital that you...

  15. L&D Straight out of Nursing School?

    hospitalstaph replied to Siouxz2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know how you feel! I have absolutely thought that L & D was the only way that I would be interested in going. Now I am having second thoughts. My hubby was recently hospitalized for Crohn's...

  16. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I apoligize if anyone is offended that I am asking for professional opinions to a personal problem but we really need an educated opinion. My husband has been having trouble breathing for the past...

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Have you seen or heard of Legionnares Pnemonia without the flu-like symptoms? He has no coughing or fever. I am beginning to learn quickly that nothing is "by the textbook". I mentioned Rhematic...

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, My husband saw my NP today. She ordered an entire series of tests. Please forgive me if I sound stupid, but one was the test where they blow into a tube. I really should know this since I...

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but his allergies are very mild in nature. For example, our cat only bothers him if he touches his eyes after petting her. Other than that no allergies (that we are aware of). Does Rheumatic...
