  1. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    I just thought of something! He had strep throat at the beginning of January. Does this give anyone any ideas?

  2. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I would say that in some ways our family is more stressed but also in many ways less so. I am only in class on Monday and Wednesday morning, so that does not affect his schedule. I did not leave...

  3. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    No he does not smoke, he stopped 11 years ago. He does drink caffeinated beverages but not in excess.

  4. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Well now come on, give me some credit:) I understand that hyperventilation will cause his symtoms but for 4 days? If you were to hyperventilate that long wouldn't you pass out?

  5. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Yes he is currently on xanex and is getting no relief. This is now day three of this so called panic attack. He does regularly work out and his trouble breathing does not get worse. He does...

  6. Anxiety attack or not??

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for your replies! The NP that I normally go to worked in a cardiology office before going into family practice so I think that I may schedule an appt with her tommorow. I am just...

  7. Hope this is the right area... anyone in Lactation?

    hospitalstaph replied to gentlemother's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, you must read Milk, Money, and Madness. The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers (Jack Newman, Teresa Pittman) is also great. You may also get in touch with LLL in your area (although I...

  8. Hope this is the right area... anyone in Lactation?

    hospitalstaph replied to gentlemother's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IMO, the most difficult part is going to be working with women who do not want to and do not see any value in nursing past one (or even 6 months). I also think that the amount of time that you have...

  9. Are unnecessary c-sections on the rise?

    hospitalstaph replied to TNT2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! I am not sure if I am happy to hear that nurses agree with my thoughts on the rise in c/s or not. I have some pretty strong feelings about labor and delivery practices and have worried that when...

    hospitalstaph replied to Rhee's topic in General Students

    Yeah right a class!! I believe you. Milk and molassaes? Were cookies involved?

  11. Why do we need the docs for delivery?

    hospitalstaph replied to ER1010's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My husband caught our last two (not to be confused with delivering them, I did that:). It was a wonderful experience but when he tells other men what he did, about 80% are completely grossed out. I...

  12. How can you say you're not paid well?

    hospitalstaph replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    Is 70,000 a year a livable salary for someone in New York?? I would be surprised if you could support a family on that. My hubby makes about 65,000 a year but with three kids it is often very tight,...

  13. Advice for School Consideration

    hospitalstaph replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I had heard about the evening program but that is really not an option for me. I would never see my husband (and I kinda like him). However, I am hoping that some of the people on the list for...

  14. Advice for School Consideration

    hospitalstaph replied to melessia's topic in General Nursing

    Kalynn, No I am not in the program yet. I am hoping to get in for the Spring '06 class. I am getting all of my general and science courses done first so I don't have to leave my children very much....

  15. Public Speaking?

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

    Oh my gosh no:) But I could have:) I used a lot of facts from "Milk, Money, and Madness". Everyone was really quiet and serious, almost creepy! I was followed by a presentation on "How to make anal...

  16. Public Speaking?

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

    Finally, another weirdo like me!!!! I LOVED speech class. I would get so giddy when I would get my grades back on speeches! My last speech was a persuasive speech and I chose the topic of...

  17. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Please NoCrumping take a deep breath:) I am currently nursing my 2 year old. It is not sexual abuse and it is certainly what she and I both want. I will NEVER critic your choice to formula feed (if...

  18. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    OK FutureNurse now that you have agreed with me I should tell you, I am one of those wierdos that bf's till my kids are 3:chuckle . I am sure that you keep your personal feelings to yourself when...

  19. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I attended a CE class presented by Dr Hale a few years ago. The topic was Anti-depressants and the breastfeeding mother. He was wonderful! There was also a presnetation by Dee Kassing, IBCLC on...

  20. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Last semster I told a Psychology course and while talking about anti-despressants it was mentioned that they can lower libido. Nearly the whole class nodded in agreement! I...

  21. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Does your hospital use Hale for drug information?

  22. Breastfeeding questions

    hospitalstaph replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    And sadly, this is being given as a reason why a woman should not BF. Isn't this a reason why they should not be caring for an infant reguardless of the feeding method? Scary to imagine a drug...

  23. Bad Delivery

    hospitalstaph replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh I absolutely think that people should be able to choose how they give birth. I had to drive to another state (OK only 45 min away) to use a midwife. My requests were very minimal but the drs that...

  24. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    hospitalstaph replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, all I can say is I am good and ready to fast on Friday:) In fact, I am so grossed out that I could start today:)

  25. Bad Delivery

    hospitalstaph replied to gladtobeOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I took Bradley and used it with my last two. The instructor that I had was not at all "anti-medical". It was about making informed choices. I had wonderful births with the last two. The hospital...
