  1. celebrity deliveries

    hospitalstaph replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have a problem with them making millions for playing ball. After all they wouldn't earn that if people didn't pay to watch them, and people do pay to watch them. The problem I have is when...

  2. Do you ever have good days as a nurse?

    hospitalstaph replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for starting this thread! I am in my junior year of RN and am reading Nursing Against the Odds (not a good combination of things to do at the same time). All of your post remind me of what I...

  3. Taking a child off life support

    hospitalstaph replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    This boy was just taken off of life support in the past hour. A doctor from outside of KUMed agreed with the hospital and the mother agreed to take him off of life support.

  4. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    hospitalstaph replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know that this does not answer your question.....but, unless you own a hospital grade pump you should not sell it. Pump N Style's, Isis, etc are not multiple user pumps, they are considered single...

  5. Taking a child off life support

    hospitalstaph replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    I find this to be such a sad case. However, the mother did not report that the child was doing these things until the hospital declared him brain dead. I am sure that she is so sad that she is...

  6. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    I know there are pros and cons on both ends. I'm leaning toward PV just because I'm in baby! At least I can work as a nurse and complete the RN later. It's just time. I hear there isn't a wait for...

  7. Penn Valley / National American University????

    hospitalstaph replied to butterfly88's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck on whatever you choose. I start NAU in June. I was attending Penn Valley for two years, finished all my prereqs and then some and was still told that it would be Jan '09 (and with a 3.8...

  10. Nursing Shortage

    hospitalstaph replied to olichi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I was just talking to a friend today that graduated from the policy academy last week. There were over 700 applicants and only 54 spots. The nursing program that I was just accepted into had over...

  11. kids wreak of smoke...ethics question

    hospitalstaph replied to narnar's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that literature would be perfect in this situation. If approached verbally, this mother may (and likely would) be defensive, but if she has something to read later she may be more receptive...

  12. HIV&lactation in US:question

    hospitalstaph replied to nsnvbella's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The WIC program does indeed provide some formula, however not all the formula that a baby needs for the entire first year of life. The estimate that I have heard is that once the baby reaches about...

  13. for preceptors.

    hospitalstaph replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad that this thread was started. I have worked in lactation (outside of the hospital) for 9 years and have an interest in pharmacology, so I have taken many, many CE classes. I also have a...

  14. counting days as birth control tool

    hospitalstaph replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    OHG!!! Too funny! I will have to remember that one for church tomorrow:lol2:

  15. counting days as birth control tool

    hospitalstaph replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but this Catholic calls it the "unrealiable method":) I recommend the Creighton Method instead.

  16. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

    hospitalstaph replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know what is so sad about this from a patients point of view? When hubby was hospitalized, one person that really stands out in my mind was the man that delivered his meal everyday. He was so...

  17. Opinions on J pouch procedure

    hospitalstaph replied to bethin's topic in Gastroenterology

    I have heard that Dr Fazio at Cleveland is very good. I am still alittle confused about your diagnosis. Do you have UC or Crohn's? I believe that in about 10-15% of the cases, they just really don't...

  18. Public Breastfeeding

    hospitalstaph replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to have my milk jump out of my breast and land in your food:rotfl: I am, however, sure that some women have wet their pants laughing in a food court. How dare they urinate in public, and...

  19. Public Breastfeeding

    hospitalstaph replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I feel so at peace knowing that you are on staff!!! Bless you!!!

  20. Hello I am taking a pole

    hospitalstaph replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I understood what you were asking for and that's all that matters. Sometimes I'm in such a hurry to post that I spell horribly! Besides, how may of us have read a post that made no sense at all...

  21. ? About not breastfeeding

    hospitalstaph replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I honestly think that pushing a mother to BF is wrong if her mind is made up, but the scenerio that you talk about is what I most often hear. As I have said before we walk a fine line with lactation...

  22. I don't think I understand pain management.

    hospitalstaph replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband saw a lot of this in the hospital. He had his colon removed after being hospitalized for a month. By the time he had the surgery, he was having such a hard time finding anything that...

    hospitalstaph replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also thank you

  24. Newborn PKU: Heelstick vs Venipuncture?

    hospitalstaph replied to Krojas21's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh, I didn't mean that you were making her feel guilty!!! I ment the fact that she felt pressured to have the test done at one hour, instead of waiting, as if the second choice were somehow...
