  1. Used as a job reference.

    Ok, my question is, why wasn't this nurse taken off the floor and given more training or had someone work with her on all her mistakes? She was inside her probationary period, after all. Instead of...
  2. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    Why am I hearing more and more of Dr.'s that ASK their patient's if they want to have a c-section instead of waiting and letting nature take it's course and baby comes naturally? I just don't get it!...

  7. Funny ways little kids describe how babies are born

    We have always tried to use the correct words for body parts to our children. As best as we could we explained to our four yr old where his baby sister was growing (uterus) and when asked, we told him...
  8. Disrespected daily by residents

    I'm not going to flame you, I see what you're saying, however, it comes down to plain old respect for people who are a different ethnicity. There are far better ways for a resident to call their nurse...
  9. Is my nursing school making me dumber?

    Good golly, sounds just like my nursing school
  10. Feels like a slap in the face...

    I know what you're feeling too. Pretty much this is what happened to me. I had two interviews and both went very well but I didn't get either. Turns out, both units had already chosen who they were...
  11. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    I remember lonnnng ago when I had my first, I was in labor for over 34 hours...I had an older Dr that knew I wanted to go natural. I'm a very petite woman, short and only going over 100 lbs when...
  12. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

  15. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    I have already tried with no luck. She's made up her mind she has family ready and willing to help out, which will be good for her and a young husband that works a lot. I'm praying all goes well for...
  16. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    My thoughts exactly!! Our brains are wired! :) My friend is very young and didn't even attend any kind of child birthing class to even know her options. She's simply tired of being pregnant and afraid...
  17. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    Fear of litigation over what? A healthy mom more than likely lady partslly delivering a normal, healthy baby? We've been doing it for centuries and it's more safe now than ever before. I still agree...
  18. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    I'm torn...I would love to work in L&D (babies are my first love, as in NICU, but advocating women/baby births/health is a close second!)...however, like you, I think I need to stay away from it...

  20. What money can get you.

    Money talks. Disgusting. It really is a shame though because all Daddy's coddling is setting this girl up for failure. What's she gonna do when she has a disagreement with her supervisor or a...
  21. Actors, singers, authors, comedians, etc...? If so, how did he/she treat you as their nurse? If you were "starstruck", how did you handle it? How did the hospital hide their identity? Did he/she bring...
