  1. we're pregnant

    JVanRN replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, I hate that one too. My husband is wonderful with our daughter and takes very good care of her. And she is just as much his responsibility as she is mine. Only thing he can't do that I can is...

  2. we're pregnant

    JVanRN replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't really mind "We're Pregnant" because my husband was there everystep of the way. He couldn't actually carry the baby, but he did what he could. However I have to nudge him and remind him that...

  3. Any of your preggy patients crave toxic things like PineSol?

    JVanRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I remember when I was pregnant I found the smell of gasoline, paint thinner, and markers appealing. I didn't sit there and sniff it or anything because I knew/know better, but for some reason it was...

  6. Pet Peeves

    JVanRN replied to waterfall99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Or the parents that treat thier kids like crap in utero then raise 10 different kinds of hell in the NICU because thier baby had a wet burp when you turned your back and now has a tiny bit of spittle...

  7. Heart Attack Grill (20/20 ABC show)

    JVanRN replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    This whole thing is so stupid. I think I would be more ashamed to eat at a place like that than to work there. (and I would be pretty darn embarrassed to work there). I don't know whats more...

  8. Medical terms you'd rather see changed....

    JVanRN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do

  9. Medical terms you'd rather see changed....

    JVanRN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care for the term "expired" either. It's not so much when medical professionals use it amongst themselves but I have seen nurses and doctors inform a family member that thier love one has...

  10. nurse & dr affair, what should I do?

    JVanRN replied to sandee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless it's personally affecting your abililty to do your job, then you should probably just mind your own business. If it's affecting the workplace (i.e, she's using her relationship with the doctor...

  11. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    JVanRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I didn't find nursing school to be as stressful as some of my classmates made it out to be. But that was THEIR individual experience, maybe it was that stressful to them. And of course some people...

  12. Is this Reportable

    JVanRN replied to DemrixRN2000's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I thought too. Our neonatologists have had to go back and add to medical records weeks after a baby is discharged. For example to document that they followed up with the family on an...

  13. Going to start looking for another job!

    JVanRN replied to banditrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is it policy that you must find your own replacement or are they just telling you that? Usually if I need to call in sick I will try to find a replacement just as a courtesy, but if I can't then I...

  14. MRSA at the umbilicus!!

    JVanRN replied to mercytech's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm still trying to figure out the need to put a security tag on the umbilicus. I'm just having a hard time picturing it. Why is this better as opposed to the ankle? What do they do when the...

  15. Death Penalty Anesthesia

    JVanRN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Zashagalka...you win at the internet. That is

  16. Death Penalty Anesthesia

    JVanRN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't say that. Ooops some how it must have picked me up as saying that. It showed my name in the quote box.

  17. Date MD's??

    JVanRN replied to mindyk04's topic in General Nursing

    And ugh yes... I can't tell you how many times I heard the "Oh now you can nab you a cute doctor..." upon graduating nursing school. First off that's not why I went to nursing school. Second, that's...

  18. Date MD's??

    JVanRN replied to mindyk04's topic in General Nursing

    I guess if I were single I wouldn't automatically dismiss a potential great person or chase after him because he was a doctor. I don't think the rules would be that much different than dating any...

  19. Death Penalty Anesthesia

    JVanRN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Okay you've expressed your opinion on this (several times) can you please drop it? It's not a "is death penalty the equivalent of abortion thread". Personally no I wouldn't do it (administer...

  20. What is ur average 2 week take home pay?

    JVanRN replied to chioma829's topic in General Nursing

    :roll

  21. Breastfeed or else

    JVanRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah what she said. I plan on breastfeeding my child but I also have to return to work, this will mean pumping and giving EBM. According to those standards I'm will not be giving my child the...

  22. Breastfeed or else

    JVanRN replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's nice to see all that support for breastfeeding...now I would like to see someone lobbying for better maternity leave and child care incentives so that it would be a little easier to support...

  23. Cussing Co-Workers

    JVanRN replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I'll just toss in my lame "I agree" here. I personally would ignore it if it's not directed at me, but cussing is unprofessional and offensive to some and shouldn't have to be tolerated in the...

  24. "CENTI"meter vs "SONO"meter

    JVanRN replied to itiswhatitis's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle Well I don't feel that strongly about it, but it does grate my nerves a little. I never really thought it sounded pretentious...I've just never really heard it pronounced that way outside of...

  25. What Level NICU are you at?

    JVanRN replied to Mags4711's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Level IIb describes us pretty well, but we keep mechanical vents for longer than 24 hours. We have babies with lines and intubated for over a week. If they get to a point where it seems like they...
