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

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

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

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really think this Lotus birth is just a "fringe" thing. The general consensus seems to be "ewwwww" and "Why?". Let's hope anyway. I don't know what I would to if a parent insisted upon it. I wonder...

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "With your permission I'll take you to a family scene, 24 years after my first perfectly natural home birth... My now grown daughter Déjà is in a panic. "I've lost my purse! Mother help me. I'll die...

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

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My older children have blessed me with stories of their lives before birth, and have been unanimously in favour of not cutting the cord- especially Emma, who remembered the unpleasant feeling of...

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

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    :chuckleI've heard of not cutting the cord till it's done pulsating. I think that is neat...but leaving it attached to the whole placenta till it falls off by itself?!?!? Wouldn't it start to smell?...

  8. Where do your Miscarrages admit into

    JVanRN replied to JHUBRAIN's topic in General Nursing

    I think they get admitted to our GYN Med/surg floor. The only patients on this floor ate those who have had some sort of GYN surgery (C section, Hystorectomy...) The nurses there have experience in...

  9. What does STAT mean to your Lab?

    JVanRN replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    That's the way we do it to. And in NICU we have to draw our own labs (not so with the rest of the hospital). If its stat I prefer to do it myself

  10. Should all nursing students be required to be a CNA for one year?

    JVanRN replied to SophieMae's topic in General Nursing

    No I don't think it should be required that all prospective nursing students work as CNA before going to nursing school. One reason being it may not be financially plausible for them at the time (it...

  12. What other careers did you consider before nursing?

    JVanRN replied to SNURSEG_2B's topic in General Nursing

  14. Preemie/NICU-isms

    JVanRN replied to mermom's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I know it's not a new term but I remember when I refered to one of my babies as a "feeder grower" and my husband thought that was the funniest thing...he was just ROTFL. He said it reminded him of...

  16. Clients?

    JVanRN replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    The word "Client" kind of reminds me of an instructor that would not let us use the word "diapers" when refering to adult diapers...we had to say "briefs" or "Incontinet briefs".I understand the...

  20. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

    JVanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I think that NO hair on a man is almost as scary as too much. But at least even too much is natural, completly hairless is not natural for most men. It's really funny how we as a society are when it...

  23. Article re: tx of Nurse in Glamour mag

    JVanRN replied to catinthebox's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly...that's what I didn't like about the article. It made it seem as though the nurse simply didn't feel like giving her the room and only after Ms. Yoffe "set her straight" did the nurse comply....
