  1. Novice Nurses

    nurse_wannabe replied to Tweety's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. My best friend's nightmare

    nurse_wannabe replied to Antikigirl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This situation is tragic on so many levels. Like Steph, I don't understand how this type of thing can happen in this day & age of reproductive freedom. Schools and parents need to include the...

  11. What is the #1 healthcare problem in the USA?

    nurse_wannabe posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I think most of us can agree that healthcare here in the good ol' U.S. of A is lacking in some areas. In fact, many think that we are facing a crisis. My question for you is, in your very own...

    nurse_wannabe posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi. I'm 38 wks. pregnant and miserably sick. It started Monday - I have achy ears, sore throat, a productive cough , a nose that is somehow both runny and congested at the same time, and shortness...

  13. Sudafed during pregnancy? Help, I'm miserable!

    nurse_wannabe replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you all for commiserating with me. I'm scheduled for C/S Thursday. I just hope I'm over this mess by then. I certainly don't want a hacking cough to go along with my abdominal incision!...

  14. Sad and confused

    nurse_wannabe replied to javanurse2000's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You absolutely did the right thing. I agree with medsurgnurse completely - they want someone complacent, not a boat-rocker with the patients' best interests in mind. It sounds like you are a great...

    nurse_wannabe replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's a very good idea. You probably already knew this, but I just looked up Afrin in my drug guide and it is exactly the same drug as Sudafed! I'm definitely going to pick some up if I decide to...

  17. Tylenol toxicity? How serious?? Please read!

    nurse_wannabe replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Emergency

    Yes, it is a terrible situation. I wonder why the hospital thinks it is good to keep a suicidal patient secluded from her family who loves her? It seems this is the time that she needs to be shown...

    Sorry, I have no clue about schools in Tennessee. You can visit the Tennessee forum here: https://allnurses.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=174 Good luck to

  19. What squicks you out?

    nurse_wannabe replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, well, this just solved my "to circumcise or not to circumcise" dilemma. :chuckle In fact, I'm now feeling quite queasy. LOL. The two things that really squick me are trying to empty the BSC when...

  20. Patients knowing medical lingo

    nurse_wannabe replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Angie. Of course, I'll only be able to attend one of the events. I wonder which it will be. :chuckle I guess graduation will have to wait until I get my RN! I'm definitely going to have to...

  24. Yelled at by NA for shaving pt.

    nurse_wannabe replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't think that the NA was consciously performing patient teaching per se. Since it is customarily the responsibility of the NA to perform personal hygiene, including shaving, she probably talked...

  25. Down Syndrome Help!

    nurse_wannabe replied to ShortyLPN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Hey, that's a great idea! I had a dry-erase board stuck to the fridge with certain chores listed, and how many "stars" each was worth, but it never worked. I think it would be much better if there...
