  2. Pts paying for night nursery care??

    PetsToPeople replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't "like" this post enough! I love mother/baby nursing but I could NEVER work on a hospital OB floor, and sad to say midwives are not allowed to practice around here. I could not stand my...

  3. This made me mad when I saw it.

    PetsToPeople replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, I'm not surprised...and the other poster is probably right, bet there will be people applying. It can't be for a CNA or MA, the post says four year degree, and not only that they are asking for...

  4. Pts paying for night nursery care??

    PetsToPeople replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    PetsToPeople replied to mommyrn06's topic in School

  8. The War On Fat

    PetsToPeople replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

  9. The War On Fat

    PetsToPeople replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

  10. The War On Fat

    PetsToPeople replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    If you pull up an old but interesting thread and comment on it there is always someone to say "why are you on this thread it's old!" But then you start your own thread and someone has to say there...

  12. Hospice and Full Code

    PetsToPeople replied to WittySarcasm's topic in General Nursing

  14. Midwife prescription privileges

    PetsToPeople replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Washington Nursing

    PetsToPeople replied to cateyes202227's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  16. pt with MRSA in sputum ambulating in hallway with no mask

    PetsToPeople replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    You said yourself that if you found the pt in the hallway w/o a mask you would take him to his room...nursing programs have specific vocabulary for that and it's called "isolation" and "restraint"....

    PetsToPeople replied to unsaint77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Obvious signs of death include dependent lividity aka livor mortis (20min-3hrs), rigor mortis (1-3 hrs post death)...anyone think of other examples? Possibly obviously low temperature that is felt by...

  18. My TCU CPR policy

    PetsToPeople replied to unsaint77's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    PetsToPeople replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

  23. RNs being drafted during World War 3

    PetsToPeople replied to Laboratorian's topic in Activism, Healthcare
