  1. Grandmother w/ alzheimers - Malnourishment question

    FutureNrse replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    When I was growing up, we cared for my great uncle at home, then my grandma, and finally my grandpa. From 1983 to 1995, we had elderly relatives in our home. My uncle had cancer, and as he...

  2. How to give bad news

    FutureNrse replied to FutureNrse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're welcome :) I'm just glad that I got it right. Your initial post showed me that I was looking at the problem the wrong way, probably because of the circumstances involved with me sister. She...

  3. Youngest labor patient?

    FutureNrse replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we're the minority everywhere. I have only met one other teen parent who really had her act together. Actually, she was better at parenting than many adults I know. From what I've seen, a lot...

  4. Youngest labor patient?

    FutureNrse replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had children young. After reading these posts about 11 and 12 year olds, my own 15 doesn't seem so bad anymore. I tell my kids, and others, that while I wouldn't do anything differently if I had a...

  5. How to give bad news

    FutureNrse replied to FutureNrse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think she meant that she supports it either. I think she meant that if a parent has false hope, there is no need to beat it out of them. You've given them the facts, that there is no hope, the...

  6. migraine faker at the ED!

    FutureNrse replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    Its one of those damned if you do, damned if you don't things. You may get sued for not adequately treating pain, but you may get sued if you contribute to a patient's addiction. So I just tend to...

  7. What can we do to improve working conditions in Nursing homes?

    FutureNrse replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Then write again...and again...and again... Seriously, it takes perseverence. Organize a letter writing campaign. You can write a form letter of your own, outlining the major problems that you want to...

  8. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    FutureNrse replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!! You woulda thought that the person who posted the other definition woulda ummm...read it first?

  9. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    FutureNrse replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    How awful for you to hear that and be unable to do anything. Some parents really should be horsewhipped. When I worked for child protective services, I often supervised visits between parents and...

  10. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    FutureNrse replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean, just goes to show ya...we have to many rights in this country. Some might defend all of our rights to the last dying breath but when everyone is allowed to do anything, anywhere...

  11. Positive for Barbiturates

    FutureNrse replied to verock's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The hospital I gave birth at didn't need consent. I found out after the fact that they tested me because I had initially wanted to try a home birth, and when I was told that the hospital, and doctor...

  12. Frustrations !

    FutureNrse replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    In the schools my kids have attended they haven't even been lucky enough to have a full-time nurse. I was shocked when I heard that one school only had a nurse one day a week. A nurse need to be there...

  13. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Absolutely. YOU are the professionals, the baby was placed in your care, therefor, YOU should make those decisions, not the parents. On the other hand, they are the parents, so any choices that can...

  14. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with you completely. No matter what anyone says on this topic, the idea of older children breastfeeding is very disgusting to me. It passes the point of being a normal, natural thing, to being...

  15. Nurses Will Eat Anything

    FutureNrse replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you made this post because I've been thinking about baking some special goodies to take to my PCPs office on my next visit. My doc and all of his staff have been so great to me and I just...

  16. Quick: anyone who has a child with dental bridgework (aka a fake tooth), question

    FutureNrse replied to mitchsmom's topic in General Nursing

    While I've never seen one on a child so young, I do remember my sister having one when she was 7 and it looked very natural, no gap at all. This dentist sounds as if she's giving you the run around...

  17. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    FutureNrse replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you when it comes to the kids who are in charge of the parents. I witnessed several cases of it today at the dentist's office. I took my 3 year old in for an appointment and it was a very...

  18. Positive for Barbiturates

    FutureNrse replied to verock's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just a few days ago I posted a story about something similar happening to me a few years ago. I was informed that I had barbituates and antidepressants in my system, even though I knew I had taken...

  19. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you! I thought that I was the only one sitting here thinking " Why is this an issue? Take that baby away from

  20. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    *********************************** Also wanted to add that my NICU doesn't do cup, spoon, or finger feedings. It's breast, bottle, NG, or nothing. In six years, 100% of the hyperbili re-admit...

  21. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When I wrked in social services, I hated when I'd have to go to the hospital to pick up babies who were born with drugs in thier little systems. It was terrible and heartbreaking to see how they...

  22. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sorry but I cannot agree with your thoughts on this matter. I'm sure that if you looked hard enough you could find some supposed expert who says it's okay to BF until the child graduates high school,...

  23. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with your feelings on this. I think that 3 and a half is far to old to be breastfeeding. We don't condone giving a child a bottle at that age, or infant formula, so I don't understand...

  24. Breastfeeding questions

    FutureNrse replied to t2000JC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You are 100% right. Deegale, however has many of her facts

  25. Triage Nightmare!

    FutureNrse replied to acutecarenp's topic in Emergency

    Good for you! I hope someone lets this guy know that you really saved his life. I'm sure he'd love to thank you, and I bet that praise would feel good. :balloons:
