  1. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    vermonthiker replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Such a great point! Hospital food is awful enough for pts, the food offered to employees is worse! I know my local hospital has different junk food every Friday - make your own sundaes

  2. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    vermonthiker replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    We just had this discussion in school. I was never a smoker and remember as an aid when other aids would often go outside for smoking breaks. Sometimes the nurses would go too leaving me (at age 16)...

  3. Female Nursing Students Dont like me !

    vermonthiker replied to earthlovers123's topic in General Nursing

    Well that explains a little, however many of us change our values when we are adults. It's interesting how we preceive things based on our childhoods. My son always went to a female doctor and had a...

  4. I heard somewhere that flushing pills

    vermonthiker replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    All of the sudden the water I've been drinking is starting to taste funny. Yuck! We have a well, but I'm not sure it's any better.... I love the idea of recycling meds. What a great way to reduce...

  5. Non smoker working in a smoker's home

    vermonthiker posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm a pre-nursing student starting in Sept 05, and I'm also about to start a new job as an aide with a home health agency. I'm exicted about it, but my biggest concern is smoke filled homes. I get...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. Non smoker working in a smoker's home

    vermonthiker replied to vermonthiker's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for all of your replies. I totally agree that I don't have the right to tell people what do to in their own homes. That's why I'm so concerned about saying anything. Growing up my father...

  8. Vaccinations

    vermonthiker replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Pediatric

    All parents have to make informed decisions based on their own research. I choose to delay vaccinations and only had some vaccinations done, not all. If vaccines are so effective, why do so many...

  9. Kids home from school sick...could it be an opportunity?

    vermonthiker replied to javanurse2000's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I currently own my own family daycare, and I think it's a great idea! I agree that it may be tricky with different illnesses. I used to work in a daycare with an RN, and a "get well" room, but the...

  10. eating at the desk

    vermonthiker replied to dkarlin's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so hospitals expect the following: Nurses are allowed no breaks Nurses are not allowed to eat or drink at the desk, only during breaks in the cafeteria But there are no breaks, so nurses do not...

  11. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    vermonthiker replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

  12. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    vermonthiker replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    What is wrong with people? That is so wrong on so many

  13. How did you find out about allnurses?

    vermonthiker replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    I was actually looking for nursing horror stories :chuckle . I was reading a lot of websites designed to get more people into nursing, and I KNEW it wasn't as glamourous as these sites were making it...

  14. When circ's go bad...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I read that wrong the first time. I thought you wrote " I like guys memberes, period." Man is my head in the gutter today. :rotfl:

  15. Top 10 ER Visits

    vermonthiker replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    What's up with the vag bleeding??? During pregnancy or just getting a period and thought they'd let you know :rotfl:

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

    vermonthiker replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have two kids. I planned underwater births (didn't happen), I did have a midwife instead of a Dr., I homeschool them, I didn't circ them, I breastfed them for two years - first year on demand, no...

  17. Did you prefer daytime or evening clinicals?

    vermonthiker replied to wannabenursetx's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I'll have a choice, but I've always prefered working and going to school in the evenings/nights. Also I get free childcare from my husband during that time slot

  18. When circ's go bad...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    WOW!! That's amazing to me!!! I don't work in a hospital yet but I'd be curious to know about our local hospital. I'd say about 90% of my friends and relatives don't circ!! Maybe it's

  19. When circ's go bad...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wonder if this is sort of like hysterectomies for women (I sort of wonder if they are done a lot more than necessary by some docs). Yup, I wonder too, along with c-secs, episiotomies, etc etc

  20. When circ's go bad...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    From everything I've read, adults don't need to be circ'd later in life unless there's a major problem, and often even those circs are unnessacary. What's interesting to me is why so many people claim...

  21. When circ's go bad...

    vermonthiker replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm so glad that so many of you feel that routine circ is unnessacary. When my first son was born, my husband (himself not circ) was totally against it, so I left the decision up to him and we didn't...

  22. How long do you push?

    vermonthiker replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow I guess my nurses and midwife let me labor down then. I only pushed for less than 5 minutes with both my boys. (First labor 23 hours, second labor induced, only 10 hours). Midwife first time, back...
