    nursey_girl replied to RN2Bn2006's topic in General Nursing

    nursey_girl replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    nursey_girl replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I will tell you this... Our shiney soon to be new hospital had a nice planning committee to help design and plan our units. (It was all for a cutesy show.) None of our ideas, including physician imput...

    nursey_girl replied to Sue Damonas's topic in General Nursing

    nursey_girl replied to WannaBRN4's topic in General Nursing

    nursey_girl replied to sweetpea839's topic in General Nursing

  10. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    nursey_girl replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I work in labor and delivery. A lot of "things" are exposed there and a lot of modesty goes out the window. It's still my patients option to maintain as much modesty as possible, and more that a few...

    nursey_girl replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Off the top... I'm a lousy patient. My new nickname after my hyst was " THE BEAST". I remember being right out of nursing school, and working as a new nurse on a med surg unit. I was assigned a doc...

    nursey_girl replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    nursey_girl replied to MagicalThinking's topic in General Nursing

  16. My husband works for me- is this ever going to work?

    nursey_girl replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like if it's working out for you, him, and the majority of staff... so be it. Let things be and be happy! If he's the peach you and the majority thinks he is, the others will either be won over,...

  17. new med order

    nursey_girl replied to nursey_girl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    nursey_girl replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a busy L and D unit. I remember one time we had this gal... (who felt like she needed to be a pampered princess) ask that we shave her legs. She actually expected us to do it, and was quite...

  19. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    nursey_girl replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I'm agreeing with these previous statements. I think you hurt her feelings, and I'm doubting she realized how hard she punched you, be it playful of not. It was not acceptable behavior, but neither is...

  21. new to site

    nursey_girl replied to gentlespirit's topic in General Nursing

    I feel burnt out every other week it seems. I do know what its like to have a marriage fall through. That alone seems to drain everything from a person. I know that I went through a devastating period...

  22. Epidural management in labor

    nursey_girl replied to Mythreeangels's topic in General Nursing

    The particular facility primarily catered to VIP patients. That was the idea anyway. I guess having a higher social class bought these special priveledges, but indeed bought a lot of unnecessary...

  23. Epidural management in labor

    nursey_girl replied to Mythreeangels's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in a facility that placed the caths in the Am prior to induction, and then turned the pumps on later in the day. Seemed to work great, but I did notice a definite increase in our section rate...

    nursey_girl replied to Mythreeangels's topic in General Nursing

    Our epidurals are totally managed by our anesthesia department which is primarily CRNAs, esp. at night. We do turn them off, we can turn them on, we even pull the caths, etc. Most of us nurses play...

  25. Do you give up your seat for a doctor?

    nursey_girl replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and No. All situations are different. Our docs are great and never expects it, but are appreciative if we do. I have an issue that seems to frustrate me more and more. I hate it when the floor...
