  1. "Pre-requisite" of being a labor and delivery nurse/midwife-being a mom?

    guest64485 replied to Bluebell.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sure, its beneficial for the nurse to have personal experience as a patient in the area where you work. Having intimate knowledge of what the patient is going through (obviously every patient...

  2. Question Of The Day!

    guest64485 replied to Theor23's topic in General Nursing

    As much as is possible, do not trust/rely on anyone else(including family) with things that are very important to

  3. Pierce County, Washington nurses suing over mandatory flu shots

    guest64485 replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    "several smaller religious sects, most notably Christian Scientists and the Amish, oppose vaccination on religious grounds ... Religious communities — particularly Christian Science, Amish,...

  4. Pierce County, Washington nurses suing over mandatory flu shots

    guest64485 replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, it is surprising that per the article, these medical reasons didn't give them the ability to opt-out. (they state there is a new review board in place now for this). This doesn't make much...

  5. RN for 3-5 years experience

    guest64485 replied to H233's topic in General Students

    Why not write out your questions here, and then whoever wants to answer them

  6. Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    guest64485 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    Disappointing that asking for compassion for someone in an uncomfortable situation is 'dramatics'. You never really know the full story of what someone else is going

  7. Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    guest64485 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about what you said to her, I'm talking about what you specifically said

  8. Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    guest64485 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    You continue to ignore my point that your toddler comment was highly insulting. Your use of caps that she was grown only makes it worse. People are still human beings in need of compassion even when...

  9. Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    guest64485 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    What I said holds valid. I never mentioned that you said anything about bleeding, but used that as a further example that these are embarrassing situations that people go through and compassion is...

  10. What can I (we) do? RANT

    guest64485 replied to Lev's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    No, it doesn't. In case you missed it, she also wrote: . This clearly speaks to lack of staffing. Its this "blame the nurse" attitude along with widespread understaffing that makes working...

  11. Why do we not get paid for lunch even if we never get to take one?

    guest64485 replied to leekaye's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you gave her a lot of support. Your 'toddler' line really bothers me. I had a fellow student pee herself in class once, have peed on myself for a medical reason, and have had experiences...

  12. manual or electronic BPs in your clinic?

    guest64485 replied to SHGR's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I work in specialty where only large BP abnormalities really 'matter' to us. I love using the dynamap because I can keep talking to the patients while its working, so it saves me time and keeps...

  13. HIPAA/pharmac

    guest64485 replied to sassyann85's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    There is no violation. She is your patient and you are calling related to her current treatment. I have called pharmacies on patients countless times while working both inpatient and outpatient....

  14. difference in degrees

    Many hospitals offer financial programs to assist RNs towards getting their

  15. difference in degrees

    guest64485 replied to skbella's topic in General Nursing

    Its generally much cheaper to get an associates than get an accelerated

  16. Piloting discharge nurse on med/tele floor

    guest64485 replied to Inquiringminds's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That's strange, I wonder why they can't make those calls? At my facility, when an admit nurse is available, the ER gives report directly to the admit nurse who fully assumes their care and completes...

  17. Piloting discharge nurse on med/tele floor

    guest64485 replied to Inquiringminds's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with nowim that discharge nurses are not the best use of resources. When I've had random nurses do discharges for me, oftentimes they need to come to me to clarify one thing or another, and I...

  18. Why do you think nurses leave the profession?

    guest64485 replied to Nacki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Brekka, just an FYI, I've been on these boards for a decade and lindarn has been one of the most passionate promoters of action I have seen in this community (I know you've been here for years as...

  19. pregnant and thinking about resignation

    guest64485 replied to praise god's topic in General Nursing

    I would not put in writing/resignation letter that you are quitting due to health reasons. You can verbally state this to your manager if you want, but don't give the reason in your letter....

  20. Where Do I Start?

    guest64485 replied to erica.andrews4721's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, you can go to any college which has a nursing program (tons do so you shouldn't have a problem finding one). You don't have to get a bachelors degree, you can become a RN with an associates(you...

  21. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    guest64485 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    At the risk of spawning more replies that have nothing to do with what I'm writing, I think its humorous that you, wtbcrna, quoted me a meta-analysis which states "However, these results should be...

  22. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    guest64485 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a quote from your study As I expected, and as this study shows, you continue to argue a point I've never been talking about. 90% of what you are writing has no application to the point I've...

  23. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    guest64485 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I went on a different computer, using Chrome instead of Firefox, and it still gives me the warning for that site. You sure have some axe to grind. The foreskin is a masturbatory aid. You are saying...

  24. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    guest64485 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Your link brings up a warning on my firefox that it is an untrusted site. Since I can't read that, I'll just respond to the rest. If by sexual function you mean desire, ability to have an erection,...

  25. CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    guest64485 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    You're ignoring what I said. I said its easier to masturbate if you are uncircumcised because the foreskin provides a gliding effect (so no lubricant needed). You've provided no rationale against...
