  2. that song that bashes nurses

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to galenight's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... it would be nice. But they're just lyrics. I've sung along to alot of things I don't necessarily agree with if it's catchy enough. Also, if I remember correctly, the song is from the...

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to l.rae's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Not the same thing, but along the same lines..... I was put in a position once that I wasn't comfortable with. We have a post partum unit and nursery. We also have a...

  6. Nightshift Headaches

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started working nights, I woke with lots of headaches. Even now that I sleep at night, if I don't have ideal sleeping conditions, I'll wake up with a headache. We put a ceiling fan in...

  7. Not a "people person" - problem?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to vettech's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about it much. I never used to think of myself as much of a people person, and I think nursing has helped to bring that part of me out more. It's puts you in really personal...

  8. School and Housework!

  10. ideas for special projects

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to nell's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow Nell, that is unique! We usually have a bili light or 2 going in the normal newborn nursery, and that does seem to be a concern of most of the parents. What a cute idea!

  11. cops 'n nurses

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to rachel h's topic in General Nursing

    I think that nursing and law enforcement are two very noble, but non-respected, shat upon professions, and we're probably drawn to each other for that reason. KC's hubby is a cop.... she'll have...

  12. Question about xfer of pt from ldr to pp

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to indynurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Depends on whether they're a vag or a c/s. A vag will come to us about 2 hours after delivery via w/c. They won't necessarily have voided, but they will have been up to the bathroom and shown peri...

  13. semi private vs. private rooms in icu

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to samrn32's topic in MICU, SICU

    Every patient in every hospital everywhere, should have the privilage of a private room. Period.

  14. Itchy Scratchy Scrubs

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to amblessing's topic in General Students

    My absolute favorite scrubs are the ones I steal from the hospital that are completely broken in! When I buy scrubs, I notice they take alot of washing to break in. Maybe it does have something to do...

  16. Does your company pay for CPR certification?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to melissa24's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, we have what they call "anniversary day." Every year during the month you were hired, you do all those crappy tests and recerts. Every other year it includes our CPR. It runs 2-4...

  17. Question-how far do you travel for work daily?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    I travel about 10-15 minutes, one way.

  18. postpartum mother/baby unit staff ratio

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Bessie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why is it that dayray? At my hospital also, the nursery nurses seem too quick to give bottles. I'm not sure what it is about the nursery, but that seems to be an easy habit for them. It does...

  20. Is pediatric oncology a fun career?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to hottie_from_downunder's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey, I thought it needed repeating again!

  21. postpartum mother/baby unit staff ratio

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Bessie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, 3 is supposed to be our ideal, 4 max. But more often than not, we have 4. And we're talking primary care. Everything. We don't utilize aids (like they're supposed to be utilized) on our...

  22. What Freaks You Out?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    When there is lack of intestinal movement, or complete blockage... it's gotta come out somewhere

    Yeah, Dark Half! That's one of the few King novels I haven't read. I started it, just couldn't finish it...

  24. 200 lb MONSTER!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Furball's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of it, but don't remember all of the details, so I'm not gonna talk about it and end up sounding like an a**. I can't remember which parts were real and which parts I got from a Stephen...

  25. 200 lb MONSTER!

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Furball's topic in General Nursing
