  1. What Freaks You Out?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't explain it, it just freaks me out! Now me, I live with 2 boys, so snot is nothin to me!

  2. not documented, not done. what does this mean?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to kmahoneyrn's topic in General Nursing

    All three! Even something that seems simple, that in and of itself probably doesn't need to be charted, you have to look at it in the long run. IF something bad happens, would this info be helpful?...

  3. Are all floor nurses rude to ER nurses?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Andy S.'s topic in Emergency

    No problem Jimminy! It's unfair of us to assume that just because our unit is busy, that someone else's is not. The anger just filters downward, and stops in ER & L&D. Can't we all just...

  4. What do you do to get past the 2am slump

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    Canoehead, I think I thought the same thing you're thinking about his avatar. I had to stare at it for awhile. I think it's a head banging drummer. Notice the drum sticks?

  5. New use for Tylenol?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to mattcastens's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of it being used for sleep nor do I find that it has that effect on myself. Like Matt, when I have an opportunity to sleep, I'm gone! I don't need any help in that department! I...

  6. What do you carry your pens, tape, scissors, etc in?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    AMEN! I secretly giggle to myself when I see nurses with tons of stuff holstered all over their body! I only carry the minimum, and I wish I could narrow that down a little! As for the pagers, ours...

  7. What do you do to get past the 2am slump

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Nursing

    I was lucky to have only worked nights for a max of about 6 months, but 3-4am was when my slump hit. I worked residential rehab at the time, so it was waaaaaaay quiet! I would wash my face &...

  8. Breaking rules: what about ETOH for DTs?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Rainagrey's topic in General Nursing

    The fact is, at some point, the individual is going to have to go through withdrawal. Yes, a bit of ETOH would stabilize them, but what about when that ETOH wears off? Then what? A little more...

  9. OB Physician Core Privileging: How many deliveries per year, per doctor??

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to layna's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmmm, that is a good question. We do about 4,500-5,000 deliveries a year, and we have 2 very large OB groups that are responsible for at least half of that. But then there are other docs that I...

  10. Admissions at shift change

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to kahann's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle Yup!

  11. Allnurses.com history?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    Every once and awhile, my hubby will ask something like, "But can you do _______ on your board?" To which I answer, "Yeeeeeessssss..." And he replies, "Oh. Well, I guess you got a pretty good set up...

  12. What do you carry your pens, tape, scissors, etc in?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Did you recently change it Cascadians? I know it's always been hard to tell exactly what it is, but I swear it really used to be different! Or is it some sort of illlusion? Or am I just crazy?...

  13. What do you carry your pens, tape, scissors, etc in?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In my right pocket I carry 1 red pen and 2 black pens, and my scissors and hemos that are connected by an allergy band (got tired of always losing one or the other, now I never lose either of them)....

  14. Pity Floating CNA's :-(

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to mario_ragucci's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be afraid to be forward about being there. Sometimes I think that they'll let you sit there just to perpetuate the "they don't do anything when they float here" myth. I hate to float, and it...

  15. RN to MD....possible or not?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to zinacef's topic in General Nursing

    lmao! :rotfl:

  16. Allnurses.com history?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    I'm gonna start working out to have glutes for just that occasion!

  17. Do any fem. nurses here have Stay at Home husbands/SOs ?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. Rusty, your wife is a very lucky woman :)

  18. Do any fem. nurses here have Stay at Home husbands/SOs ?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. In fact, sometimes I secretly envy you for being able to do things I can't. But I wouldn't give it up for the world. My day will come. No one, EVER, in this thread said that poeple without...

  19. Allnurses.com history?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! Dirty ba**ards! Don't they know how much nurses love potlucks?

  20. Do any fem. nurses here have Stay at Home husbands/SOs ?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a problem with a man being a stay at home dad and the woman being the breadwinner, if that's what both parties are agreeable to. See, I have potential to bring home more money than my...

  21. Allnurses.com history?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    WAY COOL! Now if I could just order pizza from this site, I would never have to leave! Now let me find my Mastercard...

  22. Gotta good "poop" story? I do.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

    colleen - I know that when we're online we often use the phrase "LOL". But never, ever in my life, have I ever actually been LAUGHING OUT LOUD until now!!!!! It took guts to share that story!...

  23. Allnurses.com history?

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to OBNURSEHEATHER's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the info Brian! This is the best site ever! Sometimes, in my sleep, I can see "TODAY'S ACTIVE THREADS". But we really need an online store!!!!

  24. obituaries

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to shannonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sucked big time. I had discharged him that day. Walked him out to his car with his Holter monitor. He hugged me and his wife joked that he was getting a big thrill hugging such a young girl. It was...

  25. Gotta good "poop" story? I do.

    OBNURSEHEATHER replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

    I work with babies, so all of my poop stories are pretty mundane. Did find a cool smiley though!
