    I had tried other pills as well. I have never heard of it before either, but I figured I 'd give it a

    Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo Woes

    Super_RN replied to Super_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had my appointment today and I didn't feel so awkward when my doc told me that it is common and he sees it all the time. Whew! Made me feel normal! I knew it was basically a horrendous form of...

    funniest thing you saw a nurse do.......

    Super_RN replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, now if this happened to me, I would probably vomit, but it was hilarious because it wasn't me... One night another nurse and I were cleaning up a disasterous code brown (patient was sedated, on...

    Organ Donation

    Super_RN replied to missboo622's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did an ethical paper on this not too long ago. I suggest that you find journal articles relating to it and your paper will appear much stronger. I found that the main reason organs are not donated...

    RN's that dont like showering? Whats with that?

    Super_RN replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students

    I worked in a LTC as an aide for a year and a half before I recieved my RN license. It was the hardest job I ever had. Most of the nurses helped as much as they could, but they were completely...

    Overbearing pt family

    Super_RN replied to nursestacy73's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That is what I was trying to think of! Thank you, because it was bugging the heck out of me! :)

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The only word that comes to mind is "OOOOOWWWWWW"!!!!!

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, thank you, it's comforting! It may sound stupid for me to say this, but when I do have children I want to have them lady partslly. Knowing that women smaller than me can push out 10# babies...

    My First Interview

    Super_RN replied to Chicklet2's topic in Nursing Career

    Dress appropriately! No mini skirts, no tight pants, no low cleavage...I have a skirt / suit jacket outfit that I wear when need be. Make sure you look clean (I know that may sound dumb, but it...

    Overbearing pt family

    Super_RN replied to nursestacy73's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Blow drying the pubic hair, checking for impaction....what the heck is going to come next? Is the resident unable to speak up for herself? I have had my share of "problem families", but never to...

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so sorry that your first experience was so horrendous. Your 2nd daughter's birth is definitely an inspiration! Congratulations! :)

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Heehee! My point exactly and I hope my moment is years away! It will be, with precautions!

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're right, I don't know, but I cannot IMAGINE it happening. As I said before, I am far from a L&D nurse, even further from a mother. I don't know about these things and I have no experience...

    Open mouth, insert foot!

    Super_RN replied to Super_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I'm glad I am not the only guilty of that! A few weeks ago I told a patient that her son was in the waiting room and would be back in a few minutes...she said, "Son? I have 3 daughters. That's...

    Shift change/report problems (long)

    Super_RN replied to trudlebug's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think a lot of time nurses don't follow through because they are afraid of losing their job or being "marked". :)

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Probably...like I said, I'm definitely not a L & D nurse...far from it. Also not a mother yet, so I am very unfamiliar with the choices and tests available to determine certain things! Things...

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, I have not decided I cannot give birth lady partslly. I want to, I am just a big sissy and the mere thought of the pain in childbirth makes me run for shelter...a good indicator that I am not...

    Use of techs (UAPs) in ICU/CCU

    Super_RN replied to TamaraRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    We don't have techs in our ICU. Sometimes, if we are really slammed, we have them, but they end up bored. We are so used to doing everything ourselves, vitals, i&o's, turning, cleaning...it's...

    Shift change/report problems (long)

    Super_RN replied to trudlebug's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I think you are being too harsh. Trudlebug was simply asking for help on what to do, and yes, analyzing the previous shift. I am sorry, but if an order is written at 1600, then it should be...

    Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

    Super_RN replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a L & D nurse, but I thought I would add my 2 cents. I don't even have children yet, but when I do...I was 10 lbs. 12 oz. when I was born, my brothers and sisters were all over 9 #. My...

    filter needles - policy

    Super_RN replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    I always use a filter needle when drawing from an ampule, hospital policy and personal preference. This may sound like a stupid question, but what difference would it make if it were IM versus IV?...
