  1. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    i agree we as americans, as a whole, do overeat, but that is different than good nutrition or the food pyramid. and i DO know alot of females that are bone thin and skip breakfast, have a VERY small...

  2. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    i agree it is far more likely to affect HER health, BUT.....according to what i learned in nursing school (textbook) the mother SHOULD...increase her caloric intake by 500 cal, her protein intake must...

  3. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    like i said, commercials for formula already state "breast milk is best" so what good would putting labels on formula cans do! plus, what's next? are we going to require soda companies to place a...

  4. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    jb2u replied to lmf2006's topic in General Nursing

    first, i'd just like to say that i hope you are not going to base whether you become a nurse on "do drs really look down on nurses?". second, as a nursing student, i really don't know, but i would...

  5. I'd Rather Work Alone

    jb2u replied to SkateBetty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    it is my understanding that the ANA standardized the certification for cna's (a money making decision,i'm sure). so maybe if all nurses would write the ANA and ask for tougher standards to become a...

  6. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    i think you are stating what alot of others were trying to state "there is more to a study then just the "findings" of that study. i am curious and by no means trying to be "smart", but are you this...

  7. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    thanks, but i am going to stay way, way, WAY (oops there goes those caps again) away from L&D/postpartum. clinical was enough for me! this thread just got my attention because my wife chose not to...

  8. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    wouldn't it be appropriate to say "it is perfectly fine to bottle feed if that is your choice, but as your nurse i want you to be completely informed first...did you know that studies suggest that...

  9. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    thanks i really appreciate that. i am 31 but i am an "old" 31 (not too net savvy), i don't know all the net etiquette. i've heard the "all caps = yelling thing" but that is not what i mean (for...

  10. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    again my apologies to anyone that takes offense to my "caps." i have done this on all my post anywhere on this board to place emphasis on the words as i say them not to mean "yelling" or the like....

  11. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    actually i was apologizing to you if i came off that way. and i used caps to emphasize the words not to offend you. plus i said that i can be presuaded to change my mind that's not too self-righteous....

  12. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    i was not trying to put words in your mouth...my whole post was not directed at you. please don't take offense. the part about your kids and inferior food was just to say that you make choices as a...

    what a wonderful post from a wonderful

  14. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    MLOS, i agree with you. it must be terribly difficult as a woman to be expected to be super mom AND super worker. add to that, people making women feel BAD about using formula. LOVE is not just giving...

  15. Breastfeed or else

    jb2u replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    o.k., so i read the article and it seems to state...breast feeding CAN, MAY, SEEMS to decrease various diseases.....even Dr. Kramer stated "It can't do all of the things that are being claimed for...

  16. How did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    jb2u replied to lmf2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i read a book by echo heron. it really interested me, she wrote about her experiences as a nurse (good and bad parts). it took me until i was 29 to actually go to school for nursing. i am now 31 and...

  17. I'd Rather Work Alone

    jb2u replied to SkateBetty's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SkateBetty, first i am very sorry to hear about your situation. i know it must be hard trying to manage total patient care. that is why good cna's are SO valuable! i've posted many times on my...

  18. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    jb2u replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    maybe he already slid over to being a PA i think it is in how you see it.....urine - the body's ability to excrete and regulate waste (wonderful!), BM - the body's ability to excrete and regulate...

  19. Right for nursing?

    jb2u replied to adh_09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i believe the most important aspect of nursing is the bedside manner. the technical stuff can be learned, but i believe, for the most part, you either have a good bedside manner or you don't. i think...

    jb2u replied to klar26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    klar26, you brought D's to B's....that is an accomplishment!!! if you really want to be a nurse then NEVER stop....apply to more than one school, you can take an lpn program (some are easier to get...

  22. female dr. male pt.

    jb2u replied to gth's topic in General Nursing

    the answer is the double standard! YES, more men are sexual predators and more women are accusers (SOME, if only a few, are false claims). so, having a male MD bring in a female assistant would...
