    Gabie Baby posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi, does anyone do this? What are your primary job duties? What type of facility are you working in? Thanks for any

  3. HR 5688 Act

    Gabie Baby replied to lydiasmom's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is merely another attempt, in a long series of attempts, by doctors to try to rid the world of nurse anesthetists. It's about protecting docs' income. The title CRNA clearly informs the patient...

  4. please vote--change career mid life?

    Gabie Baby replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she's horrible. I don't know her well enough to figure out whether or not she's horrible. She's probably an ok sort but I am amazed that she thinks Nursing pays well, first off, and...

    Gabie Baby replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    I don't dislike dieticians, quite the opposite, actually. I have never had any problem with a dietician. My problem is with you thinking Nursing pays well and that Nursing is about the money. You...

  6. ER didnt treat our resident......

    Gabie Baby replied to tatgirl's topic in General Nursing

    So you read into the OP something that was not there, you assumed other behavior at the ER, too. No, Meow, you are definitely not (not "probably", as opposed to "probly" not) writing for your thesis....

  7. just a little question...

    Gabie Baby replied to moosenurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to keep distant from every human feeling when, after all, you are human. If you were particularly close, you could, I think, send the family a card or even go to the funeral. I guess you...

  8. Re-training to become a nurse--is it worth the sacrifice?

    Gabie Baby replied to GraceNotes's topic in General Nursing

    No one can really answer this for you. You are wise to consider all the pros and cons. I will pray for God to guide you. If you do go for it, you will have about 12 or 16 years to work before you...

  9. Getting Paid $$ for End-of-Shift Overtime?

    Gabie Baby replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    You can organize your work only so much. Sometimes there is simply more to do than at other times. Sometimes the work can simply not be fitted into one's scheduled hours. It just infuriates me when...

  11. Experienced Nurses! Hardened heart?

    Gabie Baby replied to discobunni's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ITA with all that has been said. Try to be understanding of the nurses but they should not be gossiping or talking about this sort of thing at the desk. Do what God wants you to do and you will be...

  13. Can't do nightshift

    Gabie Baby replied to Pitbullgirl's topic in General Nursing

    They can go get their own notes. Like school kids, isn't it? I love the way we are treated. We handle lives of others but can't be trusted to take care of our own health. Which is all she's doing...

  14. ER didnt treat our resident......

    Gabie Baby replied to tatgirl's topic in General Nursing

    It means they are not specializing in Emergency medicine. They are residents and they are moonlighting, just trying to pay their debts. Still residents. What should have happened in the case under...

  15. ER didnt treat our resident......

    Gabie Baby replied to tatgirl's topic in General Nursing

    His doc wanted to give Lasix IM, not send him to the ER. The pt wanted to go get it drained. Please re-read the OP. The poor soul probably couldn't breathe with 20#of fluid compressing his innards,...

    Gabie Baby replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient Medications

    So you've been a nurse since you were 19? You are doubtless in violation of your employer's policies and procedures. If you do ever get stuck, you will find that they try to capitalize on the fact...

  21. Gloves Necessary For SQ Injections?

    Gabie Baby replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient Medications

    Wear gloves. Once in a while, SQ's do bleed, like maybe when someone is on Coumadin, or if you just happen to hit a little capillary. Interesting that you wear them for capillary finger sticks but...
