   ljds replied to ljds's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks, everyone for the responses and the information. I'll have to check into some associations and investigate more directly what they exactly have to offer. I was skeptical of their worth (I...

2. Breastfeed or else

   ljds replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not saying I have all the answers; and people in the middle are ALWAYS going to fall through the cracks. I wish I could solve that, but I'm not sure I can. But I think that if insurance and...

3. Question about additional associations

   ljds posted a topic in General Nursing

   Okay, I'll rephrase my question. I've never really joined any nursing associations. My interests/areas of work are medical and office OB/L&D/MB. In general, do any of you belong to nursing...

4. Breastfeed or else

   ljds replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

   So what do those people do for food? I guess I just don't see the difference between paying for your baby's formula and paying for food. It's not like formula is cheap now. It's made by...

5. Breastfeed or else

   ljds replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

   I just envision you getting your script for the year when you go in for your well baby checks. I don't see how it would be any different or make it more difficult. Uh, no kidding some people don't...

6. Breastfeed or else

   ljds replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

   I work with alot of low income mamas, and alot of them DO make their own formula, especially when the formula from WIC runs out. Formula is expensive. If these babies' medical cards covered their...

7. What other nursing forums are there?

   ljds replied to ljds's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you. I think that every forum has a "personality" as it were, and I'm just looking for a better fit. No disrespect intended for allnurses.com; it's fine. But I'm just looking to expand a bit...

9. What other nursing forums are there?

   ljds replied to ljds's topic in General Nursing

   Perhaps not so heavily moderated? I don't know; I just feel very confined sometimes here. So, I guess you could scratch the word "progressive" and just help me with the question "What other nursing...

11. Breastfeed or else

    ljds replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I skimmed all the posts (whew1) and didn't see much of anything on this, so here goes: I would like to see formula be by prescription only. If a mother chose to formula feed, she would have to meet...

12. Cussing Co-Workers

    ljds replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I can swear quite a bit, sometimes, especially if the g-word is off limits. And I am well educated, thank you! I have a fairly extensive vocabulary in a couple of languages; but sometimes the...

14. comments about patient's w/ IV's?

    ljds replied to johnson0424's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Our protocol is that if they are on tele, they must have IV access. So yes, we put a saline lock in everyone on tele who comes

    ljds replied to TBLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Has anyone actually ever stood up to him? My experience with people like this is that if you DO stand up to them, calmly, maturely, and forcefully, rarely is there ever an issue again. I'd stand up...
