Please don't misunderstand the plea I made. She just needed a set of clothes for her and her daughter. I did not intend for this to become a debate on help available. She is overwhelmed at this time and would have been nice to see there is someone who could help and not expect anything in return. I am going to do for my daughter when i get there this week. I see that I made a MISTAKE by [COLOR=#003366]sjalv, ADN, RN[/COLOR] reply. I did not ask anyone to host her. The Red Cross is going to help as soon as they get the fire report. Salvation army is tapped at this time of year. I was not asking for a hand out just some caring for a child that lost everything and fells the world is against her until I could get home. Thanks to those for your prayers. I do not consider the people on here random strangers but sisters and brothers in the trenches with me. Again, I apoligize for the mistake.

My daughter lost everything in a house fire late last night. Thank God no one was home. The dog was the only injury and is touch and go. If anyone is in or around Shawnee, Oklahoma and could help her out till I get home in a week I would greatly appriciate it. She won't take money from me. I plan to take her and my grandkids shopping when i get there. She only has what she had on when they went to dinner. My granddaughter only had on play clothes. She had just finished christmas shopping and lost it too. Thanks, Kelly

RN.com has a section on OB. There are also other courses you can take there. Med admin, critical thinking, and assessments are usually good for renewal CEU's

Hi! I am the grandmother raising 3 grandchildren. My daughter suffered from depression after her 3rd one. The state was going to step in and take them. She signed over care, control, and custody to me. It was only supposed to be for a year. It has been 4 years now. I filed and recieved guardianship over the youngest 2 and the older went to live with his dad after 3 years. My daughter has realized that she has made a big error. She has started to go through the court ordered steps to have my guardianship terminated. The kids will be with me for at least 3 more years as she works her steps. I understand where some people think it is a control thing. I also understand the desperation of not seeing your grandkids cause they are in foster care. I did tough love with my daughter and now it is paying off. She has a job, is living with me and taking care of her kids on a daily basis. I am stepping back into the role of grandmother, but occassionally I do still have to be mom. I look forward to the day that I get to be grandma all the time. It is slow work but we will see.

I, at the tender year of 13, am becoming slightly more than brown but less than crusty. I have had several years of working with COB and have learned something every time. I always correct coworkers when they say "Oh, I'm just a LPN". I have had many lessons taught by LPN's that have saved my keister.

I am requesting that any one who works at a facility that releases early, i.e. 6 hours or less, please contact me. I am researching to create a policy at the facility currently working. We have had a rash of expectant mom's who want to go home in 2 - 4 hours after birth with infants. Any help would be appriciated. kelly

actually AWHONN does do online intermed and advance

my favorite is to look at them and ask very sweetly "Did you miss your nap?"

I will also add a can to my kids clothes to get out hidden stains and to save a chocolate covered shirt. I was told this by my granny and did not believe her at the time but use it all the time now. My husband laughs cause I buy a case of coke for the laundry. It will also take formula out of newborn clothes and is safer than bleach for their skin.

if you are using the coke to clean surfaces, it does work. you have to "spill" it over the surface then clean up with paper towels after five min. or so. if left longer can cause stains of own. it is useful for a number of things. a meat tenderizer, cleans battery terminals, and will free a rusty bolt. yes, I drink a lot of it.

try this. pour a little coke on it. let it set while you load the washer. pour the rest of the can of coke in with it. comes out every time.

In December of 2003 I asked and received advice about a young lady we wanted to help and provide a family for. This is the update. https://allnurses.com/general-nursing...ild-52349.html She has since married and divorced. She has two young children that she take wonderful care of. She holds a steady job, bought her first new car, and is in the process of buying a home. She still calls us mom and dad. Her bio parents have tried many times to make life hard for her, but she calls to see what she should do. She has grown into a great young women who stands on her own two feet. She has blessed us with a space in her life and she is, in no doubt, ours. Her relationship with her dad is still tight. She calls me when things are going bad and talks them out rather than making a snap judgement. She is all I hoped for her.

Here is an inexpensive tool to help with learning. Go to the lumber yard. Ask for a 4 inch peice of pvc pipe, doesn't have to be but maybe 1-2 ft long. Invest in a large bag of water balloons. Clip the end off of the balloon, slide over end of pvc pipe, keep in place with a rubber band. The more you slide the balloon down, the thinner the "cervix" is. Stick under a pillow and see if can palpate. This helps cause you can find by feeling the opening but also the thin lip, move to one side or other and just play with it. If your facility has the cards for dilation, make one and take home with you, have some one else fix the ballon and you figure it out.

I have a firm rule when dealing with my fb account. If I can't say it to your face then I don't paste it online. Makes life simple. Use fb to keep up with family and friends not to update every minute of my life.

First off, you errored in writing an order that another nurse took over the phone. You basically said you heard the order and wrote as such. That being done, you are responsible for putting it on the mar. If the order was bid and was not changed by you, the one who wrote the order, then the pt has been overdosed. Take the retraining and chalk it up to a lesson learned. As the previous poster said, if it is turned into the board of nursing, it goes better for you if you complied with retraining. I hope you do have a better day.
