    Marijke replied to Anonymous2013's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of women have a little spotting during early pregnancy, this does not always signal trouble. If it doesn't get any worse you could probably wait till Monday. However if it does, seek help ASAP....

    Marijke replied to LauraLou's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry for the strong language, but has any of you ever had a family member in ICU? It is an incredible hard thing to deal with. My father died in ICU in The Netherlands last May, the hardest thing I...

  10. Can Circulating Nurse Sit?

    Marijke replied to inches's topic in Operating Room

    It seems to me another case of using common sense and inteligence. Of course you should be able to have seat as long as the case permits it. There is absolutely no reason why not. The job can be...

    In our hospital it is policy for all patients receiving any implants in the OR , to have a pre-op scrub with Hibidil in daycare. We then do a short scrub in the OR after which we use the prep of...

  12. saskatchewan nursing?

    Marijke replied to lesley's topic in International Nursing

    I worked with NISS in Powell River, and it would be a reason for me not to go to Saskatchewan. I much rather do my job than filling out all the paperwork and reading the NISS manuals.

  13. Tell us about your computer system

    Marijke replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is very computerized and all our charting in the OR is done by computer. There are some good things about it, but some very bad things. The good thing is the way it forces you to be...

    Dear Adn, As you have noticed you are not alone, we are all sending you our best wishes. As many have said before me, you need to see somebody about the depression you are going through. I know it is...

  15. who fills out the incident report?

    Marijke replied to Michelle_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of nurses are afraid of incident reports, because they think they have failed by making an error of some kind. Yes mistakes in medications are very common and sometimes can have very bad...

  16. What is a real nurse?????

    Marijke replied to duckie's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't the key issue here teamwork? It seems to me we are all very important links in a chain. What good is nursing care going to be if the place isn't cleaned, food is prepared without caring, laundry...

  17. Difference in atmosphere between OR nurses and Med-Surg nursing?

    Marijke replied to nrsbaby2be's topic in Operating Room

    I think the biggest problem in the OR towards new staff, is the lack of trust in the new staffmember. Will he/she do something to mess with things while we aren't watching? I am not saying this is an...

    Marijke replied to OneChattyNurse's topic in General Nursing
