1. IV in Emergency?

   EinnOgTveir replied to CEG's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think you're in the wrong forum. Also did you read what the thread was actually about?

2. Diet Advice

   EinnOgTveir replied to dearluv20's topic in General Nursing

   I think there is a thread somewhere on healthy living, look that up.

3. Public Breastfeeding

   EinnOgTveir replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

   I'm generally curious here, what do your kids think breasts are for?

4. First Names & "Professionalism"

   EinnOgTveir replied to porsch65's topic in Operating Room

   What an interesting thread. This name system you guys have is so complex and on so many levels. I come from a country (Iceland) where calling anyone by their last name sound's ridiculous as it's never done. As for respect, well the president is c...

5. When circ's go bad...

   EinnOgTveir replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As for how they do them over here, they simply dont, not on babies anyway. I have seen one circumsision on an adult who had tight foreskin and that was done under an epidural. Like I said before I read through all the posts on the board and found t...

6. When circ's go bad...

   EinnOgTveir replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yes that's correct. Thank you for putting it into better wording.

7. When circ's go bad...

   EinnOgTveir replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yup I'm not used to circumsised penises, never even seen one. All I see is a newborn who has a part of them cut off. I have read various reasons why people do it but still cant understand it. I highlighted that this was my personal opinion. I do...

8. When circ's go bad...

   EinnOgTveir replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It would be if parents decided to have their kids ears pinned back just because they happen to have a set of ears that might grow to stick out in the future and cause them to be bullied. Personally I think circumcition = child abuse.

9. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

   EinnOgTveir replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism

   That's really comendable.

10. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    EinnOgTveir replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism

    One thing I dont get about this thread. One is supposed to wash their hands before entering a patient's room right? So if the activity of washing is happening outside the room why would the patient ever see a nurse wash her hands? So even if you do...

11. 12N Sleeping During Break

    EinnOgTveir replied to MEDRQST's topic in Safety

    There is two hour overlap on the morning shift (0700-1500) and the evening shift (1330-2130). I have worked in Finland, Iceland and Spain and all of those had only 8 hour shifts for morning and evening but the night shift was different. I've heard...

12. Is it selfish not to get a Flu Shot?

    EinnOgTveir replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Slightly off topic but dont you guys get sick leave? :uhoh21: I noticed several times people writing about having to take vacation days for being ill or being without pay.

13. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    EinnOgTveir replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    One thing baffles me, those of you who strip of your scrubs when you get home, arent you bothered by sitting in your cars in the dirty scrubs? Doesnt the hospital offer facilities to change clothes? I'd hate to wear my work clothes outside of the ho...

14. Day & Evening Shift at LTC

    EinnOgTveir replied to Chicklet2's topic in Geriatric

    It's much nicer to work when you have orientation. I only got orientation after I had been at the facility for 3 weeks :chuckle: I spent those 3 weeks asking people a lot (although sometimes i was the only nurse and had no one to ask) and wonderin...

15. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    EinnOgTveir replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm floored. I'm also very happy to be in Finland where most hospitals are state run. Let's talk about meals. Patients get meals. The meals contain food, there is no choise in what they get they just get what's been prepared for the whole hospit...
