Looks like the parent is training themself, not the child. I think this mother's version of attachment parenting is to attach a potty to the kids bum from birth on. ITA witwh Dr. Brazelton's comments on this. The payoff for me was the pics in the Gl...

Great pay, and I personally don't think it's 'scab' work because 1. The nurses that DO strike don't really want patients not to be cared for and 2. Strike nurses bleed corporate accounts to the bone and I believe bring them back to the table much qui...

Thank God for intensivists, hospitalists and nurses like Randy!

My 95 yo Dad is in A LTC facility after breaking his hip and running through his 100 Medicare days. We are now self pay. He hopes to eventually go home with help, but he lives alone and it appears at this point, unlikely this will happen. He someti...

:rotfl: If your penmanship is as bad as your grammar and spelling, I am sure you'll make a great Doc!! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nope...you're right!!! Merge the thread!!! :chuckle

Well, Carolina, if you'll notice the three other posters do not have premium service membership and cannot join in the discussion if it's put in current events forum.

Michael Shaivo has been made out to be the devil incarnate by many but I have no respect for the Schindlers. Mama can't visit Terri anymore--so overcome. Daddy is setting the hospice movement back many years with his comments. Now they are selling ...

She's probably thinking--Dear God, could you please make those protesters be quiet and let me die in peace"! I am sure that is what the other families and patients at that hospice are thinking. Her family asked them to LEAVE! They've even had to clo...

Where are you bleeding hearts on this issue? I totally agree with you, Unewmeb4! The banging drum all night, the chanting and wailing and now a bag piper. These"protesters" have no respect for Terri or any of the other hospice patients and familie...

The mother/baby or nursery nurse draws the blood on all babes. It's been that way for 28 years. After all the babes we've tested we would be much more of an expert than a phlebotomist. And the tests are done on a more timely basis.

I've been a nurse since 1978. This is a new one on me. My 95 year old Dad fell and broke his hip Saturday. He was taken to the OR at 1:30PM yesterday. The Surgical Resident told us it would take 2-3 hours at best--Plate and srews going in--and th...

Welll Granny7, I wish we had gone to your hospital. Would you consider going to Burlington, MA to Leahy Medical Center and giving them lessons on how things should be done??

As a 66 year old who is very active and healthy I can tell you that when my daughter comes for my 16 month old grandaughter after a day of babysitting I am more than ready to say "bye-bye". I am exhausted! I am VERY happy that I had all my children...

Wow! I thought I'd heard everything. I wonder if the people at breastfeeding.com have heard of this???? :chuckle

When we had clinical we all had pts. that needed transfers, showers, hoyer lifting etc. Did you not learn any of this back then? Does your floor not have inservices to show you how to use new equipment? As a nurse I have had to perform these dutie...

I would NEVER NEVER NEVER want to deal with a teenager when I was in my 70's!!!! :uhoh21: I don't believe---as an OB nurse--that these 55 plus yo mothers think about dealng with this child as the child gets older. They just think of fulfilling thi...

Sad--are you by any chance related to Mario_Ragucci???

HAving had John Kerry for my Senator for low these many years I will watch the debate to see if he can FINALLY do something to impress me. I am still going to write in John McCain for President.

Have had the flu shot for the last 20 years with no problems--no flu. So has hubby. It's a choice. I'll get it this year, too.

Years ago I had a 400 lb. patient who burst a AAA. The fact that she was obese saved her according to her doc. The fat helped seal the tear until they brought her in--she had a lengthy recovery with every complication in the book. The residents, ...

I totally agree. Avoiding X-Rays and highly infectious patients is a given, but if you can't perform the other duties of your job description go on maternity leave. What happened to the war cry of the feminists and natural childbirth advocates--Pre...

I am not leery, but after one of the nurses here left a few years back because her co-workers reported things she wrote here, I make sure I am not specific. I cannot understand why people would post their e-mail addy's and personal web page and put ...
