  1. This doc makes me very uncomfortable . . .

    MKFaizi replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Replying to the post from Chuck: This woman was a physician? For real? Not some psycho off the streets? I mean, my grandma -- no offense to my grandma -- wonderful woman -- could have done a far...

  2. Book learnin' don't mean a thing...

    MKFaizi replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My fifteen year old son is going to take the nursing course in high school this year. They learn quite a bit there. I hope he goes into nursing. My daughter is also interested in being a

  3. Book learnin' don't mean a thing...

    MKFaizi replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations, nurseinthemaking. Being in school is kind of like being pregnant. You give birth when you graduate. Then, you have the task of raising the child. Takes about twenty years to reach...

  4. how long to wait for bloodtest results?

    MKFaizi replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    Then, take the advice of the other nurses and show up at the office and get your blood results. A B12 deficiency can be determined from a CBC or a B12 blood test. I do not think that it was...

  5. Drug Users in the hospital

    MKFaizi replied to Ready's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic. No, I do not believe in passing judgement on people in a harsh and bitter way. Addiction itself is a sickness. I have compassion for addicts. Coincidentally, our first patient...

  6. how long to wait for bloodtest results?

    MKFaizi replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    The cause of your fatigue could be something as simple as a B12 deficiency. You can take shots for that. You could benefit from an antidepressant. You could have mononucleosis. If you can do it, go...

  7. how long to wait for bloodtest results?

    MKFaizi replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    Most old records are not that important. It is usual for a doctor to check a BMP and thyroid on patients. Nothing unusual about that. Usual for a doctor to check a CBC. You said that you have...

  8. Book learnin' don't mean a thing...

    MKFaizi replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good for you for passing. In my opinion, much of this sort of thing is a torturing process. In LPN school, I never had to do the handwashing thing. But there were other things. One thing that I...

  9. Drug Users in the hospital

    MKFaizi replied to Ready's topic in General Nursing

    Even drug addicts get sick. In my practice, I saw one drug addict get his appendicitis overlooked and he nearly died from that. Then, he turned out to have Hodgkins Disease and really should have died...

  10. how long to wait for bloodtest results?

    MKFaizi replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in doctors' offices for years. I do try to call patients promptly with results. Occasionally, I screw up. Not very often but, when I do, I am honest about it. Is this practice a large...

  11. RN who wouldn't be CNA

    MKFaizi replied to cjog's topic in Nursing Career

    No, you do not have to be an aide in order to be a good nurse. Nothing is set in concrete. However, some of the best nurses I have known and a couple of doctors have worked their way up from being...

  12. This doc makes me very uncomfortable . . .

    MKFaizi replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Cardiac One, So why don't you get the Midwife degree and deliver babies? My nurse midwife was excellent. Perfect. Patient. Coached me in pushing. Gentle. Tolerant of my Pakistani husband. Very...

  13. This doc makes me very uncomfortable . . .

    MKFaizi replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds horrible. I thank God that a nurse midwife delivered my first child and a lovely Fillopino doctor in a one woman practice delivered my second. Both were perfect labors and deliveries -- no...

  14. Stuck in LPN mode?

    MKFaizi replied to nitengail_2001's topic in General Nursing

    Two excellent posts, RN34TX and Nyoko59. Very thoughtful. Hope I got the names right. I have trouble with internet

  15. Stuck in LPN mode?

    MKFaizi replied to nitengail_2001's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with LPN181 and Coopergirl. I think you should still try for a better job. How long will your license be on probation? My guess is that you would be hired. Even you call it LTC Hell and that...

  16. Does anyone need the Taber's Medical Dictionary?

    MKFaizi replied to mrod's topic in General Students

    I use Taber's frequently at work. Good book. But I am sure that Mosby's is good also. Marsha

  17. RN who wouldn't be CNA

    MKFaizi replied to cjog's topic in Nursing Career

    To Matt's Mom, Excellent post. Most aides are very under-appreciated. If you care about the aides, you care about the patients. If you help the aides in their work, you help the patients. If you work...

  18. RN who wouldn't be CNA

    MKFaizi replied to cjog's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think there is any dirty work in nursing. It is all the same, I do think that doing a stint as a CNA is worthwhile. In truth, I think that all of us should be capable of all of it. When I was...

  19. Stuck in LPN mode?

    MKFaizi replied to nitengail_2001's topic in General Nursing

    James is probably right. I have worked med-surg and I hate it but that is me. Did you never have such experience? Regardless, I agree with him that you need to find another

  20. Breaking Back into the Workforce!

    MKFaizi replied to Micci's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no doubt that being a home mom is a good reason for a gap in employment. Your recent schooling is an asset. There is no reason that you will not make an excellent CNA. I have worked with many,...

  21. Stuck in LPN mode?

    MKFaizi replied to nitengail_2001's topic in General Nursing

    As for your manager, well, in my opinion, she is disgusting to say that to you after you took the time and money to become a RN. I think you should gleefully get out. I knew a LPN who became a RN....

  22. Stuck in LPN mode?

    MKFaizi replied to nitengail_2001's topic in General Nursing

    I am a LPN and I loathe working in nursing homes because all you do is pass meds and deal with families and change dressings. As a RN, I would loathe management. Forgive me if I am offending you with...

  23. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    MKFaizi replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I do somewhat agree with the person who wrote that dissececting a cat will not necessarily make someone a better nurse. I don't think that it will. Rather, it will simply be a memory from college....

  24. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    MKFaizi replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that dissecting anything is repulsive. Here is a l9vely anecdote from China about twenty-five years ago. This was told to me by one physician with whom I worked closely. She spent some time...

  25. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    MKFaizi replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I should have added that I also admire your conviction to help humankind. I do admire that. But helping is not pretty. There are not always nice outcomes to helping. Helping often involves the...
