  1. How do you deal with untherapeutic situations on the unit?

    lavenderskies replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Abso-freakin-lutely no way on earth this is for real. So insulting to the

  2. Home births gone wrong

    lavenderskies replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes it is common sense, and it is a good midwife that refers to the OB/hospital setting for the situations and conditions referred by the OP and some others in this thread. It may or may not have been...

    lavenderskies replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you for saying what needed to be

  4. Home births gone wrong

    lavenderskies replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The logic escapes me that if you "have seen so many poor outcomes even with low-risk moms in tertiary medical centers with expert OBG attendings where things went bad very quickly" then why would you...

  5. Home births gone wrong

    lavenderskies replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Almost every situation sited in this thread sounds not like a home birth gone wrong but a mal-practicing midwife. Births with anticipated complications like breech, gbs, etc should be in a Birth...

  6. My first fall

    lavenderskies replied to Alimamethaa's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I was the only one who could manage doing this. I walk into street signs and support columns in malls etc as well. Sigh. So

  7. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    lavenderskies replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    First off I'm sorry that happened to you. Secondly, she may not be aware that what she was saying was embarassing. I can't tell from your description. And even so, something embarassing to one person...

  8. Fragrance Sacrifice

    lavenderskies replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

    I would consider quitting if I worked with someone who insisted on wearing that. It literally makes me

  9. bored to tears

    lavenderskies replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Thanks, it's ok. I'm up against a big challenge and I knew it'd be this way when I started my refresher course. I'm trying to stay chill and go with the flow with whatever is meant to be ya know? But...

  11. adding up my narcotics

    lavenderskies replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way you could take a pic of that and post it?

  12. bored to tears

    lavenderskies replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Yeah....my kids would never utter the words "I'm bored" to me. Whenever they've dared I've said "oh good I have jobs for you". They quickly get unbored and

  13. adding up my narcotics

    lavenderskies replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Um I would definitely want every mg accounted for. Maybe keep a notepad in your pocket with a running tally of what you gave/wasted....little checkmark by charted done

  14. bored to tears

    lavenderskies replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I agree. I was wondering though if you or anyone else has suggestions for dealing with professors that have those drone like voices that make your brain waves go flat? To the OP---- I'm a visual and...

  15. Nurses leaving the field?

    lavenderskies replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I left nursing to raise my family not intending to return. I was recruited to teach art, and did so for over a decade. Now I'm attempting to return to

  19. bored to tears

    lavenderskies replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I didn't enjoy history or literature when in hs or college either. My priorities were just in other places. If you can find a way to make it a priority at this stage of your life (other than the...

  20. Student Loan Debt

    lavenderskies replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    I did my ASN at a well respected community college. I paid as I went with a stipend from my parents. My daughter is now enrolled in a private non-profit Christian college nursing program. I wish...

  21. Do you see ethnic tensions at work?

    lavenderskies replied to princessgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't disagree but I think that experience depends GREATLY on geographical location. I'm not sure what you can actually do. Especially if you are Caucasian except to keep your own self in check and...

  22. The sloppy image of nurses today

    lavenderskies replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've also found this to be true. When I worked for a University Medical Center I often noted that there was a pretty horrible pecking order among the medical side of things. They managed to take eager...

  23. The sloppy image of nurses today

    lavenderskies replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'd place a rather large wage that this is a troll posting from someone over at sdn. It's too ridiculous not to

  25. night nurse can't sleep during the day!

    lavenderskies replied to keener's topic in General Nursing

    All good advice above. :) It sucks being hung over feeling. I had a terrible time on nights as a new nurse. But 20 years later doing nights I enjoyed it. I know that for me the difference was in...
