   Did the baby make it?

3. Those Baby Shows

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to LiveZen's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Whew! I was getting a little nervous.....I'm so glad to see that a Nurse admits to liking them! I have this habit of comparing my thoughts/feelings to what the Nurses here say and I tend to get myself all worked up thinking it means SOMETHING about...

4. i decided not to have my son circumcised-need feedback

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

   Here's my advice, but I'm not a nurse. I have two uncirc'd boys. I NEVER touched the foreskin and I think it was a mistake. NO, I don't believe you need to routinely pull it back, but I think you should gently peek at it from time to time. I too...

5. Was this reaction normal?

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

   My husband has Ulcerative Colitis and takes Prednisone with flare-ups.....it is such a powerful drug. It adds weight in strange places (his jaws) and he had to begin seeing a cardiologist for uncontrolled HBP. He weaned off of it about a month ago ...

6. I didn't know this actually happened

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

   smilingblueyes ~ Thank you :) I wanted to say something to the effect of what you did, but knew that I wouldn't be respected for it. But your comment of "But I think if they are THAT needy, then maybe I should just feel glad that I am not!" is key ...

7. Nurses with depression

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to NHLPN's topic in General Nursing

   I can't offer advice, but I just wanted to let you know that I also suffer from serious bouts of depression and anxiety....it can be debilitating (spelling??). I hope you get things worked out for yourself soon :)

8. Moms who want to feel absolutely NO pain

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

9. Help! Pregnant and don't know what patients to avoid

   OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

   Did they tell you why? Or is this a thing of the past? I only ask because my son came five weeks early (and was frank breech) and I would have begged someone to tell me not to mop or vacuum :rotfl: OP: Best wishes!

10. Delegation to unlicensed assistive personnel (long...)

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to dacryocystitis's topic in General Nursing

    How about she finds a new job?

11. I didn't know this actually happened

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    deleted because I'm tired and saying dumb things.

12. Are you my waitress today?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to adria37's topic in General Nursing

    I guess this is part of me not being a nurse and not having any experience in this field, but I could imagine some sweet little old man saying this and not meaning ANYTHING by it. Waitresses help people, maybe he just meant "are you helping me today...

13. what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    There always seem to be something to argue about around here :uhoh21: Speaking as a consumer/patient. I have been to MANY doctors in my day (and especially after having kids) and I don't think the typical office nurse has a quarter of the respons...

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to cedargrove's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, to the two PP ~ I have an even greater appreciation for our service men & women (especially women - having a period and NO BATH!!!! Yikes).
