  1. Video cameras banned in L&D

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I (obviously, not a nurse) had NO idea pictures were discouraged these days. I would be heartbroken if I didn't have pictures of my kids immediately following their births. But I'm one of the weird...

  2. Emetophobia

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever successfully treated Emetophobia (fear of vomiting)? If so, how? Just so you know, I don't only have a fear of myself vomiting, but even worse is my fear of other people vomiting....

  3. higher pay for BSN grads?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I definitely was not saying that teaching is a better profession than nursing (obviously not ).....just wanted to point out that other careers do reward for more education

  4. higher pay for BSN grads?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I doubt anyone cares since I already posted this, but....... I've witnessed in another profession equally as important as nursing that people are rewarded for additional education. My husband...

  5. RN school and tattoos?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is that if they let one student keep the piercing (regardless of the reason), they need to let all students keep them. I mean a health risk is a health risk....shouldn't matter WHY you...

  6. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    jojotoo ~ I've seen first hand how aggressive and "mouthy" some psych patients can be to staff That comment would have made me cry too. I'm impressed that you

  7. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: I think it would depend on the area in which you work (but that's just my opinion). When I did clinicals for my STNA certification, a sweet lady in LTC said something along the lines of...

  8. RN school and tattoos?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    deleted.

  9. RN school and tattoos?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    And a "tattooed" person needs to worry about the opinion of some "little old lady" who thinks one way, but verbally contradicts herself??? Honestly, what a ridiculous argument. The person is...

  10. Shortage of RNs not LPNS!...

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in General Nursing

    It is that way in my area as well. It seems that LPNs have one option - LTC. If that's your passion then you're in luck. That is not my passion, so becoming an LPN is not an option. I'm sorry...

  11. RN school and tattoos?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    Looking professional is subjective. Being a professional should be more about how you perform your job, and less about how you look. If someone is that judgemental then nothing is likely to please...

  12. Largest baby

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to MemphisOBRNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    26" at birth!!!!!!! My boys weren't 26" until they were six months

  13. RN school and tattoos?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but what exactly were you frightened

  14. higher pay for BSN grads?

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To start off.....this is not a hot-button issue for me at this point in life, but I have a point/story (that's surely been asked before). I'll try to make this short :lol My husband has his BS in...

  15. lamaze vs. bradley method

    Altalorraine ~ as a mom, I understand what you are saying & agree 100%. The same thing happens with

  16. Plan B

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    It's hilarious to me that some of you are pretending that you don't have opinions on what other people do. That's like saying I shouldn't think twice if my neighbor beats his kid to a bloody pulp...

  17. Plan B

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not "flaming" anyone. It seems to me that we ALL have our opinions on what other women should do/not do with their bodies. And we are ALL entitled to

  18. Plan B

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I guess about the same time YOU

  19. Plan B

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion it is an abortion pill. But I believe that life begins at fertilization. I am all for availability of BC that prevents fertilization. I can't believe insurance doesn't cover BC...

  20. bottle vs breast feeding

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to evansj2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know I'm coming in late on this, but wanted to share my experience. My first was born at 35 weeks. I pumped my milk immediately and he received it in a bottle. I could not seem to get the hang of...

  21. You know how ppl ask you stuff b/c they know you're a nurse? This tops it all....

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get the "strange" part of this inquiry....can you

  22. ? About not breastfeeding

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    SuperFlyRN ~ You have such a poor attitude. Why are you in this profession? Why is it funny when a new dad can't change a diaper, but ridiculous when a mom can't? Everybody needs to learn...

  23. Vet tech calling herself RN

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I think you ARE touching & biting.....talk about beating a dead horse. Hey, maybe it's time to remind you how incompetent RN's can be...remembering that fact, I agree with you, I wouldn't want an...

  24. "glorified birth junkies"

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is a glorified birth junkie? I think I might be one of them :rotfl: Seriously though. I think the responsibility of being the RN during the deliver will not allow me to experience the process...

  25. "glorified birth junkies"

    OB_or_NICU_hopeful replied to OB_or_NICU_hopeful's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To answer a few other questions.... No, I can't imagine leaving my family for a super long labor & delivery (as a Doula). That is a HUGE drawback, and the reason I never took the training. I...
