  1. The Circumcision Discussion

    analee23 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know this is random and may be a bit :offtopic: But, just thought I'd share. The other day we had two kiddos come into my ER (about 2 hrs. apart) with foreskin entrapment in the mesh lining of...

  2. A school with no wait list-Have you heard of it?

    analee23 replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Students

    I don't know if this is true everywhere, so take this with a grain of salt... but I think that it is the case most places. State Universities (or any BSN program for that matter) Don't have waiting...

  3. Whats with the scrubs?

    analee23 replied to scattycarrot's topic in General Nursing

    So I guess the time I got off work at 2am, went to the grocery since I literally had NO food in my house (in my scrubs no less). Not realizing I forgot to take my name badge off and kept trying to...

  4. Will this be too hard??

    analee23 replied to seek1kees's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the same thing! Anatomy, Micro, I think statistics and one other cake course... plus a part time job. But, I'm a quick study, and had lotsa help (my roommate was a year ahead of me in Nursing...

  5. ER nursing...

    analee23 replied to Danish's topic in General Nursing

    We have a few Techs that are nursing students. They're great! Just call around and you should be able to find a place that'll accept you. Best of luck. And yes, we have a few nurses that started...

  6. Flunked!!!

    analee23 replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, don't know of any schools that will accept work done at another college of nursing since all programs are set up differently. Her best bet would be to work with the Dean of Nursing at the...

  7. Associate or BSN ?

    analee23 replied to ICUr_Scrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like people have previously said, it depends on what you want to do. I was debating about a similar situation and did a traditional BSN program. My reasoning, don't know what the future will hold,...

  8. Getting rewarded for backstabbing???

    analee23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a pediatric ER. Our ER shares a lounge with the Adult ER that is much larger, more poorly staffed, and much busier than the pediatric ER. (Kinda glad I don't work there, actually.)...

  9. Getting rewarded for backstabbing???

    analee23 replied to analee23's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't surprise me that this unit has a high turnover rate with nurses, a lot of young nurses, despite it being a very prestigious level 1 trauma center. A little sad,

  10. Spontaneous Pneumo in Teen

    analee23 replied to Jolie's topic in Emergency

    I've seen chest tubes placed, but never needle aspirations... It's ALWAYS done under sedation and the kiddos are always admitted for observation. Especially if he had some cyanosis related to the...

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    analee23 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    analee23 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    YES! Thank you! I completely agree. It doesn't hurt, just feels weird. Some fall asleep and some scream bloody murder through the whole dang

  13. The Circumcision Discussion

    analee23 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've assisted with a lot of circs and only see them start screaming out because they feel the PRESSURE of the clamps used to ensure the doctor makes a correct cut. Because, remember, anesthetic helps...

  15. The Circumcision Discussion

    analee23 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just thought I'd add my two cents. My dad is a very successful and well known pediatrician. He does circumcisions, but that's besides the point. He recently shared an article with me about...

  16. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    analee23 replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I was vaccinated as a child and will vaccinate my children. I do not believe vaccines cause Autism. But I will continue to not judge as parents tell me their children are not vaccinated. I simply...

    analee23 replied to Purdue_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  18. The GOOD things about nursing - why are we still doing it

    analee23 replied to Tiwi's topic in General Nursing

    analee23 replied to timinchrist's topic in General Nursing
