  1. Bubble gum myth or truth?

    nurs4kids replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    There's alot of truth to the hair eating thing. We've actually had kids in here who had to go to the OR to have "hair balls" removed from their stomach/intestines. One kid came in and the ER docs...

  2. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    nurs4kids replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    erezebet, Your comments are ignorant to say the least. First of all, pot smokers would know where to obtain illegal drugs, therefore have less need to steal from the pyxis than would..say a drinker...

  4. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    nurs4kids replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    judy ann, I've not seen anyone here state they actively smoke pot. I, for one, do not; hence I am doing nothing illegal. That does not change my opinion that pot is no worse than alcohol, nor does...

  5. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    nurs4kids replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Why do the drink lovers insist that those defending pot usage are dopers???? I have not taken one hit off a joint nor even been in sniffing range of one in over six years. I have not had over one or...

  6. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    nurs4kids replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    mattsmom, I don't think anyone is taking a stand against reporting or intervening when a nurse shows up at work drunk, high or mentally altered in any way. The debate is whether or not it's the...

  7. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    nurs4kids replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    I don't drink, I don't smoke pot..BUT I have done both in the far past. The after effects from drinking are by far much worse than pot. My ability to think was always much better (not good, just...

    nurs4kids replied to susanmary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Lethal injection nurse???

    nurs4kids replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be in line right behind kewlnurse! My BIBLE speaks of "an eye for an eye...". Personally though, I think it should be TWO eyes for an

  11. Just Go Pee!

    nurs4kids replied to Huganurse's topic in General Nursing

  14. Divorce And Affairs????

    nurs4kids replied to rachaelm4's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't nursing get blamed for enough stuff w/o being the culprit of divorce??? I just don't see where a career can be THE reason for divorce. I imagine there are underlying problems waaay before a...

  15. Questions about transfusions...

    nurs4kids replied to plumrn's topic in General Nursing

    Platelets should run by gravity, wide open. The pumping action of an infusion pump will damage the platelets. Platelets can actually be pushed, but I've never pushed them myself. We don't piggyback...

  16. ICU nursing vs Floor nursing

    nurs4kids posted a topic in General Nursing

    This will probably start a big cat fight, however that is not my intention. I am honestly curious. ICU nurses feel they have the toughest job, because the patient acuity is higher. Floor nurses feel...

  17. Hospital Child Day Care

    nurs4kids replied to SueM's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add: I was a daycare child, even back in the late 60's. I thank my parents for that, just as those with stay-at-home-parents kids thank their parents. I never felt unloved. I never...

  18. Hospital Child Day Care

    nurs4kids replied to SueM's topic in General Nursing

    Ktwlpn, Don't sweat it, you're not alone. It's easy for a childless person to pass judgement on parents. Remember before you had children, we all had idealogical concepts on parenting; then comes...

  19. Hospital Child Day Care

    nurs4kids replied to SueM's topic in General Nursing

    Hey sue! Our hospital started out with a "sick" care daycare and is slowly stretching it from there. In the beginning, employees were allowed a certain # of days per year for each child to use the...

    nurs4kids replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Evenings is like $3.00/hr shift diff and nights is $3.75/hr shift diff. The extra pay is the ONLY thing that keeps me on nights...well, that and the fact that night shift people
