  1. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    quazar replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I find intelligence, kindness, and a sense of humor attractive....regardless of

  2. Today

    quazar replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry, it sounds like she was a kind soul.

  3. So you're just a nurse?

    quazar replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    The most trusted profession for 14 years in a row. Nurses Rank as Most Honest, Ethical Profession for 14th Straight Year

  4. What are the responsibilities of the nurse when observing a genital exam

    quazar replied to Desi1997's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, on this same vein, should L&D nurses be charting that the patient's spouse was present for lady partsl exams during labor, for example? I have never been taught to do that, but now I'm...

  5. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    quazar replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Without quoting the entire post here, I have to say that on a totally detached clinical analysis level this is morbidly fascinating to me. The pathology of this woman's disorder went so deep, it...

  6. Labor deliv RN moving to the triangle

    quazar replied to geniebea's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Okay, which

  7. So you're just a nurse?

    quazar replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    Sure I encounter misconceptions about my job, all the time. I work in Labor and Delivery. The usual reaction to that is gushing about how much "fun" my job must be and how "wonderful" it must be to...

  8. Labor deliv RN moving to the triangle

    quazar replied to geniebea's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Apex (which is kind of like Holly Springs and sort of near it) is a lovely, lovely area and is booming financially and real-estate wise. It has good schools and is a nice community. With the toll...

  9. Trying to give a less painful IM gluteal injection

    quazar replied to NurseBoy1983's topic in Patient Medications

    The oddest thing I learned after being a patient who had to receive a very thick, viscous med as an IM injection was that a small gauge needle works wonders. My nurse used a 1.25 inch 25 ga. needle...

  10. What type of soap do you use?

    quazar replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Face: DHC cleansing oil. Body: Dove nutrium dry oil body wash but thinking of changing to creme oil. My skin is super dry and sensitive, I hate it. Amazon.com : Dove Body Wash, Dry Oil Moisture,...

  11. Duke University Hospital

    quazar replied to sungrl01's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yes! Also, that's something to keep in mind about Duke: the units that house the really "sick" patients tend to be the happier units. Their oncology units are really awesome. The peds bone marrow...

  12. Labor deliv RN moving to the triangle

    quazar replied to geniebea's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    No problemo. I know nothing about ortho, so if you asked me about that, all I could do is look at you funny and tell you to

  13. Labor deliv RN moving to the triangle

    quazar replied to geniebea's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Forgot about Duke Regional (formerly Durham Regional)! They are a smaller unit (6 beds I think), and have a combined antepartum mother/baby unit. Their nursery is a level 2-3 Special care, but they...

  14. Labor deliv RN moving to the triangle

    quazar replied to geniebea's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Without disclosing where I currently work (sorry, I like to keep that private), I will give you a basic break down of the larger hospitals and their satellites in the area as far as L&D is...

  15. Duke University Hospital

    quazar replied to sungrl01's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It depends on the unit, I think. I worked there many years ago and was not happy and found that they were chronically understaffed and did not treat the nurses on my unit (OB) well. I don't know if...

  16. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    quazar replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    That would drive me nuts.People who use the possessive to make a plural, e.g., hot dog's, flower's, etc., etc.. No, just no. I see that all the time here in the south, too, and it makes me

  17. Patient positioning after epidural

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, that's why I flip them side to side hourly and check dermatone levels hourly, to keep it even. Is there any research on ideal positioning? I couldn't find anything more current than 2003.

  18. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    quazar replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Pardon me while I go rub my brain with a Brill-o pad and itch my corneas from this extremely offensive assault on the English

  19. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    quazar replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Which makes my brain itch

  20. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    quazar replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Orientated. You are not orientated to a new unit/hospital/job. You are

  21. Reapplying for a job

    quazar replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    I feel compelled to play devil's advocate here. First and foremost, having been that person who did not exercise the best professional judgment in my past at all times and having since grown both...

  22. Shoe recommendations

    quazar replied to kristimarieSC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am in love with Klogs Naples clogs. Like walking on

  23. How do you deal with a toxic workplace?

    quazar replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! Glad you're getting away.

  24. Night Shift Complications

    quazar replied to knurse10's topic in General Nursing

    I stay up late until the wee hours of the morning (as in 4 am usually) the night before I have to work a night, then take something mild for sleep, and sleep all that day. Then after I work that...

  25. Post Partum pain management

    quazar replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pretty much what the rest are saying: lady partsl deliveries: Tylenol q4-6 PRN, Motrin 600-800q6-8PRN, Norco 1-2q4PRN. Percocet used to be the drug of choice probably 8-10 years ago, but Norco has...
