  1. May I have your attention please?

    quazar replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Noooooooooooooo!! That would make me itch all. day. long. Yanno, I've managed to dodge the known cases because I am a big chicken. I did have to take care of a patient with scabies, though. That...

  2. Postpartum Magnesium Sulfate

    quazar replied to Lindeern's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, that's surprising, but each facility has it's own policies I suppose. I have never worked at a hospital where PP/MB got mag patients, ever. Mag patients always stayed on L&D until the mag...

  3. May I have your attention please?

    quazar replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Thank you for giving me nightmares forever. *runs away

  4. Weight loss for nurses

    quazar replied to tortillaRN17's topic in General Nursing

    I'll just kindly refer you here. https://allnurses.com/health-stress-management/is-weight-loss-1031325.html You have no idea, NONE, what is going on with my body and what my 30+ year eating disorder...

  5. May I have your attention please?

    quazar replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    *breathes into paper bag* This, right here, is why AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, I SHALL NEVER BE A SCHOOL NURSE. Lawd. You all have nerves of steel. Lice sends me into a screeching frenzy. Nope, nope,...

  6. Working with Females VS Males

    quazar replied to PennNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is fascinating to me. I honestly prefer working with men, but have never even considered this angle. How obtuse of me. Omg now I'm making geometry puns. I'll just see myself

  7. Weight loss for nurses

    quazar replied to tortillaRN17's topic in General Nursing

    I'm firmly in the obese category. I have been toying with getting weight loss surgery for a while now, but don't actually qualify for it (not obese ENOUGH, by a smidgen) and don't have any...

  8. Storing bodies of deceased babies

    quazar replied to GR88's topic in General Nursing

    Our babies go in small coffins and stay in the morgue in those until they go to the path lab/funeral home/crematorium. The whole process is awful but just know, from an L&D nurse who has cared...

  9. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Health, Stress Management

    There is a highly regarded lactation program here in my area, and the application process is open now. The tuition is the only factor. HOWEVER, it is affiliated with the institution that I work for,...

  10. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I sent my manager an email about a month ago asking to cross train to nursery and postpartum at my current hospital (of course I'm already trained I just need to know their routines). She emailed me...

  11. Switching to night shift... A good choice?

    quazar replied to jss1985's topic in General Nursing

    I personally love night shift. Day shift makes me nuts for so many reasons. The personalities, the flow of the unit, the sheer volume of PEOPLE there, not to mention management is always right up...

  12. Apparently, bedside nursing is ruining my body.

    quazar replied to quazar's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I actually put in an application for that about a year ago, but turned down the interview for the dumbest reason: I have a HUGE head lice phobia. Also, a friend of mine put me in touch with her...

  13. Moving from CT to NC (Duke).. Help!

    quazar replied to slp09011's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Yeah, I would advise you both hook up with a realtor to answer your questions. Durham is going through a lot of changes with massive gentrification efforts in the downtown area, and that is changing...

  14. Looking for some advice!

    quazar replied to JLB1215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, first off, how old is your son? That, to me, makes a huge difference. Sleep and night shift are super important. I was able to work night shift when my kids were little, but only on the...

  15. I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    quazar replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Oh that's freaking brilliant. LOVE

  16. Caregiver taking naked picture of patient

    quazar replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard and seen some bizarre stuff, but man..... Anyhoo, my gut reaction to this is that it is a violation, as the patient is comatose. However, as previous posters have stated, there could be...

  17. Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    quazar replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh my God just reading that makes me want to

  18. I Pads for patient education

    quazar replied to classicalcat's topic in Patient Education

    I have only experienced this in one hospital where I worked, and the patients honestly only used the ipads for surfing the internet, not reading their education information. I do wonder, however, if...

  19. ER to Labor and Delivery

    quazar replied to auson16's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work with some former ER nurses and they are wonderful. I've personally only ever worked in maternal-child nursing, so I can't speak from personal

  20. My new nurse manager is driving me crazy

    quazar replied to Lilone20's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought here......you could approach HR from the angle of disability rights. You aren't afforded many rights as a caregiver, HOWEVER, under FMLA laws, you may be covered to take off the days...

  21. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    quazar replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    My heart just breaks for you reading this whole post. Mothers like you, and your experiences, are actually part of the reason I wanted to go into OB. To be an advocate for women and their babies,...

    quazar replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I love you so much for this. Spot on. Thank

  23. How do you feel about being a nurse?

    quazar replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    I always dread going to work, but am fine once I get there. Most of the time I have patients that give me a sense of a job well done, and I feel that I am able to give good care and make a...

  24. Worst shift, now depressed.

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

    Sounds like some very unsupportive staff were working with you, unfortunately. So sorry you had such a horrid shift. I agree with HouTx about reporting the nasty behavior. I've done that quite a...
