  1. OR Nurse essentials?

    Mommavik replied to vpinks's topic in Operating Room

    I loved Birkinstocks, they gave me great support for my arches and feet. Also New Balance and Nurse mates were good choices for me since I couldn't really afford shoes that cost over $100 a pair....

  2. Someone submitted an anonymous complaint to the board of nursing and now I'm under investigation

    Mommavik replied to smonaep92's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, talk with your employer ASAP. Especially if they already know you're being harassed, probably they'll count this as just another episode. But if not, this is something they definitely need...

  3. Smoking residents in LTC

    Mommavik replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

    That was my first thought- how many times does a nurse or tech who is a smoker get a chance to go out to smoke? Why would they now object to taking a nurse's turn who does not want to be exposed to...

  4. Texas Abortion Law

    Mommavik replied to Charlcie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Then in that case (rape or assaults) NOBODY should have any say except the woman who is pregnant as a result of that

  5. Texas Abortion Law

    Mommavik replied to Charlcie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sure, not saying his is the final say, just that he should be heard. If he is financially and physically able to take responsibility for a child, then that should be taken into account, but the...

  6. Texas Abortion Law

    Mommavik replied to Charlcie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Cinlou said I feel the father should have a say, but only if he's prepared to take all responsibility for the child he helped

  7. Texas Abortion Law

    Mommavik replied to Charlcie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am a Christian. I am also pro-choice. I could not have an abortion myself because I always wanted children but was only able to have one. However, I lived in the age of back alley abortions and the...

  8. Texas Midwife Arrested for Abortion Care

    Mommavik replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

    I think this is where we'll end up with all the bans on abortion- back in the days before "Roe vs Wade" it was illegal almost everywhere; as a result, many young and older women had so called back...

  9. Measles outbreak in Texas: started 24 cases, 9 hospitalized; now 400 cases. Would you recognize Measles?

    Mommavik replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I also found out that after an mmr injection, you cannot donate blood for 4 weeks- it's the rubella portion of the injection that causes the 4 week wait. The German measles and mumps portion only...

  10. Measles outbreak in Texas: started 24 cases, 9 hospitalized; now 400 cases. Would you recognize Measles?

    Mommavik replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I saw on the news yesterday that there is a recommendation by the CDC that persons who were born between 1957 through 1968 be revaccinated due to "most born before this either had measles or were...

  11. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

    Mommavik replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I agree; I feel this is something that a woman and her doctor should be able to decide between themselves, not the government. We need to vote in some people with sense enough to at least mitigate...

  12. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

    Mommavik replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I totally agree! This is ridiculous, and although I personally would only abort a child if absolutely necessary, I support any woman's right to do what she and her doctor feel is right for her to do....

  13. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

    Mommavik replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I also want to mention that even after vasectomy it is possible to get a woman pregnant; the man needs to have a sperm count for a specific length of time after the procedure to make sure it was...

  14. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

    Mommavik replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I don't agree with reversing Roe vs Wade. I've seen many thought provoking posts. One which really stuck with me posits the idea that oh yeah, prevent abortions! Don't kill the babies!! Then it shows...

  15. Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    Mommavik replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    So glad things are working better for you and your patients. Hope things continue in this direction. Good

  16. Unemployed 68 yr old NP told she is "too old" for job

    Mommavik replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree, I became disabled at 57, but until then, when I worked as a hospital RN, or as a nursing home RN, it was the same. I was treated as a higher status maid. You know, do this, do that,...

  17. How to spot a bad nurse

    Mommavik replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Boy do I agree with this! Many many times I left work an hour late so frustrated with the fact it was either chart what was being done or actually go and take care of my patients; it wasn't possible...

  18. Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    Mommavik replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree totally; I definitely would be looking for another job. You've tried to advocate for your patients, but unless you've already got written evidence (from charting or notes that you took when...

  19. Radonda Vaught Trial

    Mommavik replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Thank

  20. Radonda Vaught Trial

    Mommavik replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    In response to Susie 2310; (Sorry I can't figure out how to copy the post) I agree; this is way more than just a medication error, like we are all afraid we could one day make. This was more...

  21. Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    Mommavik replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm glad you followed your gut and reported this situation. I hope you have documented your conversations with this night nurse, but even if you didn't, I think the numbers will show what is going...

  22. Danger! Paralytic Drugs!

    Mommavik replied to dthfytr's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've never worked with paralytic drugs, so I'm not qualified to give an opinion as to the correctness of the OP's post. However, I do agree that the mistake currently being discussed is one of not...

  23. Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    Mommavik replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    You have to let the Dr know what is going on, as well as you direct supervisor. Nursing judgement is one thing, blatantly ignoring the Dr's orders is not using nursing judgement, it is usurping the...

  24. Radonda Vaught Trial

    Mommavik replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    ⁰I can see how not being able to check as often as she was supposed to happened. There were things she could have done to address this; at the least, having an aide check on him frequently and...

  25. Radonda Vaught Trial

    Mommavik replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    From what I'm reading about this case, the nurse in question falsified the record to show that she checked on a patient's neurological and vital signs frequently as ordered after a patient fall when...
