  1. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, let's not go down THAT road. Because if I hear how my twins are missing out on SO MUCH because they weren't breastfed (they were gavage fed my milk and I pumped nearly exclusively) I think I'm...

  2. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Deb, that's not an answer and you know it. I don't see what the big fuss is about being discreet. Why can women not be discreet? Why do I have to bend, change my direction, change the restaurant I'm...

  3. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but perhaps on that day, I didn't WANT them to be educated on it. As a parent I have the right to decide when they learn something, don't

  4. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, my kids "should know" that babies are fed via breast if desired, but I prefer to be the one to decide when I want my children to know that, not some breastfeeding mother who is not discreet in...

  5. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    No, they aren't in the least. I can tell you that my breast is MUCH more soft and voluptous than any Playtex VentAir or Dr. Brown's bottle. And I know that my husband isn't turned on by those...

  6. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I might get flamed for this, but I also think that "natural" isn't a good defense. There are ALOT of things that are natural, doesn't mean people want to see them!

  7. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, but to play devil's advocate here, what if I am out in public with my children who are not mature enough to separate out that a breast is used to feed a baby (but not always - let's not knock...

  8. Public Breastfeeding

    Q. replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    True. I support breastfeeding. I breastfed my twins for one month before my supply just couldn't handle the demand. :/ I do agree though that as much as breasts are natural, they are still a sexual...

  9. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    Q. replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in graduate school for my MSN and I have 7 month old twins. I also work full time. It takes juggling and sacrifice, but it can be done. Like the PP I reserve the weekends for family; I...

  10. Crappy salary, and no pay for call?!

    Q. replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, when I worked as a nurse educator, I made $19/hour and I have 6 years experience. I was also salaried. The rationale for such low pay was that I don't have to work PMs or nights or...

  11. Can't go with family on vacation. Is it worth it?!

    Q. replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    But therein lies the problem. Vacation time isn't a reward for being an employee longer than someone else. Vacation is an earned benefit that is applicable after working, in some cases, 6 months at...

  12. What do current ivory tower types mean when they talk about "nursing leaders"

    Q. replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Agree

  13. Can't go with family on vacation. Is it worth it?!

    Q. replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Seniority should count in that more experienced nurses are paid more. Seniority should not mean that a 2 year employee (who is an experienced nurse too btw) shouldn't be able to take a planned...

  14. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Q. replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    See, and my friends who are instructors (related to the post above) have a master's degree and 10 years experience make about $35,000

  15. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Q. replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    There was a tell-tale case in Colorado I believe; 3 NICU nurses were taken to criminal trial for their part in the death of an neonate who was given, what, PCN either wrong dose or route? 2 pleaded...

  16. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Q. replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Deb. To a point nursing pays great especially right out of school, and considering the minimum amount of school you need is an Associates, it's great cash. But it really only pays great...

  17. I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

    Q. replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to also feign shock and surprise; when we were out with friends and they'd ask, I'd look at my husband in shock and say "I thought they were with YOU!" Or, I'd reply that they are in the glove...

  18. I am sick and tired of being asked "Who is watching your kids?"

    Q. replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    People ask me that all the time at work, and these are coworkers! (I started a new job) Once they found out I had 7 month old boy/girl twins, they ask "So who watches them?" First of all, is it...

  19. Fired AGAIN!! HELP!!

    Q. replied to kwagner_51's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the poster is looking for guidance and how to proceed; I don't think she's looking to defend herself at this point. We're not the BON. I would suggest taking a refresher class, just for some...

  23. Should I go for my BSN?

    Q. replied to xxlilkacixx's topic in Nursing Career

    Ditto. I look at it also as not only an investment but also an insurance policy. When the day comes that you physically can no longer do staff nursing, the BSN will allow you many more options to...

  24. Childcare costs

    Q. replied to military spouse's topic in General Nursing

    My daycare cost for a 10 hour day maximum is $60/day for 2 children under 1 year. The center is open for 11 hours. They don't allow occasional use either; we pay a monthly fee for guaranteed...

  25. Need A Sedentary/desk Job !

    Q. replied to MCF's topic in General Nursing

    To be an instructor the standard is a MSN or at the very least, your BSN with some credits towards your
