I was told by a surgeon that I was salacious. ( I had given birth 3 months prior and d/t breastfeeding had centerfold-sized breats)

In response to the thought that vegans wouldn't use E.coli based things, b/c it comes from an animal...Bacteria are not in the animal kingdom,they are in thier own, just like plants are in thier own, so why would it matter? And they aren't aerobic like most animals are, they are facultative anaerobes. When do vegans stop considering something an animal? I am curious.

I would love to order sterilization for stupid people:devil:

I was married, had a good job, my own health insurance , a 1 1/2 year old boy, and I was pregnant. Husband became very abusive....had to flee the state and hide out until the custody hearing. I went on assistance and entered the address confidentiality program. The social worker helping me saw my wedding ring and made nasty comments about me having something like that while bieng on assistance. I kept my wedding ring b/c people tend to give my crappy looks for bieng pregnant without having one on. Dammed if you do dammed if you don't. There is no way to make everyone happy...some people get a high from bieng judgemental. I am now in nursing school but my kids still have state insurance. I can't afford it and the deadbeat ex isn't paying like he should. I cannot wait to get of state aid. I need it but the hell that people put you through makes it almost unbearable:dirty looks, s******ing, how can you afford that comments- it takes away your dignity.

As a pt I would not want a male to do my pelvic exams, be it an MD or an RN. I dont think he should without a chaperone. Working in a hospital I freqently hear male's describing thier female patients... anatomy. Men are more likely to sexually abuse than women are. Those are the cold hard facts. Stats show that women are more likely to be abused ( in america 1 outof 3 women are). to me that is a good enough reason to demand chaperones for males to do that type of care on a female pt. But male pt's should also be able to refuse pelvic care bieng done by a femae RN. Just because we medical professionals are clinical about the human body doesn't mean the patients are.

[color=#339900]i've come to the conclusion that my soulmate is having a never-ending dinner party with santa claus and the easter bunny. -- alice ridley behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes. - from "bruce almighty" no matter how good he looks, some girl out there is sick and tired of his bulls@@@!:roll no woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves.

my worst code brown happened at home. I was changing the baby's diaper-holding the feet up to elevate his little hiney. I bent over to retrieve the diaper I dropped and was "shot" by projectile diarrhea. It was on my face and in my hair! I finished changing the diaper while I was dripping w/ poo and got in the shower to clean us both up. Then my little bundle of joy proceeds to let loose again- all over his momma! EEEW!:uhoh21:

I am so sorry for those that have miscarried and not recieved support. It is a terrible thing in the first place without making mothers feel worse by telling them to "buck up." My condolences to you all.

My daughter was only a few months old and was crying...before I could get to her my 2 year old son pulled up his shirt and tried to feed his sister:rotfl: (His father was not amused )

Across the front of my shirt - Palpate this!

Nurse Goodnight, I said that I use school as a 50 hour work week. ( school MWF and Study T and TH)I see my children in the mornings and evenings(before and after school). My point is to get all your work done (studying)during the week so that you have the weekend just for family time. If I was not in school i would be at work the same amount of time instead. My children aren't bieng cheated. As a recent divorcee, I am trying to make a better life for my children by going back to school and finishing my degree. With appropriate time managment and support, the chilins can get the time and positive attention they deserve.:chuckle

It can be hard on the kids if you don't have enough help and good time management skills. If you can swing not working during nursing school, or working partime it makes it better for the kids. I treat school as a 50 hour work week and reserve the weekends for my chikdren . It works well. I don't even attempt to study while they are awake...it is too frustrating for all involved:rolleyes:

I have 2 kids, a 12 month old and a 35 month old . I just fnished my 2nd semester at UP. It is hard to find a balance b/w study/kids/alone time. It can be done but it hard. Reletives are a great resource! I wish you luck, you can do it!
