It was a private nurse that found her - was the nurse - sm
hers or the baby's? Why have a private nurse in the first place? Seems a bit odd.
i was under the impression....
that filing for personal bankruptcy would be better.....no hassle, debt completely is wiped away and a friend of mine did it and now 5 years later he has credit cards, but uses them and pays off FULL balance each month, and has just gotten a car. He said it was the best thing he ever did. I am also looking for a way out from under my mountain of debt and have been talking to various people,,,i think I am gonna do the BR route.... I am way over 45,000.
I was under the impression...
that she had done the surgery, but I really don't follow it all that closely because I don't find a woman having a baby all that spectacular. I have done it once and am about to again--although if I could get the money that she/he gets for appearances, I might tell some stupid story, too.
my impression was that it was extreme
overuse of laxatives - don't know of other causes but you might ask for a review of the slides by someone else (assuming diagnosis was made by biopsy - otherwise I don't think they could be that sure).
I get the impression she's expressing more anxiety
here (as in venting and getting emotinos out) than she is emoting to her son.
off our seatbelt till the car stops."

Ooooh, I slept till 10:00 also that was after
being awake from 3:00 until 5:30 which is not unusual. DH and DD left yesterday to go do some private horseback riding lessions about 2 1/2 hours from here. DS left at 6:00 this morning for a speech cometition. Yes, after I had just fallen asleep at 5:30 he woke me at 6:00 to tell me bye. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything today. As a matter of fact, I took a nap from 12:30-1:00. I am such a bad girl.

I tried to tell the nurse
no thanks, I don't want to weigh today, but she pestered me nonstop - come on, just get on the scale, oh come one, we need to weigh you, hop up there, on and on and wouldn't just walk me to the freakin room until I just gave in to save the embarrassment in front of everyone passing by....
When I worked as a nurse (sm)
There was this CNA who would open up the windows every time someone would die. I thought she was kooky (for many reasons), but she said it was to release the spirit of the person.
I'm not superstitious, but I won't eat beans more than 3 days in a row.
Do you have ask a nurse in your area?
I don't believe this is mental illness... it could be something else. In my area, you can call the local hospital's ask a nurse for free advice, and believe me they are there not to get more business, but to give good medical advice in case you need to really see someone. Bipolar is different. SOunds like getting older mixed with stress. I know I am that age with small children and I forget my glasses are on my head! But you definitely should seek medical advice because he might have a form of dementia, not necessarily Alzheimer, but maybe something which can take medication, vitamins, or a certain type of balanced diet with stress training. Good luck!
Mean nurse story
Had to share this story of a mean nurse. My aunt went in the hospital for a total hip replacement. She had the surgery and the following morning she was in bed sleeping. Her nurse came in and asked if she would like a sponge bath for her back. My aunt said no, I just took a shower before I came in last night and I'm in a lot of pain and would prefer to not even be touched. The nurse said of course she understood and asked if there was anything she could get her (pain meds, water, tissue, etc), my aunt said no thank you I'd just like to sleep for awhile. About 5 minutes later the supervising nurse came in and said to my aunt "you need to have a sponge bath". My aunt said I already told the nurse I don't want one. I just showered before I came in yesterday. The supervising nurse said "I don't care, you're going to get one whether or not you like it. Grab the side rails on the bed and roll onto your side". My aunt said she was screeming in so much pain she knew the people down the hallway could hear her. I was absolutely horrified to hear that a nurse could treat a patient so bad. My aunt ended up reporting her to her doctor and her doctor was mortified that a nurse would do that to a patient. Especially since my aunt had just taken a shower less than 24 hours before that. I wish I lived closer to her and if I was there at the time I would have given this lady a piece of my mind. I don't know what happened to the nurse. Hopefully she was transferred somewhere where she will have no patient contact - maybe the mortuary would be a good place for her! I don't care if a nurse or someone who has contact with patients are having a bad day or what. That is no excuse to treat a patient like that.
Get asked if I am a nurse
I've had several contacts with doctors who don't know me when taking my daughter to urgent care and also when I was in the hospital recently for surgery, and in talking with them about medical issues, they invariably ask me if I'm a nurse. I guess I sound like I know enough to be a nurse, but not enough to be a doctor, as they never ask if I am a doctor, LOL!
Sicko to nurse a kid until they go to school,
poor kid.....
Being a wet nurse and breast-feeding a 6 yo
Competely different. I have been a wet nurse. I have several children. I've been a gestational surrogate. I have NOT, however, breast feed a 6-year-old. That is disgusting.
Awww...what a good nurse you are! Will say

No, Cybil the baby's nurse
is my niece. She reported this on Facebook this morning as she worked in the ICU. I thought I should post it as she requested to get the word out.
Should say the child found in Florida proved to be the Caylee child, homicide.

Local news story about nurse in ER SM
who was supposed to give patient 800 mg of Dilantin for a seizure and gave her 8000 mg instead, causing cardiac arrest.
The drug came in vials and she had to round up every vial on the floor to give this dose, never questioning it.
Mistakes happen, but this is just too bizarre.
Mylanta - our doctor's nurse recommended (sm)
You can dab it on the spots. Also what works for us - depends on her age (you may have said, I missed it) is Campho-Phenique - it is not made for that necessarily and doesn't taste great but works well to take the sting out of any kind of mouth sores.
I hate those things- a nurse told me
when I asked about them at a doctor visit that obese people get them. I don't get the connection but have found that since I have lost about 70 pounds while I am still overweight the skin tags seem have gone away.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse - not sure about BC?

I know, I also feel so sorry for the nurse who administered the meds (nm)

I'm a volunteer nurse at the free clinic
I do medical transcription for money and nursing for free. I've been a nurse since 2001, and I sometimes miss people! Unfortunately, since I've upped my hours at work, I haven't been able to volunteer for the last couple of months.
Doing the free clinic is not like actual nursing work in that there's no backstabbing and pettiness, just appreciation. It's scary, though, knowing what medical problems people have been having for days and have to wait for the free clinic day because they couldn't afford the doctor's office (or the hospital). However, the doctors who do volunteer have the free clinic patients come to their real clinic for free if they have an issue that can't be addressed at the church where the free clinic is located, like drainage of a cyst or something.
Anyway, I wish I had more time for it. *sigh*
Don't have to be a nurse to be a good scheduler, efficient office manager....sm
When I did this type of thing in addition to clinical duties, I knew from common sense that the doc could only see X amount of people, depending on if they were new patients, involved visits with procedures, etc, and planned accordingly. The doctors want to pack the schedule to make more money, and the "girls" (How I hated being called that "my girl") had to go along with it in many cases. But when I was office manager, I made sure I spaced accordingly, because guess who got to leave the office as soon as the last patient (the doctor), and guess who got to clean up examining rooms, clear up doctor's desk, answer all nonessential phone calls for them, close down the office, etc....me! The one making chump change.
Our old OB head nurse had to talk one lady out of naming her daughter Vagina, said she kept hearing

I love the Thorne/Donna thing. Can't wait till Donna sticks it to Stephanie.
How is this kid in school with chronic infestation? School nurse
s
Yes, with my second child.
He is now 13 and has never had any problems. Just pray, God will work it all out for you and I will keep you in my prayers also.
Tell me a little about your child, please
Thanks.
Thank God. Having your child taken would be the

As a child...
I never sucked my thumb and never had a pacifier. I had crowding of teeth as an adult because of wisdom teeth pushing on them. It really is the size/shape of your mouth/palate that determines crooked teeth, and that is determined by genetics.
More than one child
We were planning on only having one child, but 10 years later (she's almost 4 now) we did have a second one which I of course don't regret for a minute. The only thing I can say is don't listen to those that say you have to have a second child. That's all I heard for years. How can yo just have one, and on and on. It's nobody's business but you and your husband.
Yes, have gone since I was a child.
My kids also go, ages 20, 17 and 15. It fills my spiritual tank for the week and our pastor is so wonderful and uplifting and we have a fabulous congregation. I don't feel right if I miss a week.
No H is an only child LOL.
That is probably what the problem is too. No other children to dote on.
A dog is not a child and has different
needs from a child. But even a child is put in a bassinet to sleep in when they are small to control how much they roll around. Then later they are put in a crib. Is that a cage for you too? Or do you put the child on a full-size mattress and hope for the best? No, you carefully listen to all the rules about safe mattresses for infants and how soon pillows can be used and what position is safest for an infant.
For dogs, you need to get to know them before you give them free reign of the house. Otherwise they might get into something we didn't think of to put up and die. This dog is in the age range of 12-18 months. We can already tell he is inquisitive. We don't know how much time he has spent in a house because he was abandoned at the shelter. We will observe him and train him and grant him more freedoms as he proves himself ready.
Dogs in the wild use dens. You are misinformed, probably by PETA folks who would have you release your Yorkshire terrier to the wild to fend for itself if they had their druthers.
I was 29, he's my only child
before I had him I had two miscarriages in the same year (when I was 28). He is almost 13. I'm in downstate NY and at his school school (it's a Catholic school) many of his classmates' parents are at least as old as I am. Hope to get married soon but probably too late for another..
of course he is my child
I have his age wrong though. He is 31. How on earth can I or should I stop him from stating his own opinion? It is certainly not unusual for an 18-year-old male to use the word, even when talking about his evil GM. He was 18 when dear G'ma died. I'm telling you, the woman was evil, evil, evil!!!! Even my ex-DH (is there such a thing) didn't like her. The only reason my older son liked her was because he was the first grandchild and she worshipped him. When my SIL had 2 kids, they were okay for a while, then she didn't want to mess with them either. She liked dogs and cats more than people. And, by the way, I am really relating to all of you out there who go to your MIL's for all the holidays and not your mom's. I did that also, because I dearly loved my FIL and my SIL, BIL, etc. If I had it to do over again, I think I would have shared a little more. My mom is only 70, but no one is promised tomorrow. We do all holidays together now.
Right - I don't think they should take the child because (sm)
no matter what, children love their parents and would be traumatized to be taken away from them, so unless they are being terribly mistreated, I don't think they should ever be taken. Children who go thru life in foster homes are rarely ever happy. But Social Services could go in and help them get things cleaned up if that is why. It may not be, but in my case that was the problem. I eventually at about age 11 or 12 went out and bought bug spray and sprayed my hair and brushes and sprayed my PILLOW regularly to keep the bugs away. I am sure that was horrible for my health but I was desperate.
Because he's still YOUR CHILD, and he still needs to know he is welcome. nm

child with SVT. sm
Hi. My 16-year-old son is suspicious for SVT. Anyone else experience this? I had made an appointment for March, and now the doc is calling me and wants to see my son next week. He has already had an echo and an event monitor. Don't know if I should be freaked out or not.
Yes, first child....nm

Would you have said anything about this child?
I was at a very big market (international) this morning and as I exited the lunch room to retrieve my cart, saw a very young child alone in a cart with no one around. I stood there not moving for several minutes wondering where a parent might be. I could not even see a person in front or back of him that seemed to be paying attention to this child (probably around 3 or 4 years of age). The serving line in front does have glass so I could see the people buying their lunches. Finally I noticed a man that was looking around frequently at the child and finally he got through the line and came and picked the child up. I approached him to say how it is so easy for a person to snatch his child (John Walsh's on AMW had his young child snatched and killed in similar, only taking a second) and this man looked annoyed and said thank you for your thoughts and hurried away. Clearly child endangerment here but would you have said anything or just let it go?
How do you know it was actually his child?
That's what's scary.
