Before We Got Married ( Relationship Life Story by a Nurse)

The challenges of a male nurse who married a colleague doctor

It was almost in the last part of my internship at one of the State University's Teaching hospitals, during the Christmas period of 2012.

we were all getting ready with selection and arranging of all our documents from the various departments that we were posted.

 Gathering our attendance sheets and log books for signing and arranging our reports was the major work for that day. Every one of us was excited to finally be out of this place and back to school again, though we were to have our final exams in less than a months’ time.

One Of My Most Stressful Days (True Story by a Nurse)

I have had many stressful days at work.This is just one of them and I hope it will help to encourage someone.



Let's begin...

It was a day that got me into a lot of moods and emotions .It was a day that put me to the test of patience and self-control.
 It was also a day that I learned the lesson of responsibility in a hard way.

Even though other colleagues were angry at what happened, I was calm. Maybe because I was too weak to talk or even to get angry.

I simply did what I was supposed to do,took the next available bus and rode home, sleeping most of the time as I commuted.

WHAT HAPPENED?

When a patient slapped you

This post is a follow up to the story about Nurse Jane who was slapped by an angry patient while trying to explain to him how to take his food and medications.

Everyone was disturbed and angry but as usual,you need to keep your calm,recalling that he was still a patient and the customer was always right.

But would the customer be right when he assaults or tries to kill you even when you are there to save and nurture his own life?

I promised to let you know what happened between the hospital CEO, the patient and nurse Jane, today. So here is the story.

I Was Dumped After Buying My Wedding Dress

It’s September. That time of year when the air is cool enough to let you enjoy the sun beating down as you sit on a terrace sipping a glass of sangria. 

I’m laughing with my best friend about her disastrous dates. 

I used to be able to relate, but recently, it has been all about which flowers will be in my bouquet, who makes the guest list, what to do with those relatives I haven’t seen in 10 years but Mom says I “absolutely need” to include.

You, Do You

WARNING! If you clicked on this,make sure you read to the end
 
Written by Viola Ifeyinwa Okolie

I had a friend in school, the "most likely to succeed" type. 

She was brilliant - book and street smart - had the drive and ambition, was almost always the first to be considered for a position of responsibility but...

Ten years after we graduated, she was still job hunting.

From one mediocre, destiny destroying, slave labour masquerading as a "job" to the other. She would get frustrated after three months of deceiving herself she had a job, and kuku embrace her unemployment status with pride. 

Monitor Heart Rate With A Camera Anywhere!

How would it feel to be able to monitor peoples heart rates with a camera even in public places like bus stops,banking halls,schools and churches without disrupting anything?

The possibilities are endless.

The British company wants to make it easier to monitor patients in a hospital, police station, psychiatric hospital or an assisted living residence. It’s a non-intrusive way to make sure that everybody is doing well. The startup is launching onstage at Disrupt London.

Nearly Killed By Patient's Relations

It was a day that remains etched in my memory and even though it’s been many years now since it happened, I still recall clearly the terror and fear that ran through the cool atmosphere of that evening as they roared in anger. 

It was just one event captured in a certain place which depicts the risks that nurses and medics face everyday in the discharge of their duties.

Countless remain unknown because they are unreported.

What actually happened?

10 Foods That Help With Healthy Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most amazing moments of a couple's life, especially for the mothers-to-be. 

Carrying and nurturing the developing baby during the entire 9-month-long journey teaches you so much.

Health is one aspect that becomes of utmost importance during this time.

 This is because a woman is not only looking after herself, but also her baby inside her womb.

Woman Hides Recorder in Her Hair During Surgery, Catches Doctor Body-Shaming Her

A woman who says she was body-shamed by doctors and nurses while on the operating table — and that she has an audio file, from a recorder hidden in her weave, to prove it — is speaking out about the “physical, mental, and emotional scars” it has caused her.

“When you are lying there and these people have you uncovered and you trust them and they speak like this, it’s a bad situation,” Ethel Easter, of Houston, tells Yahoo Beauty through tears about her experience at Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital in Houston, where she had hernia surgery in August to help correct a severe case of acid reflux.

 “It’s given me self-esteem issues.”

Things You Should Never Say to Someone Who Has Cancer

It’s important to choose your words carefully when speaking to a cancer patient. Though you probably mean well, it’s all too easy to accidentally insult someone.

According to Barbara L. Andersen, PhD, a researcher and professor of psychology, two of the best things to say are easy: “I’m sorry you’re ill” and “I’m thinking of you.” In fact, sometimes gestures speak louder than words. For instance, sending flowers or watching TV with your friend can offer comfort. 

Every cancer patient has a different opinion and experience, of course, and many know that you do mean well. But to avoid putting your foot in your mouth, don’t utter these next 

10 Phrases you should never use for a cancer patient.

How Technology Can Benefit You As A Nurse

In the early days of online education, serious students viewed the entire concept with great skepticism. 

And for valid reasons: dial-up Internet connections were too slow, educational institutions popped up out of nowhere that no one had ever heard of, and the list goes on.

 But technology is forever improving. Below are several reasons why today’s distance learning options are fantastic options for those who are seeking a quality education from an online nursing school.

• Many courses today have progressed well beyond one lackluster slide after another. Broadband connections have greatly improved the streaming videos that make an online classroom come alive. Students can now see and hear their instructor deliver a prepared lecture, often in real-time.

Women who work or lift a lot may struggle to get pregnant

Women who work more than 40 hours a week or routinely lift heavy loads may take longer to get pregnant than women who don’t, a US
 study suggests.
Researchers followed 1,739 nurses who were trying to get pregnant and estimated 16 per cent of them failed to achieve this goal within 12 months, and five per cent still hadn’t conceived after two years.

Working more than 40 hours a week was linked with taking 20 per cent longer to get pregnant compared to women who worked 21 to 40 hours.

What Is The Nursing Process?

I know that this question would look too common and ordinary for majority of readers.However I am posting it to refresh our memories and also for the new nursing students who need to consolidate their knowledge of certain basics of nursing.

Its also in the spirit of the nurses week.

The common thread uniting different types of nurses who work in varied areas is the nursing process—the essential core of practice for the registered nurse to deliver holistic, patient-focused care.

Fainting While Urinating

Have you ever experienced it or you know somebody that ever had such?

You get up from sleep in the day or night,seriously pressed and uncomfortable due to the feeling as if your bladder is going to burst in a few seconds if you didn't empty its contents.
You dash off to the toilet and begin to empty your bladder,then suddenly you black out and the only  thing you could remember afterwards was when you started to urinate.Every other thing that happened was a mystery.

10 Signs Of Menopause

MENOPAUSE!

Not in the mood for sex? Suffering joint pain? 

You could be on the brink of the MENOPAUSE: up there in the diagram are 10 signs every woman should be aware of...

Its a natural point or phase that must be experienced by any woman who lives long enough to get to the age.

The menopause is the time when a woman's periods stop. In the UK, this usually happens between the ages of 47 and 53. People often refer to it as 'the change.'Some people have theirs earlier and this accounts for the fear in many women sometimes when pregnancy delays in coming.

Does Menopause affect sex?

The truth is that there's no reason why you can’t continue to enjoy a happy and satisfying sex life during and after the menopause, if you want to.

Sexual Harassment By Patients,Ever Experienced it?

Have you ever had this experience? After reading kindly share your experience below in the comment box to help other nurses know how you handled it.

Many nurses have had to contend with this issue at one time or the other in the course of their practice.

I have personally noted this most times especially in surgical or orthopedic open ward when patients are not necessarily ill but are simply incapacitated because of certain orthopedic impediment.Hence all other parts of the body including the perception and speech are intact.

Nurses have also reported sexual advances in patients private rooms where they had gone to care for such.Nurse are caring and patients sometimes misunderstand this to mean a call reason to advance.
