Sorry My Butt Is So Nasty

[Sliceanddice]

Sorry, no pics. I have really bad tan lines. Have you seen how small some of those tanning beds are? Add in the fact that I'm kind of......thick in the rear end.....

I know girls who are in college to be CNAs, RNs, and LPNs. I completely understand how demanding that field is. I COMPLETELY, OH SO COMPLETELY 1110000% understand how mandatory overtime and 12 hour shifts SUCK. I may not be a nurse, but I have done overtime every week for nearly 9 months before, and I'm positive it'll happen again. That is no reason to be rude to patients. You are dealing with people's health and well being.

manditory overtime? should come here then lol, nurses here can work what shifts the want and even be payed not to work 2 days a month...

I don't see what her problem is. I know a bunch of people that get the shot, myself included, and we all get it in the butt. It's really your hip, and you don't even have to pull your pants off, just down like 3 inches.

My nurse sings and hums while I get mine because I hate needles with a passion. It's really cute and helps me relax

Depending on where on the hip it has to be, you might have to take down your pants to see the butt area.

I had to get a Rogame (is that how it's spelled?) shot when I was pregnant and after the baby was born. I am A- and my daughter is O+. That was literally in the butt. First time, I got the shot, lady made me bleed.

Rhogame...those shots are big and the vials were pink. When I worked at the women's clinic the doctor always had vials of them in the fridge. Thankfully I have a positive blood type, but hopefully SO isn't a negative type or I might have to get it if and when I'm pregnant....and I don't wanna shot in my booty!

Its Rhogam..

I feel for you. Those needles are HUGE!!!

Im in school to be an RN, and had to administer those to the pregant women coming in for checkups that were Rh neg..I felt bad for having to do it...

[CaroPhoenix]

Aaah ... so it's spelled with an 'h' in there.

Yeah, when I had to drive home after that, I was uncomfortable. Not as uncomfortable as driving for almost 2 hours on a broken tail bone, but still it wasn't pleasant.

And if hubs & I decide to have another child, I'll have to do it all over again.

I just didn't realize the needle was large. I just close my eyes so I don't look - I'm actually afraid of needles.

Thank you first of all for telling us how "nasty" your ass is. This kind of answers a question I've asked myself several times. Do doctors and/or nurses sit around the break room and laugh and joke with each other about the patients they've seen undressed? Or talk about how disgusting or nasty a patient's private areas were? Well, this thread certainly tells me that yes, it most likely goes on, and it's a real shame, let alone unprofessional, that we have people in the medical field who are like this. These are the people who have our lives in their hands, and the people we depend on to do the job right so we don't die early, or get sick when it's not necessary.

I was always under the impression that when it comes to OBGYNs and their nurses, butts and vaginas and breasts are like noses to them and they don't care.

Maybe I should have mentioned that this nurse looked really young. Could have been my age or just a year or two older. Maybe she hasn't seen a butt yet.

I feel for the day she ends up having to hand the doctor all the instruments needed for chryosurgery.

I've always thought that it was only a problem if the mother was negative?

I myself have had to have 5 of those shots (fun times). Both my boys are a+ with me being a-. darn that husband!

Its not a problem if you are positive, just like how you can receive O-Neg blood, because the negative is an absence of antigens, which your body wouldn't be alarmed by their lack, only if you don't have them and are exposed to them. O-neg are universal donors, but can only receive O-neg blood, if we (I'm O-neg myself) accidentally get O-pos or any of the others (A+/-, B+/-, AB+/-), then our bodies would attack the foreign matter and clot, severely, and kill us. (something like that)
Anyway:

Rho(D) Immune Globulin is a medicine given by intermuscular injection which is used to prevent the immunological condition known as Rhesus disease (or hemolytic disease of newborn). It can prevent maternal sensitization by Rh D antigens on the surface of blood cells from a Rhesus positive fetus in a Rhesus negative mother.

What froglet said, tropicsgoddess. If you're Rh+, you're in the clear. ::does dance:: Yay for being positive!

I'm amused that I can pretty much tell what blood type all my kids will have. I'm O+, Hubs is O-, so all our kids will at least have O blood. The +/- will be the iffy part.

I utilize the campus clinic and both of the girlie doctors on staff know my Mom (who is also an MD. She did her residency under one and with the other) so when I have an appointment the staff is exceptionally pleasant. Granted, that could also be because they are just nice or because I'm so comfortable around medical staff and clinics.

In either case, I don't mind so much. The same nurse did my whole series of travel innoculations for my Cambodia trip and my Guardasil shots. She knws I don't like to know when I'm being stuck and will look away to prevent myself from flinching. She and I have the procedure down to an art really. <3

Why bother being a nurse if you don't like your job?

I've heard the answer is "rich doctors".

[draftermatt]

I've heard the answer is "rich doctors".

Nurses can make some nice coin too.

LPN's typically make $20 an hour to start, RN's $30 an hour. Aides make around $10 depending on the facility and the area.

[LostMyMind]

Yeah, RN make some dough..... You think girl talk gets "nasty", they got nothing on a couple nurses talking shop. My mother tells me stuff that makes me say "what made you think I needed to hear that?"...... And she wonders why I don't like visiting the hospital.
