   OliveVinesRN replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

   I do because I work in psych and most of the people I work with don't have medical problems. And when I put some on, I put on just a bit and lighter scents like splashes. I know that some of the more expensive stuff and heaview colognes do offend t...

   I just wanted to say that I am so sorry that this has happened to you. And I applaude the great courage it took for you to come and tell your story. Maybe it will help others who are in the same situation. May God bless and keep you. You are in my...

   Okay, ButterPecanRican, you must be a Wu-Tang fan. I'm Chocolate Deluxe mixed with a little French Vanilla. LOL!!! Just an inside thang for those that don't know. But, to answer you're question; No, I don't HATE nursing, but I do have a dislike ...

   OliveVinesRN replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

   I know, sad isn't it? And before anyone dare disputes me, I have experienced this firsthand as a patient. The other weekend, I had to go to he ER due to rapid heart rate/anxiety. Being that I just started a new job, I am in between insurance covera...

5. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   No, this thread wasn't about racism, but I made it about that. And again, as I've said many times before, you're from the South, and I'm talking about people that you may or may not be like. That's why you feel the need to defend it. And sorry to ...

6. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   I don't care how you feel about me calling people in the South racist. I call it how I see it. You may not want to acknowledge it, or you may not know. I mean, if you're not black or hispanic, you probably haven't experienced it. You may have eve...

7. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   Oh, you can hang your coat right there. True Christians need not be offended because they are not hypocrites. I am talking about the so-called southern Christians that claim to love God, but hate everyone in the process. I won't say what other attr...

8. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   But it is and was interpreted that way because that's what was inferred. Of course, I see mostly southerners having offense to this. Well, usually people stay silent on issues until they hit home. The truth always does that to people.

9. Nursing with a Southern Accent

   OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

   No, my friend. You're interpretation was right on the money. He/she said, "come on back to God's country". And since he/she was from the South, that's what they were referring to. And the others know it, too. They're just got outted and they can'...

10. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for your response on this. This is exactly what I told him/her. And a lot of this rhetoric is hypocritical seeing as how most of them are intolerant to anything outside of the South or it's beliefs.

11. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, i sure do. I do have issues with racists. I don't like that way of thinking. You should have a problem with it, too. Or are you part of the problem youself? If not, then don't worry about it. I obviously hit a nerve. I say if the shoe does...

    And then you woke up!!! Look, I don't need you to tell me how well blacks and whites CAN get along because my dad is white and he and I get along just fine, thank you. And so what if the North has it's share of problems. I never said that they did...

    Pride does not equal arrongance; I know that. I never said that it did. But I also know arrogance when I see it.

14. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. You were the only one or one of the few who took it that way. How in the world could he/she have meant "God's country" to mean a beautiful area when there is beauty all over America, not just the South? I took it as southern arrogance. I guess...

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    OMG!!! God's country? I know you're not talking about the South, particularly Alabama. I'm from Alabama and contrary to what people claim, this is NOT the Bible Belt. I hear so much about God this and God that. Well let me tell you, God doesn't con...
