1. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

   buffalobilly replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

   I don't look into it the way everyone else is. I don't even see it as "courageous" to back an employee. To me it's just, "The guy don't like such and such...oh well". I'm just saying as a society we're offended at every move someone makes. I wil...

2. Denver Weatherman Loses Job over Twitter Remarks about Nurses:

   buffalobilly replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

   His comments were weak no matter how wrong people think he was. Sensitive insecure people are the only ones who 'go after' people like this. He showed disapproval of a few people from a specific group 'out loud' and so he paid the price. Poor deci...

   His employer is spineless. Right or wrong society is weak and offended at every little thing...time to get over ourselves people. Nurse, cops, insert occupation here, people are going to disapprove of one thing or another. Accept it.

5. Confessions of a Clinical Instructor (Part II)

   buffalobilly replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Students

   CI 'professional judgement' is so subjective it's sickening. The 'set up' of nursing school, including clinicals, is all about statistics. Clinicals were all about do the paperwork and get the information into the computer...at any cost...period. ...

   Long story short, I feel as if becoming a nurse is a calling for me as well. Pray about it and do what you have to do to make it happen!!

8. Have you ever been mistaken for a doctor?

   buffalobilly replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Men

   I'm in nursing school and was told I was the best doctor this older woman ever had (all I did was raise the head of the bed). I thanked her and went about my way.

9. Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

   buffalobilly replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

   By today's standard of what harassment is my original statement makes sense. Women can be just as crude with approaches, comments, etc. but men must be men and deal with 'things' because....well....we're men and that's what we're supposed to do. Gr...

    buffalobilly replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

    '...nearly all women...'? I seriously doubt 'nearly all women' have been harassed in some fashion. If so, then it would be naive to say they are 'harassed' at a higher frequency than men.

    You'll be okay.

12. Pain medicine to drug addict?

    buffalobilly replied to MrBlueSky's topic in Medications

    You're fine. treat the patient. 'drug history not drug addict'...semantics. Beside the point however. Again, treat the patient. No, she should not have been written up. Counseled or 'told how it is' but not a write up. Too much flared up emotions in ...
