1. What's the weirdest baby name?

   The Hated Consultant replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Had a teacher in HS named Pinkie. Worked with an Enjoli--guess her parents saw the commercials. Had a little girl as a patient named Truth. Have taken care of men named King David, and women named Queen Esther.

2. Only a third of nurses willing to have swine flu vaccine: poll

   The Hated Consultant replied to CityKat's topic in COVID

   Good layman's video, but nothing was said in there to change my mind.

3. ethical dilemma with a DNR last night

   The Hated Consultant replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately our society today is so litigious, you have to CYA at all times. It sucks and it's stupid, but you did what you had to do. I agree that this man was assaulted and HIS wishes had to be put aside, but it's because of that aforementioned ...

4. Only a third of nurses willing to have swine flu vaccine: poll

   The Hated Consultant replied to CityKat's topic in COVID

   No thanks. I'll skip this one. This hurried up band aid of a vaccine has been rushed into development and approval by people running around in circles flapping their arms screaming something must be done. Knee jerk reactions aren't what's needed.

5. Socialized Medicine: The Argument to Support Moving Forward

   The Hated Consultant replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   My litmus test is the copy of the Constitution I carry with me at all times. If it's not in there, the Federal goobement has no legal authority to act. I can't find anywhere in there where it says the goobs can step in and do what they're proposing ...

6. burnt at 24?

   The Hated Consultant replied to rosesarered's topic in Stress 101

   I can totally sympathize. I did office nursing for a while several years ago. I got SO SICK of dealing with people. People on Medicaid who couldn't afford their dollar co-pay, but who could be seen coming out of the convenience store across the w...

7. Going In Circles

   The Hated Consultant posted a topic in Career Support

   Or, am I just too old a dog to learn new tricks? I've been at my present job for almost 7 years. Up until now, I've enjoyed my work. Like any job, it has its days where I scratch my head and say "Remind me again why I took up this profession", but o...

8. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

   The Hated Consultant replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

   I had both a cap and a pin. The cap was one of those traditional cardboard things you see on TV; I tossed that stupid thing the minute after I graduated. I absolutely hated wearing it; it constantly was snatched by curtains and got caught up in IV ...

9. To Tell or Not to Tell

   The Hated Consultant replied to Novice1's topic in General Nursing

   It's not necessarily an employer's business why you have a gap. People have to not work for stretches at a time for a variety of reasons. If they ask directly, tell the truth with as few words as possible, but like another poster said, be prepared ...

10. Considering nusing school - advice?

    The Hated Consultant replied to momof3amk's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm 42 and just started with The College Network. I'm an LPN, and I'm taking the courses for the ADN. I figure after I finish and am working with my ADN I can continue on and take the courses for the BSN. I figure I've been doing the work fo...

11. fellow nurse, small error...what to do?

    The Hated Consultant replied to BigMar's topic in Safety

    Why not go to the nurse first, give her the opportunity to tell her side of the story, then go from there? It's entirely possible she doesn't realize she did something wrong, and you could use this opportunity for a little education among peers. G...

13. Nurses Smoking

    The Hated Consultant replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty pathetic.

14. Nurses Smoking

    The Hated Consultant replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    What somebody chooses to do with their own body and time is not my business. I hate the smell of cigarette smoke, and choke up when I get into a cloud of it, but it's still not my business. What rankles me is nurses who say they don't have enough ti...

15. Do you say you're a nurse...

    The Hated Consultant replied to picurn10's topic in LPN/LVN

    I had a lot typed here, but I've cleared it all out, because I'd probably get kicked off this forum if I posted it. I'm a NURSE, but apparently without the RIGHT letters behind my name. Talk about 'open mouth, insert foot'. I want an apology.
