   I know those of us who follow football know who this QB is, and while he probably did get "perferential" treatment, he is basically a nice person. His demeanor on and off the field is consistent. He doesn't let his ego get in the way of his manners! ...

   To Amybeth56...This is a place for us to vent our frustrations. Please don't be so judgemental. It is condesending and annoying. If you do not like to read these comments, go somewhere else where all the Florence Nightinggale's reside. As the moderat...

8. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

   wisedonkey replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

   It is called youth and immaturity. I found her comments offensive, especially to you. I am glad I won't have to work with that person!!! And no, I am not sorry if I offended her, nor will I be. Grow Up and Deal With It!!!!

   wisedonkey replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

   I also feel badly for you that you feel "beat up on", but remember the cliche about the power of the written word. It is not what one says, but how one says it {or in this case, written}, that disturbed some people. You have every right to vent, but...

    wisedonkey replied to emilee1978's topic in General Nursing

    As a long time nurse with multiple experiences in various units and speciality care, I have been so burned out for many years but keep working as a nurse because I can not afford not to work as a nurse. A trusted physician who was also burned out, t...

14. First travel assignment - Texas

    wisedonkey replied to cryptic12's topic in Urology

    I think you are making a wise decision to accept an assignment close to home for a first time traveler. I chose the Carolinas specfically North Carolina because my family resides in NC. I chose the spring because I want to be at the beach or as clos...
