  1. When One Child Is Enough

    As an adopted child, who is ...obviously... all for the idea of adoptiong, I have just recently endured the suffering with a dear friend the loss of 3 babies in a row -- she lost them all very early in her pregnancies, and has been devistated each ti...
  2. Reality TV : Nurses

  3. How can you say you're not paid well?

    What I keep hearing from the nurses I represent is not really that they are ticked off about money exactly -- it is more closely related to lack of respect their profession recieves, the long hours they work, the fact that they are not compensated fo...
  4. ER the T.V. Show

    I don't watch TV much any more, so can't say I caught the show. I am all for shows the portray the medical profession as just that the medical PROFESSION! I am SOOOO tired of shows in which the doctor is sleeping with his nurse/receptionist/patien...
  5. I pity those of you who have had poor experiences with educators. It is a shame that those bad examples have jaded you toward educators as a speciality though. If you had a dentist you were unhappy with, would that cause you to write off all ...
  6. OOOOOHHHH! Low blow.:stone Educators not only CAN, but have to be able to DO it AND explain it to others in simple enough terms that the novices can understand it and be able to figure out how to do it too. Anybody can go through motions -- monkey...
  7. Advice please re: evil clinical instructor

    Thanks for posting this!! This must have been REALLY difficult to do at the time-- risky, scary etc. BUT it was really the best move for everyone involved. by NOT saying anything to anyone, not only do you make other students suffer with this horr...
  8. taking priviledges away

    Are they yanking privileges because they are punishing staff for not getting enough done -- like grounding you?! Or what?! How big of a unit is this? How big is this organization? I can only imagine what kind of riot would ensue if management tri...
  9. I hate Anatomy/Physiology class!

    As noted above, the instructor can be a huge factor!! Unfortunately, you can't wave a magic wand and turn your boring, dry, snoozer of a prof into a dynamic, interesting and fun professor who gives you neat acrostics and funny stories to help you me...

    Small bottles of H202 -- to get nasty stuff off your uniforms!!!(or trial sized stain removers) Love the "big brother/big sister" phone number idea!!
  11. think my tonsills may be colonized...

    Uh-OH! I'll probably hemorrhage and die!!!:rotfl:
  12. think my tonsills may be colonized...

    I have been "chatting" with my Doc about this too -- constantly irritated throat, allergies make it truly miserable, snore like a hurricane and have apnea too -- he thinks it may be a good idea to get them out and give the airway a bit more "breathin...
  13. Dui

    Lost a childhood chum to a drunk driver 2 weeks ago. 6PM -- left the 7 kids (all under 12) at home with hubby and went to get groceries. 5 miles from home, drunk speeding sown the back road, hits a bump, goes airborn -- out of control -- right into...
  14. Just when you think you've heard it all......

    It doesn't surprize me -- unfortunately I think it probably happens alot more than we find out about. When I was in high school -- I was a certified NA, worked at a retirement home -- "assisted living at it's finest" or so they said. I worked from ...
