   Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Not in my opinion. But I think a more important question is (& I know your kids are supportive) is that they only have 5 more years until they are out to college. That is such a short time and the...

2. nursing a calling?

   Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

   AMEN! But in that same view, I believe to be caring and compassionate you have to LIKE being a nurse because after 12-16 hrs and people yelling, upset, gripey, etc it is a prerequisite. This does not...

3. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

   Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

   Was it wrong to berate the OP? Yes. Is it Hipaa? No. Is the facility rule superfluous in this case? FWIW I think so, but it's the rule now. If she had walked down to verify her id, it would have...

4. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

   Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

   We should have more privileges, but I do agree the problem is with the facilities rule and not the OP/lab tech and they should NOT be given a hard time over the FACILITIES rule. I have read the HIPAA...

7. Need some advice

   Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to shena25's topic in General Nursing

   It's not all about what *you* (as an adult person with choices) want. I'll agree to disagree. It's about the kids. What if you only saw your husband just on the weekend or he says okay I'm taking up a...

   Just some advice, wait till your kids are older. They need you and nursing school is hard. They are only young once and not fair on the

10. Md's Against Crna's?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think we need to do a little publicity ourselves as a profession [regarding the AMA ad thanking the doctor]. I see the same thing in practice. I do all the work, etc. and when the doctor comes in...

11. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard as I see. Don't think it is fair to the kids, though. The kidlets are only young once. Most people in school spend time studying and if they aren't they are thinking about school=less kiddo...

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing
