1. Do you take your work wherever you go?

   jhanes replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Does it seem like somehow we are to be germ phobic by design? Believe it or not, there were people who actually lived before the invention of antibiotics, Hand Sanitizer, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Perhaps being fearful makes people more li...

2. Entering Air Force Nursing...how to prepare?

   jhanes replied to JBFischer's topic in Government

   Better work on your upper body, particularly your arm strength. It makes flying soooo much easier!

3. What did I get myself into??!! I'm scared!!!

   jhanes replied to RN_Mommy_2_3's topic in Home Health

   Maybe the nurse she ran into is a troublemeker or has an axe to grind with the agency. On the other hand, it sounds like the company is putting a lot of pressure on the full time RNs. Not unusual. When agencies hire full time RNs, they often assig...

4. Am I crazy to take a hospice job?

   jhanes replied to rnjello's topic in Hospice

   Hospice Nursing may seem emotionally demanding at first, but in my experience, you will soon develop self satisfaction that comes from providing compassionate & professional care. On the downside, Hospice has become big buisness, with Hospice pr...

5. I am Afraid. Please Pray for Me.

   jhanes replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality

   I do not spout Bible verses or push my beliefs on others and would pray with a patient if they asked me to. I am not good at praying out loud off the cuff and have found that a general plea to the Almighty for support and help for the patient and th...

6. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

   jhanes replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I meant the Election. That was a qupote from some politician, not sure I ever knew who said it.

7. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

   jhanes replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   Whoops, forgot to "vote" in this pole. ROMNEY-RYAN, because I don't want my kids and grandgids saddled with any more debt, nor do I want our country and lives placed at risk because of extreme cuts in our military readiness.

8. Nurses, how are you going to vote? 2012 US Presidential Election

   jhanes replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   The polling and comments on Allnurses.com are dominated by loyal Union people, maybe not even nurses at all, so there is no way to know if those of us responding to this very unscientific pole are representative of nurses in general, or of the Union ...

9. Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

   jhanes replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government

   I was a little disturbed by the tone of the President's response as well, but I don't think he really meant the Corpsman (or Corpse-Man as the President might have pronounced it) couldn't even get a job as a Mere Nurse. The President probably doesn'...

10. Weird, but missing my old state's nurses union!

    jhanes replied to llbCCRN's topic in MICU

    It is 66% more expensive to live in Los Angeles than Columbus, OH. Was your salary 66% more in California? Homes cost 290% more in LA county than anyplace in Ohio. How much is your rent/house payment now? You paid money to the union each paycheck...

11. Would you work for a hospital as an Independent Contractor?

    jhanes replied to btoddrn's topic in Agency

    Do the math. $5-10 more per hour won't be much for trading off benefits, paying your own taxes and double the amt. of Social Security witholding, plus a LOT more for medical insurance, but if you have insurance through a spousal plan, then maybe 40%...

12. The New Face of Healthcare

    jhanes replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

    The trend has already started but will accelerate, by design, after 2012, when the Affordable Care Act will bring about a dramatic contraction in demand for nurses to match the multibillion dollar, government mandated cuts in healthcare spending. It...

13. How do you handle patient information on security sign in sheets?

    jhanes replied to Chi-townHomeRN's topic in Home Health

    And besides all of the above: It would not be YOU violating HIPPA, but instead the building management.

    jhanes replied to HM7380's topic in Relations

    I used to be an E.R. nurse and gets a little competitive down there. If you find yourself in a toxic workplace, get out as soon as possible and don't look back. Lif is just too short to put up with personal attacks, petty jealousy, etc. BTW, upon...
