   CFwoman replied to milenko's topic in CRNA

   Compassionate, caring, supportive Nurses shining through...........Just when I want to step in and defend how helpful we are, I read this kind of crap.

2. Does your hospital use agency nurses?

   CFwoman replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

   Our hospital has to because they can't seem to keep any regular staff. Personally, I absolutely LOVE agency Nurses. They are very bright, have a wonderful attitude and they don't put up with the BS like many of the staff Nurses do.

   CFwoman replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

   Snitch Nurses. Every time I read posts like this it makes me feel sad that our occupation comes down to such a trashy level. What happened to teaching, support and encouragement for one another? To me, it seems to be slipping by the wayside. More and...

4. NS needs help with Anxiety

   CFwoman replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

   Would you say the vast majority of the "anxiety attacks" are while you are at work? Do you feel a bit better when you are away from the environment, esp. if you've had a couple of days off? The reason I ask is because I was experiencing the same thi...

5. Marijuana for everyone!

   CFwoman replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

   I'm for it 100%. Do you know how many people are sitting in Federal Prisons that got totally railroaded by the system for having pot? It's sickening. Many child molesters don't get the lengthy sentences that people charged with possession of pot do. ...

6. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

   CFwoman replied to SoulShine75's topic in Career Support

   Most physical therapists and dental hygienists that I know make considerably more than RNs do. As far as the comment about X-Ray Techs "standing there" during codes, well, perhaps it is out of their scope of practice to be assisting. Just like codes ...

7. Do you ever wonder why you are here?

   CFwoman replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   I can totally empathize with you. The part that really struck me was your comment about children. As a very, very happy childfree woman by choice, I could just puke over the pressure to have children from our society. There should be ZERO pressure. M...

8. latex allergies in ambulatory care

   CFwoman replied to BugRN's topic in Emergency

   Here is a great link latexallergy. I think that many people take latex allergies lightly because it is really quite rare when you look at allergies in general. I know a lot of people allergic to wheat, peanuts, bee stings, but I had never even heard...

9. where are the nursing shortages?

   CFwoman replied to jenago's topic in General Nursing

   Heck, that's no rant...that's the truth. there is a severe shortage in CA, but the hospitals are doing it to themselves. Many hospitals in CA have their Nurses on 10 and 12 hours shifts, but they rarely give them both breaks, they cut the lunches sh...

11. Latex Free Hospitals in Hawaii

    CFwoman replied to zoshab's topic in Hawaii

    I have a latex allergy as well (Type 1). I became sensitized from inhaling latex protein over a period of months. All I can say is thank goodness there is a blood test to confirm this terrible allergy. I was having difficulty breathing, diarrhea, diz...
