1. Ultram cost me my new dream job

   wrightgd replied to KELLYGIRL's topic in General Nursing

   Many posters here indicate that their employer or potential employer is using information from a drug screen to discriminate against them because of medical issues... That's illegal!! If it has honestly happened to you, then you should protest. A...

3. Faking It

   wrightgd replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

   Toadly, Thanks for the insight! Very informative, but even more than that very open and honest. My prayers are with you. I think this forum should be open to anyone who has an opinion, especially an educated opinion, such as a medical professional ...

4. Work Comp case management

   wrightgd replied to dcarp's topic in Occupational

   Hi dcarp, I agree with Sharon. It's hard to put a number on what a case load should be, because just like any patient load, acuity has to (or at least should be) factored in. My company splits these into two distinct jobs... Either you are a case...

5. religion and nursing

   wrightgd replied to alikat70's topic in General Nursing

   Without trying to judge anyone's personal views, can I just ask a couple of questions please? How can anyone look at the natural world and all of it's inter-related complexities, and not believe that there is a God? Can people really believe that a...

6. Debt ridden nurses?

   wrightgd replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

   May I recommend to anyone who is having financial problems, or if you just need a little advice, listen to Dave Ramsey. He's a little over the top for some folks, but he preaches sound financial advice... To find a local station in your area that c...

   OK ... I'll bite on this one... And if I become a target for those who haven't seen the light, so be it. This is what I BELIEVE! My answer to your question is YES, you do have to believe in God to be a good nurse! To be a good anything... It is ...

9. I need advice.

   wrightgd replied to nice_nurse's topic in General Nursing

   Hello Nice Nurse, I would just like to offer some words of encouragement. Life is so full of looking back at our mistakes, but the fact is that you can't change the past. You have moved on, and outgrown those mistakes. Leave them in the past. If...

10. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    wrightgd replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have said, nursing is no different that any other part of life... Treat those around you with respect. When in school, focus on learning. When at work, focus on getting your work done. If you are concerned that you will be distracted...

11. "Shift goes to the lowest bidder..."

    wrightgd replied to fab4fan's topic in Activism

    I think many of us are missing the economic principles here... No one is going to bid below their standard rate. That would take a complete lack of financial sense on the part of the bidder. Ask yourself this... Would YOU work an extra shift at Y...

13. "Shift goes to the lowest bidder..."

    wrightgd replied to fab4fan's topic in Activism

    If I may... my $0.02 I think most of you are taking this way too personal. If you don't agree with it, then don't bid on a job... With the nursing shortage being what it is, you can find work anywhere you want, and as much as we all like to whine a...

    wrightgd replied to oh-agnurse's topic in Occupational
