1. "Bless Your Heart"

   AppalachianSoul replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   I say, "bless your heart," "have a blessed day," sometimes and also "bless you," when someone sneezes ... Being in the south, It's just the way I was raised and the type of language I'm accustomed to. I think anyone offended by it is just over reacti...

2. Breast milk pumping at school student

   AppalachianSoul replied to shsnurse's topic in School

   I don't want someone's breast milk next to my medicine or food, honestly. It is technically food, but to me, it came out of somebody's body, so I really don't want anything to do with it unless I'm that person's baby. But it's a good thing that she i...

3. Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

   AppalachianSoul replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

   Are you being completely serious right now? You are telling me that two adults - regardless of the reasons why they can't get to and from work on their own - expect their coworkers to furnish them rides home from work? This bothers me. I like to len...

4. FLAME ON!

   AppalachianSoul replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

   Lots of things irritate me but a couple in particular during this winter weather season, equally, are the posts complaining about getting in trouble for not being able to come to work because of the weather, and the replies to those posts where peopl...

5. Puppy and nursing school?

   AppalachianSoul replied to arightnurse3465's topic in General Students

   Puppies in particular will require a LOT of attention. They don't come house trained so you will be chasing after them cleaning up poop and pee and spending a lot of time with them. Please don't get one only to find out you don't have the time for hi...

6. Discrimination in the workplace

   AppalachianSoul replied to Parrotindistress's topic in Activism

   OP didn't mention anything about wishing the other gender had their own hospitals.

7. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

   AppalachianSoul replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

   "Wouldn't it be a little hypocritical to warn the patient about his sexual remarks when she was putting it out there for him just a few days before?" This suggests that the nurse done something to warrant inappropriate remarks, which she did not. Not...

8. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

   AppalachianSoul replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

   I sympathize with the CNA in the paragraph.. My little brother and I sure were grateful for the "government handout" of food stamps back when my mother lost her job for those 3 months which seemed to last for an eternity.

9. The dumbest thing you've ever heard...

   AppalachianSoul replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   Not nursing related but a friend of mine (who is in nursing school too!) had a pregnancy scare a while back and we were just sort of talking about things, when she says it sucks that her and her b/f can't just try anal sex. I ask why is it they "can'...

10. What to do: ED physician brought dog to work

    AppalachianSoul replied to skinzvictory's topic in Safety

    (Hi all, new to posting but have browsed forums for years!) Of all the vile people the wind blows through the ED? Really? Not trying to be rude but OP just sounds like they want to make something out of nothing, for whatever reason. I wouldn't think...
