  1. uniforms are killing us

    Oh gosh...would you believe that actually terrifies me? Who came up with white to start with? My mother told me a funny story about a nurse that wore a pair of underwear that had "smartass" printed on the rear...and apparently didn't know it as show...
  2. uniforms are killing us

    It used to be years ago, that what position you were dictated what kind of uniform you wore. The reason the hospitals changed the "dress code" had very little to do with self-expression and more to do with appearing to the public to be more staffed t...
  3. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    I think I need to clarify something before people start skipping over posts and making assumptions. I NEVER MENTIONED IN ANY WAY THAT POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER WAS NOT REAL...IN FACT, I NEVER MENTIONED IT AT ALL, SOMEONE ELSE DID. I ALSO NEVER S...
  4. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    I never said he was taking advantage of the system..an Army doctor had to make the diagnosis or else he would not have received the benefit.
  5. I Put In My Notice!!!...Now what???

    All I was trying to say is that the reason her employment situation is so bad , and she is overloaded, is because some hospitals are making decisions based on business and profit and they are forgetting that there are real people sitting in those bed...
  6. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

    That is horrible...I took Septra and Bactrum for years and "developed" an allergy after I took them for chronic UTI's. They started prescriping me Cipro after that.
  7. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    I think, and I could be wrong here...that the most sophisticated HIV test that we have can show only 3 months from initial infection. I do know that there is a considerable "lag time" for it to build up in the body for it to show up on a test. You c...
  8. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    I'll be happy to tell you why I "buy" that there is no such thing as the Gulf War Syndrome, and this may fall under the catagory of TMI, but here it goes. The guy I dated for two years practically lived with me. He received about $1200 from the gov't...
  9. Desperate !!

    My gosh, if you lived in my area you could come and stay with me. I think you need to talk to the head of the nursing department immediately to see if they know about any emergency student loans that can bridge you through until the end of the month....
  10. "Just" a 2-year degree

    I don't think that the pharmacy tech meant that you weren't qualified. We live in a society where the compensation for your job, usually, but not always, is highly correlated with your education level. Obviously this is not true of all people or all ...
  11. Does it HAVE to be an either-or situation???

    You are so right on the baby thing...my entire life, I was petrified of childbirth....so much that when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (and I had always wanted children) I had briefly considered terminating..I was just so fearful. I ende...
  12. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    Actually, I didn't know the rate was higher for cancer for recipients of organs....that is a good thing to know. When I said we don't know what causes cancer...I should have elaborated. For example, when we say that if someone is a chain smoker and g...
  13. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like you did. I was just speaking in general.
  14. Thinking about getting into corrections....

    This is great advice. I have a friend that works at the local max security prison as a recreational director...a female. She said that the hardest part of her job, is to deal with them playing with themselves right in front of her, and making crude s...
  15. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    Actually, I agree with this decision. There are too many vets making claims for Gulf War Syndrome..which is of an unknown cause. I dated a guy for 2 years that received a medical discharge from the service b/c of this...and never did figure out ho...
