  1. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    Well, I checked back in after a while away...wanted to see where the thread I started ended up. Was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to see that it turned into yet another string of personal attacks and bickering over a topic OTHER THAN the OP. Mercyteapot and...
  2. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    Because it's not about the pharmacist's own personal beliefs; it's about the pharmacist wanting to dictate the patient's actions according to those beliefs. Because it's not about the pharmacist minding his own business and doing his job; it's about ...
  3. Pharmacists refusing to fill orders for The Pill

    So, what can nurses do about this? What can citizens do about this? It IS only going to get worse. If you had told me 3 months ago that I'd be reading this in the news today, I would have said, "Things are bad, but they're not going to be THAT bad 3 ...
  4. (Sorry in advance if not supposed to post articles...haven't been on the site in a while and can't find the rules about this.) Thought you all would want to know about this. -K. ========== From http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=710&...
  5. What Would You Do?

    I'm not saying you were wrong at all...in fact, I think you are totally "in the right." But - does the chain of command start with speaking directly to the person you're having the problem with, and then going to the supervisor if/when that fails? (I...
  6. Adult Strep Throat

    Had it twice this past winter...two cases just two months apart. The second one was the doozy. Kept me out of work for 2 weeks straight b/c the first antibiotic (Augmentin) did not do the trick. So my doc then put me on a fluoroquinolone (can't remem...
  7. RealNurseWitch - My first magazine job was for a company headed by a ROYAL jerk. He and I were like oil & water. Thankfully everyone else I worked with there was wonderful (except for two others, who were the jerk's brother and sister). At that ...
  8. Heart: Yep, I forgot to mention it was an accelerated program!!! I think if it had been a "full-length" program, I probably would not have finished nursing school. But my program was so fast, I was out and working before finally deciding that nursing...
  9. Bob, I'm curious: Did you mean that you worked in another field before nursing, and you can't go back for some reason? Or did you mean you didn't work in something else, but would switch back to it if you had?

  11. Thank you, Angel337! Yep, I stuck it out as long as I could, knowing that the first year is especially hard, and not wanting to give up too soon. If I were 10 years younger, I probably could have stuck it out longer, and it would've gotten easier. Bu...

  13. Hi there - I was a magazine editor until starting nursing school in May 2002. Graduated from nursing school in August 2003 and started working as an RN in September 2003. Passed the boards with flying colors, doing well at work according to supervis...
  14. My dad has prostate cancer, help.

    Brenda, I'm not an oncology nurse. I just found this site online: http://www.prostate.com/ProstateCancer/ProstateCancer.asp I hope it helps. My dad is going for an ultrasound of his prostate, and possible biopsy, tomorrow, so I'll be reading through ...
  15. Why do you come to All Nurses?

    No one else in my family is a nurse, so they don't "get it." My husband is in a completely different field and doesn't "get it." My kids are too young to "get it." But you guys all "get it." In nursing school, I used to come to the site to read po...
