   Well obviously it is meant to be tongue in cheek, but sadly there are people out there who do believe this crap. Hopefully the OP isn't one fo them and knows IT"S A JOKE?

6. The future of Obamacare

   shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism

   Good points UKRN...and I do believe you agree that the government cannot be trusted, as implied by your word "corpocracy." Therein lies the problem. Do I care that some people are influenced by Fox news media? No. Many people are just as influenced b...

7. The future of Obamacare

   shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism

   As I stated before I am neither a republican or a democrat, so I am not here to get into any "political warfare." I was simply stating that you can look at both sides of the argument and find ugliness on each. Yes, the war sucks, too many people have...

8. The future of Obamacare

   shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism

   How soon we all forget about the "thugs" from the left during the Bush administration. Remember Cindy Sheehan? She was anything but calm, and went over the line many times in her war-protesting rants. Left wing media made her out to be a hero. Speaki...

9. The future of Obamacare

   I would like to just say that I have a friend from Toronto, and she is not a fan of the universal health care system in Canada. Her uncle had to wait 7 months for basic hernia repair surgery. It was a long, painful 7 months for him. If you think it w...

10. NO Pain medicines for my Mom!

    shuuu1968 replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    I think the son should come in and assist or just watch for a few days while you do the dressing change, maybe seeing his mother writhe in pain may snap him into reality. I hate when family thinks their loved will get "addicted" when they are on hosp...

    This sounds good to me.

12. What do you write on your pt's bulletin board?

    shuuu1968 replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    We put patient name, room, date, diet, activity , rn, and ca. Diet and activity in case someone else answers a light and doesnt know the patient, they can see it says "up with assist" or "cardiac diet" or whatever. Helps us so people aren't calling u...

13. Stress-proned

    shuuu1968 replied to -alice-'s topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you see if you can shadow in a few different units of the hospital? Maybe some more stressful ones like ER or step down. That way you can get a feel for it. Respiratory therapy is a lot of bedside care, and can also be stressful, especially...

14. Nursing Sucks! Or Does It?

    shuuu1968 replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing, The quote regarding the unit clerk and her "reality check" bouncing...be careful. I am so grateful to my unit clerks when I am swamped with new admissions, and they are there for me to enter new orders, call consults, page md's, etcet...

15. Nursing Sucks! Or Does It?

    shuuu1968 replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    I think the forums here allow us all to vent as nurses, without the reprimand or scrutiny we would get if we did at our jobs. It is a safe haven where we can all vent from time to time. I think that overall most nurses enjoy nursing, but maybe not s...
