1. Question for Nurses who are MOMS

   gusblom replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thats right, keep us men out. Don't you think we have family and commitments the same as you? One day you'll wake up and find the nursing profession overtaken by men. And yes, we are responsible fathers as well

2. Patients and the race card

   gusblom replied to CanadaEh's topic in Relations

   Most people play the race card at some time or the other and patients are no exceptions. Blacks, whites, hispanics, and others are all guilty of it. I really don't care anymore but take exception only when race causes harm to the nurse, for example, ...

3. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

   gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Fribblet, she is doubting, nonetheless. As far as statistics go we have none because none is collected. Visit fbi.gov and see if we are represent in the crime statistics section. No, we are not. My point was that she can holler all she wants she will...

4. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

   gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   We're collecting it now from this thread since it is not commonly reported because we are not worth it. Why are you doubting others experiences? Can't you take us at our word?

5. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

   gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

   Thank you for that advice but does minimum force necessary, whatever that means, apply only to nurses? We're not talking about hitting a man when he's down. As far as the law goes one is allowed to use the maximum force necessary to protect life and ...

   Well good for you ms go-lucky. You are not to speak for others either. Violence in nursing is more commonplace than you think or have experience so please do not discount the experiences of others.

   Cultural issues with searching and scanning? So what! Only in America we are not allowed to protect ourselves. Whats your answer then?

10. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

    gusblom replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    I live and work in Texas and not all Texans carry guns, unfortunately. Nurses are especially vunerable to attacks and you are right, no one cares. After a vicious verbal attack which was followed up by another family member, I was tempted to turn in ...

11. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gusblom replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Say it as it is Sister!:yeah:Some nurses are just too opinionated with regards to patients' rights and put themselves and patients at risk. You're right on.

12. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gusblom replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    missjennmb, your arguement is way out of context. This is a perfect example of crooked logic. Where do you come up with such things? I agree with Lola77 and was willing to consider your side until I read further.

13. Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    gusblom replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Since you are so weak a person to know and act otherwise, you are too old to become a nurse. I was 42yrs old when I became a nurse and never thought twice about it. Please look elsewhere for psychotherapy. You probably would not be strong enough to p...

14. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    gusblom replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients' rights must not be trampled upon. Nurses' duties to their patients must not be trampled upon. The patient has a right to eat or drink whatever he/she wants. The nurse has a right to follow doctors' orders. A nurse must not physically preven...

15. Am I Babysitting or Supervising?

    gusblom replied to BSN_after_40's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the world of longterm care. At first glance we tend to blame the union but where I work there is no union and the same thing occurs. I blame higher up management who befriend the cna's and allow them to get away with almost anything. The b...
