   Wouldn't that make Iraq one big sand trap?

2. Male Chest Hair and Scrub Tops

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

   No tee shirt because some of the rooms are HOT. Add the extras for an isolation room and it gets to be unbearable. So it is a choice about which you would rather not see: chest hair or sweat.

3. Trying to Bust a Strike

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

   I did not say athletes did not play golf but if golf is a sport then so is pool (billiards), ping pong, and badmitton. "The more the better" at any cost?

4. Trying to Bust a Strike

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

   You did say "whatever that means". Having been on all 4 sides of the issue, union and non-union hourly as well as management at a union and non-union company I believe that unions have a very big roll to play in getting better working conditions for...

5. Trying to Bust a Strike

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

   Have you ever walked a picket line? If not then you have no idea of what it takes just to get to that point and the emotional toll that it takes on you. So when someone crosses that picket line the emotions run very deep. The people that posted th...

6. Trying to Bust a Strike

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

   To me golf is a ridiculous activity, not even a sport. My family comes first but I do not need to make "all the money in the world", especially if in doing so I am harming my fellow nurses. This is what else there is in life.

   There is more to it than just the money otherwise you would not gleefully brag about working strikes.

8. Trying to Bust a Strike

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

   I will ask again. Why do you not support the nurses that are striking at a particular hospital by not working strikes?

   NurseGuy_in_06 replied to vmt's topic in General Nursing

   I am a second semester nursing student. Get yourself a GOOD medical terminology dictionary and use it. If I am reading/studying and don't understand a word I will look it up immediately.

10. Trying to Bust a Strike

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Town & Country's topic in Activism

    Why do you not support striking nurses? Why do you cross the line to work strikes?

11. Most dreaded Dr.'s orders

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    We were taught in school that "until clear" means until no solid feces came out, not until clear as spring water.

12. motorcycle accidents

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Oregon Runner's topic in General Nursing

    I just checked the USDOT site that listed motorcycle accident statistics. For the record: most motorcycle fatalities involve a drunk motorcycle rider, a large percentage involve a rider with no valid license, a large percentage involve a speeding m...

13. motorcycle accidents

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Oregon Runner's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you want stories of motorcycle accidents? After re-reading some of the posts I have to agree that you are trying to talk yourself out of riding. A scared motorcycle rider is a danger to everyone on the road. You need confidence to successfu...

14. motorcycle accidents

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to Oregon Runner's topic in General Nursing

    Outside of the pure enjoyment I get, the feeling of freedom riding gives, and the unique way it lets you experience your surroundings, I can't either. I have been riding motorcycles longer than I have been driving a car. Take the motorcycle safety ...

15. How to deal with being childless in L&D

    NurseGuy_in_06 replied to pebbles1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Would you actually ask this to a woman going into labor? I agree with another poster. Simply say "not yet" and "some day" then change the subject.
