1. How has nursing changed you?

   EGspirit replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

   For the record, I hope my patient was able to hear me. I doubt it, but I hope so. I did my best for him and his family, and my best is something I have always had a very good reputation for as a nurse, even among people who didn't like me. Keep in mi...

3. How has nursing changed you?

   EGspirit replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

   You don't get it. And I'm damn sure not going to explain myself to you.

4. Failed my drug test and I'm pregnant

   EGspirit replied to ianurse's topic in General Nursing

   I'm just a bit confused. When I worked in psych, where we did a drug screen on everyone, they test for opiates, not for any particular opiate on a drug screen. I don't even know if there is a test for just Fentanyl as opposed to hydrocodone, or morph...

5. What is the afterlife like?

   EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

   It doesn't burst my bubble. I wish you the best of luck finding the right man. It's not easy to do these days. Indeed. You do make an interesting point there. Because I've thought about that in the past. God (or the mind of God) can't deny that I...

6. How has nursing changed you?

   EGspirit replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not surprised you don't feel like the same person. The nurse at whatever level (PCT, CNA, LPN, RN) does earn a living, but they are in a vocation of service to earn that living, and that vocation of service--dare I say it: compassion and caring--...

7. What is the afterlife like?

   EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

   I wish I had a wife like you. I wish I was a husband that deserved a wife like you. In any case, you are a very positive light. Thank you for your comment, khminh.

8. What is the afterlife like?

   EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

   Honestly, I don't think so either. Clearly it is either continued experience or 0 existence. EGspirit will cease to exist, just as I do every day, just as I do when I enter a dream. After all, EG is something that exists in this world, and I will die...

9. What is the afterlife like?

   EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

   No, the onus is on you. Why? Because I couldn't care less if you believe the way I do, or if you know what I know. If you're not seeking answers, if you couldn't give two bits for the afterlife, or if you're a materialist through-and-through, then ju...

10. What is the afterlife like?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

    I understand. And I agree.

11. What is the afterlife like?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

    I absolutely agree with you. The idea that I will go to heaven is like hell to me. I mean there's no way I would occupy an important place in the Kingdom of God. I know me, and that just couldn't happen. So, while I'm slaving away making burgers and ...

12. What is the afterlife like?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

    What do you think this is? School? I'm not doing your work for you. You look it up. Google discriminate learning in paramecium. Especially, read the paper by the scientists (Armus, et al) at the University of Toledo. But go one step further. Instead ...

13. What is the afterlife like?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

    So, is that what you believe? That's not true, but I will challenge the beliefs of others in order to test them for myself, to see if they can modify what I believe. Because it's not just enough to belch out, "I believe this..." That's not good e...

15. What is the afterlife like?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality

    It's not some kind of judgement on SIP. It's the fact that he or she simply leads a material existence and probably doesn't want an afterlife. Maybe we have to want it to get it. But I still believe that some people will and some won't. I mean, not e...
