  1. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    GooeyRN replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    That is my thought, too. Next time say you are simply going to have some medical testing done so you need time off. You do not have to share what testing you are having. If your boss is not a...

  2. 5am "fog"

    GooeyRN replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    3-5 am was so rough for me... Taking a walk outside, drinking some water and a snack usually helped. Walking was the best thing to pull me through. I really did not feel like it but made myself. I...

  3. Cool test: Left VS Right brain....

    GooeyRN replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    Neat! I saw it counter clockwise. Then I took a rest and it was going clockwise and I couldn't get her to go the other way

  4. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you... That is what I assumed. I was wondering if fear of getting picked on was a reality for intact men. I just can't picture a man picking on another man for something to do with his...

  5. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do men comment on each others

  6. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    GooeyRN replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    ITA! We selectively/delay vaxes. I spent a LOT of time researching each vax. I also have a hard time with the using "an atom bomb to kill a fly" mindset of medicine. What helps me, is I tell...

  7. Well, it finally happened after 2.5 years...

    GooeyRN replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry the woman treated you like that. She probably was like that since I assume she is feeling a loss of control over her loved ones health. She wants to control something. YOU are an easy...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ITA. You can't argue if someones mind is already made up. I also hate the misinformation

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Religious reasons is a whole different story. I understand that is more of a "must do" kind of thing. I just mean those that aren't Jewish/Muslim/other religions that require it. I know many people...

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why not let the child decide when they are older? It is their member after all. I think it would hurt just the same regardless of

  11. how do I present my concerns without seeming negative?

    GooeyRN replied to Duckyaryj's topic in General Nursing

    Team nursing works well when you can communicate well with each other and already know most of the patients. Everyone has to listen to and take report, even if you are the med nurse. If you get a...

  14. Customer Service and 24 hour visitation

    GooeyRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be working there anymore. It's a hospital for sick people. NOT a hotel/resort with maid service.

  15. Switching from Team Nursing to Modified Primary Care

    GooeyRN replied to jodi_cmsrn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The RN and LPN both will take 5-6 patients, and the RN does charge duties as well. AND they (RN's) do the push meds, and hang blood for all of the patients. It sucks for the RN. It's how things are...

  16. Do you start your own IVs?

    GooeyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have an IV therapy

    I have both licenses current. I am in PA. I hope you get a job you will

  18. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    GooeyRN replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't trust the government. Nothing and no one comes before my very young children. (2.5 years and 6 months) I will not abandon my children. No way, no how. That would mean my kids would die....

  19. Do nurses get mad when..

    GooeyRN replied to ProLogic's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care how many visitors are in the room, children or adults,as long as they get out of my way when I need to care for the patient, and aren't making a lot of noise/being disruptful, or asking...

  20. which professor would you pick?

    GooeyRN replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    I would choose B. I learn better when there isn't

  21. Should boyfriend help me out?

    GooeyRN replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    I don't think you should rely on your boyfriend. What if he breaks up with you, or you no longer want to be his girlfriend? Then you are stuck financially. If you are living together, I don't see...

    GooeyRN replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think its

  23. Do all nurses get assaulted by patients?

    GooeyRN replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I have been hit a few times working in LTC and psych. Avoid psych, LTC, and the ER and that should cut down on a lot of the risk of being hit. I haven't been hit very often in med/surg but that was...
