  1. Nursing Diagnoses

    Is someone actually doing a nursing care plan. I thought those were made up like lunch breaks and safe patient ratios.
  2. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    We don't make the money that we should because we allow ourselves to be underpaid, undervalued and in many cases abused. Sorry but thats a fact. Unfortunately Unions are not the answer either.
  3. Not sure if I want to be a nurse

    To begin with you will not get compensated adequately for the skills that you inevitably bring to the table. You will have to compete with others in a market that is not as favorable to nurses as they try to make it sound. In addition you will most...
  4. I believe we need a male nurses week

    sorry have to take exception to this one. We all do the same job. What we need to have is a stop calling us "male" nurses week. I don't call my female counterparts female nurses.
  5. Pain is NOT subjective

    I knew someone would respond with the fibromyalgia. Sorry but still not buying it. I have aches and pains every day myself. I'll bet if I went to enough doctors someone would tell me that I have fibromyalgia. I have seen people with very minor in...
  6. Is looking at your own health info a HIPPA violation?

    looking at your own medical records is not a hippa violation. It may violate hospital policy but it is absolutely not a hippa violation. You must also realize that very few hospitals understand the hippa guidelines themselves.
  7. Best/ Worst Places to Work Near Punta Gorda.

    good luck, pay sucks, conditions are probably some of the worse in the country. The nurses down there tolerate it. Cost of living is higher than you would expect also. Didn't used to be but it is now but the hospitals will always site that to jus...
  8. Sjoe hit the nail on the head. I also wanted to return to florida from philly after finishing nursing school. What I found is the cost of living is comparable and in some areas more expensive in florida and the salary and work conditions are horren...
  9. Pain is NOT subjective

    To begin with only the complaint of pain is subjective. There are however very objective signs of pain that can be observed. If your telling me your pain is 8/10 (being 10 is the worse pain you've ever had in your life) and your sitting calmly read...
  10. I have traveled for over 2 years and have worked 2 full time jobs. We are paid a fraction of what we should be paid. In addition we are frequently not valued by the hospitals that we work for, Sorry but Its a fact. Working in the ER, assignment o...
  11. Weed-smoking roommate

    First of all it is always better for people to manage their lifestyles in a healthy manner rather than to rely on chemicals. Unfortunately that is not supported in our society. We encourage chemical dependency. Secondly I never said marijuana should ...
  12. Weed-smoking roommate

    Wow.... what a huge amount of misinformation out there! To start with my credentials: I worked with mental health clients for over 15 years including substance abusers so I have a great deal of training and experience with this issue. For starters pe...
  13. Taxed vs Non- Taxed Hourly Wage

    I felt really overwealmed at first also. In time as I've begun to get more information and understand it there are some good opportunities out there but its not a easy way to make money without understanding all the details and knowing how to negoti...
  14. Taxed vs Non- Taxed Hourly Wage

    A lot of these are scams that work out for the benefit of the agency more so than for you. As a traveler you are only entitled to this benefit if you have a permanent tax home. If you do then read on. There are 2 ways that they will do this. one...
  15. traumatized by vermin

    Your right they probably didn't feel the need for a lecture, just as most doctors don't lecture patients as to why they don't need antibiotics for a viral infection but prescribe them anyway because its easier. No harm there either.
  16. traumatized by vermin

    i guess it is silly when most research indicates that most of these horrible stories you hear have nothing to do with spider bites at all, let alone the recluse. silly, like when we almost killed wolves to extinction because we thought they were dan...
  17. traumatized by vermin

    If you pasted that long article the first line says exactly what I said. The brown recluse doesn't live in arizona. related species, yes, but not the brown recluse. That was my only point which you validated nicely
  18. Ever Heard of Fresno $38.50/hr???

    If you are talking about a travel agency that is not always true
  19. traumatized by vermin

    There are no brown recluses in AZ.
  20. traumatized by vermin

    The true brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) does not occur in Arizona, this is a quote from urban integrated pest managment. violin belly has nothing to do with a black widow, the black widow has an hourglass on its belly, and thats only th...
