  1. Wearing Cologne to work Yes Or No

    OliveVinesRN replied to KarmaWiseRaven's topic in General Nursing

    I do because I work in psych and most of the people I work with don't have medical problems. And when I put some on, I put on just a bit and lighter scents like splashes. I know that some of the...

  2. I Contracted HIV

    OliveVinesRN replied to sarahwv's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that I am so sorry that this has happened to you. And I applaude the great courage it took for you to come and tell your story. Maybe it will help others who are in the same...

  3. Do You Hate Being A Nurse?

    OliveVinesRN replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, ButterPecanRican, you must be a Wu-Tang fan. I'm Chocolate Deluxe mixed with a little French Vanilla. LOL!!! Just an inside thang for those that don't know. But, to answer you're question;...

  4. poor people get poor tx?

    OliveVinesRN replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    I know, sad isn't it? And before anyone dare disputes me, I have experienced this firsthand as a patient. The other weekend, I had to go to he ER due to rapid heart rate/anxiety. Being that I just...

  5. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    No, this thread wasn't about racism, but I made it about that. And again, as I've said many times before, you're from the South, and I'm talking about people that you may or may not be like. That's...

  6. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care how you feel about me calling people in the South racist. I call it how I see it. You may not want to acknowledge it, or you may not know. I mean, if you're not black or hispanic, you...

  7. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, you can hang your coat right there. True Christians need not be offended because they are not hypocrites. I am talking about the so-called southern Christians that claim to love God, but hate...

  8. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    But it is and was interpreted that way because that's what was inferred. Of course, I see mostly southerners having offense to this. Well, usually people stay silent on issues until they hit home....

  9. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    No, my friend. You're interpretation was right on the money. He/she said, "come on back to God's country". And since he/she was from the South, that's what they were referring to. And the others...

  10. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for your response on this. This is exactly what I told him/her. And a lot of this rhetoric is hypocritical seeing as how most of them are intolerant to anything...

  11. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, i sure do. I do have issues with racists. I don't like that way of thinking. You should have a problem with it, too. Or are you part of the problem youself? If not, then don't worry about...

  12. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    And then you woke up!!! Look, I don't need you to tell me how well blacks and whites CAN get along because my dad is white and he and I get along just fine, thank you. And so what if the North has...

  13. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Pride does not equal arrongance; I know that. I never said that it did. But I also know arrogance when I see

  14. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. You were the only one or one of the few who took it that way. How in the world could he/she have meant "God's country" to mean a beautiful area when there is beauty all over America, not just the...

  15. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    OMG!!! God's country? I know you're not talking about the South, particularly Alabama. I'm from Alabama and contrary to what people claim, this is NOT the Bible Belt. I hear so much about God this...

  16. Nursing with a Southern Accent

    OliveVinesRN replied to natron20's topic in General Nursing

    I am from the South as well, but do not speak with a Souther accent. Maybe it's because my dad is a northern transplant from Jersey. But, I have seen people that are not from the south react...

  17. The patient's family members

    OliveVinesRN replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    As if we aren't altruistic enough, now we have to deal with very rude, aggressive behavior from the patient's family member just because they cannot deal with their stress like an adult? Oh, I'm...

  19. I dont want to do this anymore!!!

    OliveVinesRN replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to let you know that I empathize with you. I feel your pain. I feel the same way and I've prayed on it many times. I don't believe it is you. Because if you're like me, you love the times...

  20. when your family member is acting obnoxious

    OliveVinesRN replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Well, there may be nothing you can do. I blame the nurses. If they put up with his behavior,then that's why he continues to perpetuate it. As his nurse, i would have a talk with him. I would...

  21. Anyone finish shift and not return to job?

    OliveVinesRN replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes!!! I just did that on my previous job. I HAD to. There was no way I could handle another night on that floor. My job was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off. I feared that if I went in...

  22. Do you regret being a nurse

    OliveVinesRN replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do. But don't let that discourage you. I just suggest you do some research and get the opportunity to get a taste of nursing before you make you final decision. Don't get me wrong, when I...

  23. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

    OliveVinesRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't that something like Eugenics or something of the sort? I agree with you fully. We are all God's children and we really are the same people in different shades of color. I don't know how this...

  24. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

    OliveVinesRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry that you had to deal with such stupid people. I tell you, the longer I live, I swear that I come in contact with some people that are outright ignorant. I think our jobs would be so...

  25. Job Discrimination...despite nursing shortage

    OliveVinesRN replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Now isn't that sad? A younger person could get sick as well. That was a stupid person that your sister talked to and I am so sorry for it. Let me tell you: Your sister is better off being away...
