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 more expensive stuff and heaview colognes do offend t...

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 situation. May God bless and keep you. You are in my...

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; No, I don't HATE nursing, but I do have a dislike ...

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 started a new job, I am in between insurance covera...

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 why you feel the need to defend it. And sorry to ...

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 probably haven't experienced it. You may have eve...

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 everyone in the process. I won't say what other attr...

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. The truth always does that to people.

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 know it, too. They're just got outted and they can'...

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 outside of the South or it's beliefs.

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 it. I obviously hit a nerve. I say if the shoe does...

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 it's share of problems. I never said that they did...

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

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 South? I took it as southern arrogance. I guess...

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 and God that. Well let me tell you, God doesn't con...

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 negatively to people with strong Southern accents. It's ...

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 sorry if I sound harsh, but I do not agree with that. ...

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 when you actually have time for the patient and ca...

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 explain why the current situation was not going to work...

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 another night, someone would end up dead. It was th...

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 first entered this profession, I had good intention...

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 racism thing began, but it is of the devil and I p...

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 much easier if we didn't have to deal with those dum...

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 from an idiot like that. But it is so sad that once ...
