  5. Sucky day + unsupportive spouse

    GS ED RN replied to WonderousIvy's topic in Emergency

    oof I read that and it hurt me --- its hard to talk to non healthcare workers about our line of work that is why I keep my work related venting to only nursing - no one else gets it PERIOD. I don't...

  6. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

  9. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    GS ED RN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  10. Nurses make me sick

    GS ED RN replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

  11. Nurses make me sick

    GS ED RN replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed- the OP seems like it comes from a place of bitterness - and also from a time when it was “taboo” to talk about our feelings - when we had to be stoic, put our heads down be so serious and...

  12. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    GS ED RN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I accepted the Trumpers for what they were -but the COVID minimizes/deniers, the anti-Vaxxers, the science illiterate (by choice) .... I simply cannot and that’s probably because I have such a...

  13. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    GS ED RN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  14. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    GS ED RN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  15. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    GS ED RN replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

  17. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    GS ED RN replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    this makes me thankful for the strict nursing program (catholic school founded by nuns) I went through that had a very traditional tough approach - they acknowledged the adversities and challenges of...

  18. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    GS ED RN replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

  20. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    GS ED RN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    when you had confirmed COVID-19 -- and if you had an MI/CVA/PNA -- yes it in fact legitimately would be impossible to ascertain COVID-19 as cause of death vs. the other 3 --- because as I am sure you...

  21. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    GS ED RN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    GS ED RN replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation
