    My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    Hoosier_RN replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree, this post reeks of trolling to get reactions. New poster and all. At 2 months into a relationship, no s/o would have been forcing any issue, I would be stepping away, regardless of what side...

    Help, I Need a Pandemic-Proof Position

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Unfortunately, many are not regaining function. Years of chemicalized foods, drinks, and meds have done a number on many peoples body parts, making them weak so that an incident could take them down...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I must be a bully because I've never been bullied. I will put anyone in their place in a heartbeat, the minute they try to walk all over me. I'm noted as the "least easy to cave" nurse at work, but am...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    I don't know how much they can change conditions when bean counters ultimately have control. It's

    Pro Life?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Being that abortions were just coming out of the shadows, so to speak, and being openly talked about, I'd say it's very plausible that it's fairly memorable. Considering it's a very touchy subject,...

    Pro Life?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I can offer an answer to this. Many schools back in the day weren't dealing with the concept openly. Abortions, as a general occurrence, were discussed as up to about 20 weeks, as most states were at...

    You take that risk, which may be minimal or a high risk. Only you can decide if it's worth it or

    Help, I Need a Pandemic-Proof Position

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Dialysis. I never dealt with a shut down, in fact, work picked up. This would be clinic or acutes. Home services did no admits in my area for awhile, as they couldn't go into the homes for training,...

    Pro Life?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I'm a conservative but feel exactly this way! No one has the right to direct the reproductive health of another human, you don't know what has gone on in their life and it's no one's business. But I...

    Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Hoosier_RN replied to JKL33's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Until you see an ad for them. Then it's "we provide the very best for you", "we love our patients", and any other barf worthy slogan they're putting out there

    I Am Not Smart Enough For Nursing And I Have No Options

    Hoosier_RN replied to SuperBlue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into PT ST or OT. I think PT requires a Doctorate, while the other 2 require masters. Uses a lot of the same prereqs. Good money, better schedule, no on call or other

    Pregnant, when do you start light duty?

    Hoosier_RN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Or if there is no specific need for them to be on light duty, while you run even more, or pick up more shifts to cover the light duty person. I once worked with a young lady (in my factory days)...

    Nurses That Never Worked In A Hospital...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    No, because the patients are considered to be stable/subacute in LTC, whereas in the hospital, they are in an acute health

    Ageism in Nursing?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    My clinic has 1 unfilled nurse position, which is no big deal, it only adds a few hours a week to each nurse there, but during interviews, I don't know how many have said "I won't work early mornings,...

    Quit Job and Now Accused of Abandonment

    Hoosier_RN replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Truth, but if you're interviewing somewhere and they know someone where you just left from, it can change how you are viewed. Not everyone can leave off employment experience off, especially if it was...

    Quit Job and Now Accused of Abandonment

    Hoosier_RN replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    This is a falsehood that needs to stop. An employer/HR rep can say anything as long as it's factual. Attendance, roles/titles held, etc. Many companies won't say much, to avoid stirring the pot, but...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    Because, some large companies require that a "warm body" doesn't get passed up. Yes, as far as process, I told the recruiter that the interviewee wasn't a good fit for our clinic, but was willing to...

    What exactly IS an "Anti Vaxxer"?

    100% agree with your definition. Want to add to it that these folks also try to impose their decision upon you and tell you that you are stupid for following your own investigation into the

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Hoosier_RN replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, I'm going to say this again: as a RN, I understand all of this, so this was wasted on me, but okay ?. What I put out there is that I can totally understand, with the varying information coming...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Again, with so many mixed messages out there by our own govt officials, current admin included, it's very easy to see why people can become confused with the info. Your choice to ignore that is simply...
