  1. Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    HandsOffMySteth replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Can you show a study that verifies this? or is it just your opinion.

  2. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it also extends to the level of care. I have heard some bad stories about the UK and how you are treated poorly, have to wait much longer, and may be turned away. I think that is what she...

  3. Constantly being put in triage or fast track

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Stella_Blue's topic in Emergency

    If you have already talked with the manager and charge nurse about it I don't think there is anything else you can do short of leaving. Time to decide if you are willing to accept those conditions or...

  4. Commuting for a ABSN

    HandsOffMySteth replied to cirquedu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I drove a truck for 12 years and all sorts of things happen. The highway may get closed or a slow-down in traffic due to a wreck or road work. If at all possible try to find lodging close to where...

  5. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    If the OP apologized for those statements, I would be okay with that. I understand no one is perfect. Lord knows I've done some silly

  7. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    That would be true if you were on the job taking care of her, but no one here owes her anything. And I don't care what a person is going through, they don't have the right to treat others that way in...

  8. "My Nurse"

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Appleofmyeye's topic in General Nursing

    In the military, officers often refer to their first sergeant as "my first sergeant". If anything shows ownership and that infers pride in that person. Take it as a

  9. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    The OP said... "Thanks for the judgment, dude. I'm sure that's what you would want in this situation. I hope trying to make someone feel like crap on the internet made your day better." "Maybe if...

  10. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    Her initial post was within the norm and she got a lot of sympathy for her treatment by the staff at that facility, however, her reactions to some people at AN were inflammatory and rude. Such...

  12. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I plan on working until I need to call a code on myself. Maybe get a personalized crash

  13. workplace injury

    HandsOffMySteth replied to hopern84's topic in General Nursing

    This is a personal health issue. You have the same rights as any patient does. Your former employer may disclose that you resigned, but cannot give any detailed health related information. If you...

  15. Stomach Pain for 3 Weeks

    HandsOffMySteth replied to SandIsMyGlitterRN's topic in School

    They should start with a stool guaiac and get a CT I should think. Just sitting around guessing doesn't

  16. Best men's watch for male nurses

    HandsOffMySteth replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I like the Scrub Watch by Speidel. It has a silicone band, is waterproof, and easy to clean. It is also very low

  17. Should I take biology or chemistry?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Brenda Baret's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing courses are difficult to get into, the competition is often fierce. You will need better grades in those biology courses to get in. Check your school to see how many attempts you are allowed...

  18. Starting job as an ER Tech soon + very nervous

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Jess Dunaway's topic in General Students

    I would focus on the task at hand, keeping busy, and learning as much as you can. I never have time to be anxious when I'm that involved.

  19. Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    You make very good points. What about someone who looks older than they are though. I look young for my age (my avatar pic is last year), but my neighbor is in his 40s and looks like he is 80!...

  20. Gloves at all times?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like if contact is involved , gloves should be used. I don't think gloves are always needed just by being in the room unless protocol demands. I spent 5 months shadowing RT(R)s and they almost...

  21. Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    HandsOffMySteth replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    You just posted a thread on how folk medicine is "witchcraft" and posted derogatory statements about other people's beliefs. Now you're here posting that people who have religious beliefs have no...

  22. Prediabetes Now Common Among Teens and Young Adults

    HandsOffMySteth replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    My point was to show how the industry manipulates policy. I do not state whether GMOs are harmful or not. Industry dumped a lot of money into preventing the bill from passing. They also advertise fast...

  23. Low Science GPA

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Latricia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Latricia, Some schools throw out the lower grades on retaken courses and some include those, but re-average. I would contact a school counsellor ASAP. Many schools have a minimum GPA of 3.0. In...

  24. Help cbd oil user!!

    HandsOffMySteth replied to ChiChi623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    She applied at a different facility and passed the pre-employment drug screen. Sloppy lab work seems to be all too common unfortunately. With that in mind, anytime there is a fail, a immediate retest...

  25. Trump Admin Will Protect Health Workers Who Refuse Services On Religious Grounds

    HandsOffMySteth replied to herring_RN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It is unethical to require an individual who believes they are taking part in a murder to perform such a procedure. There are plenty of other staff who don't feel this way that can fill in. It's not...
