  1. This is really messed up, I know….

    MarkMyWords replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OP may have a challenge to find a highly qualified helpful therapist. Some may waste your time and money. Some do not know the right questions to ask you. Never settle for less than excellent therapy...

  2. Recs for board games for mental health unit

    MarkMyWords replied to WisconsinCheddr's topic in General Nursing

    Games should be easy not complicated rules and short Chess can be long to finish. Scrabble? Old family games are fun and less competitive without animosity between players. Or card games like gin and...

  3. Which specialty - help

    MarkMyWords replied to jj16's topic in General Specialties

    Have you thought of ER in a busy department? Seems to me you would need quick decisions, critical thinking there. Or else a department that has patients with unusual diseases? My 2 cents

  4. Osteopenia

    MarkMyWords replied to Susan Herndon's topic in Patient Education

    As a patient, I find that a change in diet for one medical problem or imbalance is often bad for another imbalance or problem. If we need to reduce sugar, then oranges would be avoided, but they are...

  5. With everything going on..What do you love/like/enjoy about being a nurse?

    MarkMyWords replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. Reported to Board of Nursing

    MarkMyWords replied to RNicolee's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is more to this than the OP wrote. Too incredulous, because no real friend would do this and has something against the OP, to explain this incident or malice. Or the others involved are...

  13. Healthcare And Birthdate Imperative

    MarkMyWords replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I think members mismisunderstand me. Agreed that DOB is important identifier. In my experience, clinics and services over do it. Everyone in the clinic does not need to know. Office workers,...

  14. Am I crazy or too old for considering this??

    MarkMyWords replied to Seaturtle01's topic in General Nursing

    Objectively, you are not too old. Subjectively, only you know your energy level, strength, skills and enthusiasm and whatever else you bring to the job. Is ageism is a factor in hiring, like other...

  16. Gobbledygook In Nursing

    MarkMyWords replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    Doublespeak and euphemisms are in every business and work sector. It began long ago. Education military and government especially. And it is increasing. It is supposed to be nicer and make people feel...

  21. Passive Hostility Between Workplace Departments

    MarkMyWords replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    MarkMyWords replied to desandseek's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I gave this some thought. The butt slapping...are these with their friends or close women? In a workplace, especially in front of patients, it is clearly bad behavior. But .if they are a consensual...

    MarkMyWords replied to guineapignurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Do you have a HEPA air purifier? I use a compact quiet one for springtime moderate asthma. Inexpensive and light. Dustmites can be a problem
