  1. Which Covid Vaccine is better?

    MarkMyWords replied to Bella RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I doubt that I will get a choice. Why you think we will? I am on the early list for it, (because of age and lungs) but eligible population is large where I live and the website says nothing about the...

  2. Biden to announce US will donate $4 billion for COVID-19 vaccines for poor countries

    MarkMyWords replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you there. So someone in Asia or Africa will get the vaccine before I do? Besides, the U.S. budget is already a trillion in debt, isn't

  3. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

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

    Here are some reasons for the ignorance. Naive and gullible people who don't know anything about science including educated individuals with PhDs. Secondly. A distrust of doctors and the medical...

  4. How to Answer 'What Did You Like Least About Your Last Job?'

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

    I agree and have been interviewed so many times. You could say that there was nothing I didn't like about the job or mention something trivial or I prefer to be

  5. Should I omit some of my nursing experience to get a job in L&D?

    MarkMyWords replied to Newishnurse1995's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You might get away with it or possibly be discovered later. It's a chance. People do this in other occupations but nursing is altogether different. Ask yourself if it is worth the risk. I don't know...

  6. Required to do free visit??

    MarkMyWords replied to Stef_nurse's topic in Home Health

    How much time did you spend

  7. This is becoming boring

    MarkMyWords replied to Juanito's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you are really VERY bored with nothing to do.... On the bottom right of the computer screen is the date and time. Add up the numerals in different ways and see if you get an interesting...

  8. Adjunct faculty job

    MarkMyWords replied to proudnurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, adjunct is like on/off teaching, no guarantee of future assignments or anything. Similar to contractual work, a hired hand...may last 1 semester or many years. It is not regular employment in...

  9. Doc Won't See Me Because I Treat Covid Patients

    MarkMyWords replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ignore the no show fee. Ridiculous. You were there--it was the doctor's choice. . Find another doc, obviously...I try to find one where I can do something else in the area. An errand,...

  10. What is up with the level of entitlement?

    MarkMyWords replied to sofla98's topic in General Nursing

    Entitlement ideas are everywhere nowadays especially in the last 35 years. In college classes from experience with older nontraditional students. The attitude increased after strong feminist...

  11. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    MarkMyWords replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    It is not uncommon for professors to be fired for this kind of comment. More likely if they are adjuncts or new and usually men. Maybe lose tenure. HR gets involved. Such remarks are inexcusable...

  12. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    MarkMyWords replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Why do you feel you should discuss this with patients? Have you studied this issue? If patients ask because of worry about dying... try to offer polite consolation, if possible. If the patient does...

  13. RN coworker discouraged me

    MarkMyWords replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this is her humor. A facetious snarky

  14. Covid Vaccine

    MarkMyWords replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What's the latest on a cure? All we hear about are vaccines. My Google search showed no special progress for a cure or at least reduction of

  15. Hailed as heroes, hospital workers for years have been bitten, hit, kicked. And ignored.

    MarkMyWords replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    We live in cities with much more coorifice behavior. I don't know about Europe or Canada. People start fights over nothing. More profanity is tolerated and more verbal abuse but I heard that decades...

  16. Winner!!

    MarkMyWords replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Me too!! Won $100. This is my new favorite forum

  17. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    MarkMyWords replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Will they also work to. create a cure? I don't understand that. What am I

  18. Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    MarkMyWords posted a topic in General Nursing

    Of course, not while he or she is under your care. But after they are discharged, does this occur? I wonder. You see the patient sick and hurting and so it must be an unattractive turnoff. I had...

  19. Getting harassed at work and not sure what to do about it?

    MarkMyWords replied to Jnurse153's topic in Men in Nursing

    A ride home should just be a ride home but more and more women don't see it that way, not for a long time. Most guys and ladies assume (falsely?) that more is involved and may think "ride home" means...

  20. Men who sleep with multiple women REDUCE their risk of prostate cancer

    MarkMyWords replied to Guest856929's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Haha. Daily Mail is something of a joke. Wishful thinking. Seriously, nothing funny about the

  21. Ever date a patient? Or would you?

    MarkMyWords replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I am merely asking if this happens, not that you should. Its an objective question, and do not misinterpret me without understanding the broader field of ethics in society. Months or a year after the...

  22. Gullible?

    MarkMyWords replied to NightRNDayInstructor's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Nursing students, like all students, are not above cheating. If there's a way, sneaky students find it. They will even cheat on a question about honesty in an ethics course--fact. One trick is to...

  23. Friend diagnosed with cancer but can't get surgery?

    MarkMyWords replied to Juniper83's topic in General Nursing

    I had personal experience. Removal of prostate is common (called radical) and is an overnight operation. Afterward, sex is never the same (worse) and impotence can occur. Waiting and monitoring it is...

  24. Regret not taking other job

    MarkMyWords replied to wishfulbiscuits's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, 2 months is nada. Give it some time and then maybe move. New employer boss may contact your current job supervisor and what will she say? It will not look very good and may backfire. I don't...

  25. How to deal with mean staff

    MarkMyWords replied to emmafrancis's topic in General Nursing

    Is he like this with other nurses, or only you? Maybe this is his personal style. Maybe he is really upset or annoyed with someone or something else entirely and not so much you. Is there...
