  1. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    EJM, I think the common denominator of the scenarios you've mentioned is lack of clarity of vision. We're just not sure exactly what we want to do or how it should be done, so things keep getting...

  3. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    JeanettePNP replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, Kathy explained (quite articulately, in my opinion) why she has a bad view of nursing. I don't know why you as a nurse should be getting so defensive about her comments... you're not...

  4. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    JeanettePNP replied to Faye1's topic in General Nursing

    To the other posters on this thread: Please don't shut Kathy up. She has a right to have her say, even if you might not like it. I think it's important for those of us who are struggling with the...

  5. Free of low cost CNA Course

  7. Causing financial damage at work (by accident)

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you made a mistake that cost your employer money, would you offer to reimburse? I'm not talking about a med error or anything that put a patient in danger. Let's say you dropped an expensive...

  8. Causing financial damage at work (by accident)

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    He works for a food processing plant and added too much salt to one batch that he was mixing. An entire production run had to be discarded, worth a few thousand

  9. Has anyone ever had to retake English Comp a second time?

    JeanettePNP replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was disappointed with my writing course. We spent very little time on the mechanics or skills of writing. Class consisted of reading a poem, listening to an analysis by the prof, and then writing...

  10. Causing financial damage at work (by accident)

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. It wasn't me, it was dh. He added too much salt to a batch at work and a whole production line had to be thrown out. He came home to tell me that he wanted to work free overtime for an...

  11. Huge Sign On Bonuses - Is there a catch?

    JeanettePNP replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Does it really pay for them to offer huge sign on bonuses rather than improve the conditions that are driving away their employees in the first

  13. Reporting injuries to parents

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Camp

    Thanks for your response, Wendy! As a parent, I would like to be informed of anything that leaves marks/bruises/scratches/scars on my child's body. I know that that's an impossible order! But when...

  14. Reporting injuries to parents

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Camp

    What is the usual protocol about reporting camp injuries to parents? Last week my son (age 10) asked me to check out a "bump" behind his ear. I looked and saw a ridge-like scar down the back of his...

  15. Abdominal surgery during pregnancy

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has anyone ever cared for a patient who needed abdominal surgery during pregnancy? How do they do the surgery and protect the fetus at the same

  16. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you want to go back to the not-so-distant past when only the children of the rich were educated and the poor were mostly illiterate. And if you had the money to afford lots of books, you...

  17. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    JeanettePNP replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We already clarified that the mother was hospitalized over Yom Kippur, which would explain why she told the nurse "no work" for two days in a row. It is not clear from the original post that the...

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    To mjlrn: :yelclap: You said it all. Why is there no outcry about socialized education, socialized libraries, socialized highways, socialized mail delivery, socialized fire and police departments,...

  19. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    It's all very well and good to be the one living in luxury but when you're the one who can't afford to have your broken ankle set and still eat 3 squares for the next 6 months, things don't look all...

  20. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    JeanettePNP replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is that the US government does cover healthcare costs -- up to 50% of all healthcare spending is by the government--but we do it in the least efficient and cost-effective manner possible!...

  24. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    JeanettePNP replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not to sidetrack the thread into a discussion of the finer points of Jewish theology, but that's not technically correct. A Jew who "apostizes" (I'm sure that's spelled wrong) by adopting another...

  25. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    JeanettePNP replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I want to add that a woman who is >72 hours PP is considered "dangerously ill" according to Jewish law and is allowed to violate Shabbat herself if her health/comfort depends on it and no nurse is...
