    PeachPie replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

  3. "Other" healthcare careers...

    PeachPie replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

  5. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    PeachPie replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You keep threatening to sue us if you don't get you what you want RIGHT NOW. You know, lawyers cost fees unless you have a case that they'd be willing to take on, which you don't. You're just a whiny...

    PeachPie replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    @ talaxandra: Wow, great article. Man, I see that as the whole self esteem movement showing its ugly consequences. Those kind of people annoy me to no end, or scare me to no end in the clinical...

  8. Enough is Enough

    PeachPie replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh, I'd go as far to say that healthcare customer service is killing people! In this country's hospitals, the mentality is that the customer is always right and never responsible. That means patients...

  9. "Spoiling" patients?

    PeachPie replied to RuRnurse?'s topic in General Nursing

  10. An interpretation of healthcare reform bill

    PeachPie replied to KneKno's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Texas, and it's amazing how many people truly believe that "That (insert derogatory racial slur, socialist, etc) president" is going to kill people off at age 65. I've asked some of them...

    PeachPie replied to amiconfused's topic in General Nursing

  13. I do not care anymore

    PeachPie replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    You are not Jesus Christ. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Their lack of compliance is not your problem. Well, it is your problem in the aspect that you may be held...

  14. Do you love nursing or hate it???

    PeachPie replied to ysin's topic in General Nursing

  15. Is it wrong?

    PeachPie replied to m.nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    While I think that MJ should be legalized, I think that there is a time that people need to quit doing drugs, as they become a hindrance rather than harmless recreation. My ex (whom I refer to as a...

    PeachPie replied to nckdl's topic in General Nursing

  17. Bright personality required??

    PeachPie replied to cherryharlean's topic in General Nursing

    Here is an EXCELLENT article about us introverts! I'm not quiet or shy, but I do tend to internalize and think rather than talk. I'm not smiley, and I am very annoyed by people who tell me to smile...

  18. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    PeachPie replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in Nursing Informatics

    PeachPie replied to Angela Mac's topic in General Nursing

    My body isn't so easily tricked. I tried the skip-over trick before, and I'll bleed continuously until I allow myself to have a period. Right now, I use the NuvaRing. Instead of the recommended 3...

    PeachPie replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I got terminated today. They reviewed my Accudose history, and found that a lot of drugs had been given too far after drawing, and that there were 2 counts of unwasted drugs. I will be reported to the...

  25. The "bully" nurse

    PeachPie replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
