  1. MA's the fastest growing med feild !

    PeachPie replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    The education is such a freaking gyp! There are 2 MAs in my class who had to start from scratch because their past credits (even A&P) were not accepted! They also pay many, many times more than...

  3. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    PeachPie replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all for everybody getting it, but I don't think that it sould be federally mandated. If the government backs it, then Merck will no longer be responsible for negative outcomes. Drug companies are...

  4. My grandma's opinion of nurses made me so happy!

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day, I spoke to my Japanese grandmother. She told me that out of all my siblings, I have the best, most prestigious job, and told me how wonderful it was that I chose to become a nurse. That...

  5. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    PeachPie replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget that your kids can get raped. It's horrible, but it's true. I have a friend whose stepfather started molesting her when she was young. At the tender age of 14, she had to get a partial...

  6. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    PeachPie replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

  7. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    PeachPie replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I have a homosexual friend who contracted HPV-gone-ascending rectal cancer from his lover. I'd like to get it as soon as I'm not so

  8. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PeachPie posted a topic in General Nursing

    I applied to a prestigious hospital as a CNA/PCT/Student nurse, and I made it to the 2nd round, which was a computerized personality test with the choices Strongly Agree, Moderately Agree, Slightly...

  9. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    PeachPie replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Amen. In my book, it gets selfish when the person kills himself in a public place for someone to discover, like my friend who blew his brains out in the kitchen, and was subsequently discovered by his...

  10. What is your opinion on "For Profit Hospitals"

    PeachPie replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought is that at least for-profit hospitals aren't in denial. I've seen some non-profit places pull some sneaky stuff as

  11. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    PeachPie replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. It is your life, and even though I don't advocate suicide in the least, I advocate people having power over their own lives, including the power to end it. In fact, if somebody calls me up so...

  12. Please don't say "I told you so"

    PeachPie replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't burnout, it's shock and dread. Good

  13. How did you pay for college?

    PeachPie replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm about to start harvesting some kidneys... not my own, of course.

  14. "Customer service" and nursing

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

    If the hospital wants to provide customer service via other staff, fine. It's unfair to the nurses, who have to worry about comfort and keeping people alive, to be burdened with all sorts of extra...

  15. "Customer service" and nursing

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

    Customer service implies that we cater to everything that pleases the customer, and that the customer has a better idea of what he wants. Like hell I would give a diabetic ice cream because I'm...

  16. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, it's sad, but we're going to need another Rosemary Kennedy (lobotomy) or Bart Stupak Jr. (commited suicide while taking Accutane) before the autism research and movements. I wouldn't wish it on...

  17. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

  19. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you're starting to get a bit personal and sensitive here. Is there a reason why you're getting so angry and petty over a debate? If you wish to show her the truths (I'd like to see...

  20. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah Hopefull, it would be great to see when autism rates started to spike, as well as when other changes were made. The hard thing is that autism has been long classified as other things, like mental...

  21. Opinion about autism

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it sounds kinda abstract to me too. Kinda like millions of people eat tons of hot dogs and have microwaves in their houses, yet only a relative few get cancer. A lot claim that aluminum in the...

    PeachPie replied to BloodNGuts's topic in General Nursing

    YES! I love putting backseat drivers to the

  23. Would you stand up for a Doctor?

    PeachPie replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Seats are a rare commodity! Mine mine mine! It depends. If I'm going to be stuck there for a while, it's mine. Otherwise, priority on who gets seats is based on who looks the most fatigued, how log...

    PeachPie replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Lord, while we're on the subject, I'm listening to the neighbor's autistic kid scream at the top of his lungs. He does this for hours on end, mostly because he doesn't like the fence that keeps...
