  3. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    indigo girl replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

  4. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    indigo girl replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    Not for me, I guess. I participated in that particular demonstration in Washington. It was a wonderful experience. I can however, understand that some would be reluctant to use the term queer. It...

  5. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    indigo girl replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I am used to gays using the term, "queer" to describe themselves so it does feel offensive to me in fact, it sounds powerful and proud. I like it. In retrospect, I would say that it would depend upon...

  12. How is it possible to be in 5 places at the same time?

    indigo girl replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably be tempted to come in early, even off the clock if necessary, if I knew who my assigned patients were, until I got a handle on how other nurses did this. I know nurses in LTC that do...

    indigo girl replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

    indigo girl replied to findingmywayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto for me. Many people do not need any juice. Only those with kind of low sugars or the brittle folks, and those that I know can not be counted upon to eat. We do our best to judge their...

  18. Disaster/Pandemic preparedness

    indigo girl replied to LMonty911's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This could be important. There may be some cross protection from H5N1 by receiving a seasonal flu vaccine nasally rather than via a subcutaneous injection according to this recent study in mice....

  19. Night shift giving breakfast insulins w/o tray

    indigo girl replied to findingmywayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good thread and so pertinent... In Maine, day shift gave the insulins and nights did the fasting finger sticks in LTC. I was shocked to discover that this was not the case in Rhode Island at all....

  24. Which nursing skills do you dread?

    indigo girl replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing
