    PMFB-RN replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Ya I know but by then it is WAY too late. We see the OP title without any other information. Of course I click on it. If I knew it was in spirituality I might not

    PMFB-RN replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    In reply to post #38. Is this "God Almighty " the same or a different dude than "The One True God"? I gotta tell you guys. This Christian version of "god" sounds boring and like a pansy. I...

    Working in a Teaching Hospital?

    PMFB-RN replied to License2Heal's topic in General Nursing

    There is some trueth to that. Residents will kill a few without watchful nurses. However what I find WAY more often is more of a case of the nurses keep the residents from letting patients die. Not...

    I Have The Time and Other Lies

    PMFB-RN replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I have a rapid response phone but that is very different. If I were an ICU nurse I would not carry the phone. I would "forget" it. If you all do that then maybe nobody will be able to get ahold...

    I Have The Time and Other Lies

    PMFB-RN replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Phones are another thing we put the kibosh on. Management wanted each nurse to carry a phone so that the doc, pharmacy, lab, tele techs, blood bank, and a host of others could reach them at any time....

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    PMFB-RN replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is so irresponsible when the media presents "both sides" in cases where there is no other side. When they do that the wackos get equal time and it send a message that there IS a debate when there...

    I Have The Time and Other Lies

    PMFB-RN replied to Preeps's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They tried scripting at my hospital. With the help of the union organizing, every single RN and LPN simply refused to do it. They couldn't fire us all. Those of you who have scripting have it for...

    I am not offended. I do not desire to call you a liar. Facts are fact. The fact is that you falsely accused me of saying something I didn't say. This isnt a case where we can agree to disagree. It's...

    Choosing an entry masters in nursing program, CNL vs MSN vs BSN

    PMFB-RN replied to bap9090's topic in General Students

    To help make your decision I suggest you look into what the employers in your area, or the area you wish to work in prefer to hire. There are a few health systems that won't hire direct entry masters...

    Help me understand the stigma Acute Care Vs. "The Rest of Them"

    PMFB-RN replied to SNBTaylor's topic in General Nursing

    It's a (dysfunctional) part of nursing culture. Your classmates who can't wait to get into acute care will fine themselves being treated condescendingly by step down nurses, who are treated that way...
