  1. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    rph3664 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I once worked for a pharmacy chain (which shall remain nameless - no, it didn't start with W) that prohibited facial hair on men, except for a neatly trimmed mustache, unless they had a religious...

  2. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    rph3664 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen women like this working at fast food restaurants; they keep uniform skirts on hand for this

  3. Would you marry any medical professional

    rph3664 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    Now, if a man goes into a little more detail, even if it's "My ex-wife and I turned out to be incompatible, and we made a mutual decision to separate" then you can give him the benefit of the

  4. My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    rph3664 replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can see where you're coming from. I posted that because a lot of people hear stories like that and think "people these days....." when it's always happened. Not so many years ago, people would have...

  5. My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    rph3664 replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you think this is anything new, it isn't. I collect old medical books and have a gynecology textbook from 1908. 100 years ago. It has a picture, from the autopsy, of the perineal area of an...

  6. My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    rph3664 replied to ssouthernyankee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Or, more likely, if her parents are locked up, they're the ones who did it in the first

  7. Would you marry any medical professional

    rph3664 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    OT: A man saying "We grew apart" is code for "I treated my wife like crap the whole time we were married, and am totally clueless as to why she left me." Feel free to disagree with

  8. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    rph3664 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

  9. Would you marry any medical professional

    rph3664 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that way too, although when I was in school, I made sure not to live with pharmacy students, and except for two summer jobs, I did not work with any either. I worked at a hotel banquet...

  10. Does nursing school break up relationships?

    rph3664 replied to Lady01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have an aunt who left school at 16 to support her family, and later married my uncle and had 3 kids. When she was about 30, one of her friends was widowed and had to send her kids away to live with...

  11. Does nursing school break up relationships?

    rph3664 replied to Lady01's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Relatively few of my pharmacy classmates were married (not that many older students) but the one person in my class who got divorced was a guy who fathered a child when he was 15 (despite being...

  12. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    rph3664 replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I saw this earlier today on a non-nursing website. Do not iron your blouse topless, without a bra, because you might bend over and burn your nipple on the

  13. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    This sounds like a Darwin award. OTOH, if you leave out the vacuum seal, it could be a method of REALLY safe

  14. A really good example of children in the USA still dying from childhood diseases.

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I'm talking about women who have no husband, family support, or respite care, nor do they get any subsidies because these are their biological children. And it only seems to happen with autism...

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    That's true. Has anyone ever discovered what caused

  16. Alternative to spanking

    rph3664 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Deliberately throwing food on the floor is a punishable offense (IMHO), although a beating certainly isn't justified. Accidentally spilling something is

  17. A really good example of children in the USA still dying from childhood diseases.

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Here's something I've never seen addressed, here or anywhere else. Where do all these women with autistic kids, especially the ones who are single, find the time to write BOOKS on all these message...

  18. A really good example of children in the USA still dying from childhood diseases.

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    When I was growing up, we were not deliberately exposed, nor did our parents allow us to be exposed to the neighborhood kids, because we knew of a child who contracted chicken pox this way, got...

    rph3664 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    One of my classmates was from Malaysia, where chicken pox is not the ubiquitous presence it is here, and contracted it in his early 20s and nearly had to repeat a year of school. This was prior to the...

  20. Ever been physically attacked by MD? What have or Would you Do?

    rph3664 replied to artistnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My mom was a hospital volunteer in the early 1970s, and once saw a "respected" OB backhand a nurse in the nurse's station. This doctor was well known for (among other things) doing unnecessary...

  21. Alternative to spanking

    rph3664 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Lemme guess - both kids have been on ADD meds since before they were out of diapers? (rph3664 puts on a flameproof suit) I hear a lot about parents who have such wildly conflicting parenting styles,...

  22. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    rph3664 replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    Was CPS called? I couldn't imagine kids that age doing something like that unless someone showed them

  23. Having children while getting education

    rph3664 replied to littleoleme's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be surprised at how many people get married without discussing children, period. It wasn't so many years ago that having a wife who worked outside the home was seen as a disgrace. You know...

  24. You know your pt is a jerk if........

    rph3664 replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    And he probably WAS a jerk patient while he was in the hospital getting, ahem, reconstructed. :imbar Thanks to allnurses for placing this thread at the bottom of the page, therefore making it easier...

  25. My boss is/was the devil!
