1. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

   NoahNS replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida

   From the various responses so far I think one can at least discern that not "everyone" hates Florida. Like so many other matters in life, much is really just a question of personal taste. Having lived in Florida myself I would have to say there are c...

2. I hate nursing

   NoahNS replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

   A number of clues leave me with the impression that there may be more to this thread than a "hatred of nursing." For starters, the OP's username "prettylittlenurse2be" seems to suggest a certain sense of not having found an authentic identity in nurs...

3. HELP! I got dismissed from my nursing school

   NoahNS replied to basid786's topic in General Students

   I haven't read through this entire thread, but something I haven't noticed thus far is any mention of a gender issue. Something I would encourage the OP to consider is the nature of the postings thus far... by gender. I suspect I may invite some crit...

4. So Who Runs Your Floor, You or the Aides?

   NoahNS replied to bollweevil's topic in General Nursing

   I would just like to thank the OP for this thread. As a recent graduate, and having heard some serious horror stories it is very helpful to learn what others have had to contend with (and what I may have to look forward to)... but also to hear that i...

5. Nurse Phobias?

   NoahNS replied to pattycakeRN's topic in General Nursing

   LOL... so funny, how people can be so different. I LOVE feet... which can be so expressive (hope I'm not grossing anyone out). I find my attention being drawn to them during the summer months all the time. Of course there are all different kinds of f...

6. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

   NoahNS replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

   I've only read the first page of responses, but it seems like some of the respondents think you are expecting to deplete the principle over time... which is not what it sounded like to me was your intention. If you just live off the interest maybe yo...

7. Age you will/were graduated?

   NoahNS replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

   Thank you dan for responding to my query. I've gained a lot of insight from this forum. One of the things that disturbs me most about this new career I've embarked on in nursing is all the collegial conflict that seems so endemic in the profession. T...

8. Age you will/were graduated?

   NoahNS replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

   Hello dan... I was a little intrigued by what may have prompted you to pursue a career in nursing when you were already a paramedic... particularly at age 56 :) Sincerely, Noah

9. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

   NoahNS replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

   When I used to chat on line I was always surprised to meet so many nurses who claimed to have worked as exotic dancers in their previous life. It surprised them, too. No one here, so far, seems to have come from such a former ... profession?

10. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    NoahNS replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

11. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    NoahNS replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    (emphasis added)Thank you... again, kmcnelly. You seem to be "rescuing" me again and again :1luvu: Another favorite Biblical reference that I've always treasured that sort of relates to this issue is found in Psalm 18:35 where David, the warrior/king...

12. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    NoahNS replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Eliza... I think the issue you raise and the rationale/quote you pose may be a little more nuanced, but I agree (as I've mentioned in a previous post on this thread) that the patient's wishes should always be honored if at all possible. This thread h...

13. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    NoahNS replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    "And caring, nurturing, gentleness and kindness = nursing, and people think of that as feminine, I am happy." Is it only your patients you treat with... "caring, nurturing, gentleness and kindness"? I wonder what St. Paul had in mind when he wrote "....

14. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    NoahNS replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmmmmm... am I missing something? "Y'know, I couldn't care less how many men go into nursing... Let the poopstorm commence"

15. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    NoahNS replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read every post on this thread... yet, but so far I have not heard anyone mention that the male patient has the same right as the female patient... even though it may be more difficult to respond favorably to a request to have only a male n...
