  1. Flight gear and tips

    romansten9 replied to jjphoenix's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    LOL. While you're "looking at lawn mowers at sears," the rest of us are buying essential supplies for the base, such as food, especially when we are at some point within a 14 day shift in which we...

  2. Flight gear and tips

    romansten9 replied to jjphoenix's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    When you're on duty and away from base, you wear generally your flight suit. Thats how it works to be ready when on duty. You "look like a tool" when you are representing the company wearing street...

  3. "Fired for NO Reason"

    romansten9 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "I still see someone who is trying to blame educators and preceptors for the problems new grads are having. The fact that someone had enough book knowledge to make it through school and pass their...

  4. "Fired for NO Reason"

    romansten9 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "turnleftside" If you would go back and read what I wrote, I did not say that it is "always" the preceptors/educators fault if a student or new employee isn't trained well. I also said "most" people...

  5. "Fired for NO Reason"

    romansten9 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Leslie, I agree with much of what "eriksoln" said. There can be "slow learners" in any profession, but it is the job of educators and preceptors to take the new grad from where they are to where they...

  6. It can happen to anyone, anytime

    romansten9 replied to HDNurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Great Job, you were prepared. I'm a Paramedic with 20 years experience. (more codes than I can remember) I also have a new job as a dialysis RN in a large hospital. We also take care of inpatients...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I did respond to the question directly on page 9. That was the most relevant post I made and I hope it is the one that Loner will focus on out of my posts. Many others here had great info that I hope...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Diane, I meant that in nature the weak are often the easiest

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Absolutely13, If you think that ridicule will somehow make me respond in anger, it won't work. I refuse to speak to any of you in the tone of rage you have used against me. You claim I haven't used...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Stanley, Well, you got one last blow in right as I am about to exit. No need to continue the onslaught against me, as I will not be here to read it. Someone told me once to not apologize when you...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I agree that I'm not perfect, I said so in my earlier posts. As far as how I sound to an atheist, I have no idea. I only know that from 20 years of talking with people of nearly all religions (and...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Loner, I did try to offer some advice about your question about prayer in an earlier post. Your attacks on my Christianity tell me that this is really an issue for you. It may be very difficult for...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    loner, i said in a previous post that i wouldn't attack or ridicule atheists. its unfortunate that you couldn't do the same for me. perhaps that is a difference in us because of what we believe....

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Loner, I stated earlier that I didn't have an answer for you. After giving it more thought I think I can relate. Although I am a Christian, I would be uncomfortable praying to another "god" since...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    HvnSntRN, Sorry to hear about your experiences. I would probably be an atheist too if that was the type of Christian I had exposure to. That's terrible. As I said in my previous post, you have every...

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

    romansten9 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Loner, I'm sorry to hear that prayer makes you uncomfortable, that's a shame. I don't know what circumstances in life have led you to become an atheist, but that is your choice and you have every...

  17. BSN does not mean better... Sometimes education is overrated!

    romansten9 replied to lovegoddess1977's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    lovegoddess, since you are the person that started this thread, I wanted to respond to you. I agree that the letters behind your name have little to do with how well you will do your job, or how much...

  18. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    romansten9 replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it is disturbing to be responsible for lives for LESS than $11/hr. but I have been doing it for 17 years (as I mentioned before) as a Paramedic. with more danger and responsibility than most...

  19. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    romansten9 replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that in your area it may be supply vs. demand but after 17 years in the business I have seen low pay even with a demand for Paramedics. Our state is composed of over 80% rural ambulances, and...

  20. would you be a RN for $11.00/hr?

    romansten9 replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned carpenters and truckers, well I am a Paramedic (and student RN) ABOUT 99% OF PARAMEDICS make less than $11 an hour in the midwest!! and slightly more elsewhere..And what do they do for...

  21. A&P 1 Fall '06 Club!

    romansten9 replied to matsgrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Smattles, Wow! You mean to tell me that your instructor didn't give you credit for that? I mean, how many pseudostratified epithelial are there? Like, ONE! I like my instructors because they let...

  22. Chemistry 2006/ 2007 Club***

    romansten9 replied to dreamBIG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know the answer to the density question, we aren't to that point in our text book. But I do know that temperature is going to change the density. I would suggest if we are going to tutor each...

  23. Move to Canada?

    romansten9 replied to fawnsternurse's topic in International Nursing

    Very interesting! I agree that as a nation our health could be much better. But as individuals, we can each choose to be as healthy as can be and live wherever we want. For example, I eat right,...

  24. Chemisty vs. Anatomy I&II

    romansten9 replied to abrainerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently taking Anatomy, Chemistry and Psychology. (and the labs too of course) I think Anatomy is the hardest, and thats the one I'm most familiar with. I think the human body is the most...

    romansten9 replied to dreamBIG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To memorize anything you can use a mnemonic (or make your own) just do a search for "chemistry mnemonics" or check these out: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jcdverha/scijokes/11_5.html#subindex...
