    Can Rittenhouse Become a Nurse?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to lifelearningrn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    The other point is he may be tied up in civil court/lawsuits for a while. That won't be too compatible with a rigorous program of nursing

    Help Me Decide Based On Your Experience

    I concur with the poster above. I would chose job #2. Rotating shifts are killer and LTC (in my experience) sucks. Not the residents, usually the staff and lack of

    No Jeep, No Love: I'm Out Of Here!

    SmilingBluEyes replied to Therese Pingatore's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel your sentiments here. I find myself wanting less and less stuff in order to be able to retire in less than 4 years. I just want to retire and be done. I am very tired of all the BS that...

    If You Quit Your Job Rather than Get a Vaccine, What is Your Specialty?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe this is true. I can't think of a single doctor who did not get vaccinated (anecdote, I know). The nurses I know who have bachelor's degrees or higher have also all gotten

    Over Nursing

    SmilingBluEyes replied to purple1985's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should take advantage of your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and get some counseling. You are way overthinking and stressed out. Time to talk to someone who can help you sort this...

    Is it rude to leave work after Maternity Leave?

    SmilingBluEyes replied to FutRNRock's topic in General Nursing

    You have to do what is best for your family. But like the above post highlights, there are bound to be some bad feelings as you leave. In the end, you have your priorities. Do what works for you...

    I’m Disgusted and Disturbed

    SmilingBluEyes replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    This is disgusting and must be reported. But don't use the "friend of a friend" approach. Go the proper channels and get some counseling to deal with your feelings ASAP. I am so

    Tell the World Project

    SmilingBluEyes replied to SJ2016's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I guess I don't understand why you give a damn what strangers think. You stated your case about your job being critical here already. Tell them the same thing or just walk away and not worry what...

    Ritttenhouse Trial

    SmilingBluEyes replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    True. No one had any business being there. The prosecution failed miserably in this case. I believe the young man is guilty. But in the eyes of the law, he is not. I question his mom's...

    SmilingBluEyes replied to nursej22's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    True. But I do believe he is guilty. I knew he would be found not guilty from pretty much the beginning. There are two people who would be alive today if it were not for his being
