    I'm such a hypocrit.

    caroladybelle replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    The coworker and I continued to work together after that, she just didn't complain about running late and I covered her back. We are still buds that sends cards back and forth. I just accept that she...

    Can nurses have facial piercings?

    caroladybelle replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably not. And in some work environments, it would be a bit dangerous/problematic in some facial areas. Whipping a mask on and off repeatedly through the day - either it would get caught or...

    I'm such a hypocrit.

    caroladybelle replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, I worked on a very small unit with another nurse that was a smoker - often just us two on the night shift. She also had some serious codependency issues. One very busy night, they pulled...

    caroladybelle replied to Bhebe55's topic in General Nursing

    Why do the procedure if we cannot/won't treat the issues that are found? It is amazing how much money is wasted in health care, doing tests/scans/procedures when the results will not change the...

    Anyone work at GRADY MEMORIAL in Atlanta?

    caroladybelle replied to meg816's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Generally the bigger problem is getting the Visa/ permit to work in the US. While Grady has hired plenty of foreign nurses in the past, only a very limited number are getting through the legal maze...

    WOW! Have things changed that much or did we have our signals crossed???

    caroladybelle replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken plenty of med tests as a nurse, and I can say that NONE of them would have permitted what your neighbor suggests. When our interns/residents, often the attendings will stop them from just...

    wearing makeup to work?

    caroladybelle replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    No makeup as I am so pale, it makes me look like a freshly painted wall and I am in masks 90% of the time. As I have rosecea, makeup irritates my skin. I have had at least two nursing managers that...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    caroladybelle replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Visiting is usually the best way to find out. Often, what used to be safe, no longer is and vice versa. That and the difference of a road way and a few blocks may mean a major difference in the crime...

    "Bait and Switch" and "Social Experiment" thread titles

    caroladybelle replied to nursel56's topic in General Nursing

    When a post goes unanswered, there are generally good reasons. No one has the answer. No one wants to answer. There are a couple thousand posts all over the place on the topic and we are tired of it....

    "Bait and Switch" and "Social Experiment" thread titles

    caroladybelle replied to nursel56's topic in General Nursing

    I personally find it annoying and childish, and put the maturity of the poster around the level of eighth graders and fart jokes. But much more annoying is the "Please read, I need an answer...

    caroladybelle replied to canadiannurse96's topic in International Nursing

    Not an expert, but virtually all contracts that I have seen for Saudi and similar nations, have generally for two years minimum. And to my knowledge, bringing in family members is not likely. There...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    caroladybelle replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It has absolutely nothing to do with PC and everything to do with accuracy. The origin of the word "Ghetto" comes from the crowding and segregation of Jews in many places. And until the last few...

    Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    caroladybelle replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps the OP should ask, which of this areas had less crime, is safer, etc. Rather than using the term "less Ghetto". Johns Hopkins is in an "economically disadvantaged" area. I haven't seen a lot...

    caroladybelle replied to Kareylea's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think that "nag" comment was out of line and do not see where any "nagging" occurred. I do see posters reminding others that when you accept a job dealing with health, you are required...
