14 year finally got tired of taking a teens abuse. Everyone has a limit and she was at hers. I can guess why the police got involved also. The teen was upset because her mother actually took up for herself and put the teen in her place. Im not sa...

I dont know what state you live in but where I am from there is something called an 'out of control warrant'. If your minor child is that out of control I would look into something similar to this. The court does get involved, but will help you get...

In high shool I recieved HORRIBLE grades. I really do not know how I graduated. When I started U of L it was manditory that we take a study course our first semester. It was a class on how to study and take tests. After that class my grades impro...

Best jobs: Bartending and working in a greenhouse. The greenhouse pay was horrible but the job was fun. Worst job: Working for Wendy's. That was my first job. It was awful! So So job: Driving that little truck for NAPA. I had my Uncle take the ha...

Usually I feel like I can lay down on a slab of concrete and sleep for days. But lately it is hard to go to sleep at all or I wake in the middle of the night without hope of going back to sleep. (such as tonite, last night rather). I know Im stresse...

I dont have a joke or anything right now (my last one really bit imo.) But I was wondering....who is your favorite comedian? I am watching comedy central right now and these people are fuuuuuuunny. Wanda Sikes is on now. I wonder if a nurse-stand ...

I think our jobs as healthcare professionals would go a lot smoother if these two sayings were banned from all facilities. "Thats not my patient." "Thats not my job." Any other thoughts on this?

Gomer, I am a woman and I really am offended by your post! Just kidding! Those were AWSOME! FUNNY! Never thought I would think some of them are funny, but they are! :roll :roll

To all you ER nurses. As a float nurse Im assigned mostly to tele and med surg. So when I do work in ER I have over flow patients. Well, what I want to know when someone has come in and lets say has had chest pain, vomiting, dizziness, or any numbe...

Gromit I hope you spend a wonderful day with your mother! Thanks! Beth

Glad we can agree on something. But a realist does not have to be a cynic (used as an adjective) I did not call you a cynic I accused you of thinking like one. I do not know you and would not say you ARE anything. :)

very good question Jenac

The Melatonin works wonders! Slept for 12 hours last night! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering the same thing?????????????????

None is yelling for free health care they are wanting AFFORDABLE healthcare. As far as taking from someone else ......if the goverment would get their priorities straight and spend our taxes on something that is NEEDED. Thus cutting research finan...

Amotor cycle is a motor cycle basic healthcare is basic healthcare And a cynic is a cynic

Nor could I of said it better.

With all due respect Gromit. Are you actually comparing a motorcycle to healthcare? That your finances dont support it so you dont have the one you want yet? That someone should not have a lifesaving procedure because they cant afford it? Are these...

Sad, it happens all the time here. And as I said earlier. WE would not have to pay higher taxes if the government would stop wasting money. I gave a serious example earlier of a million dollar grant (one every year) for people to study why flies h...

I disagree. At no time did I, myself complain about taking care of these people, or paying taxes to support them. Most of these people support themselves and work hard, but cannot afford healthcare. I am not forced to care for anyone. I enjoy tak...

Good post.

As an agency nurse I work for a small community hospital at times (Home health is my reg job). This is my fave facility. I had a bad experience. Here goes. 1) I hear a pump beeping in a patients room. 2) I enter the room to see if I can be of a...

I work agency every once in awhile and am pretty much on the same unit. The same RN always throws a fit about her team of patients. You could give her one patient that had been admitted for constipation and she would still throw a fit. I just want...
