  6. How do you protect your identity?

    fronkey bean replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    You are an exception. Of course, working ICU where most folks remember very little about their stay, I have rarely been asked for my full name. I introduce myself by my first name and if some one...

    fronkey bean replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

  9. How do you protect your identity?

    fronkey bean replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    fronkey bean replied to cammy429's topic in General Nursing

  14. What would you do??

    fronkey bean replied to IngyRN's topic in General Nursing

    honestly, I think the nurse in me would just go into autopilot and I would do what I know to do and what I love to do and worry about the consequences later. How many times have we gotten covered in...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'll have to check these further but I doubt they are deliberate attempts to fool people. Arlan Specter doesn't always vote theway they want him to, but I can't think of anything he's done that would...

  21. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    fronkey bean replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I sincerely hope (and I really believe) that the crowd w/ the bull horns and signs don't represent the "average" evangelical. I had not even heard of these protests and I live 1.5 hours from Atlanta....

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I won't disagree about Cuba b/c as I said I've never been there. And I would agree that the WHO is non biased but they use statistics supplied by gov'ts who may not be as honest. I like NPR too but...

    fronkey bean replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi Viking, I have to disagree w/ you about Fox, They aren't controled by the state, they just present the conservative side of news stories, usually w/ a liberal present to present opposing opinions....
