  1. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Baloney Amputation replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    Consider yourself lucky to have personal experience surrounding yourself with these people with "annoying personalities" but not with those who actually have a true personality disorder. I can only...

  2. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Baloney Amputation replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa...the DSM-IV includes the criterion of wearing a white dress/cap for a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder? When did that

  3. DVT and Homan's sign

    Baloney Amputation replied to HarmonyW's topic in General Nursing

    Just a little friendly FYI, because this term is misspelled often...the term is actually Homans' sign, not Homan's sign. It is named for John Homans.

  4. What do you absolutely LOVE and absolutely HATE about your job as a nurse

    Baloney Amputation replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the residents. I hated the management and their games they played on the

  5. Dating someone from within ???

    Baloney Amputation replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, when hubby and I were LPNs together. That's how we became friends, though I knew the first time I saw him that he was IT. We've been married 7 years this month. Incidentally, even though he did...

  6. New Grad - no taxes taken from pay

    Baloney Amputation replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq/0,,id=199807,00.html will help you estimate your withholdings. However, if you are paying taxes appropriately for an independent contractor and you are subsequently found...

    Baloney Amputation replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

  9. Should I just lie?

    Baloney Amputation replied to grateful2010's topic in General Nursing

    I read the title of this thread and answered in my head, "No!" Now that I've read the question, my answer is, "Hell no!" I think even the junkiest of employers would toss out an application in which...

  10. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    Baloney Amputation replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked as an LPN in Oregon and Iowa. An LPN in Oregon can do infinitely more than an LPN in Iowa. I would be willing to bet that in certain states, like my own, an LPN doesn't have a huge scope...

  11. A nurse by any other name...

    Baloney Amputation replied to fungez's topic in General Nursing

    My hubby is very, very proud that he earned his RN license and can be called a nurse. He also thinks I'm awesome for nursing my babies and providing our babies milk with superpowers. One meaning of...

  12. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    Baloney Amputation replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    Is it offensive if a nursing home posts a job for an LPN/RN? The medical equipment stores around here post jobs for a LPN/RN/respiratory tech. Is that

  13. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    Baloney Amputation replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what was rude about his response. For the purpose of the job, both LPNs and MAs are similarly qualified in this particular clinic's eyes. I believe it is not implied here that MAs and...

  14. Seriously...

    Baloney Amputation replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not always. Oftentimes it's a "my manager thinks I can do the work of 2-3 nurses"

  15. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I do like how they qualify it as a "fancy" rose top. It had to be a mistype of the word

  16. Healthcare is a commodity

    Baloney Amputation replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, Jesus was much the

  17. HELP!

    Baloney Amputation replied to BAMARN09's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be surprised how many women in a committed, monogamous relationship for years still wind up with CIN II and CIN III (or worse) cervical lesions out of the blue after years of normal annual Pap...

  18. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes I would. I wouldn't assume she is a bad or unprofessional nurse,

  19. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Regardless of the initial judgment I had, my judgment wouldn't automatically jump from "she looks like a street walker" to "she's a bad, unprofessional

  20. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    i've been under some nerve-wracking medical care very recently, and all i remember from the doctor's appearance is that my doctor had shorter hair and white paint on his hands. i only remember the...

  21. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No, I haven't bought anti-aging creams. There is nothing wrong with wrinkles. Well, you tell me what the point of wearing Sketchers Shape-Ups is when Sketchers has many other very comfortable and...

  22. To All Female Nurses ????

    Baloney Amputation replied to xGuYx's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but with more facial hair.

  23. To All Female Nurses ????

    Baloney Amputation replied to xGuYx's topic in General Nursing

    I married a male nurse. I befriended him first at work, because we have personalities that are odd but frightfully compatible. However, I saw firsthand how well he treated people to whom he wasn't...

  24. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    Baloney Amputation replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They make Winnie the Pooh and Superman sneakers in adult sizes? Sweet! Forget cutesy scrubs--as a patient, I'd be very underwhelmed and suspicious the minute I saw my nurse wearing a pair of those...

  25. False statement for terminating employment

    Baloney Amputation replied to sandfla's topic in General Nursing

    File for unemployment, along with what the previous posters
