  1. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    i think this is an interesting viewpoint. anorexics have been used as an example of the difference in treatment so i propose this. as soon as the obese person developed comorbidity they could be taken...

  2. How bad is distance learning?

    Conqueror+ replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe it is the best idea in education EVER, but that is my

  3. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misunderstood my post. My point is that a person will usually survive much longer as an obese person. 20-30-40 years even costing millions over time. Someone who stops eating won't make it...

  4. Any hospitals around Central FL that still actually hire LPNs?

    Conqueror+ replied to ComeClarity's topic in Florida Nursing

    Try Kindred healthcare system and Tampa

  5. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone would classify you as one of the patients they are complaining about. You have obviously been through alot and continue to work hard on your life. You are an inspiration, NOT a...

  6. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    This may be harsh but if someone stops eating they will probably drop dead and therefore NOT develop diabetes, HTN, kidney disease leading to dialysis and maybe some amputations and living on 1000...

    The height was NOT fun in High School. Being taller than half the boys in school until junior year damages your dating

  8. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Well the "chart" states that I should weigh 150 at 5' 11". I would look like a cracked out giraffe so my very hot 175 will suit me juuust fine. In hindsight I honestly did have some serious...

  9. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    In all honesty I don't think there should be. It's like asking if we should treat smokers with emphysema differently than those who don't have it YET ? My point is that someone who is obese may be...

  10. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I would actually prefer alcohol or drugs. At least you can put those down and never touch them again. How many alcoholics could take three drinks and two shots a day for life and not fall off the...

    Yes we get it. The BMI chart is the devil and fat is

  12. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. I think this is partly because a woman weighing 125lb may/may not be healthy. No way to tell unless she is bald, covered in lanugo, and has ribs showing. A woman weighing 325 is obviously...

  13. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. People make time for the things that are important to them. Staying fit is like going back to school , gambling, or a football game. If it means enough, it is made a priority but if it isn't...

  14. Great news today

    World's biggest understatement. Congrats

    My last job wasn't posted for an LPN but my varied experience got me the job M-F no w/e or holidays yearly bonuses etc...I have everything from LTC,corrections, detox, ER, Dialysis and good old MS on...

  17. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. That is what I have experienced far too often. They are hurt and upset over a perception that may be simply that. A

  18. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    So at which part of your visit did the doctor tell you that you were stupid and lazy ? I never said that obesity isn't blamed when it isn't the cause, I said that I have never heard a HCP call someone...

  19. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    In 17 years I have never heard a HCP say anything remotely close to this to a patient or to me. I think it is

  20. Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    Conqueror+ replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read where it says to treat with little respect but perhaps I missed it. As I said respect is due to everyone so not sure where this is coming

  22. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I re-read my post and I didn't say anything against obese patients. I never said that they were jealous either. I simply recalled my experiences. i used to be obese so my statements are a...

  24. Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    Conqueror+ replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I treat them like subordinates because they are. Just like I am the house supervisor's subordinate and she is the DON's subordinate. It isn't a dirty word. It has nothing to do with respect. It has to...

  25. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    Conqueror+ replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    The reason some health care workers find it easier to say nothing is because the PC police will immediately show up and start to harass you. In my experiences obese patients are extremely sensitive...
