    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Should Doctors Have Guns?

    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    So, let's imagine that every single citizen decided to obtain a liscense to carry a concealed weapon. I'm talking theoretically. I happen to live in a state where it's relatively easy to obtain a...

    Should Doctors Have Guns?

    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not particularly "anti gun", but it's ridiculous to be packing a gun to work in a clinic. Frankly, I'd refuse to live or work in such a violent and unprotected area. I don't care to live or work...

    Should Doctors Have Guns?

    FireStarterRN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Why coffee with every meal?

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder how wise it is to force a hospitalized person to go through sudden caffeine withdrawal. I don't even drink near the amounts that others do here, and yet I will get a bad headache if I miss my...

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If I'm ever hospitalized I'll be sending down to the hospital espresso bar every morning. 16 oz double latte, extra hot

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Er Ruthie, you're only 5 years older than me and I was not aware of anyone serving coffee at the dinner table. Where No, it doesn't bother me if people choose it, although I think they're pretty much...

    Why coffee with every meal?

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting how many drink coffee all day long. I love coffee, specifically lattes, but I limit myself to one or two a day, and never late in the

    Why coffee with every meal?

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that it's all in your head that coffee can keep you awake at night. It has caffeine and that is a stimulant. In some people caffeine has the opposite effect, similar to ritalin calming down...
