    FireStarterRN replied to Slobgob's topic in General Nursing

    At 75 people, that's only about $15 a person. Not much of a spa

    FireStarterRN replied to ShelleyERgirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hope you can get counseling, it sounds like you have some family issues that contributed to this lapse in judgement. No, your life isn't over! Good luck, I hope things start getting better, don't...

    Co-worker who calls me cutsie terms of endearment and pokes me a lot

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    There's this woman on the unit where I've been working for 8 months, she was a new hire after I had already been there. She's just all over me. She'll do things like, when I'm standing up and...

    Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    FireStarterRN replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    My Stepmother grew up Jehovah Witness, she felt very left out of everything, it was hard on her. It's hardest on the kids, surrounded by all these fun holidays, not being able to have a birthday...

    FireStarterRN replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    People are too easily offended about things like this these days. In reality, Christmas is mostly a seasonal, gift-giving holiday, not really a religious one. In actuality, the Christian Church...

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she has a crush on me, she's married, has a kid. I think she sees me as a friendly and trustworthy face. The bottom line is, she's being over the top friendly to me and I don't like it...

    FireStarterRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is, she always does this sort of hit and run, or at the nurses station in front of a bunch of people. I dunno, I'm not good at this. It's not like I want to pull her aside and make her feel...

    The ANA really doesn't like non-BSN Nurses

    FireStarterRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't intend to spend the time and money to get a BSN. I'm 51 years old and still raising children. I don't want to waste precious time writing meaningless 30 page careplans and writing fluff...

    This isn't sexual harassment, it's the fact that this woman is a dorky woman and she doesn't seem to know normal social behavior. I'll have to try to observe or find out if she does this with others....

    FireStarterRN replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that 85% consists of a large amount of purely nominal 'Christians', who don't have any sort of active religious life, don't pray, don't attend church, don't have a strict moral code,

    This thread reminds me, I need to send them a certified letter disenrolling from membership. At my last job, it was a closed shop. Thank God my new job is an open shop. They did diddly squat for me....
