  1. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I saw the tape as well. All I saw were two individuals, dressed as nuns, taking Holy Communion, with the respect and reverence that all of the other worshipers who received Communion as well. I hate...

  2. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I do not know what other Christian religions teach or believe but the Catholic Church doesn't teach that being a homosexual is a sin, surprise. What my Church does teach is having sex outside of...

  3. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I love visiting S.F. It reminds me so much of the Village, in NYC, only it encompasses almost the whole city. I am a Roman Catholic but am aware of the differences in the other Catholic Churches. I...

  4. Medicare Against Mistakes

    woody62 replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    A year ago, this past July, I spent twenty-one days in an ICU because of sepsis, acute renal failure, acute gastritis and pneumonia. My bill came to over $220,000. I only have Medicare. They paid a...

  5. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I happen to be a practicing Catholic. And I saw the pieces put on by MSNBC, CNN, and Fox. And as usual, Bill Reilly played the religious card to the hilt, stating that the Catholic Church was being...

  6. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you think that the article is based on NYT sensational journalism. Perhaps the Daily New or the New York Post print more stories to your liking and less sensational? I don't think that the...

  7. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I posted this thread as an attempt to start a discussion about the attitudes of non-gay health care professionals, toward their patients who are gay, or homosexual, or transsexual, or even bisexual....

  8. Pinky finger issue

    woody62 replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    And I thought this was all about making a pinky promise, as my granddaughter always makes me promise.

  9. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I just love it. Which hospital did you work in, in PC

  10. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, when did you work there? It is a great hospital. I spent a week there, a few days after Charlie hit, on their cardiac surgery floor. And I had surgery there in January of this year. For the...

  11. Flu Shots

    woody62 replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask you guys a few questions. Does your employer or did your program require you get the Hepatitis B series? The graduate program I was in did. Or I couldn't do any of the clinical...

  12. Nursing and Epilepsy

    woody62 replied to VieraGrl1030's topic in General Nursing

    Here we go again. I suffer from a seizure disorder, am a Type 2 diabetic, am bipolar. I have been told I don't need to inform new employers, I don't need to tell anyone, I can't have any action...

  13. Attitudes towards RN's and lack of respect

    woody62 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Since I have been coming on the net for the past nine years I have found: 1. Patients attacking nurses. 2. Patient's families attacking nurses. 3. Patients being too demanding. 4. Patients and...

  14. Needlestick- who pays for PPD therapy??

    woody62 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    A needle stick, or any other type of injury you suffer, while at work in your facility, is generally a Workers Compensation injury. You may not decide to make a report, obtain and attorney, and sue....

  15. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I had an experience where upon admission of a badly burned lineman, he was accompanied by a woman who presented herself as his wife. We never questioned her. And we accepted her authorization for...

  16. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    The one thing I liked about the AIDS Unit, at Sarasota Memorial, in 1986, it was so alive. The nurses were not hiding out in the nurses station. Partners were encouraged to visit. Catholic Priests,...

  17. Family Only? Gay Patients.

    woody62 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for the nurses and the Catholic Priest. I would like to say that I am surprised at the parents attitude but I am not. Too many times families fail to accept the homosexuality of their child....

  18. Am I sensitive about the title Nurse?

    woody62 replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what some states define as a flight nurse but I do know what the Air National Guard defines as one. And in order to be one, you have to hold a minimum of a BSN. What ever this guy is,...

  19. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    A patient comes into your facility. He/she is accompanied by his/her significant other and that person is of the same sex. You might chose to ignore it's significance but let me assure you, others...

  20. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    Woody do you have a link to the article, I couldn't find it. It is so hard for me to understand how nurses can treat people badly based on their opinions of the pts lifestyle, color, or what ever. A...

  21. Any RN's that graduated before 1980

  22. Dressing for Halloween?

    woody62 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I know what I would have done, if it had been me, and the person dressed in the rabbit suit had been a male. I would have thrown my arms around him and planted a big kiss on his cheeck, while...

  23. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could say I am surprised but after having lived in Florida, for all most twenty-five years, I am not. Back in 1987 I had a young man, who I was providing case management for a WC injury,...

  24. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you read the article or not but the fact that you believe there are no gay individuals living in your nursing homes or assisted living facilities just points out one very clear thing,...

  25. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    woody62 replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree with you more. The story mentioned several health care professionals and nonprofessionals that interacted with several of these individuals. Their behavior is appalling. I am not...
