  1. Being denied employment because of a credit check :(

    woody62 replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is the Group I was referring to. I guess it is a good thing I have given up any thought of going back to work and having it depend on my credit. My credit went down the drain when I was...

  2. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just what is my old home state allowing you to do? Purchase your nurses license number and have it put on your driver's license? Heck, I miss my four year car registration and it's small fee. Here...

  3. Vancomycin..first choice drug??

    woody62 replied to lsyorke's topic in General Nursing

    A year ago I was admitted to ICU in septic shock, when a wound developed an infection four weeks after an I & D. I was put on Vancomycin but I am also allergic to penicillin. I would be nervous...

  4. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Some times, when confronted with a life or death situation, people will change their minds. And when it is no longer a life or death situation, revert back to their original beliefs. It is...

  5. How to deal with MRSA patients?

    woody62 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    Does your hospital have an in service department and infection control? If they do I would check with them and infection control, regarding a mandatory in service on the care of MRSA patients....

  6. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the J.W. are just like every other religion. People have degrees as to what is morally acceptable to them within their religious beliefs. Yes, there are J.W.'s who use cellsavers, just...

  7. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we are in the minority Leslie. We think that every action has a reaction. And all behavior has a morality attached to it. And so many people wonder why young people break so many of the...

  8. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest you talk to a lawyer about what is a threat and what is not. The nurse threatened a law officer. That threated opened her to criminal action. The officer apparently thought a report to...

  9. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not bragging, why post about how you got away with getting a ticket because you were in a nurse's uniform. I started driving when I was 15 1/years old, in California. I still drive and I...

  10. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    My dear, I am a believer in the tenets of the Roman Catholic Church. My SO is a Jew, who believes and follows the tenets of the Jewish faith. We both worked in the world. There were times when we...

  11. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I once had a priest tell me that there wasn't anything worse then a lasped Catholic. I sure if he knew about our 'friend' he would agree there isn't anything worse then a lasped...

  12. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    So, we finally know the reasons for your bias. You remind me of several of my other co-religous Catholics. You share a similar distored view. Woody Who lived and went to school and worked not to far...

  13. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but the nurse stepped out of bounds. She did threaten a police officer by telling her she would not care for her, if she saw her as a patient. Just as police officers are held to higher...

  14. Seriously Ill Patient vs A New RN Who Clearly Did Not Know How To Work in That Area

    woody62 replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sitting in judgment of your experiences. They very well could have happened just the way you describe them. The first several days I spent in ICU, last July, I recalled two other patients....

  15. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    You want to know something. I am not a J.W, but I find your posting offensive and very slanted. You have very carefully chosen your words but the implications are quite clear. You do not approve of...

  16. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    I am sixty two years old today and for the last fifty years I have been studying other religions, their beliefs and their requirements of their members. I have found that a large number of people...

  17. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, where do you guys live? I got pulled over by an unmarked NYS trooper, out of uniform, just before getting my toll ticket. He took my license, insurance and registration. And kept me...

  18. Help me stump the nun;)

    woody62 replied to southernatheart's topic in General Nursing

    I remember in the sixth grade, telling Mother Superior, that her veil had come loose (the straight pins they use, two had come loose). I didn't get smacked but the look she gave me, froze my soul....

  19. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    woody62 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe my blood sugar is too low and I am having problems thinking. I really do not understand what you are attempting to say. I don't know your position on people who are not R.N.'s or L.P.N.'s...

  20. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with JW, Amish, and Mennonitists, as well as R.C. Despite their beliefs, Amish are not opposed to receiving the benefits and machines of modern medicine. J.W. have always made known...

  21. Jehovah Witness RNs

    woody62 replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but it depends on your Bishop. And you will find that in Catholic hospitals, the baby comes first, the mother second. One of my former Bishop's put out a directive stating that the baby was to...

  22. securing foleys

    woody62 replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't worked in seventeen years but I have had foley's in for three months and twenty one days. Mine were taped to my leg. And neither was kinked. I do remember that some of the UTI's we got...

  23. Help me stump the nun;)

    woody62 replied to southernatheart's topic in General Nursing

    I taught religious education, in my parish, for several years. Two of my students and one of our parish priest were able to recite it correctly. But since our priest was born, raised, and took his...

  24. Help me stump the nun;)

    woody62 replied to southernatheart's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you know that it is not nice to monkey around with a representitive of God:lol2:

  25. Medicare Question

    woody62 replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but you misunderstood my post. There are three hospitals here in Charlotte County. All three hospitals are designated rural by Medicare. This means that they are reimbursed by Medicare as...
