  1. Ever notice this about allnurses?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  2. Do you get extra work cause your bilingual?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I find it refreshing that many posters here are expressing their real feelings- and not being nauseatingly PC and phony, like so many people seem to be now days. There is nothing wrong with expecting...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  5. Puny job situation

    Hellllllo Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

  6. How does night shift differ @ LTC?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to scrapgirl2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most LTCs do not have housekeeping or maintenence on nocs- if a toilet overflows or gets stopped up, the nurse deals with it. Working LTC nocs is how I learned to unclog a toilet with a coat hanger....

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, yes, it is the culture of white men (generally/historically) to look down on others who are not white men! Umm..... that's pretty much the norm all over the world and all throughout history-...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Zhlake's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The more accurate name for "female circumcision" would be CASTRATION. Their external genital organs are completely removed. This would be the same as removing a male's member. This can't even be...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even know any nurses in this area anymore. Due to being unable to find jobs, every single local nurse I know has become a traveler or moved away. I've been looking for a job here for years....
