  1. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    bigjim replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    One word. NO. So they build the place in a location that makes no sense, seem to be in denial about the potential for serious injury or death, and then try to muscle you into staying?

  2. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    bigjim replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

    although, to be fair, ems is a male-dominated field and it has more than its share of the "sacred calling" types who somehow think getting paid for doing this kind of job is almost wrong. and, ems...

  3. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    bigjim replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in General Nursing

    How sweet would that

  4. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    bigjim replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    If I knew about a storm days in advance I'd be in another state when it hits, if you're talking about a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane. If something happened and I was in the area, like a tornado, plane...

  5. Deportation of Undocumented Immigrants in the US

    bigjim replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    Let me be the first to say...

  6. Hanging up on me!

    bigjim replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like basic sales training. By saying, "I'll hold while you do whatever", she is trying to control the pace and nature of the conversation. You should have just said, "okay, hold please",...

  7. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't take public transportation now, let alone in a crisis

  8. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You always have a choice. You might not like the consequences of that choice, but you have a choice. Nobody's making me work if I decide I'm not working. They may be able to physically take me...

  9. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sure, it is possible. But it gets more and more likely the more you are exposed. By the time it was figured out that something like that was happening, lots of people would have it. But not...

  10. Flight nursing....Too tall? Heavy?

    bigjim replied to kyboyrn's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Would that apply to fixed wing as well, or just helicopter? I'm almost 6'4" and fat. The fat part is my problem, and I'm working hard to fix it, but there's nothing much I can do (or want to do) about...

  11. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's exactly what I'm going to do. I'll be in my house and nobody's coming in. The flu spreads either by droplet or by air, but even by air it requires a pretty decent proximity to people. Which...

  12. Why is this PC bullcrap prioritized above people's lives?

    bigjim replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Others could learn from your example. Now make those slackers get their own place! Think of what a nice house they could get if all four were

  13. Why is this PC bullcrap prioritized above people's lives?

    bigjim replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding. You'd be done the minute you sat down if I was doing the interview. It is increasingly common, though. I read an article about how some very big companies are working parents into the...

  14. Why is this PC bullcrap prioritized above people's lives?

    bigjim replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    My Paramedic academy also trained police and firefighters, and the woman who ran our labs and was basically the go-to person for the department was complaining that she was constantly getting called...

  15. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    bigjim replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    So a SMART person may take that as a hint to prioritize, plan, and THINK before they make lifestyle changes that put them in that position. Some people do legitimately get disabled, run afoul of the...

  17. How to solve the shortage of new grad jobs?

    bigjim replied to BonnieSc's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean this rudely, but while you are in school take an economics course and study the difference between wealth and income. Income gets you taxes. Wealth gets you

  18. Quick to pass judgement??

    12345

  19. Quick to pass judgement??

    bigjim replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is, a lot of time the patient's condition IS their fault. Prostitute or IV drug user with HIV? Likely their fault. Stupid kid driving 120 mph and ends up in a coma? Their fault. Guy...

  20. Deposition and what do I expect?

    bigjim replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever they told you you don't need, you NEED. And right

  21. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is your opinion, which applies only to you. I actually respect your single-minded dedication, but your smug self-satisfaction is

  22. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    bigjim replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    While I disagree with your opinion, I appreciate the logical, reasoned, and non-hostile way that you expressed yourself. Others could learn from your good example. One thing though, in all...
