    3 things I'll ignore on TV

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Gave me a good chuckle Davey! If I were to wear gloves into a grocery store (which I wouldn't) . . . I'd use antibacterial foam that I keep in my car. I do that anyway when I leave my car to go to...

    3 things I'll ignore on TV

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Not a fan of living room interviews or Zoom meetings. There is a TP commercial, the ones with the Bear family, letting us know they are working hard to make sure we have all the TP we need. ? And...

    It's That Time of Year Again: Preparing for Influenza Season

    Spidey's mom replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    That does sound scary. Thanks for the details. Your mild case of flu is most likely due to getting the flu shot as it can lessen the severity or keep you from getting the flu. I'm glad you will be...

    It's That Time of Year Again: Preparing for Influenza Season

    Spidey's mom replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I'm not torn. 38% chance of effectiveness is better than zero. Plus, if you do end up with the flu, you will most likely have a milder flu. As I'm nearing retirement age, I'm working with hospice...

    Should I divorce my husband

    Spidey's mom replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    YES, keeping a sense of humor keeps a marriage going! And yes, strip poker would be fun. If I didn't have a kid in the house still.

    Being bullied at work

    Spidey's mom replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed Ruby . . . and I hesitated due to the subject of this thread. We've been around awhile and seen a lot of threads about bullying and come to find out, it wasn't really bullying. (I laughed...

    How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Spidey's mom replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Good question . . . all in jest of course! ? That sounds good. I don't mind a pat on the shoulder or arm but massages make me really uncomfortable. Speak up. Unless we communicate, no one can...

    Do you have to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    Spidey's mom replied to Marie_30's topic in General Nursing

    I'd just like to add after reading the last two posts that I think what makes a nurse a good nurse is more than taking a CNA class or working as a CNA. The example used above is something I can...
