  1. My boyfriend is still unvaccinated

    MelodyNelson replied to vio's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You guys are incompatible. I think it would be a good riddance for the BOTH of you. So he is a liar, and you are overbearing and over reaching. If he doesn't want to vaccinate for whatever...

  2. How many unvaccinated coworkers are you aware of?

    MelodyNelson replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

  5. Getting the Vaccine: Nurses Lead the Way

    MelodyNelson replied to jeastridge's topic in Disaster Preparation

  11. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    MelodyNelson replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I find memberes without foreskin as disturbing as an eye with no eyelids, or a mouth with no lips. Men get adhesions and scarring in their foreskin because in places where mutilating memberes...

  12. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    MelodyNelson replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Women produce lady partsl secretions. It is also involuntary. Nobody suggest mutilation to fix that "problem". Men are perfectly capable to clean their intact memberes, the same way that...

  15. Seeking advice of correctional nurses

    MelodyNelson replied to AnonymousDeleted's topic in Correctional

    Just like judging your patients is definitely not a good thing, judging your coworkers or potential coworkers is not a good thing either. It is perfectly OK to redirect the person that is being...

  16. Math requirement for RNs?

    MelodyNelson replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I have co-workers that cannot do basic medical math. For example there was a med, and we were supposed to give 5 mg. The pills came in 2 mg. Right on the label, it said to give 2.5 pills....

  17. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    MelodyNelson replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    MelodyNelson replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

  24. Mandatory flu shots????

    MelodyNelson replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation
