3. Am I the only one?

   jcgrund replied to cchezem15's topic in Correctional

   I feel the same way. I was working in an E.R. once and a coworker commented on a patient that had attempted to OD. She went on and on saying how this young person should have "just done it," and was "just whining" and was "wasting everyone's time." I...

   Yes, they do what they are ordered to do because they took an oath to do so. They have to do things whether they agree with them or not because they took an oath to do so. They are not allowed to quit if they don't like it. You do not have to think t...

5. Nurses are the real heroes ?

   jcgrund replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   Ok, here's the deal...the folks in the military do what they are ordered to do. Just because you don't agree with the politics of a specific war, it doesn't mean that those same people have not taken an oath to defend the freedom of the country. The ...

6. Nurses are the real heroes ?

   jcgrund replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   Excuse me...current military? OK, I get it if you don't consider the military to be your hero, that's your prerogative. But, the current military has taken the same oath to defend freedom as any other military you may be referring to. I take offense ...

   jcgrund replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the great article. I am currently going through a preceptorship, and all I hear or read are horror stories. My experience so far has been nothing but pleasant. Maybe I'm just lucky, but so far everyone I have worked with has been patien...

   Such a great thing that you didn't let life's road blocks stop you from working toward something great! All too often, people give up.

    jcgrund replied to dess.'s topic in Career Support

    Congrats on finishing high school and being accepted to college! I can only speak from my own experiences and perspective. I went into the military after school, then got married and had a kid, then made it back to nursing school. If I had it do over...

12. What do your patients call you?

    jcgrund posted a topic in NP

    I am interested in becoming a nurse practitioner, someday, and I have worked with a few great NP's. I was wondering what do you tell your patients to call you? One NP I know introduces herself by her first name, Sally, (not real name) and I have hear...

    jcgrund replied to faraday68's topic in General Students

    I am currently an LPN, working toward RN and beyond. I work in a primary care clinic and I love being a nurse, but if it were at all possible for me, I would go to med school. I'm afraid for me, though, that's it's just not possible right now. I'm 31...
