  1. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It was trying, for sure. I think people have some very unrealistic expectations when it comes to their

  2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, your apple juice isn't as important as the lady trying to bleed to death in the next room, nor the 33-weeker antepartum down the hall who's sitting on the toilet trying to push, that I am trying...

  3. Do you ever plan on leaving the bedside?

    HeyJude replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    While I would eventually like to do something outside the hospital job, I really can't think of what I'd like to do on a fulltime basis apart from that. I don't really see myself as a teacher, I don't...

  4. The Circumcision Discussion

    HeyJude replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Link #2 posted: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/03/26/healthmag.circumcision.hpv.herpes/index.html In Uganda. They also point out that roughly 3/4 of US adults have already had at least one HPV...

  5. The Circumcision Discussion

    HeyJude replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hate to be the one to point this out to you, but I am quoting directly from the links you posted. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm Your research sites were...

  6. Would You Prefer a Male Nurse?

    HeyJude replied to djc1981's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You hate male doctors and nurses? Without even knowing them? You certainly can ask for the caregiver you want, but to say you hate someone just because they are male? I don't understand. On what are...

  7. Stupid things that bosses have you do

    HeyJude replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    What really fries me is when it's not the VIP making such a big deal over themselves, but admin does. We had one not too long ago who was a very nice patient with a very nice family, and probably had...

  8. An OB's Birth Plan

    HeyJude replied to Poppy_Petal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to admire this doc's candor but do not agree with his stance on so many things. The evidence strongly suggests that many of the things he is intent on doing are either a) not helpful; or b)...

  10. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    HeyJude replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    CRNA, and I find these generalizations disturbing and, more importantly, inaccurate. You act as if you are the only person whose tax dollars would be used to support the healthcare of the...

  11. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    HeyJude replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Silas, Unless you have been to nursing school and medical school, is there any way to know which is more rigorous? I cannot tell you how many times I have been right and a physician has been wrong....

  12. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    HeyJude replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a pretty crunchy kind of gal. I have a shirt that says "The Hippies Were Right", if that gives you any idea of the kind of things I believe. So if you don't want the Vit K, Emycin, Hep B, or PKU...

  13. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh Lord, how terrible. I think it's perfectly understandable for you to be sensitive about things like that years after they

  14. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I completely understand and respect where you are coming from, ingelein. I didn't mean to make light of your family's history. I was referring to several hundred years ago, and the 'Manifest Destiny',...

  15. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a question. I'm just throwing it out there. Do you think Native Americans ever sat around having this exact same discussion about the invading hordes of colonists? People who: - for the most...

  16. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My biggest issue is that there is no proper channel for the whopping majority of these people to go through to get here legally. A generation or two a go it wasn't so difficult, not even for Mexicans....

  17. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't think that's going to happen. 1) Whose tax dollars are we going to use to send them home? 'Home' is not just Mexico. It's Jamaica, the UK, Russia, China, South Africa, Jordan, Venezuela, and...

  18. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He was hardly being rewarded. I'm sure if he'd had his druthers, he'd have rather not been raped and infected with HIV and not needed the Neulasta to begin with. Go, live in his country for an hour,...

  19. Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm not so sure that's a fair statement to make, especially that last sentence. Some of us don't like to brag about what we give of our own time, effort, and money to help others out. How do you know,...

  21. "VIP" Patients

    HeyJude replied to dopaminequeenRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  23. Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    HeyJude replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok...lemme rephrase that. So you mean the government was not my friend when it recognized my God-given right as a woman to vote? That only happened in the last 100 years or so. The government is made...

  25. In your opinion, do surgeons really have great lifestyles???

    HeyJude replied to Jiggles123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you could pay me enough money to be a surgeon, or any other sort of
