  1. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    EMTastic replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my opinion on assault and battery: Whatever a cop can press charges on, we should be able to press charges on. No one can argue with

  3. Do men have priority when considered for Nursing School?

    EMTastic replied to playbanjogood's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was just talking with a guy at work trying to get into school, and he said that they really look more into GPAs but If say you had an equivillant GPA of a female some colleges will choose you over a...

  4. Should hospitals charge interest on unpaid accounts?

    EMTastic replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    I think people should be allowed to demonstrate on paper that they cannot pay the bill before interest is it

  5. Caring for Jehovah's witnesses

    EMTastic replied to cu-n-hvn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I meant that this is the interpretation of the passage to a JW employee exclusively. This parable tells a JW that (in context) if they are a nurse, give people blood. My attitude a JW patient, well,...

  6. Caring for Jehovah's witnesses

    EMTastic replied to cu-n-hvn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    By "blood" they definitely mean meat/ pusle diet, which is Jewish practice. I don't think that was important in this exerpt, though, but the lesson behind the story: Do your job the way you were...

  7. Family members that work your nerves!!!

    EMTastic replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    Well I have no room to talk. My dad had a small heart attack less than two weeks ago prior to this story. He was having the same chest tightness (no pain, but he is diabetic) We took him to the ER...

  10. Nursing School Wait Lists

    EMTastic replied to WhiteShadows's topic in General Nursing

    If you didn't mind moving: St. John's hospital in Springfield IL has a good BSN program what I've heard. Hard, I'm told, but good. They have a program that will pay your tuition based on signing a...

  11. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    EMTastic replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I too have trouble with my memory in the workplace. I have been jokingly called 'dingdong' at work but people at work don't realize that it isn't carelessness, I am actually forcing myself to focus...

  12. THE WORST Experience/night of my life!

    EMTastic replied to emmie08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not a nurse but everyone makes mistakes. The people that are gossipping about yours have probably made the same, possibly even worse mistakes! And you have to think that they were gossiped about...

  13. Do you ever talk about your 'bad' patients?

    EMTastic replied to aruray's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever says they've never talked about their troublesome patient is lying to you. Not only is this not a bad thing, it is also very necessary. It is important bonding mechanism for coworkers. It...

    EMTastic replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    :idntdt:

  15. Don't like to say I'm an RN. Long...

    EMTastic replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If there were no difference between an RN and LP/VN, every LPN would go to school another year for RN and get paid

  16. Why are RN-RN relations at work 'bad', but MD-RN ones okay?

    EMTastic replied to MaleRNsoon2bOMDoc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What comes from the peers is about prestige. It's just like a guy getting cheers from the bros for scoring a "hot chick". However, male doctors and female nurses alot of times do have complimentary...

  17. My Word... What Can't You Get at Wal-Mart??

    EMTastic replied to happybunny1970's topic in General Nursing

    The McDonalds of healthcare. Less nose-sucking and throat-swabbing for us in the ER. I'm all for

  18. "No, I am not pregnant"

    EMTastic replied to Tysmommy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have a really sensetive stomach to certain foods and get -very- bloated easily. Well, when I was in my CNA class, my instuctor pull me aside one day before clinicals and ask me if I was pregnat...

  19. Got Laid Off... Good time to Start in the Med Field... But WHERE???

    EMTastic replied to Future-Male-RN's topic in Men in Nursing

  21. do any of you like codes??

    EMTastic replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have a love/hate relationship with codes right now! I think the "hate" only due to the fact I am really new to EMS, but codes are a big reason I chose a career in the ER. For example, the other day...
