    Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Call to action! Nurses in Monitoring Programs

    Ahhh this explains so
  4. I work pediatrics and NICU, where cameras are often used in NICU to give family members view of their little one. My point is that I don't see why it has to be one or the other - if my loved one was...
  5. My point is that we can have these cameras (which, for the record, I am all for) AND give patients the dignity and respect that they deserve, including during private moments such as personal care if...
  6. The issue isn't whether or not you are comfortable with it, but whether or not your grandmother still deserves that dignity and privacy during personal care. Which the answer is yes, she does, if...

    2020 away from healthcare

    I've always found this kind of post interesting and never really understood it. It reminds me of someone winning the lottery and then suddenly looking down upon all the "peasants" of the world. Or as...

    The Above and Beyond question in an interview

    I agree with brownbook, I think your answer may give more insight. If it is the basic run of the mill "above and beyond" type of story, I don't see what the problem is. But if your above and beyond...
  11. Oh man, I finally fell victim to a zombie
  12. Absolutely put your children first. Just understand there could be consequences to rescinding the offer, including being blacklisted from the facility in the future. I was close friends with a...

    My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    QOL vs Preservation of Life

    I don't necessarily disagree with that either, which in part is what I meant/was including when I said to our ability. That is where there is the blurred line of where to draw the line, what is too...

    Ohio Hospice

    Yes, it is. My mother passed away at home in Ohio in 2015 as peacefully as possible thanks to the wonderful people who do in-home

    QOL vs Preservation of Life

    I think my opinion on quality of life versus preservation of life is simply that - my opinion - and shouldn't be pushed into my practice because not everyone may share the same opinion that I do....

    I hope this passes in NJ

    There actually are (or maybe were) some vaccines that contained pork - Porcine gelatine. From what I remember off the top of my head though, many Muslim and Jewish leaders stated that although pork...

    Failed class, still continued, not fair

    Oh sweetie you are going to be in for a world of shock and surprise if you make it to the real world. Please do not continue to have this type of mind frame. Let it go, it has nothing to do with you....

    Random tests?

    This isn't accurate. More than likely, even if it is legalized federally, no hospital will allow it - just as many hospitals will not hire you if you us any form of nicotine. OP you've received some...

    Seeking advice/information

    You seem way too invested, or this is actually about you and not your "friend." If this is indeed actually about a friend, I think it is time you step back and let it go as this is none of your...

    Seeking advice/information

    There are people who divert medications but do not take the medications themselves and either give them to loved ones or sell them. This was the case of a good work friend of mine years ago who I...

    Seeking advice/information

    I also want to add that, unless you left out a large portion of the story, the fact that you both jumped to the conclusion that this was done by "bullies" at your workplace is a big assumption to make...

    Seeking advice/information
