    I finally quit smoking!

    Ruas61 replied to HarleyGrandma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excellent! Keep it up! The best moment in my quit came around year 5 when I realized that when I looked, I saw how far away my time that I smoked was. I remember more of not smoking than I do of...

    What are your views on male nurses

    Ruas61 replied to jared.butler90's topic in Men in Nursing

    Male nurses are quite common now. Hardly anyone bats an eye on it anymore. I think we all get asked that

    Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    Tattoos and Nursing

    Ruas61 replied to Yadisanchez's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I could care less. I have a personal distaste for tattoos on the neck, upper chest, full sleeves and seeing the back stamp every time someone bends over. In terms of being original or...

    When should nursing homes be allowed to evict residents?

    Ruas61 replied to Emergent's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is likely a lot more to this story than written. No doubt there are some facilities that may dump patients for minor reasons or unfairly. However, the times I have seen it happen it is because...

    Need feedback ASAP

    Ruas61 replied to mkz_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Male Nurses in OB

    Ruas61 replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    Your use of the word argument is what makes me feel like it moved beyond friendly discussion. My interpretation of how I heard it. My odd thought as you call it was me trying to point out that...

    Male Nurses in OB

    Ruas61 replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    She said the same of a medical provider. Her 'argument' is her personal desire which may be based on things that she doesn't wish to expound on. It is really none of our

    Ruas61 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This will haunt her for years to come. Some of the nurses in acute care that have treated my DH over the past year have been less than stellar. However, you aren't going to see me yapping on it in...

    Ruas61 replied to Rbrown12's topic in General Nursing

    Do you feel compassion or empathy in other aspects of your life? If you answer no to that, you likely have a problem. In work, while not the 'norm' it is not required as long as one can be personable...
