    Anyone See Blosson Brown on the I am Cait show?

    Ruas61 replied to Riawahine's topic in General Nursing

    Just because she said doesn't automatically make it true. I think more information is needed before gathering the pitchforks and striking up the

    Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    Ruas61 replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Prayer away in private or in your thoughts. If it brings some peace or purpose to you and your life, have at it. You can pray for me all you want but keep it to yourself. I don't want to know about...

    Ruas61 replied to SNurse15's topic in General Nursing

    Think a good thought for her and release it to the universe or say a prayer or do a kindness in her honor- what ever works for you. We often don't get the closure we would like. It's not always easy,...

    Ruas61 replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    You take this to the media, you may get your 'righteous' 15 minutes of fame but it'll likely cost you years of issues. Do you think a employer is going to look at your going public over an...

    Nurse Supervisor retaliating against patient

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

    It does sound a bit heavy handed with the dietician part. You should be allowed to go to the provider you are more comfortable with if it is an option within the group/plan. If the practice acts like...

    Elephant in the China Shop

    Ruas61 replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped right here. I , as a nurse, am not violating anyone doing my job. Really, I think your verbiage is the elephant in the room for how you are presenting the topic. We're nurses not perverts...

    Ruas61 replied to ixchel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We had a long weekend to Appleton Wisconsin about 2 years ago. It was like second hand/thrift store heaven. There was at least a dozen scattered throughout the town which is small. If you like...

    Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

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

    I don't see it as sexist or condescending. It borders on rude with the 'grinning' part unless it was a nervous smile. I think she was trying to save you some grief. I believe the most courteous and...
