    John20 replied to Valerie Salva's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I want universal health care as well, but take everything you see in a Michael Moore movie with a grain of salt. He's from around here (Flint) and either the Detroit News or Detroit Free Press did an...

  4. Starting a website

    John20 replied to TiddlywinksMom's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you just post what is wrong/insane with the system here. I'm too lazy to expand my website viewing beyond the favorite 4 I frequent. If you post it here I will read it and respond with...

  5. The Case Against Breastfeeding

    John20 replied to EffJay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a male nurse with a wife who wants children, I am against breastfeeding because it wrecks the merchandise that I have come to know and love over the years. My case is 100% selfish, yet I still...

  8. Job interview: Men must wear suits?

    John20 replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    I always wear a suit. HR will never hold being over-dressed against you. Some will feel being underdressed shows a lack of professionalism or a lack of taking the interview serious. I don't feel...

  9. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    John20 replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP already says that she agrees with the idea of limiting foreign nurses. This is the point of previous threads, so I trust that she has seen the light and realizes that they weren't racist....

  11. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    John20 replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This post is way off, starting with the title. The desire to prevent foreign nurses from coming into the country is a NATIONALISTIC point of view, not racist. Filipino nurses were singled out...

  12. What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    John20 replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

  14. O2 Sat is 100% but the hemoglobin is 5g/100ml.. what is wrong with the patient?

    John20 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    So a patient with a Hgb of 5 would need an IV iron supplement (MD ordered of course). Am I correct in my thinking on that? Check the patient's HR and RR, raise the head of the bed and definately...

  15. Is non-pitting edema graded 1-4?

    John20 replied to smstar1996's topic in General Nursing

    I have always understood non-pitting edema to be graded as "Non-pitting". I have graded it a "1" before when I could make a slight indention in the patient's foot. I've done a lot of assessments....

  16. CC Waiting List

    John20 replied to Dadof8blessings's topic in Michigan Nursing

  19. Keeping the Other Half Happy

    John20 replied to MeganAK's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the guy. My wife makes more than I do as an executive, but I live a lifestyle consistent with what I can afford on my salary alone. For me it has nothing to do with male/female dynamics...

  20. Pay raise with the current financial crisis in the US

    John20 replied to massrn116's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want to give anything back. They are coming to you because you are/we/nurses are easy targets. If they really are in finacial trouble (I wouldn't be so sure) let them negotiate with the...

  21. Personal Trainer?

    John20 replied to Sue Damones's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Once a week with a personal trainer will set you up with exercises to do, how to do them and one day of extrinsic motivation. You'll need to take what you get out of that one day and motivate...
