Hey, one of your tattoos says "Brave" the other says "Stand Tall". What gives?

"Student", they said. "Go to do vaccinations", they said. "It's easy", they said. " Have fun", they said. "Rest your feet", they said. "Ha-Ha", I say. "Big joke", I say.

Better stop. I'm a pro with a dart, too.

They call themselves escort services. The only way I could see that he would have access to this info is if they were self insured and an insurance company was the administrator. Otherwise I would think the insurance company was also in hot water.

That is the kindest thought I had when I read this. Somehow I doubt he would want his Visa or Marster Card Bill emailed all over. I do know one doctor who got caught about his prostitutes by the bills. I suspect this doctor has enough money. Blamin...

I am also glad you could be there for your dad. Some grown children, even if not health care professionals, learn about the diseases of family members. As a new nurse you might not wish to be in that nursing tribe, as some members then might spout ...

Do your pre-reqs. They will be good for any avenue you choose. If it is nursing -great. If it is something totally different, that is OK also. Is it that you see ER nurses and trauma nurses as more interesting? Once you get to college you will mee...

I agree that school nurses should not be put in the position to have to do the earring thing. What kind of earrings are these kids wearing? I see professional football players with diamond earrings in place during games. If this is the role model ...

I like the ballons indicating talk and thought in the new ones better than the current small balloons. Not wild about the colors either but figured a radical change would not be helpful either. I compare it to the Pepsi logo. Some things change but ...

We can't give legal advice. Go to the BON website and review the way it is worded. Then perhaps consult a lawyer to get the exact meaning of what you have described.

Well, we all can ask for ADA accommodation for depression, stress, etc. It just means they could not judge by your lack of smile. What do they do with someone post stroke, injury or birth injury? Wow.

Look UNDER the beard. Tattoo reads clearly, "DNR"

Stanley McChrystal: Gun Control Requires 'Serious Action' Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal came out in favor of gun control restrictions in a Tuesday morning appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Said McChrystal, "I personally don't think there's any n...

My experience is that LTC figures out many other ways of dealing without restraints. Side rails not used because people climb over them. Most hospitals are not as gifted in getting creative about ways of helping the person with restraints. You can...

I think it would be appropriate to write a complaint to your NM and cc to how ever his NM is. Call it what it is. Theft. If they chose not to address it then get your Ob doc to write a note for you to copy and give to the NM. It should say that ...

My thoughts also. However instead of being at least grateful for the time they have to get a replacement I got "how do you know you won't feel better". Duh, because I am a nurse and a human being who has a clue about how long it takes to recover fro...

ACA is just coming into the picture. it really cannot be blamed for stats 10 years old. It could be a good reason for needing to be implemented, who knows. I don't think either situation, medical error or gun deaths, is one to brag about.

Some times the same problems persist. If it still is a problem it may be good to revive it rather than start a new and miss some of the wisdom shared in the past.

Most murderers only do it once unless contracted. Those rarely get caught. Most of that degree of violence is emotional and personal. To claim they would not have happened if a gun were not available denies the knife deaths, blugeonings, running s...

I am not that sold on statistics. Are we counting war firearms? Do we include all the females killed in DV? Somehow I think there is a self -fulfilling prophecy in these stats. I do understand that I look at anecdotal rather than numbers crunching...

Currently we have jails to provide a majority of mental health services. In other words you may have to get into the penal system in order to get any mental health care. Is this really mental health care? Do we find skilled treatment savvy individual...

Billybob, I agree completely. There are people who need to be confined for their own good as well as the rest of society. Our mental health system is broken, IMHO. We have poor criteria for who is a danger to themselves or others and our health car...
