  1. Let the controversy begin.

    bluesky replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    You're right cyberkat, my comment was excessive. Sorry.

  2. transfered d/t personality confllict

    bluesky replied to dajack's topic in General Nursing

    Yeesh- how underhanded! Don't they have to get your consent before transfering you to LTC? Are there other (clearly more professional) hospitals in the area? What a great 1st experience! What a...

  3. I need advice

    bluesky replied to Scotty's topic in General Nursing

    Hero and an Angel. Good for you

  4. Let the controversy begin.

    bluesky replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    In the ideal society, people who have medical problems that aren't emergencies would have other, better resources to turn to. Unfortunately, many don't and the ER is the only place they have left. I...

  5. know it all

    bluesky replied to LilgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well I only speak for myself but I had been cognitively well educated about the perils of smoking before I started. After 10 years, the only thing that got me to stop was getting pregnant. Haven't...

  6. Ethical Question

    bluesky replied to CalvilloSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't add anything substantial to what other people have said. I admire you for keeping your calm in such a situation. I would have been so irrate with the mother I would have had to ask another...

  7. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Listen Sekar- I am sorry that you are so angered by my interpretation of your statement. I stand by my interpretation but I hate to see anyone so upset as you have become so I suggest a truce- let's...

  9. Thanking God For A GREAT Position!

    bluesky replied to Brownms46's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a place to stay in the meantime? I know you said that you were planning to move into a living space in the community there, no? If not, you're always welcome to stay here with my family...

  12. Doctors and Nurses Gone Wrong....

    bluesky replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I think physicians have a different role, scope of practice and skill set. They are simply different. Ultimately, their mandate in the diagnostic process is officially above ours (we have to execute...

  13. If ONE more person tells me......

    bluesky replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    OK, maybe I am a little biased... :) :)

  14. If ONE more person tells me......

    bluesky replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    This is a GREAT explanation. Doesn't everyone bring something unique to their practice of nursing just for being a different person with different skills? I am proud of the fact that I speak french...

  15. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Please review your own words before accusing me of hyperbole and misinterpretation. Thank

  16. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ back. Sekar suggested to her that if she didn't like it,to leave this country. If you don't see how suggesting that someone should leave the country is an escalation then we'll...

  17. Hope that this may answer some of the questions I have received!

    bluesky replied to beluka's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, Sharann, just about every nurse I know who has done travel nursing says just about the same thing. The only drawbacks I've heard about are 1) bad if you have older kids- you want...

  18. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Sekar I never said you can't express your opinion, now did I. What I *implied* is that this type of aggressive overture ( love it or leave it) is much more intimidating and frankly the first step to...

  19. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    This is getting quite ugly. I think (correct me if I'm wrong, Sharon) what she meant is... Teshiee's life experience (and parents) have taught her that for her this is the most racist country in the...

  21. Racial discrimination in Nursing....

    bluesky replied to Barbie38's topic in General Nursing

    Barbie- Does your friend get a heavier load than others of similar experience (in terms of number or acuity of pts)? Does she get in trouble for small things that other (presumably white) nurses...

  23. If ONE more person tells me......

    bluesky replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    When I went to sign up for senior practicum I thought for sure they'd give me ED when I whined about my EMS experience. The recruiter told me that actually EMTs are some of the biggest problem nurses...

  24. Sent home from Clinical

    bluesky replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my advice- this could end up well with a personal discussion with the instructor as suggested above. Yet if she's psycho heffer the whole thing could get real ugly real fast. Personally, I...
