  1. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    Well, harassment is all in the perception of the victim. Someone could come up to you and make a joke, and as long as YOU take it as a joke, there's no problem. Now, if you're offended by a comment...

  2. Too much testosterone at work- frisky doctors

    tmiller027 replied to Rapheal's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this one and I'm male. This kind of thing is not the woman's fault, especially if the guy is married. However, it's not limited to nursing. I work in law enforcement right now, and my...

  3. Help! Can't decide between nursing or teaching

    tmiller027 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    I have some friends who've gone into teaching and it is NOT low stress at all. Teachers today have little or no tools to control their students. They cannot use physical force even if two kids are...

  4. PLEASE say something POSITIVE about Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    I think its great reading positive comments by people who love their jobs. It's so much more comforting reading these posts than the negative ones

  5. nurse leaders/charge bull

    tmiller027 replied to CherryRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Good point, on my police department, when a job is posted, several people will put in for the job, but one person will have been "told" to put in for it by the administration. They do a whole...

  6. nurse leaders/charge bull

    tmiller027 replied to CherryRN's topic in Nurse Management

    I would say get a thicker skin LOL...sorry just kidding, carry-over from an argument on another board. Seriously, this is a bunch of crap, but I think the others are right, this goes on all over the...

  7. Dr. Dean (democratic primary contender) on Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to geekgolightly's topic in General Nursing

    These are all good points. If he does get elected, I do hope he follows through on this promise. While I agree completely that something needs to be done about healthcare, I get nervous whenever...

  8. Here's One For Ya.......

    tmiller027 replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I do know when something stinks. I'd take your husbands advice and keep documenting her behavior until you figure out what she's up to. She'll give herself away eventually....

  9. Dr. Dean (democratic primary contender) on Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to geekgolightly's topic in General Nursing

    Well, what worries me...is they say "if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is." While I really like what Dean has to say on this issue, I'm afraid he might be a bit too far left for me on...

  10. Whatever Happened to SARS????

    tmiller027 replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Last I heard, it had pretty much been contained. I havent' read of any new outbreaks since the Canada

  11. Men in Nursing

    tmiller027 replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a male student starting the nursing program in the fall. I'm taking anatomy and some other prereqs right now. THere's only 4 guys in my anatomy class and 3 of us are going into nursing. The...

  12. To give credit to the show ER (part 2)

    tmiller027 replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    I work in law enforcement now, and going to school to be a nurse. I can tell you, most of us LOVE Law and Order, especially SVU, the cops on there come across as pretty real and the bad guys don't...

  13. How do you deal with "patient-know-it-alls"?

    tmiller027 replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like some of the people in my A&P class. Our professor is an M.D. and yet, when he talks about what certain healthy organs should look like, or do, there's a couple students who ALWAYS...

  14. Not Good Enough For Medicine - Be A Nurse!

    tmiller027 replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I've considered, once I finish school and get my bachelors in nursing, to work for several years as a nurse, and perhaps go to law school and get into working on legal issues with medical personnel...

  15. How do you deal with "patient-know-it-alls"?

    tmiller027 replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    I think most public service professions are subject to this. I've worked in law enforcement for 5 years and constantly have people telling me how to do my job. I told people a few times.."I don't go...

  16. Tired of "ER's" Portrayal of Nurses???

    tmiller027 replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

    Just throwing in my 2 cents worth here, the show was created by Michael Crichton, who I believe graduated Harvard Medical School with an M.D. Knowing that, it's understandable why they glamorize...

  17. Do you wear gloves

    tmiller027 replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even a nurse yet, and in my current job as a jail officer, I always wear gloves when I have to come in contact with a prisoner, if it's just searching, fingerprinting, or putting cuffs and...

  18. failing anatomy-- new member

    tmiller027 replied to lanitra's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think a lot of it depends on where you're at. I'm in Indiana, and here you have to take an exam before admission to a nursing program. They determine admission strictly on your score on that

  19. Could use some input

    tmiller027 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an interesting dilemma at my current job. I'm a jail officer for our police department here in Indiana. I'm currently taking my prereqs for nursing school at the community college. Here's...

  20. Could use some input

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks sjoe. I like your sig line. There's a lot of truth to that. I put up with a lot of crap there for years before finally deciding I'd had enough. I've now adopted a zero-tolerance policy on...

  21. Could use some input

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks sjoe. We do have a union and my rep told me to find any documentation I can to present to them when I file my grievance. They'll have a hard time arguing if I can show them on paper that not...

  22. Could use some input

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating, Thanks for your input. The whole 12-24 hr thing is the county jail's rule, not ours. We send our prisoners to the county if they need any medical problems. At least thats what we had...

  23. Emphasis on caring or personal gain?

    tmiller027 replied to oregonvolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of reminds me of a quote I heard from a pro baseball player a few years ago before the Major Leagues went on strike. He was a back up infielder and said, "People think we all make millions...

  24. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

    tmiller027 replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I agree with you that most of us who are non-medically trained don't even catch such things. I know the show isn't perfect, and I'm not sure what they think on there sometimes either. But it's...

  25. Nurses Storyline on "ER"??

    tmiller027 replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I've watched this show for years. I don't think this scene or any of the others I've seen were meant to make nurses look bad. I thought it made her look strong and...
