    tmiller027 replied to neneRN's topic in Emergency

  2. Why al the negativity in LTC???

    tmiller027 replied to sixes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Where I work they take really good care of the residents and the staff is great. However, they don't seem to care much for the employees. Besides being the lowest paid of any area nursing home, they...

    tmiller027 replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm still up in the air on the NP thing. I'm not sure how much theyr'e allowed to do in Indiana and if the pay justifies the cost. I have thought of law school though and doing healthcare...

    tmiller027 replied to ayndim's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My mom said I should just be a doctor when I told her I was going for nursing. When I explained to her that I'd be about 40 when I got done with school, and then 50 when I finished residency, never...

  8. Mamma's Boys (vent)

    tmiller027 replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

    While I've seen plenty of "mama's boys" I've also seen (and unfortunately dated) my share of "mama's girls" With them, the story is a bit different. While they may say they HATE their mother, every...

  9. If you could get a masters degree now, what would you get?

    tmiller027 replied to t2000JC's topic in General Nursing

    While I'm still working on my ADN, thinking longterm, I'm not sure what i"d get a masters in. I've thought of different NP fields, but not sure if I'd be happy going that route. One thing I HAVE...

    He wasn't technically "MY" patient. He has been in our nursing home for awhile, and has been really sick for a week or so. I'm a CNA. I came in for my shift the other night and the nurse told me he...

  13. Just because I'm in uniform does not make me fair game

    tmiller027 replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    Well thank you :) I know I am too, but your post reminds me of a conversation I had with a former co-worker at my old job. He asked me how I like working with almost all women compared to all men....

  14. Lost my first patient

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Well thank you! How sweet of you to say that. I really didn't feel like I'd done that much. There wasn't much that I could do but a few little things, but I guess in that situation those make all...

    tmiller027 replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you!! I try to be good to work with. There's a handful of us there who bend over backwards to get things done and to help each other out. On the nights when we work, things run pretty smooth....

    tmiller027 replied to angelicaparki's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine at our LTC facility is an LPN. SHe used to work at a local hospital, but she quit because she said they only use LPNs there as CNAs pretty much. Not sure why they do that, unless...

  19. Just because I'm in uniform does not make me fair game

    tmiller027 replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    On the contrary, I find them very sexy...however, how a woman "looks" in scrubs is only secondary. I'm attracted to strong, intelligent women, and a nurse embodies all those things. Not the reason...

  22. another ethical subject - organ donation and the government

    tmiller027 replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    With me, its the idea that the state has the RIGHT to your body once you die unless you specify otherwise. Thats not how civil liberties work. If you want to do something, then you choose TO do it,...

  25. another ethical subject - organ donation and the government

    tmiller027 replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that I'm against the government doing ANYTHING without the consent of the person or their family. This "greater good" mentality is a form of socialism. I know we have mild forms of it...
