   OMG...LOL! I so agree to all of that!! I also get the same thing when we are doing the baby paperwork and the mom has to sign it all. The dad's get all offended, asking why they don't sign anything,...

2. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

   cicicross replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

   And I thought I was crazy for having to have my patient cards at work organized perfectly, with their name written (in black sharpie, of course) in the upper left corner and room number on the upper...

   I currently work in an almost constantly understaffed unit (Womens- Postpartum, nursery, L&D) in a small hospital. We work 12 hour shifts but have to be at work 20 minutes early for report, 30...

5. Poll: Male Nurses in the OB? Ok or No Way???

   cicicross replied to KrisRNwannabe's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think I would consider it a matter of trust, just a matter of comfort. As a woman who has worked in OB for 1 1/2 years now, and has had to endure more Pap smears than I can count, I would have...

   I have to disagree. For one thing there are cases of animals practicing homosexual behaviors, for another....Christianity is FAR from the oldest religion! There are NUMEROUS religions that predate...

9. Offended by Prayer

   cicicross replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

   I agree about the spell check, LOL. Anyway to continue off topic, I have to address some of the things you brought up. About the laws on murder, thieving etc being biblical, I don't agree. I think you...

10. Offended by Prayer

    cicicross replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ on the "required to adhere" portion of your statement. Someone earlier in the thread talked about laws made due to the bible, and I have to bring up one new one in particular that...

11. Offended by Prayer

    I am a Wiccan and I have prayed with patients before because I did not want to offend them. I just remained silent and focused my energies and good thoughts toward the patient while they prayed to...
