    Death Penalty Anesthesia

    LydiaNN replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How can there be ''no'' difference between any two situations? If there was no difference at all, they wouldn't be separate situations. We're talking about choices and personal feelings here. It...

    Getting Along- The Union Debate

    LydiaNN replied to mobilsurgrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I must say, though, that part of the reason there are so many mine tragedies is that mines are inherently unsafe. That doesn't mean that all safety precautions shouldn't be taken. It just strikes me...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be difficult to prosecute Rusty Yates based on the law as it is written. That's not the same as thinking that he shouldn't be prosecuted. As far as I'm concerned, he puts those...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't call the police before or during her actions, she called them after the children were dead. At most, that indicates that she knew what she had done was illegal after she did it. Insanity...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    At most, the fact that she called the cops herself indicates that she knew that what she did was illegal. Her stated reasons for doing do not, in my opinion, speak to her ability to comprehend that...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    This wasn't postpartum depression, it was postpartum psychosis. Yes, the pregnancy exacerbated her already tenous mental state. Her husband's failure to foresee this tragedy highlights his...

    Andrea Yates R.N.

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not one of the people who think her husband should be charged with a crime, but nonetheless, I do hold his stupidity against him. And I said in an earlier post that I believe the psychiatrist...

    LydiaNN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    You're missing the point by several miles. We're not talking about a garden variety mental illness here. This was postpartum psychosis and it put his children at great risk. He knew this. Never...

    Good point. I used to love my job and I hope to love it again one

    Job satisfaction

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised... in reading posts here, I thought that the bulk of the responses would have been ''average'' rather than high... Maybe it is in the threads I read, or maybe people tend to post more...

    How many miles do you drive to work each day?

    LydiaNN replied to nurse2b2007SC's topic in General Nursing

    19 miles from front door to office for me, but I also drive a lot for

    Job satisfaction

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    That's ironic, because last September, I would've ranked my satisfaction ''high'' and possibly ''very high''. Now, it's average, bordering on

    Is Nursing a Profession?

    LydiaNN replied to ewagirlrn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    wikipedia says we are: a profession is an occupation that requires extensive training and the study and mastery of specialized knowledge, and usually has a professional association, ethical code and...

    What cities is an automobile needed in?

    LydiaNN replied to chioma829's topic in California Nursing

    The public transportation system in San Francisco is pretty good. I imagine you could get by without a car, but it wouldn't be very convenient. In San Diego and L.A., you'd be very limited without...

    Job satisfaction

    LydiaNN replied to LydiaNN's topic in General Nursing

    I said ''average'', too, although it is bordering on low lately. More crappy days than happy

    I got fired!

    LydiaNN replied to zoeintx's topic in General Nursing

    So you were fired because the documentation was falsified; it just wasn't you who falsified it? Seeing as how you weren't able to explain anything when they called you in, I'm not sure you have any...

    schizophrenia

    LydiaNN replied to stephera's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm sorry, but I think those of you who are scoffing at this idea are ignoring some compelling evidence that the idea needs further study. As I cited earlier, there is an established link between...

    schizophrenia

    LydiaNN replied to stephera's topic in Psychiatric

    There have been studies about schizophrenia and smaller head circumference, but I don't know the results. I do know, however, that Dr. Eric Courschene at University of California San Diego has...

    OMG! Allnurses withdrawal!

    LydiaNN replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to get some housework done, but it was so stinkin' humid, I just did bits and pieces. We are having a little party tomorrow, but as far as I'm concerned, good enough is good enough. I did...

    borderline-help: 2 different nurses/2 different approaches

    LydiaNN replied to gcja's topic in Psychiatric

    hsieh, I don't mean to question your skills as a nurse, but if this is your attitude as regards working with the bpd population, may I respectfully suggest you consider another specialty? It alarms...

    OMG! Allnurses withdrawal!

    LydiaNN replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I kept seeing some message about too many connections on line something or other. I thought maybe I had connected too many times, which made no sense, because even though I'm here a lot, I do notice...
