    Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    LydiaNN replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is fair to imply that some parents of children with autism aren't being honest when they say they didn't notice any signs of autism shortly after birth. Although many parents of...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know about other states, but where I live, SCHIP is "supposed" to do family find, but they don't. I do believe that it is up to families to search out information that they need, but I have a...

    your first....

    LydiaNN replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, scrubs weren't allowed in M/S when I started. My first uniform was a white dress. I did my best to find one that wasn't ugly, though, and I was very proud to don it, with those...

    Patients without insurance who self prescribe from livestock supply catalogues

    LydiaNN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never heard of using animal antibiotics before. I guess I really had my head buried in the sand on that one. The reservations I have concerning universal healthcare center more around the quality...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The only direction I was trying to take was that you continue to refer to the government as if it isn't comprised of all of us. Yes, it is an entity, but it isn't an entity that operates independent...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's fine, but it wasn't the point I was trying to make. Perhaps in the future, if you have a point to make beyond one of mine, you could just do it in a separate post, instead of, in your own...

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    How is it possible for you to expand upon a thought with which you continually state your disagreement? But, hey, "if it makes sense to

    Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It had the context I wanted it to have, pertinent to the point I wished to make. It isn't your place to explain to me what I meant or what would have been more appropriate. Thank you,

    It didn't lack content, it was precise to what I wanted to say. That it wasn't what you wanted to hear isn't exactly my

    Where did I say Abe said thing one about subsidized housing? I know perfectly well what Abe was referencing in the Gettysburg address. I quoted only that part of the address that was relevant to my...

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does this little tidbit sound familiar to you at all...government of the people, by the people and for the people... ? Or doesn't Abraham Lincoln count in the blood, sweat and tears set of which you...

    Spousal Background Checks??? HUH

    LydiaNN replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    If he's going to be coming to the facility to see her? That sounds odd to me. Is it some sort of a secure facility or a place where security clearances are needed? The insurance form makes more sense...

    Making Room at America's Inn for All God's Children

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We are talking about children here. Children of deadbeats need our help more than other children, not less. You're stuck living in one of the richest countries in the world and we just don't believe...

    How do u fell about a alcoholic receiving a liver transplant??

    LydiaNN replied to EmileeMc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I didn't see anyone who said that people can't change. Just that some people don't. The problem with giving them a liver is that it means someone else- maybe someone who doesn't have habits that...

    Is this legal?

    LydiaNN replied to kaleeh's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I don't know about the hospice question... it sounds as if it might be legal but not very ethical. The accumulation of time off though? I'd do some research on that and find out if its legal. That's...

    "If is for children"??? Then dealing with the myriad twists and turns that life takes must be for children too. In reality, "if" is a fact of life that affects adults much more than it affects...

    Accused of abandonement

    LydiaNN replied to bell83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is interesting to read Bell's clarification of the original post and to see how few of us actually jumped to conclusions that the "problem" was more extreme that it was. Although I hear that...

    LydiaNN replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The reply you're quoting didn't say that public schools are socialist plots, so I'm not sure with whom you're agreeing, but that theory has a huge hole in it. Yes, American children place lower in...

    Accused of abandonement

    LydiaNN replied to bell83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the first place, one particular poster very clearly justified inflating this incident to the charge of "patient abandonment" to enable a write up that could facilitate them leaving the unit. Maybe...
