  4. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    You know, I think I know why some people are disagreeing. I know how to make everyone see things clearly. We have not seen what is going on. You should post pics, in random positions, with varying cut...

  7. Socialized Medicine....WHAT IF?

    Oh yes, because America was made great by taxing someone else and taking their money (whether we think they deserve it or not) and using it for our own
  8. Cheating in nursing school?

    I work hard in school. If I knew of a classmate cheating I would turn them in. I know of one girl who will soon graduate, and does not deserve to. Sadly, I had no evidence of it, so she escapes, and I...
  9. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    The need is NOT too great for this. The only shortage is of nurses willing to work at the current pay and under the current conditions. Improve conditions and raise the pay and I would wager we would...
  10. Manogram

    Just so nobody gets the wrong impression, I chuckled at the pic, and was just playing, hence the smiley, and joke about not killing me. Was trying to add humor to humor. I hope it brought a few extra...

  14. CRNA wonderer

    Work in the ICU while attending BSN school, then you have the experience, and the degree at once. I think I have heard CRNA school runs something like 30k a year. AND you don't work during school,...
  15. 3 nurses laid off

    I have been laid off before, so I can say I understand how you feel. Don't let it get you down, make a plan, and run with it. As long as you don't let your mind be consumed by fear you are fine. A...
  16. Insurance Practices: Delay, Diminish, Deny, & Blame

    You made the point that police and firemen do their job regardless of whether or not you have paid them. My point with the ER was that it is the same way. I am glad you acknowledge the truth that even...

  19. Should I do a psych rotation?

    We had to do it. At first, I did not want to go. However, having been there, and not been sure at first... My advice is go. If your psych instructor is worth anything you will learn a lot. I kind of...
  20. :lol_hitti You mean anyone even follow the dress code? At my facility the dress code is so ignored, when I asked at hiring the manager just giggled. The idea of anyone following, let alone knowing who...
  21. Insurance Practices: Delay, Diminish, Deny, & Blame

    I wonder what service will become a human right next. A more accurate statement would be your core nursing values. Mine have a strong belief in self-reliance, and

    Well, I guess the lesson I just learned was that liability is everywhere. Thanks all, I really had not ever considered that something as simple as a courtesy BP would be an
  23. Can you trust your co-workers??

    AFAIK, the nurses on my floor are pretty upstanding. I know some do not like each other, but when it concerns me, I haven't felt any knives in the back. I will note this does not hold true on other...
