I simply stated a fact that many times women give men the wrong impression. I personally know of at least three married women who wear less than nothing underneath their scrubs and when they bend over, everyone around them recieves an education. I have had female nurses slightly but ever so evidently pat me on the butt. I think many women want to create a "tease"atmosphere where they control how far it goes. And then when the heat gets hot, they want to stop. I am totally against what these doctors did to the OP. But I am also tired of the double standards that many women play these days. Many women do it as a power play. Anything to remove topp dog to get closer to their goal. Sexual harassment is horrific and I am clearly stating that women and men need to be aware fo their own actions before they start crying a bunch of BS.

Drama queens. They lurk in every corner. Waiting to make your life a living hell. Always b-----ing about something. Always stirring up sh--. And those crocodile tears come flowing if something doesn't go her/his way. You know who you are. Come out and be set free. Drama queens no more. Peace out!

I believe a nurse should wwear color-coded uniforms to distinguish RN, LPN, CNA, MD. Hell, you never know these days. Especially in ER.

Either you are a real hottie that any man finds irresistable or you may have that unconciously flirting thing going on giving men the impression that you are interested. Let your conversation be work related only and cut out the small talk with those pervs and 90% of this should be eliminated.

This is very hard to put into words without trying to offend anyone in particular. For those patients that have been confined to their bed/room for long periods of time, is there enough privacy given to them where they can 'release' their tensions in the form of masturbation? Are spouses/partners allowed to be intimate with the patient? I know this is a touchy subject, no pun intended. But sexuality is part of recovery as there is proven facts of the benefits of an orgasm. Please note, this thread is not intended to vulgarize this subject. Seriously. What is your opinion, if any, on this matter?

I am a proud vegetarian of 8 years. Veggies rock!

Were you the one that ran over the manager the other week?

Great! At least there are a few educated people still left. The reason a vegetarian lifehood doesn't work for some people is because they still eat high carb foods and sugar laden sweets. To have complete victory one must take COMPLETE control. Eliminating Meat and dairy along with sweets and refined foods is the correct way to eat. Isn't it odd that God put Adam and Eve within the Garden of Eden and provided them with fruit and veggies as the first 'biblically' recorded death of an animal was after they 'sinned'. And that was when God killed the animal for clothing, not food. But for those who are atheist, here is another tool of reference for you.http://www.vivavegie.org/vvi/pdf/101.2001.pdf

Definately go for the BSN. My instructor told me that in the upcoming years BSN will matter the most. As many industries are cutting back and eliminating altogether, there will be a surge of countless students hit the nursing market because of the opportunities that continue to exist. For those who go on to get their BSN or MSN will be glad they did. Flexibility is worth everything. Who do you think an administration would cut back on first? ADN? BSN? Think about it. While your in the drudgery of schooling, you might as well nail down 4-5 more semesters.

Bad practice! Cramming will only make it worse. Learn as you go. You should be relaxing and having fun the night before any exam. I always go to a late movie and then eat at a late night restaurant the eve of test day. I figure if I don't know the material by then, I don't deserve to pass. Not flaming you.

As a nurse, do you find time to have fun outside of work? Or is it all you can do to find 'extra' time to have a little R&R? Do you get called in on time off? What about taking a vaction? Does nursing end up to become a boring hum drum job after you have 'mastered' the trade? Do you get tired of the same co-workers and the same BS policies, etc...? What would your ideal job be?

A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there. ''But how will I let you know the baby is born?'' she asked. He replied, ''Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of expenses.'' Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy. Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained, ''Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means.'' The doctor said, ''Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you.'' Later that evening, the doctor came home, read the postcard, fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest. So the wife picked up the card and read, ''Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without.'''

How did my OP go from bottlenecking ER to Iraq? I think if we focus on one problem at a time, perhaps a solution shall follow. Maybe I am hoping too much.

If you have ever read Echo Heron's book, she talks about a room that the window keeps opening. She even locked it and literally watched the window unlock and go up by itself. For those who believe in the afterlife, the explanation could be as easy as spiritual manifestation. People do die in hospitals. Death=spiritual manifestations.

I am still a student and I have to ask this question. Would you truly say you are happy when you go to work or do you dread going in? Are you a clockwatcher? Do you think if you had it to do all over again you wouldve went another route? Have any of you thought it so bad that you were really feeling REALLY low? I do know that doctors have the highest rate of suicide among all professions. Where do nurses rank?
