  1. If u were the patient,what type of nurse would you like to have?

    OC85 replied to ahmadfaiz1992's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that's how you feel, nothing wrong with that. Personally, even when I'm sick, I'm still more concerned with the amount of knowledge/skill a nurse has. It may have to do with the fact that this...

  2. If u were the patient,what type of nurse would you like to have?

    OC85 replied to ahmadfaiz1992's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, more than anything else, I would prefer a nurse that seems extremely knowledgeable and basically completely on top of things. It seems a lot of people on this site push "compassion" as the...

  3. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    OC85 replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another thing to note, is that when you have UHC, you largely cut private insurance companies out of the game. Remember that currently, a significant portion of "healthcare costs" does not go toward...

  4. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    I get the feeling its more a sign of someone who likes to provoke people for fun. From other posts, it seems like he can make well reasoned points when he wants to, so I wouldn't really call him...

  5. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Well, I suppose the real question is whether law enforcement is primarily concerned with ensuring that people follow the letter of the law, or working to enhance public safety. I would personally like...

  6. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Thats not what I'm saying at all. My point was simply that if someone wants to condemn someone else's action simply because that action is illegal, and not because they are causing actual safety...

  7. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Again, its important to make the distinction between being high during work or school, and smoking in the privacy of one's one home. A nurse who is impaired while working due to any substance [legal...

  9. Nurses on meds

    OC85 replied to Deevine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you may be mistaking medical background checks with criminal background checks. While all nurses will have to submit to a criminal background check,...

    .....I :redbeathe you. [seriously, you brought a smile to my face.

  11. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Thats an unfair, over-generalization meant solely to provoke people, and you know it. Also, no one here has even once insinuated that it is OK for a nurse to smoke pot before work. Every single person...

  12. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    As long as my nurse is sober during his/her shift, I personally dont care what happens during his/her off time. Also, I don't see how you were able to draw a connection between marijuana use and...

  13. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Which is really part of the problem. Most of the harm that marijuana causes people is entirely due to its illegal status. It really is sad how many taxpayer dollars are spent keeping these people...

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Actually, that is completely inaccurate. It was completely legal to prescribe marijuana until like 40 years ago. Marijuana is currently federally illegal due to the lobbying of certain groups that...

  15. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Oh, I'm aware of the technicalities of the law. I was simply posting an honest hypothetical question because I was curious as to how much of RutterMama's opposition to nurses using marijuana was do to...

  16. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    OC85 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That seems to happen often..... Janhetherington was responding to the assertion that those who enter nursing for the money, but lack caring and compassion, will soon leave nursing or their own accord....

  17. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    OC85 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Just because I choose to respect other people's motives and I don't take a self-righteous, holier-than-thou position doesn't mean that there's something wrong with me. I happen to have a strong...

  18. What kind of Nursing school drama in your school?

    OC85 replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Students

    Actually, one of my salon clients who is an RN gave me the following advice in regards to nursing school: Just try to to be really aloof and convince your classmates that you don't really speak...

  19. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    OC85 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that the way the world works sometimes, people gotta pay the bills... Anyway, thanks for clarifying, I thought you meant you would pray for me, that I would eventually like what I

  20. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    OC85 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Grow to like what? I was just saying that you misinterpreted what someone wrote, and I was simply phrasing her statement in different way. Could you please clarify that? I doesn't even make...

  21. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    [emphasis mine] Actually, I have a question for you. If the person lived in California, where medicinal marijuana is legal, had a valid prescription, and only smoked after work or on his off days,...

  23. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Thats a good point. The law isn't based on actual data about marijuana's danger to an individual or society, as no scientifically valid study has been able to prove that its worse for society than...

  24. Nursing student taking drugs

    OC85 replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    It depends one the situation. If they are smoking before or during clinicals, then I would probably say something, as this jeopardizes patient safety. I they're doing it after school, on their own...

    OC85 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    ....I :redbeathe you. Seriously, though, that was perfectly put. I really wish everyone who stubbornly clings to the idea of nursing as a calling, way up their on their "moral high ground", would read...
