  1. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    ABsolutely!
  2. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    I know...it IS about the kids ...and that is why they can continue to breed and breed...you can't stop helping the children who are being made to pay "for the sins of the father"(literally in this...
  3. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    Allow yourself to NOT be a nurse, as difficult as that may be, unless he asks your opinion as a nurse. Just be his "Daddy's Girl" and be there for him in the way he needs you. Take your cues from...
  4. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    I just meant in terms of the family "lifestyle" causative factors, and how we are limited in what we can do for the families affected by this, within the constraints of their belief systems... Yes, it...
  5. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    Amish have a lot of inbreeding, leading to congenital
  6. Would you marry your prison pen pal?

    Been there, done that! You can only hope they wake up and smell the roses. People in the health care field are indeed at risk for unhealthy relationships as they are "hooked on helping people"....
  7. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    That is some of the problems one see in the rural areas where the Amish live, except, that they "take care of their own" as far as food clothing, and shelter. You rarely see them in the health...
  8. Parents that don't treat fever

    Thanks for the article! I rarely gave my children Tylenol, and do not rush to give it to my adult pts in the hospital. Our bodies were designed magnificently, and we, in a "hurry and fix it culture"...
  9. Therapeutic Communication

    That is the beauty of it. It gives them the opening some people need to fully explain themselves. It allows them to talk more, and makes you listen more. It is
  10. Would you marry your prison pen pal?

    Let's just say, for whatever reason, this pt had to tell me details I really didn't need to know...BUT! It was too fascinating to tell her to stop. She was way older. She married her...
  11. Would you marry your prison pen pal?

    Many years ago...I worked with an LPN who I really admired. She took great care of her only child with severe MR. She had her hands full. Of course FOB nowhere around. She began a "relationship"...
  12. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    First, I am not saying I condone a 14yr old getting married. There are mature adults who do practice a form of polygamy under the radar. It is not always a bad thing. Some women have been able...
  13. Mature Nurses over 50

    50 yrs young. Working Med/Surg/Ortho/tele, floating in two hospitals. Working 32 hours a week and babysitting a toddler and infant 30 hrs a week. As my mother say..."Use it or lose it!" We had a...
  14. This is sick

    I have seen the benefits esp. on Respiratory, where those who came off the vent, because they could not live without it, were given the Morphine drip to alleviate their anxiety and difficulty...
  15. We had a young man who went to HR about the discrimination of his manager who told him he could not wear makeup. HR told manager that since she allows the women to wear it, she must allow the men the...
  16. Union

    I believe the OP was asking about the pros and cons of unions. I was expressing what the experience was in my area. If, I am able to get what I want without having to pay union dues, where is the...
  17. Union

    But, my friend, I have indeed waited until I graduated....30 years! My statements are based on experience, not , formal eduacation. I never have seen the advantage of an "us vs. them
  18. Union

    Where I live, before our merger, the one hospital was union, the other was not. The other hospital let the LPNS go, the union was unable to prevent it. The two hospitals merged, the union couldn't...
  19. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    I am curious, however, what are the ethics involved, on either side, as far as lawyers writing books about their cases? Do any of our "legal experts" know anything about this? I know lawyers have...
  20. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Hopefully, the autopsy will answer at least some of the questions. My guess is...it will NEVER be settled. People still dispute the ending of Marilyn Monroe's life...who really killed Kennedy...did...
  21. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    As with Karen Quindlen. I was fresh out of nursing school..Some of my friends worked in ICU. EVERYONE was kept on the vent, no matter how old, even 93 yr olds. That was the initial fallout, which we...
  22. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    WHOA! Where is the evidence that he abused her to the point of brain
  23. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    OK, so it wasn't the parents writing the book...it was their lawyer!
  24. 1950s nursing

    I was a Candystriper in the 60's. I remember feeding my first ancient pt who moaned the whole time, while I PRAYED she wouldn't die while I was feeding
  25. 1950s nursing

    Don't forget mixing your own IV meds! I HATED THAT! Pain shots...no IV pain
