1. Facial coverings effective?

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

   If people who had coronavirus would turn neon pink the second they are infected, you might have a point. But people are contagious and shedding the virus when they speak or just breathe (not just...

2. Odd situation

   E Non Imus, RN replied to anonymous88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   This was my first thought, too. It is a strange situation, but I find it even stranger that people are making a point of the nurse's gender. In my mind, though, when I hear "male nurse", I wonder if...

3. Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

   E Non Imus, RN replied to caliotter3's topic in Nursing News

   That would be the case if the credit transferred to other schools. In most of the cases for these students, they have a partial education that is good for exactly nothing. Can you take the NCLEX...

4. "Bless Your Heart"

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I think you hit the nail on the head. Many religious people feel the need to announce their particular chosen deity alignment and they think it is a hip way to give people a non-subtle small clue...

5. "Bless Your Heart"

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   You are right, but here in the US, did you ever hear a non-Christian say it? To be clear, there is a non-zero statistical chance that every oxygen molecule in the room will spontaneously move to the...

6. About paying off student loans

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

   My wife is a horse trainer and a lifelong horsewoman. There is just something about them, isn't there? Physically, emotionally, and morally strong. I wish I had known about them earlier in

7. Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

   E Non Imus, RN replied to caliotter3's topic in Nursing News

   Maybe because the school agreed to train them and provide a degree? When I go into a restaurant and order a steak, if the chef lets me have two bites and then his lawyer comes and takes it away, I'm...

8. About paying off student loans

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, except they are now going after the parents of students who die to get out of their student loans. So, grieving parents who just lost someone loved to cancer or a drunk driver now have to come...

9. About paying off student loans

   E Non Imus, RN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

   The problem with this line of argument is that the cost of providing the education has also skyrocketed. Every school is expected to have the newest computers, test prep programs, simulation labs,...

10. About paying off student loans

    E Non Imus, RN replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I see it as a matter of planning and integrity. I am a second-career nurse who was still paying student loans from the first degree. I applied for scholarships and grants, but received almost none...

11. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    E Non Imus, RN replied to E Non Imus, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was trying to keep an open mind until the school board completed their investigation. The reports I read came from sources that would benefit from a slant to the story. But if the Christian Post...

12. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    E Non Imus, RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, I don't know any school nurses to ask about this occurrence, but I wanted the opinion of fellow nurses. We won't know the full details of what happened until after the investigation....

13. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    E Non Imus, RN replied to LuxCalidaNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't forget that at the end of the episode of Scrubs where everyone was using "murse", Dr. Reid was sitting in the lunchroom and surrounded by docs razzing her for dating a murse. Remember the last...
