1. Veterans Affairs Hiring process

   whichone'spink replied to Tbmingo's topic in Government

   So, will President Trump's executive order putting a hiring freeze on federal government jobs affect hiring for VA positions?

2. Gov. Christie impose pain pill limit: 5 days for initial RX despite N.J. docs objections

   whichone'spink replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Headlines

   10 days might have been better, but we need more of this legislation in other states as well. Especially the states with more prescription drug abuse.

3. $29/hr--why am I still in this job!?

   whichone'spink replied to ndnursepract's topic in NP

   I make more than that as a RN, in the Upper Midwest.

4. What do you do at your workplace to still feel the spirit of Christmas?

   whichone'spink replied to NurseEnvision's topic in Nursing

   I have a Santa hat, and will buy some Christmas socks to wear either on the 24th or 25th. I've got to ask my supervisor to bring out the unit Christmas decorations so I can work on it this weekend.

5. racist patients

   whichone'spink replied to Rn 1979's topic in Relations

   I'm kind of expecting more blatant racism, as a minority. Certain people feel emboldened by our new president-elect, and will now say and do things they didn't feel safe to carry out before. Expecting it from patients is one thing. What will surpr...

6. My professor told us NPs have no future...

   whichone'spink replied to anilechim's topic in NP Students

   He has a point. Just like there is a glut of RNs, there will be a glut of NPs which will depress wages and ruin the credibility of NPs. I think you should get a degree in something else, and then go for PA. If being an independent provider is what...

7. Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

   whichone'spink replied to Amethya's topic in School

   I knew by 5 years old Santa wasn't real. My parents never confirmed nor denied his existence. I guess I worked it out by myself. By 8 years old, kids should know Santa is just a construct.

8. Are nurses allowed to turn in wanted criminals?

   whichone'spink replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing

   That is a different case altogether. If I saw them commit murder, then I would alert authorities. Anyone who admits to doing something while they are under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is bound to create a legal sticky situation for me. ...

9. Canadian Immigration & Nursing

   whichone'spink replied to o.poole's topic in Immigration

   Well, for certain groups, it may not be a bad idea to consider getting out. Muslims, who may be forced to register like sex offenders. Gays and lesbians, who will definitely have their marriage licenses voided. Any public figure who has openly opp...

10. Are nurses allowed to turn in wanted criminals?

    whichone'spink replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing

    Recently in my city, it came out that a suspected murderer now on trial was seen in the ER I used to work in. The nurse that cared for him later reported to the police that the patient told her he killed someone. At the time it was also found he wa...

11. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    whichone'spink replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nursing

    As far as insurance, there might be some changes to the ACA. I do hope some things are kept, such as letting young adults stay on their parents' insurance until 26, disallowing denial of insurance for those with pre-existing conditions, and federal ...

12. Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    whichone'spink replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing

    At least he's still in touch with people in the heartland, like the people in his home town of Flint. The Democratic party was sorely out of touch, and all of us, including the people who voted for him, will pay for it. Might as well stick a fork i...

13. Does the PVT Work for Elections????

    whichone'spink replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing

    I don't think there will be a re-take in 4 years. All the things conspiracy theorists accused Obama of wanting to do, such as implementing martial law and cancelling the election in 2012 and this year, will be carried out by their man. I am afraid...

    whichone'spink replied to LadyFree28's topic in Nursing

    Speaking of ovarian torsion, this week I learnt even 7 year old girls can have ovarian torsion. It didn't take long to un-twist it though. But this poor girl will have to worry about this for the rest of her life. Every period she will have to thi...

15. Not paying license renewal fees on time (random thoughts)

    whichone'spink replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing

    Eek! How does one let it go that far? I hate nursing and wish I could do something else, but this is all I have to earn so I pay the renewal fee. I did let my CO license expire, and only recently renewed it. I also started the application process f...
