    If we are disgusted, imagine how the patients who they touch feel. It needs to be addressed. We have a respiratory therapist who smokes every hour and reeks. She covers it up with perfume. It is...

  10. Last Day of Work(civilian work )

    midinphx replied to hopeful_army_NP's topic in Government, Military

    I suggest something silly and easy for the pushups. Everytime you go to the bathroom, make yourself stop and do 10 pushups (add on when you can). If you can't do on the ground pushup for sanitary...

    midinphx replied to BrownBoiRN's topic in Government, Military

    Yes. I left home for the Army at 18 against everyone's wishes. They are scared for you. They don't know what will happen. I have an 18 year old and now I know that fear for her. I didn't get it...

  14. Does where you work offer insurance policies?

    midinphx replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    I have always been offered medical insurance by the hospitals I've worked at. I have at times chosen to work "in lieu of" or pool. It worked out better for me to get a 30% differential and buy my...

  19. Where's my recruiter?

    midinphx replied to MunkiRN's topic in Government, Military

    I think that most recruiters in the medical specialty area cover a regional area. This means they travel more and are out of the office alot. I have my recruiter's cell phone number and that makes a...
