  1. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "In the end this discussion is futile because religious zealots only wish to impose their dogma on all because they know best and of course they have decided they are only implementation ( their...

  2. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1800s: "I personally believe slavery is wrong, and I would never own a slave myself, but people in the south are going to own slaves anyway so it should be kept legal. That would inhibit the...

  3. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my post I referred to nurses or doctors choosing to give lethal doses to "end suffering". You said "what's wrong with ending someone's suffering?" - you made direct reference to my post, which was...

  4. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You have no idea what may be happening inside a patient's head. Yes, they are near death. And yes, it is humane to offer them comfort measures. But what if they're praying for past transgressions...

  5. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That is called EUTHANASIA, and it is still (thank God) illegal in this country. I pray to God you are not a hospice nurse, or in any position to make this call for another human being. You have NO...

  6. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nicurn, you aren't expounding on my logic in the least. You are making a totally baseless assumption. PMFB, I understand abortions are PERFORMED whether legal or not, but this does not even begin to...

  7. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    NO, I'm not implying anything of the sort. There is absolutely ZERO correlation between your analogy and mine. Whatsoever. The fact you can't see that leads me to believe this is a futile exchange...

  8. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It makes PERFECT sense if you take the blinders off of your eyes. You are seeing it only from the mother's perspective - what the mother wants. What about the innocent, unborn child's perspective?...

  9. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Those of you who say you aren't "pro-abortion" but also don't want to take the choice from another woman, let me ask you a simple question. If you were pregnant and someone attacked you, hurting you...

  10. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    CFitzRN replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please tell me what this is, if not an outright lie. I find it unbelievably presumptuous, OP, that you would automatically assume that every nurse believes the way that you do. I pray that Planned...

  11. Daylight Savings & Documentation

    CFitzRN replied to KidsMakeMeSmile's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in AZ. When I moved to the NE and came to my first "fall back" I was like "whaaa??". It makes little sense to me. It seems an antiquated notion that should be

  12. This just gripes the crud out of me...

    CFitzRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thoughts? My thoughts are that there are tons of these deadbeats who are doing everything they can (many successfully) to "cheat the system" and many doctors and other healthcare workers who don't...

  14. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    CFitzRN replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    This was but one of the many reasons I found hospital nursing incredibly undesirable. I started off working L&D and having few breaks, including no bathroom breaks at times. Someone in this...

  15. I got in to nursing school! Now overwhelmed with stress

    CFitzRN replied to such_sweet_sorrow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry. If the knuckleheads camping out on Wall Street get their way, you may not have to pay off your student loans. :::eye

  16. Agencies that have a good reputation

    CFitzRN replied to pat8585's topic in Home Health

    I work for Premier Home Health Care Services, Inc. and I can tell you that we do -everything- by the book and are always as compliant as humanly possible. We have branches in the Northeast, OH, NC,...

  17. dover business college fails whole class

    CFitzRN replied to Kimberly M's topic in General Nursing

    This made me laugh because I am a "test/book smart, clinically dumb" type of person too. "...surprised I could figure out which end to cath..." hahaha! I know what you mean... Glad I'm not alone....

    CFitzRN replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me once, at about age 12. It was terrifying. Check out this link:

    Feeling entitled is an epidemic in our society today. It is crippling us and will only get

  20. The worst code you've seen?

    CFitzRN replied to jesshopper12's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, my brother-in-law, 48 years old, went down very suddenly with an AAA a year and a half ago at his desk at work. The EMTs who came were doing compressions all the way to the hospital. They had no...

    I absolutely hated working in the hospital, but if there were a Catholic hospital anywhere near me, I'd be excited to work

  24. "Keep Your Mobility for a Lifetime"

    CFitzRN replied to CFitzRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much everyone. These are excellent ideas and resources. I needed a nice nudge to get me going in the right direction and this has helped immensely!

  25. "Keep Your Mobility for a Lifetime"

    CFitzRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    First off, let me be clear that I am NOT asking for anyone to do my work for me. Okay, now that that's clear... I am doing my first big presentation as a Clinical Supervisor for a home health...
