  1. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

    roeth replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have never been asked such a question by any of my doctors. When I go in for one of those, my doctor only asks me about men (Which technically assumes I'm heterosexual. But what if I wasn't?)...

  2. Speaking foreign languages

    roeth replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of indivduals who speak Spanish. Sometimes we'll be sitting together in the cafeteria and they'll break out in Spanish while I'm the only one sitting there who does not fully...

  3. Religion

    roeth replied to x4livin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I agree with turning the conversation back to the patient. It may be difficult, but we all need to respect other people's beliefs or lack of even if they are obnoxious about it. One person like this...

  4. "That's where they keep big needles to stick bad little boys."

    roeth replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, really? :grn: Yeah, I definitely don't like it when parents do this. I don't have any children, but many of my friends have kids. A good friend of mine recently told her 3 year old son (I was not...

  5. Funny things patients say !

    roeth replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm wondering how watching the disney channel equals lower education? I mean, I suppose I can see your point in it being child-like, but people of all ages/backgrounds still watch the disney channel....

  6. Why did you pick your username?

    roeth replied to made's topic in General Nursing

    Roeth - well, it's the first 5 letters of the quarterback's name to my favorite football team. Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Do I love the guy outside of football? Heck no, but I sure...

  7. Do you bag your bodies naked?

    roeth replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started out by volunteering in the intensive care unit, one of the techs asked if I wanted to help him prepare a body to be bagged. I agreed. We put a brief on him, left the original gown...

  9. Any risks of volunteering?

    roeth replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    While I'm not a nurse, I do volunteer with hospice in my area. It's a wonderful idea and great experience! Sometimes I get calls to sit with a dying individual while his or her family takes a break....

  10. Worried

    roeth replied to forall's topic in General Students

    I agree with mangopeach - try finding out what kind of learner you are. In many of my courses, the professors use only one approach by writing on the board/lecturing through a power point or have us...

  11. My patient said WHAT ?!

    roeth replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    When I was training to become a CNA, I was warned about a certain Mr. X in his 90s who loved the ladies. Sure enough, he was the first person I was assigned to and he wasted no time telling me to come...

  12. CNA's want to share salary info?

    roeth replied to kimmy436's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked in a home for 6 developmentally disabled adults for several months (in San Diego area) and started at $10/hr. It went up to 11/hr after 2 weeks of "shadowing"...no benefits and depended on...
