    Have you ever given a ride to and from work for your colleagues?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I say thank you very much for asking, JKL, as human behavior has been my life-long interest and study. The quoted paragraph echoes Drs. Pieper's concept of "Addicted to Unhappiness", which also...

    Have you ever given a ride to and from work for your colleagues?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Oh JKL, you know the answer to your own question, don't play coy with us. Unless we are masochistically self-deprecating, we are the protagonist in our own life's story. We are also the casting...

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Good advice, especially in the days of shoe brakes where we were to keep a full car's length away from the car in head of us for every 10 mph of speed. When I first heard of disc brakes around 1973,...

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Peoples' behaviors are like algebraic variables, in that there are unknowns unless we use a formula like the predisposed genetic template. Basically, the concept of the predisposed genetic...

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for your kind words, RNNPICU. Such reinforcement not only feels good, but it prevents me from suffering cognitive dissonance. I believe I addressed your insightful point:...

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is another thread where we criticize others' actions, which is entertainingly satisfying. Of course, some are into it to divert their attention from their own primal pool of pain. Others are into...

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    Davey Do replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I read your interesting post earlier, SilverBells, sat and thought of several instances where coworkers acted imprudently, but could not come up with one example where I had to give direction to a...

    Thank you, Hoosier. Having my birthday on Groundhog's Day has been something of a running joke all my life. The first one was from my Mom about the day I was born, who said, and I quote: "The...

    I neglected to thank you for putting my name in lights @Hoosier_RN. As my older brother Eddy said while penning his obit shortly before his death, "Everybody likes to see their name in the papers"....

    Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Richard Bach wrote something along the lines of, "We teach best what we most need to learn". On another subject, if a premise is presented and evidence to the contrary discounts it, the premise...

    My medical nurse wife Belinda works in IMU and does, as I'm sure many nurses on here do, an amazing job in a high stress situation. I never tire of hearing her stories when she comes home from a...

    Okay to wear traditional nurse uniform to work?

    Davey Do replied to Elliebeanlovesmisterbubbles's topic in General Nursing

    Several years ago, the psych director at Wrongway decreed that the adult patients would have their street clothes kept in storage and would wear mauve-colored hospital-furnished scrubs. That...

    Okay to wear traditional nurse uniform to work?

    Davey Do replied to Elliebeanlovesmisterbubbles's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the days when medical professionals wore white, there was something of a status symbol to it. I remember, as an adolescent, seeing a photograph taken in the early '50's of my high school...

    Thank you for the empathy and for sharing that news with me, @Hoosier_RN. Dr. Johnny Fever will live on in our hearts, and of course, in reruns. It's so neat you remember for years here on...

    Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    However, there are those who do it for the cash and all the while are good nurses. I've known some who have the empathy of a reptile yet are techy and provide quality care to those they serve....

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    When I was actively working as a nurse, DK, I did it for both reasons and it was a paramount reason that I became a nurse and stayed in the nursing field. I wanted to make money, but also wanted...

    Okay to wear traditional nurse uniform to work?

    Davey Do replied to Elliebeanlovesmisterbubbles's topic in General Nursing

    Ironically, the only classmate from my 1983 LPN program that I've run into was the other male in the class. He got his RN immediately thereafter and was an OR supervisor for a time when I worked at...

    Okay to wear traditional nurse uniform to work?

    Davey Do replied to Elliebeanlovesmisterbubbles's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, cool Nutmegge! I would sometimes wear my LPN pin, also gotten in 1983, on my white cotton baseball cap. Since most of the nurses back then wore caps, I thought I'd come up with my own...
