    Evolution and Nursing

    GrumpyRN replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I'm sorry but no! You do not get to interpret the bible the way that fits your particular belief. The bible is either the word of god or it is a bronze age fairy story. You do not get to say...

    Evolution and Nursing

    GrumpyRN replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Do you really think I don't understand the meaning of the word........? Especially considering I corrected the spelling. That is a bit offensive don't you think? I understood the poster thought that I...

    GrumpyRN replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    What are you talking about "my prerogative" (note spelling)? I asked a question. I notice you conveniently ignored that I had written this - "Whether one believes in evolution or Creation, Nursing...

    Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    GrumpyRN replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you can't explain it's basics to your patients, how do you explain it to yourselves? Why, if no-one understands it, are positions so polarised? From the UK it seems to be a good thing but I...

    Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    GrumpyRN replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    GrumpyRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    OOOOPS..........!! Sorry folks, it was not my intent to start a discussion on race. My original thinking when I stated 'north south divide' was actually about the policies. Is it a bit more liberal in...

    Is it covered under Obamacare? - Cartoon Contest Winner

    GrumpyRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    In our area (in Scotland) we get a lot of American students and tourists, so inevitably they will have accidents and attend our ED. As part of my welcoming speech to try to break the ice and make them...

    Losing my religion

    GrumpyRN replied to jadelpn's topic in Spirituality, Religion
