    Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    OCNRN63 replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No no one is giving you an "attitude." If you interpret constructive criticism as "attitude," you're going to have a tough row to hoe in your nursing career. I learned over the years to listen to...

    "Are you a Christian?"

    OCNRN63 replied to anon456's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I just tell people I hope they enjoy their time with their friends/family. It would not be appropriate to wish them a "Merry Christmas" since we don't celebrate that

    Unconventional hair colors

    OCNRN63 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    You could always try having just one highlight of light blue/pink/purple, rather than coloring your hair 100%. Subtle, but just enough to let you feel like you're different. I'm really not one for...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    OCNRN63 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Which to me is wrong, wrong, wrong. If the patient has made it clear that s/he doesn't want to be a donor, then that's that. It's really none of their business if that patient has died/is

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    OCNRN63 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    That is disgusting. They sound like vultures, trying to scavenge any last scrap from a body. And I'm with you...I don't like the idea of browbeating grief-stricken

    I've never seen them badger a family, but I was harassed a few times by the reps. of our organ procurement agency. "They said no? Are you sure they understood what organ donation meant? Are you...

    Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    OCNRN63 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing
