  1. Plastic surgery etc. to defy age

    Jo Dirt replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    My teeth would have caused a lot of problems without braces. It wasn't an issue of vanity at

  2. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Um...gee whiz, I don't know what to say except...you sound like an atheist, just switch the words

  3. Woo Hoo! Got accepted.

    Jo Dirt replied to 81FSUseminole's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Tennessee Technological University FNP program here, I'm hoping to take Advanced Nursing Research this summer so I can get it behind me. I want to start full-time this fall. Not as noteworthy as Duke...

  4. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It just seems to me that it is a double standard for people to say they do not discriminate on the basis of "religion" nor do they endorse any one particular religion (the employee handbook clearly...

  5. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Um, nooo, I don't think I'm so important in their lives they would be "devastated" to learn I don't think like them. Apparently, you don't understand small town politics. And another thing, this has...

  6. An Atheist Outnumbered by Christians at Work (an ethical dilemma)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I was standing out on the porch of the NH, watching for funnel clouds,and the woman who delivers diapers to the nursing home was standing out there and I heard her telling the MDS...

  7. Do you have to take Nursing Research and Theory Classes?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a nuts and bolts person and don't have a lot of patience with nursing theory classes. I hate nursing research, too. I like pharmacology and physiology and classes I feel are useful. I've been...

  8. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am just wondering because I was reading this article in Reader's Digest about how a lot of people are switching over to using NPs for their care. The article quoted a patient saying, "my NP is my...

  9. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you're a stalker and harrasser and you're going to

  10. Please help me convince my wife that she needs to return to nursing school...

    Jo Dirt replied to NIGHTWOLF87's topic in General Nursing

    There has to be something else she isn't telling you. If she doesn't want to go back or feels she can't you shouldn't stress her out by keeping on at her. Those convinced against their will are of...

  11. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You know what a nurse told me today? She happened to be there on the day that creep and I got into it and she said he had come to her hall talking about going and doing something about "that new...

  12. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So, can NPs call themselves

  13. Is a NP also a " Physician?"

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Showing respect or attempting to humor NPs with a token title? It goes to show how you can't necessarily take everything you read to heart, just because it is a large publication. I see the definition...

  14. Feeling patronized by "older" nurses

    Jo Dirt replied to Tortoiseshell's topic in General Nursing

    Some people are just not considerate to anyone, regardless of age. By the same token, when you get to be an "older" nurse, you may start to understand what might make them kind of crabby and impatient...

  15. Terminated.....stressed and relieved at the same time.

    Jo Dirt replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    There is too much opportunity for fraudulent activity in the home care business. You messed up big time but you haven't done anything a lot of other people in the business aren't doing. When I worked...

  16. Is it worth a shot? (getting my job back)

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I can't sleep from being upset about an incident that happened at my nursing home job and my mind is racing...anyway, I was supposed to take a job out of state at a hospital but after much...

  17. Is it worth a shot? (getting my job back)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Afraid not. I think you should heed your own advice and step back to re-read the "good" advice from some of the people here. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is being helpful and...

  18. How difficult is FNP school?

    Jo Dirt posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been told how much easier FNP school is than CRNA school. SRNAs say they have their noses to the grindstone all but the 3-4 hours of sleep they get each night, and they have some of the...

  19. Is it worth a shot? (getting my job back)

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    If you can't tell the difference between advice given in good faith and snarky remarks attacking another person's integrity then I don't imagine there are any amount of words that could get you to see...

  20. Is it worth going to school to be an LPN?

    Jo Dirt replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    It is NOT a waste of time to become an LPN! You will find a job as easily as an RN. Another thing, it is great if you want to become an RN but you will likely need to work while you are in school and...

  21. Youngest NP?

    Jo Dirt replied to tfleuter's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I heard of one 27. If someone has his/her business together it wouldn't be unheard of. I didn't start into nursing until age 22 and being in a rural area without access to all the opportunities that...

  22. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say that. You make it sound like I was verifying what he told me. According to *him* the family was supportive of his actions. What else would a person say when they're been caught doing...

  23. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you know, it fit into the situation we were talking about (mentioned in an above post.) I didn't go into details, I just mentioned how a personal experience may have fueled the anger and violent...

  24. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    This is how I tend to think, too, but like many who have been through a traumatic experience, there is often confusion about what "really" happened and a lot of self-doubt. I'm thinking the...

  25. Confrontation with a Visitor

    Jo Dirt replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    And you are either completely missing the point (or perhaps deliberately missing the point) of how some things in life illicit such strong emotions "diplomacy" is the last thing on that person's mind....
