  1. 38 too old for school?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to akanarn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not in my opinion. But I think a more important question is (& I know your kids are supportive) is that they only have 5 more years until they are out to college. That is such a short time and the...

  2. nursing a calling?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

    AMEN! But in that same view, I believe to be caring and compassionate you have to LIKE being a nurse because after 12-16 hrs and people yelling, upset, gripey, etc it is a prerequisite. This does not...

  3. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Was it wrong to berate the OP? Yes. Is it Hipaa? No. Is the facility rule superfluous in this case? FWIW I think so, but it's the rule now. If she had walked down to verify her id, it would have...

  4. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We should have more privileges, but I do agree the problem is with the facilities rule and not the OP/lab tech and they should NOT be given a hard time over the FACILITIES rule. I have read the HIPAA...

  5. Need some advice

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to shena25's topic in General Nursing

    Hey thanks everyone for keeping this a nice discussion and everyone just sticking to opinions. I just wanna raise kidlets myself but I know I am in the minority these

  6. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't the time (as someone stated above) you get to yourself when you are at your job and at school? I'm not trying to demean, just asking a question. See my post in "some advice needed" thread. I...

  7. Need some advice

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to shena25's topic in General Nursing

    It's not all about what *you* (as an adult person with choices) want. I'll agree to disagree. It's about the kids. What if you only saw your husband just on the weekend or he says okay I'm taking up a...

  8. How did you find out about allnurses?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to cnelle101's topic in General Nursing

    When first starting out, a student told me about the site. PS It's nice to have a *vent* ilator.(It's

  9. Need some advice

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to shena25's topic in General Nursing

    Just some advice, wait till your kids are older. They need you and nursing school is hard. They are only young once and not fair on the

  10. Md's Against Crna's?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think we need to do a little publicity ourselves as a profession [regarding the AMA ad thanking the doctor]. I see the same thing in practice. I do all the work, etc. and when the doctor comes in...

  11. Did Anyone Go To Nursing School While Raising Kids?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard as I see. Don't think it is fair to the kids, though. The kidlets are only young once. Most people in school spend time studying and if they aren't they are thinking about school=less kiddo...

  12. What is nursing school like?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to selulion's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHAHAH--Unfortunately so true in my case (about the weight). Ditto: the study group compassionate friends resources understand at times even your best friends will get on your nerves as you will...

  13. What is the complaint with nursing salaries?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Agghh. I had another degree as I found a lot of my classmates did also. I agree with most all the posts highlighting the liability, awesome responsibility, very physical work (not kidding), general...

  14. ICU - Should I stay or go?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to OahuRN's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry about your situation. Sounds like you have great goals and are a very intelligent and thoughtful person. If I was planning on leaving, I would express everything you have expressed here to...

  15. AIDS debate - Most Controversial Story You've Never Heard

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to JasmineTea's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Looks like the article was written in 2003. Maybe a (new) test has been

  16. Nursing Salary...

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to flowerpower's topic in General Nursing

    I was appalled in nursing school to hear all the talk of salary too and true a lot of new nurses are that way and just in it for the money. However, you truly have to work in the field to see how hard...

  17. How much did you make as a new grad?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    NOT ENOUGH !!! But that does not mean that you are in it for the money, I just want to be compensated for what I do. Generally the specialties and post graduate certifications make something more, BUT...

  18. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    I will admit I only read the first couple posts incl. the op's, however in the words of George Carlin (not a fan but friends had him on TV) we now say passed on instead of dead, seasoned citizen...

  19. How can you say you're not paid well?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    I had the opportunity to see a state's (forgot which one now) President of BNE and she said, "Nurses are the only people who when confrunted with the enemy circle the wagons and shoot each other." Ha,...

  20. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Haven't read through all posts but definitely I have met a lot of women but very few are ladies. I do agree it is a product of society and being educated does not make us gentil or mannered. I think...

  21. New overtime law "myths and facts" Yes, hourly RNs are affected

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As John Adams? said, "We must all hang together or we must assuredly hang seperately." Our facility has let several nurses go that were needing surgery, etc under the guise of can't perform their job...

  22. ER abuse was encouraged last night

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Snowy's topic in Emergency

    Go to the ER immediately. I too was hit (although by a commercial trucker-semi) and it was difficult to get them to pay, my ins pd and then they reimbursed me. Eventually, they paid for my bike (which...

  23. I'm giving my notice tomorrow

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Sadie04's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry. Will be praying for you. I would write down these things in your notice letter. Also I would talk about enjoying the things you did as in this post, people, etc. Give her a copy and one to...

  24. What can we do to improve working conditions in Nursing homes?

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, so true! As John Adams said, if we do not hang together we most assuredly will hang seperately. I have learned so much from these boards and get that LTC is not a place to work. How can you deal...

  25. Question on most comfortable shoes

    Nurse GOODNIGHT replied to RN123456789's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow!!So many good shoes. I like my new balance tennis shoes but unable to get them the "exact" colors required per dress code, so just plopped down $170+ for some z-coils (http://www.zcoils.com). I...
