    guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what bothers you more, that I am a male or that I am a nurse? A little unsolicited advice for you, step back, breathe, and self-reflect. I don't believe you realize that your online persona...

  9. What's to complain about?

    guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

    You are rather arrogant in that you assume your worldview of nursing should trump all others. You dismiss anything outside that as whining and complaining. Rather simplistic in your thought process...

    Did eight years in the military, and yes, for me, it was easier. I wasn't deployed to a war zone and most people in the military aren't. Most do not lose limbs and most do not die. However, most good...

    Pick up some extra shifts and some 8 hour PRN work for that retirement savings. You'll be fine. Job hopping is my middle name and you would not believe how many nursing jobs I've had in my first three...

  15. What's to complain about?

    guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

    To call what I wrote in my OP whining is a bit of a stretch. The sprinkler installer was used as an illustration and attempt to compare what we do as nurses vs what they do. Again, unfortunately, what...

    Brandon, I'm not taking anything away from what he does and don't believe that he should necessarily make less than nurses. It is meant to be an illustration on how much value society and employers...

    guest449786 replied to guest449786's topic in General Nursing

    A very predictable and not too surprising response to the idea of change. I may not be reading your comment correctly in assuming that you're being sarcastic. Agreement is not the normal response I...

  20. RN never feels guilty when calling out

    guest449786 replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What's to feel guilty about? It can be very subjective, much like pain, but if you're legitimately sick then there's nothing to feel guilty about. Unless you intentionally got yourself sick just to...
