    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    i think tommy perkins's point here was the no reply to his last question. i'll bet ya money he never gets one. :rotfl: love and peace,

  3. It seems asif this year my life has been flushed down the toilet.

    loerith replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly detest people like you describe. {the bullies} But let me share some thoughts with you. 1) there are some evil people in this world Yup...I mean evil. They enjoy causing other people pain...

  4. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    loerith replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO formal education has little to nothing to do with the competence of a nurse or the quality of care a patient receives. I have worked with experienced diploma LPNs who are better nurses than many...

  5. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Actually what loerith {me} said was this: the emphasis is on finding a Higher Power not just stopping drinking. If you have been to more than 3 or 4 AA meetings you should know this. Alcohol is only...

  6. I wish I'd have known....B4 nursing school

    loerith replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    ...that a lot of nurses are back-stabbing, back-biting rats who have no clue as to how wonderful a field nursing could be if we just stuck together. ...that there are many incompetent doctors who also...

  7. Duragesic patch + recovering nurse with chronic pain = ???

    loerith posted a topic in General Nursing

    The title really kinda says it all. I have been clean and sober for 2 years and have a long history of chemical dependency. Fortunately, most all of this history was pre-nursing. I did have a relapse...

  8. Duragesic patch + recovering nurse with chronic pain = ???

    loerith replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

    I really apreciate everyone's input. I am not going back to work. Not until I get a lot more clarification on some of these issues and even then...I doubt it. Seems to me the only safe bet is to: 1)...

  9. If you could work anywhere..

    loerith replied to GottaBeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    i went straight from nursing school to a CICU and have never looked back. You dont have to buy the concept that a lot of folks are selling; namely, that you need 1 year in med surg first..blah, blah,...

  10. If you could work anywhere..

    loerith replied to GottaBeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    WTG on the nursing career! You are starting a real adventure! As a new nurse I would go to the largest. most modern, teaching facility I could find and would try immediately to get into a critical...

  11. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

  12. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Actually the original poster is correct, Although AA claims to be non-religious; it is indeed religious. Specifically,it includes as part of it's basic text quotations from the Bible and a prayer is...

  13. Duragesic patch + recovering nurse with chronic pain = ???

    loerith replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone sooooooooo much for your time and help. I am leaning more and more towards Moia's slant on things here. To be blunt, I dont trust the reaction I am going to get if I even mention the...

  14. Duragesic patch + recovering nurse with chronic pain = ???

    loerith replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

    1) I do not do direct patient care {clerical/bed control/paperwork} 2) I am very close for opting for #3 As you said I need to find out what my hospital policy is. But surely they make a distinction...

  15. failed nclex-rn

    loerith replied to nurseguy74's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that they licence people based on that mutiple choice test is ...well....scary. You could be the best potential nurse in the world and fail it. Regards,

  16. Personnal lives or reckless?

    loerith replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm...teeituptom.....uhhhhhhhh Isnt golf the only sport that is: 1) more stressful than nursing 2) you get worse rather than better with time? Peace and Love,

  17. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    loerith replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Been an ICU nurse for years. OR was a nightmare. The docs there treat the nurses worse than any area I have ever worked in. There are some very competent, friendly. courteous doctors. But the...

  18. How long do you think this nursing shortage will last?

    loerith replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is going to get worse before it gets better. The reason I say that is the generation {"baby boomers"} are in a few years going to become the patients and not the caregivers. Also, to be...
