  1. Real Life Advice, Please....

    loerith replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I would get down on my knees and pray earnestly. If you are not a Christian I would fix that first and foremost, then I would seek that "wisdom from above". People will frequently let you down,...

  2. Losing my Mind ~ Why Can't I Get a Job?

    loerith replied to DraggingCaboose's topic in General Nursing

    You just have to be willing to relocate. Peace,

  3. Co-worker in need of prayers

    loerith replied to butterflynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Praying now. Now the hard part......believing. Love and Peace,

  4. Just took NCLEX

    loerith replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    Do you remember if you got question 75 right or not? If you got it right, the odds that you passed are very, very high. The NCLEX has NOTHING to do with the number you get right or wrong but has...

  5. Need "unofficial" medical advice from fellow nurses.

    loerith posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have 2 badly herniated disks {L4-L5, L5-S1} with a hemangioma and some osteophytes. Quite painful to say the least. I am off work again now and have been for a month. I tried the Pain Management...

  6. Anyone here work night shift-past or present? Need advice pls.

    loerith replied to jetta1's topic in General Nursing

    I worked all midnight shift for 6 years. Do yourself a HUGE favor and get OFF those nights ASAP ! Peace,

  7. I'm so confused.......

    loerith replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

    Actually I do believe I work at 100% of my potential when on the medicine and perhaps less than that when in pain. I may have my neurologist and internal med doctor examine me while on the meds just...

  8. I'm so confused.......

    loerith posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have posted on here previously about this, but need a new updated advice database. :) I am a RN who works a clerical/supervisory job. I also have chronic pain and the only relief I get is from the...

  9. boyfriends biopsy

    loerith replied to EMTI19's topic in General Nursing

    When I read your original post I literally cried and started praying. There is a God. Oh yes.....there is! Love and Peace,

  10. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    loerith replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    agreed Chatsdale! Love and Peace,

  11. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    loerith replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Once upon a time...." {just kiddin } I was a Director of ICU. I had a nurse on night shift who refused to take an IABP patient even though she had had 2 inservices on baloon pumps. The next day when...

  12. My externship is not going well

    loerith replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Go ahead and wage war. See who wins. Right now, she has a bigger pencil than you do ....if ya get my drift. Love and Peace,

  13. My externship is not going well

    loerith replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Calling a meeting, talking about her to superiors will only put you in a questionable light. You said she was "well liked" on her unit. As you said "dont play that game." Go with the flow; smile and...

  14. Is becoming a Nurse hard?

    loerith replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely agree that being a nurse is much tuffer than studying to become one. And honestly , at this point in time there are many things I would trade for being a nurse. Love and Peace,...

  15. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    You need a lawyer...preferrably a nurse lawyer. And a good one. This might cost you some major money up front, but you may be able to recoup it all. Good luck and dont take this! And get a hair sample...

  16. Peer assistance programs should be dismantled.

    loerith posted a topic in General Nursing

    And instead, we need new laws governing the states Boards of Nursing so that they do not operate outside the law or constitution. That the burden of proof is on the accuser to PROVE beyond a...

  17. Down and Dirty In The Oklahoma State Board of Nursing

    loerith replied to sleepless in norman's topic in General Nursing

    I am soooooo sorry this all happened to you. BoN's are way overpowered. They operate outside the bounds of the law and the Constitution. I always thought that in America the burden of proof was on the...

  18. What would you have done?

    loerith replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    Switch bags??? WTF moment is right! My apologies I misunderstood and I do think you did the right thing. I still stand by my statement though that nurses in general are quite divisive.....and well...

  19. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    I personally believe in Jesus Christ, AA, and the Twelve Steps. I just happen to believe also in the Constitution. I thought freedom to choose a religion or no religion was part of that. Oh...

  20. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    I'll Amen, but thats not even close "...to the end of that!" Please define "religious" using the New Oxford English Dictionary. Do the same for the word "prayer". Go read page 85 of the AA Big Book...

  21. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    I notice you didnt mention "prayer" in your post. Care to explain how this is not religious? Or "turning ones will and life over to God as we understand him"? Ever read the the Third Step Prayer from...

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Tommy, What was the NC BoN's response to this presentation? Have you ever considered law school? :) Love and Peace,

  23. 12-Step Coercion

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    Two quotes for ya by Bill W. Co-Founder of AA: "But conversion, as broadly described by James, does seem to be our basic process; all other devices are but the foundation." The "James" referred to...

  24. What would you have done?

    loerith replied to aurora_borealis's topic in General Nursing

    I couldnt possibly agree more. "Nurses eat their young" is just a nice way of saying that many of them are backstabbing, tattling rats. Someday {though I doubt it} perhaps nurses will wake up and...

    loerith replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    tommy: this question....... "what is the official position of narcotics anonymous on the issue of government coercing people into narcotics anonymous? sincerely,tommy perkins" btw...did you get a...
