Naw, ya don't tell them nothin' - you say "Back off with the religion stuff or I'll beat your brains in!!!!" Just kidding. But that's how I feel about the whole deal sometimes.

I'm a total non-believer in anything havnig to with religion and would never under any circumstances engage in any thing even remotely resembling prayer - nor would I, as a dying or dead patient, want anyone to pray over me in anyway - even if I have...

I hope I never have to do a PE - it kind of ruins one's sex life - don't you agree?:imbar

Best assignment I'm a first-year nursing student and am getting very excited about actually getting to apply my emerging craft some day. And I was wondering; from what I can tell so far there are dozens of excellent areas to specialize in and many ...

Can you have more-than-one policy for extra protection?

i have a bachelor's degree in business administration; an associate's degree in general studies; and an associate's degree in electronics. before nursing school i taught business at a cc (10 years) and was a business reporter for a newspaper (10 year...

Why are so many Democrats so hateful? I have nothing against the Democrat party, but why all the hate and name calling? Why can't you be respectful of everyone regardless of their party? Why is it that people like Julia Roberts come out and say she l...

I've read all of these posts and still don't know what the hell any of you are saying. Stop speaking in riddles and get to the point. What does this new law mean - does it mean nurses can be worked over time and not paid for it or what?

kansas city kansas community college!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just curious - I'm a male nursing student 6ft and quite muscular - if someone comes at me like that do I have the option of beating the *hit out of him? A patient probably won't come after me for fear of getting the *hit beat out of him, but to w...

Well, I can see I did the wrong thing trying to explain a little about male anatomy. Sorry to waste your time - I thought this was a professional-type site. My mistake. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Excellent point!!!

as a male i think i can tell you a few of the reasons you see a negative penis - or whatever you called it - it's because sometimes if that area gets very cold the penis will retract back into itself - as it were - to stay warm - just like the testic...

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone naked as I find human anatomy very fascinating and not the least bit embarrassing. It's not a sexual thing but an interest thing. My worry is that I might not be as sensitive as I need to be with people's feelin...

I really don't see what is so bad about letting go of some color metaphors as long as it's not in front of patients. I mean, sure, the "F" word is a bit rough but it has become such common place that it's hardly a shocker anymore. Besides - like many...

This might seem a bit odd but do you female nurses think it would be a problem if a male nurse were to focus on women's health issues as his primary care area? L&D, comes to mind. The thing is, I find women's health issues to be a bit more intere...

Hey guys - my ambition is to be an ER nurse but from what I gather it may not be the best place for a new grad. Any recommendations as to a good career path to get there eventually? Thanks - you're all great! Michael

Excellent Idea

no arguement here.

One of the hardest things in life is to finally realize that some people just can't be reached. Not that we don't try, but some will not change harmful behavior no matter how badly they need to or how much it might help their situation. All we can do...

I must admit when I first read about your "assignment refusal" I wasn't sympathetic to you as I generally believe people are hired to work; not to refuse assignments. However, having read these posts I realize these wonderful nurses are absolutely ri...

many students are concerned about prerec's. i guess it's the titles like anatomy and physiology or chemistry - they just sound complicated. but, you can do it if you'll commit to studying. most of anatomy is memorization and chemistry is both that an...

Be not discouraged, EVERY job has its good and no so good points. Every job I've worked (and there have been many) I've disliked at some point - it's nothing new or unique to nursing. On the contrary - take it from someone who's been around - I have ...

You guys (editorially speaking of course) are the greatest. I feel much better about the project now that I've gotten some imput from the experts.
