    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You ever had a tubal ligation or a vasectomy? Come back and tell me if it's pain free. As to not harmful, currently there is no procedure/drug regimen that is without risk of

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Good solution! "See, I told you it was reversible after you get your act together. Now that you are clean and sober and a contributing member of society, we will just reverse that little ole...

  3. Can manager call nurse at home regarding patient information?

    Horseshoe replied to Nise478's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with this as long as you are taking appropriate measures to be sure your conversation is not overheard and that the questions you answer are relevant to the patient’s care....

  4. TikTok Nurses Drama

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    And there is nothing wrong with saying abstinence is the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy and STDs. It's the thinking that preaching abstinence is the only information one needs to provide to teens...

  5. TikTok Nurses Drama

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Meaning it doesn't stop people from having sex. Nothing stops people from having sex. All abstinence-only education does is leave the sexual beings unprepared for STDs and pregnancy. Doesn't matter...

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    And that you just “don’t understand” why the person in front of you ordered that. And insisting that you need to know “why” they

  7. Witchcraft Resurgence

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    I think you know perfectly well that billions of people on this planet who believe in some type of religion or deity are neither clinically insane nor psychopaths. I don't know if you are trolling or...

  8. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, again we have to consider what people consider "living comfortably." If the median price of a 1 bedroom apartment in NYC is $2900, living in a studio or 1K apartment might not be considered...

  9. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career

    This, too, may depend on geographical area and specialty. My D is a new grad lawyer, finishing up her MBA as part of a duel program. She has been hired as a new associate (and doesn't know anyone in...

  10. Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    Horseshoe replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career

    To be fair, NYC is one of the highest COL areas in the country. That money doesn't go near as far there as it would in a lower COL

  11. Witchcraft Resurgence

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    It's possible to do for your kids while they are maturing AND have them turn out to be quite independent. Nothing wrong with your Dad's parenting in this regard, but it's not the only way to do...

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree. No one should go into a career they don't like if they can possibly help

  13. Gloves at all times?

    Horseshoe replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    OMG.

  14. If BON protects the PUBLIC, who protects the NURSES?

    Horseshoe replied to Peterpan's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it's a good thing that there is an entity whose function is to protect the public. Someday we will all be patients, and we'd probably prefer there is someone at least trying to protect us...

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Surgeon would be in a heap of trouble if I (the circulating nurse) wasn't there. Every time he (or she) needed something, he'd have to take off his gloves, get the object, then re-glove, assuming he...

  16. Gloves at all times?

    Horseshoe replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I personally never wore gloves unless I knew I was going to have to touch the meds (and honestly, I usually did it for the comfort of any potential germaphobe patients or family). Usually you can just...

  17. TikTok Nurses Drama

    Horseshoe replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, she's not wrong, but if abstinence is all ya got, it's a disservice, especially coming from a nurse. I've never watched her, so I don't know how she presented her information. We know from the...

  18. Gloves at all times?

    Horseshoe replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    On the other side, I have worked so hard to be the tolerant family member that I have let things go that in retrospect I should have taken a hard stand

  19. Gloves at all times?

    Horseshoe replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    It's not about thinking they are perfect, but about not being able to be a concerned family member at the same time being empathetic with the nurse. Many people's nursing experience and knowledge...

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    And I will repeat: Sorry, but there are some "views" that are not worthy of respect. Views which completely ignore facts and science and can result in serious harm to individuals and society at large...

  21. Witchcraft Resurgence

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    While I don't believe all beliefs are worthy of respect, that doesn't make it okay to actively show disrespect to someone for their beliefs. You can still show respect to the human being. Sorry, but...

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, but if you are going to link articles to bolster your point, it seems that you should have read them.

    Horseshoe replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    How old will you be in 11 years if you DON'T go to medical school? Point being, where would you really like to be in 11 years? A nurse or a doctor? Will you be happy being a nurse, or after those...

    Sorry, but there are some "views" that are not worthy of respect. Views which completely ignore facts and science and can result in serious harm to individuals and society at large are not going to be...

  25. Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    Horseshoe replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy. Ignore the grump and be
