  1. My first precipitous delivery - freaked out!

    caregiver1977 replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for sharing. I almost had my baby in bed twice because no one really believed I was about to have a

  2. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why was it a thread in the first place? If you have a job that pays and you have health care, then isn't that COOL? Whatever kind of nurse you are there is a patient that thinks you are

  3. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, not

  4. Do you think younger generations have a sense of entitlement?

    caregiver1977 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP is right, and I think it is mostly the fault of parents. When I see what some kids have for parents, I shudder...literally. And yes, I am a

  5. Increasing ER visits because of no insurance!

    caregiver1977 replied to Josh Brewer's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying sliding scale clinics (where available) would fix all problems or yours, but I do think they would help in some situations. I think many of the people who are indeed wasting the ER's...

  6. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    BTW I know for a FACT that many McDonalds like to hire people on disability because they get some sort of tax credit. I heard this from a woman who owns 5

  7. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    "Until the WHOLE fraud problem is dealt with, their will continue to be many frustrated health care workers about this issue." Sorry, meant to say "there." My baby is trying to eat my

  8. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Who said it was okay? Not me. I am just saying that there is a whole gravy train of fraud going on. Someone is GRANTING these bogus claims. It is not like you can just go order up some disability...

  9. Increasing ER visits because of no insurance!

    caregiver1977 replied to Josh Brewer's topic in General Nursing

    Some people don't know what a real emergency is and go to the ER thinking they have an emergency and don't. It is not that they are trying to scam anyone (yes, there are plenty who do). People who...

  10. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    OMG if their child has asthma then parents shouldn't be smoking anyway, I don't care what kind of money they are

  11. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Well now I have to agree with you on some of that. It seems as though many people's coping mechanisms got flushed down the toilet somewhere. If there is a problem, give it drugs, not a solution....

  12. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I meant to address the general flaming going on in this thread (there is a lot of flaming that goes on in allnurses), not you specifically. I should have said so. My bad:redbeathe:redbeathe...

  13. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Why aren't you all as frustrated with whoever is GRANTING the frivolous disability claims? Someone is helping these freeloaders (those who are in fact freeloaders) get disability, people don't just...

  14. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you read a page or two back someone explained it perfectly. I wouldn't have even brought it up, but LegzRN (I think) said something about an ER nurse looked at him wrong and it ruined his whole...

  15. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Also, I'm pretty sure McDonald's just hired 50,000 people. So? With all the McDonalds there are in America, do you think that is really significant? And if you work more than full time at McDonald's...

  16. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    That was quite unnecessary, but true to how threads on this forum often go, *sigh*:uhoh3: I don't think anyone is saying that there are no freeloaders, but some people get lumped into that category...

  17. Lots of young people on disability?

    caregiver1977 replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Many people who can't work and are on disability are ashamed. Some people with epilepsy can't work (or do much else of anything they like/once did) and it is not always apparent unless you see them...

  18. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh GAWD I am sorry! I thought about that possibility after I wrote it. Well now you get worms, hot peppers, tomatoes (cherry and homestead), and cucumbers. I think I will discount my worms for all...

  19. Assisted living as a visitor/Sunday School teacher not a nurse.

    caregiver1977 replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't have said it better. And I don't know if I would take a chance with them unless I couldn't find work anywhere else. That was really, really,

  20. I enjoy my patients

    caregiver1977 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Refreshing!

  21. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I was being sarcastic because she said her week was ruined because an ER nurse looked at her the wrong way. I have heard people say "nobody likes me, I might as well eat worms" or something to...

  22. Dinner ideas for busy class nights!!

    caregiver1977 replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only think of one

  23. Good area of nursing for a male to work in?

    caregiver1977 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    All I know is many male patients would be glad to see you when it comes to more "sensitive" health issues and

  24. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I grow worms for my organic garden. On another thread some nurses were contemplating eating worms because no one liked them (or they weren't sexy or something). I offered my worms to them (I would...

  25. L&D nurses - can you look at my birth plan?

    caregiver1977 replied to Lola77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you want no pacifiers or bottles for your breastfeeding baby, then the nursery is liable to call you each and everytime the baby cries for any extended period (which is why rooming in as much as...
