    Can cat owners really get schizophrenia from their cats?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Alnitak7's topic in Psychiatric

    When I worked at the museum animal room, sometimes I had to bring baby or injured animals home to my apartment to continue the feedings or meds or tx required. My cat at that time was Otis, and he was...

    Can cat owners really get schizophrenia from their cats?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Alnitak7's topic in Psychiatric

    That's why my 'rule' is: no more pets than you have hands to scratch them with. Two if fine, anymore than that and there's jealousy. And, my hubby is no cat, but he is also more social after he's...

    "I feel like I'm gonna puke"

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Well, geez, my mom was a nurse, and if I felt like I was going to puke, she'd tell me to stop fighting it and just go ahead and throw up. I hated to vomit, hated it so much, I would try anything NOT...

    Why do you think nurses leave the profession?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Nacki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am 66 and a half and I 'allegedly' work so that I can earn a living; I have almost zero benes from my employer; in fact they reduced our hourly-rate pay by 2.3%, which leaves me somehow earning less...

    Where will I have the least amount of contact with men?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to nightflower's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Only place I can think of with very little contact with men is in the nursing home section of a convent of Catholic nuns. But it's possible you might have to be​ a nun, yourself, to pull off...

    The Dark Side of Nursing...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to maeli's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My mother was also a nurse; I found her view to be quite comforting: The body is merely the envelope worn by the soul when it comes to earth. When a person dies they have shed the thing that tied them...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    I just choked with laughter while reading this! You are absolutely correct, but it never even penetrated my brain prior to your post. I accepted 'larson' like it was a real thing.

    I have watched the show, "My Cat From Hell" and could not believe some of the cases that guy has worked on, most of them with a fair amount of success. He's one that really 'understands' cats; he...

    Larkin, a boy; I can't imagine the grief he will get once in school, as his family all call him "Lark". If only parents would realize what they are setting their kids up for. Already people hear an...
