    No Stars In My Eyes replied to nurseredd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My primary doc's office is absolutely stellar! A one doc practice; they use computer program with a patient portal. You don't have to go through phone-trees or multiple personnel. You can leave a...

    I worked a Mon-Fri 9-5 Dr's office (one doc Full-time, one doc Half-time) It was horrific as doc's were married and they bickered.....in what they thought was a cute and witty way.....but it was just...

    My husband is one of those who feels the medical community, and particularly doctors, only want these repeated visits to get some more $$ out of the patient. I hear it all the time at home, the...

    What's your dress code at work?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much any civvies, tho' a lot of folks wear scrubs.(PDN) I wear something clean and tidy, but not fancy or 'fashionable'. Don't wear bluejeans unless I've known the pt. a while, or if the...

    Yup, love my job; my niche is PDN and it is so fine to get to relate with my patients who are mostly in their nineties. Some hold their own, and some are on the way out, but I really, really enjoy...

    Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There were more than a few kids in my grade school, circa 1950's, who had effects from 'mild" cases of polio. One kid had his left side affected almost as if he'd had a stroke. His arm was curled up...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When you are an "I-Me-Mine" kind of person (as aubrienora revealed to us that she is) and use that to justify yourself you really don't have a leg to stand on. I understand putting your kids first,...

    aubrienora Since you signed off of this thread, maybe this is a moot question, but what exactly did you find "useful" about this conversation, other than it was a venue on which you could stubbornly...

    Home-schooling doesn't protect kids from being exposed; think of every single public place you go with your kids. Do you think every Doc and the CDC a bunch of liars in bed with Big

    So, I admit that I didn't go back and read all 28 pages of this thread, but the thought occurred to me (as it has, probably, to others).... Why are/were we so freaked out about Ebola, and so blase'...

    Do nurses eat their young?

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

    And doncha think that there are other businesses that have that aspect of undercutting and back-biting between co-workers in a dog-eat-dog manner? (I am better than them because....) Methinks it is...

    Yeah, MikeRN84, I know you didn't mean to open a can of worms; sometimes folks don't start with a thread from the beginning and get all het up by what someone other than the OP says and then a can of...

    I remember the polio fears of the early 1950's, and it wasn't just a rumor started by Big Pharma to sell their products. Scroll back to the photo at the start of this thread, of the Polio Ward with...

    But does it count as discrimination when some female wants as few personnel (and only the necessary ones) with their face down in her personal and private area? We are taught to safe-guard our...

    Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to westieluv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love me my caller ID! One time the director.supervisor would've had to cover a 'must-staff case' and she didn't want to; she hired an RN friend to do the shift so she wouldn't have to do it. More...
