    No Stars In My Eyes replied to chuckster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What's a pay raise? What are benefits? Ours are down the toilet. Permanent

    HIPAA violation

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to joe007's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is like the old "if a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody there to hear, does it still make a sound?" It also 'sounds' like someone perching on a branch like a vulture, just waiting to...

    New grad RN salaries in hospitals

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to frequentFLyER's topic in Florida Nursing

    I hope this doesn't come across as rude, because I mean it more as a caution: #1.) Your 'source' might not know as much as she thinks she does, and, #2.) Don't count your chickens before they're...

    Help me bring this into the public!

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to malenurse122879's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Was her quarantine like a PAID forced vacation? I would have a least demanded the tent be set up on grass, instead of in the parking lot! And what about the woman on another thread who took 8 (yes,...

    Feel guilty about resigning during the holidays

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Cynnie24's topic in Nursing Career

    If I were you, I'd hand it in and keep any explanations simple: your sentence (above) about your health being affected should be sufficient. Don't feel guilty, and fer gawd's sake don't volunteer for...

    I'm not being a wise-guy; I have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about! Just out of curiosity, can you give me a nutshell

    Am I crazy? Or should we go for it?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to kcjoRN's topic in Travel

    Once I was in Florida in March. The locals said it was a nice spring.....but it felt like full-on summer to me: 90 degrees! Personally I feel it's an okay place to visit (LOTS of traffic where I was...

    Best Tennis Shoes

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to TSgtRodrigues's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    S'funny how different people are; I have NEVER found a pair of New Balance that fit me right, as the shank and the arch area never are where my feet need them to be. I like Easy Spirits with an arch...

    Huh! Whaddya know! Winking urethras! That is such a perfect, simple little trick, I wonder why it's not taught more widely! Now, if that could only be done with VEINS, I'd be a jam-up

    Do you know first aid, or even have supplies?

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

    amolucia, You are right about dry rot; I recently found a baggie full of gloves in the trunk of my car, in a box of stuff from my Home Health visit days, which was, um, maybe ten years ago. The blob...

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    Yes, that's right, you do have to unlearn bad habits; but I was thinking more of the socially awkward and inept, for whom immersion in bedside care giving might 'loosen' them up some, after dealing...

    Go ahead laugh. Laughter keeps you from going crazy.

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

    I was at a staff meeting, we were all sitting casually around a long, thin table. One of the guys had come in for the meeting on his day off, and he was wearing cutoffs. This was in 1975, before guys...

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    Didn't seem to me that too many posters are down on CNA's. And sure, you had no need of the experience at all; but don't forget, not everyone may have the confidence and ability with people/patients...

    Are there 10 hr shifts in Nursing??

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to firstinfamily's topic in Nursing Career

    When 12 hr shifts first started, it was nice because we were paid for 40 hours even though putting in 36 hrs. Remember FT W/E Baylor? Two 12 hr days and you were through! I do PDN now, and most are...

    Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

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

    If I was working with someone I knew was prissy, I'd just say, "Wait! Hold 'em over so I can slide this little thing in before you're through!" But, basically, if you're already in range and...

    Oh, yeah, there's a lot of times I don't say a thing. But my PCP knows because I am sometimes a tad opinionated about things, and if he is to gain my cooperation, he has to give me his rationale....
