  1. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How in the world does my marriage effect you?? And voting against prop 8 was a vote FOR gay marriage. Yes, your morality should have nothing to do with legislation. If you don't believe in gay...

  2. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because they know what's best...for everyone. Didn't you know? Sigh. It's very frustrating to be told what you can and cannot do with your body by a complete stranger based on their morals. Especially...

  3. Colace & MI

    SionainnRN replied to tiffc8433's topic in Patient Medications

    Can we get some more info? Did they have a cath, are they on narcs, why wouldn't they be on colace? There is not enough info to answer the question. Is this for

  4. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well sadly that's part of life. Most things aren't fair. Have you tried moving to a rural place that is hiring ICU? If you spend your time looking at what others have and how they got them, you'll...

  5. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Usually ER is harder to get into than ICU. Either place will want tele experience. I went from trauma ICU to ER and even that was hard. I know med/surg nurses seem to have a harder time due to lack of...

  6. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes there are people walking around with enough narcs on board to kill a horse that's not the point. I guess I'm coming at it from ICU/ER vs hospice, where we give much higher doses of meds to pts...

  7. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So you've been told specifically what you need to help get you into ICU and are complaining that you aren't getting hired when you still don't have those requirements? Obviously your first step is...

  8. PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

    SionainnRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need more Jell-O shots, it really brings out the new grad

  9. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Technically the morphine is decreasing their respiratory drive which slows down their breathing and they die. The morphine is given to ease the pain from the disease. If they were not given the...

  10. PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

    SionainnRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But doesn't it make them oh so delicious when we eat

  11. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And if you can't do the job you were hired for, then you need to find a new job. And no, it's not about you, it is about the patient, it's always about the patient. And the fact that you work in...

  12. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is so hard to grasp about it not being about you but about the pt? The way you present yourself and your opinion gives the impression that you would do everything in your power to stop a pt from...

  13. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Then don't do it. But just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean it's not a valid choice for someone else. Just like abortion or hanging

  14. Cyclic vomiters (drive me up the wall)

    SionainnRN replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I had one guy who would come in every 6 weeks for CVS. Turns out he had cannabis induced hyperemesis. He smoked so much pot everyday all day long it got him admitted in the hospital every couple of...

  15. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You are not being "denied" anything as no one "deserves" any nursing position let alone one in critical care. As someone mentioned are you getting your BSN? Are you on any committees? Have you tried...

  16. Just took NCLEX RN, stopped at 265!!

    SionainnRN replied to kansas_chick1234's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What advice can we give? The test is over there is nothing to until the results are out. Now this isn't necessarily directed at you, but why don't people search for similar topics? There are TONS of...

  17. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But that is not what we are talking about. This is about voluntary euthanasia. Where the pt makes the decision while they are still able and carries it out themselves. It is not overdosing the pt. But...

  18. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's what we've been talking about, voluntary euthanasia, assisted suicide,

  19. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That was just one example. And I don't know of any euthanasia where they give potassium except for lethal injection. Unless they're an "Angel of mercy" which is code for murderer. True euthanasia is...

  20. my story...

    SionainnRN replied to lil0401's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How did they not give you a reason for termination? What does your paperwork say? The story is just confusing. I know you're holding back details, which I totally understand, it just

  21. PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

    SionainnRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Was this supposed to be sarcastic? No one is forcing anyone to change their profile picture, just giving very helpful advice about the consequences of making yourself too public on

  22. my story...

    SionainnRN replied to lil0401's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm having a hard time following your story. You had empty vials of Ativan in your pocket that had been appropriately wasted and were fired? What was the official reason for firing? Does everyone who...

  23. Discrimination in the workplace

    SionainnRN replied to Parrotindistress's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh absolutely! What the OP said the nurse said are horrible and shouldn't be said, especially in the work place. I was just trying to point out that due to different perspectives and phrasing, things...

  24. Discrimination in the workplace

    SionainnRN replied to Parrotindistress's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well that's your opinion. And if the post had started "hey men" the female population would be up in arms. Sorry if the gender discrimination doesn't bother you, but that doesn't make it any less...

  25. Discrimination in the workplace

    SionainnRN replied to Parrotindistress's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No but she specifically excluded an entire gender. I was just pointing that out to show that sometimes people says things that can be taken the wrong
