    Meaning of your username?

    CelticGoddess replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, It's called a Dixie Chopper. And various Husqvarna tools. I still think the Dixie Chopper is the way to go: Can mow down a football field of zombies in 10 seconds

    Issues with starting an information-based website?

    CelticGoddess replied to mtlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I would focus on educating your patients, instead of the general population. I feel we have more than enough web sites where the general public can go to learn about diseases and condition,...

    male nurses

    CelticGoddess replied to bonta's topic in Men in Nursing

    One of the best nurses (that I know) for psych situations, combative patients, etc is a former prison guard in a mens prison. She decided that wasn't what she wanted to do for the rest of her working...

    Missing narcotics

    CelticGoddess replied to karenrn111's topic in General Nursing

    Be very careful who you accuse. I worked with a woman who was accused of diverting, she was arrested, had to go before the BON, lost her job, and as a result, she had a hard time getting another job....

    Is Neamh pronounced the same as Niamh? I have never seen it spelled Neamh. And I use the name Niamh a lot when I play sims. That and

    CelticGoddess replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I am Scottish (Celtic) and I am also a Goddess. :) Cheeky Goddess just didn't sound as good as CelticGoddess so, I stuck with it. BTW: I love Penguins, especially if they are from

    Boldness to Speak

    CelticGoddess replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    The problem I am having (and I suspect others as well) is that here you say "If they are interested" yet you didn't bother to find out if your classmates were interested. When someone hands me a...

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    CelticGoddess replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    How does a disruption of class not affect the other students? When the instructor has to stop lecturing because of a later comer, how does that not affect others? If the late arrival is noisy, how...

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    CelticGoddess replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Or how about those same people who always show up late for report but demand you clock in right at 0638/1838 so they can give you report to get out

    Nursing students and their bad behaviors >:(

    CelticGoddess replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Students

    When you are the off going nurse and you have to wait 1 to2 hours for you relief to show up, do you honestly think you are still going to feel this way? I seriously doubt it. And I do NOT like to...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    CelticGoddess replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    As it's illegal in most states (and I am in one of those states) nope, don't smoke it. It isn't worth losing my job over. And I do enjoy having an unencumbered license. Just not worth it. I do...

    I have a pen, a dry erase marker, a sharpie, scissors (for opening stubborn packaging and never for wound dressings) and my stethoscope. All other supplies are provided for me. (Actually, I get my...

    Not religious and working in Hospice?

    CelticGoddess replied to Dyvinite's topic in General Nursing

    I am a pagan and I work palliative care. I haven't had any issues. I care for all my patients whatever their beliefs. I have also "prayed" with them. I just close my eyes and listen. You don't...

    Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    CelticGoddess replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    What makes an impressive job? If you do your job well, take pride in it. I have very little desire to work ICU, ED, or anything like that. I work Onc/Palliative/Med-Surg and personally, I think...

    Boldness to Speak

    CelticGoddess replied to Parakeet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    However, passing out religious tracts to fellow students is hammering it down their throats. How would you feel if I were to give you a copy of the Book of Shadows? Or an invoking spell? I think...

    We get a whole 30min and we need to have staff to cover our patients to leave the floor. So, what are we supposed to do? If we leave the building with no one covering our patients it's abandonment....

    I know 2 people who have lost their nursing licenses. One lost it after she refused to attend a recovery program after diverting and testing positive. The other never even appeared before the board...

    CelticGoddess replied to stacylethani's topic in General Nursing

    I use Aveno Eczema therapy or Eucerin. For my cuticles I use Badger Balm or Burts Bees (I LOVE the smell of the Burts Bees). I have also found that using coconut oil (yep, the stuff you can cook...

    Radiation technologist or BSN nursing?

    CelticGoddess replied to bluestar776's topic in General Nursing

    HOnestly , I didn't find being a rad tech less stressful than nursing. When I was a rad tech, I had to deal with a lot of crap. If the radiologist didn't read the x-rays in at timely manner, it was...
