  1. EMT in place of Critical Care

    NurseFeelGood replied to volsfan's topic in Occupational Health

    Yongue- I am not in your area but I work for the company you mentioned as an OHN and I do love it. We play many roles and see many issues. Mostly work comp issues but often you feel like a school...

  2. on smoking...

    NurseFeelGood replied to cookiemonsterrn's topic in General Nursing

    Very good analogy. I couldn't think of a better way to explain it

  3. is it right or wrong nurses smoke women young nurses more so

    NurseFeelGood replied to nursebetty2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you as well TriageRN. Being a nurse certainly doesn't change who we are or any of our bad habits. Believe me I have many as well. I probably wouldn't have ever quit, by the way, if...

  4. Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    NurseFeelGood replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety I can tell you that Parisian Department Stores have cameras INSIDE their dressing rooms. I can't speak for other stores but I would bet quite a few others do as well. My mother used to work...

  6. is it right or wrong nurses smoke women young nurses more so

    NurseFeelGood replied to nursebetty2's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think it should be against the law to smoke. That would be a bit extreme. However, this is my 20th day without a cigarette. I did not quit because of how it looked to others because I do not...

  7. Massage...how often do you indulge?

    NurseFeelGood replied to Nemhain's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Modesty is not a problem for me unless I'm attracted to the person doing the massaging then I might become modest. That being said, I would just like to share what happened to me on a nursing...

  9. An ethical question about closeted gay providers and patient requests

    NurseFeelGood replied to ChrisA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That would be my feeling on the matter too fergus. I would think that is discriminatory against that staff member and at no time should a person be required to disclose their sexual orientation...

  10. Having to work Holidays:(

    NurseFeelGood replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to tell you what a great reply I think that was. It was very refreshing. Sometimes I get very upset when I hear others say, "So and So doesn't have kids he/she should work so I can spend...

  11. Vote here! allnurses presidential race poll

    NurseFeelGood replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Amen!! Too many people rely on the government to advance them already. If we are past 30 and we are unable to support ourselves maybe we better look in the mirror. By the way last tax season I...

  14. Requirements to be OHN

    NurseFeelGood replied to gigigirl's topic in Occupational Health

    Great post! I've finally found an environment I could "retire" at and that takes a lot for me. It has definately sharpened up some of those skills I had not used in quite a while having worked LTC...

  15. Requirements to be OHN

    NurseFeelGood replied to gigigirl's topic in Occupational Health

    Yes, it was very easy to pick up but then again anything which interests me is pretty easy to grasp. I will assume you were referring to that in a positive way not as an LPN bashing. Anyway, good...

  16. Requirements to be OHN

    NurseFeelGood replied to gigigirl's topic in Occupational Health

    I'm an LPN and I presently work as an OHN and I did not have any experience when I began. I just sent it a resume and went to a behavioral interview. Now that's a whole other subject (the behavioral...

  19. GOOD nursing shoe suggestions other than Danskos??

    NurseFeelGood replied to NCNurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    New Balance running are by far the most comfortable shoe I have put my foot into. I don't have much of an arch and often get back aches but I can honestly say not a one since wearing these. They are...

  21. Night nurses: Do you have a sign?

    NurseFeelGood replied to PJMommy's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't use a sign but only for security reasons. But I do have a system that works quite well. First of all my windows in the bedroom are totally blackened out (looks just like night in there) I...

    NurseFeelGood replied to trapped_in_light's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. RNs in LTC

    NurseFeelGood replied to surfnbeagle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wendy, First of all let me say you sound like a great supervisor to have. I don't get the impression from your post that you in any way feel above anyone else. BTW where in the south are you? I'm in...

    NurseFeelGood replied to luckymichelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in Gadsden, AL which is very close and I worked with temps before I passed boards at a LTC facility here. I had several friends who did the same at various LTC facilities in the area. I'd say...
