    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    True. I appreciate you jumping in on this. It would probably be obvious if they abstained from answering unless they were questioning or unsure themselves. Other opinions, please. I want a...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, you have to have consent to do that, logan. I am mainly just wondering peoples' thoughts on whether asking the question about "do you sleep with men, women, or both?" is relevant still, given...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as condoms, I was always taught that it was not only to prevent pregnancy, but also STIs. BC pills have other uses, not only to prevent pregnancy. They can get a period on a predictable...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Boston, how does it affect your job and screenings/assessments? I mean, if I went to you, and you asked me that question and I answered I sleep with women or both, what are you going to do...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hidden, I am asking what everyone's (who reads this) opinion is on the whole question of "do you sleep with men, women, or both?". Is it even relevant? If so, why do you think that? My opinion is that...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grn, I mean mainly as it relates to your sex (biological), not gender--you wouldn't be discussing prostate issues with women, or cervical cancer or pregnancy with men. Birth issues are different. I...

    wish_me_luck replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    pac, I am in VA and I have nursing and pharmacy tech licenses and pharmacy tech market is not any better. I think everyone went into healthcare jobs whether they like the field or not, thinking that...

    wish_me_luck replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    We use Affinity and we don't log them there. There is no sign in sheet either. They probably compare them. I attend AA meetings, too. They are okay--I like the womens meetings better than the meetings...

    Nursing School Patient Loads

    wish_me_luck replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school (less than a year ago), we had one patient. The reason we didn't have more is because we needed a nurse (usually supposed to be the instructor) with us--There were five of...

    wish_me_luck replied to tellmywhy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am doing pretty good. I still don't have a nursing job. I will admit, I haven't looked as much as I should be. In a little over a week, I will have a year sobriety. In a week, I will have been in...

    RN needs work in VA w/ disciplinary action

    wish_me_luck replied to tellmywhy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's not forever, Suzie...from my understanding. I am currently in HPMP (VA's program) and from what I was told, after the 5 years of HPMP, the license becomes an unrestricted compact license. I would...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Public, Community Health

    So, I didn't get the job; but, either I was the only candidate or no one was good--the position was withdrawn. I didn't get into grad school either. Disappointed about PHN job; relieved about grad...

    Okay. Thanks. I had an interview...wasn't so great. Don't really expect a call back, but was just wondering in case. Waiting for decision for grad school--depending on that result, I may have to move....

    Transfer from VA to NY

    wish_me_luck replied to Shanellnaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That can't be true because NCLEX is a national exam. You would have to obtain a NY license and relinquish your (possible) VA one. Take the NCLEX now while it is fresh in your mind--if you are going to...

    New Nurse - Job Offer Pickle

    wish_me_luck replied to ambellina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with the poster who said if you do not need immediate work; then, hold out for your dream job. I think it looks bad too when you leave soon after getting the job. You do have to wonder if...
