  1. Roll Call

    Oh man, I almost forgot.... Yesterday at work I was scourged with a cat-o-nine-tails, hung from the missenmast and finally keel-hauled over 12 hours and didn't even get a break...arrrg. Anyhow I come...
  2. Roll Call

    I haven't kept enough data to support the hypothesis, but probably Dr. Phil has. Has anyone noticed that the first thing guys from 5 to 500 yrs old do is reach for Cap'n Howdy (or John Thomas if you...
  3. Roll Call

    Gosh, you're right...I recognize, just dimly, confess my inner Butthead. I have disowned him in some mistaken, Jungian way. I need a seminar, or maybe a group to learn to own my personal Butthead. We...
  4. Expectations of agency nurses

    I've worked one on one type specialties such as cath lab, G.I., E/P, surgery, et.c so long that I've really forgotten a lot about organization in med-surg, tele, other floor work (I'm nice to have...
  5. Roll Call

    Appealing comes in many forms. I shared an intrest in philosophy with a cardiologist and we had many great talks during E/P studies. I also memorize jokes well, and have had working relationships...
  6. Roll Call

    Hello Gee, how do I say this? Pizza, beer, farts and football. We have thus far devoted 5 pages to making the male nurse in the image of Beavis and Butthead. I think we better get serious or drop the...
  7. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    Hi, You misunderstand, and I think we are closer to agreement than you think. The 'nerve' you alluded to is pretty universal in my world view. Outrage at hypocracy and harm to others extends beyond...
  8. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    Hello,I suppose it would be fairly easy to accept the justification of 'oodles of inconsistancies' if you or one close to you don't happen to be an 'oodle'. Or if you choose to forget the words of the...
  9. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    I intended the Pee-Wee thing as a joke, and I think your response indicates that you are aware, and recognize it for what it is. So we's in agreement.(and there's no basement in the Alamo...see 'Big...
  10. Expectations of agency nurses

  11. Hi Well, I'm contract now, and the general attitude/behavior of managers are so repugnant and toady around here that I can not only beat their salaries without comprimising principles, but can work a...
  12. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    I think the investigative gumshoe and the writers of this trash story have realized that it was a one time shot at selling papers through shock value. Or perhaps it was intended to be just that. The...
  13. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    Hi, I read this story in several papers and was amazed at the trash journalism published these days. An 'investigation' by 'the newspaper' would brand the profession as rampant with social...
  14. Actually, I think that I was agreeing with you, in principle, in the post that precipitated your 'mama' flame. I did not think that I deserved to be answered in such a manner. Nope, no psych nurse>...
  15. I think we are talking on two different levels here. I don't see a supervisor as a "mother figure", and My Oedepal complex was resolved years ago. I was using 'mother' as a convenient and familiar...
  16. I don't know who you are replying to, but I agree 100%. A generalization is destroyed if one exception can be found. That's why I wrote on the subject of consistency. Your mother probably loved/loves...
  17. Expectations of agency nurses

  18. Would I go to bat? Heck yes I would. But they better be getting an unjustified bad rap. I've gone to bat at H/R for a person who actually tried to do me harm to get him out of trouble. (extenuating...
  19. On-call

    I think salaried workers are exempt unless other arrangements are made. However, see what their deal is, and check the law in your state and fed concerning all
  20. Expectations of agency nurses

    Well, I can relate. I was severely injured and subsequently dropped by an employer. I am now a chronic pain patient. I finally left the hospital game to become a 'hired gun' as it were, in the agency...
  21. Expectations of agency nurses

    Well, I can relate. I was severely injured and subsequently dropped by an employer. I am now a chronic pain patient. I finally left the hospital game to become a 'hired gun' as it were, in the agency...
  22. And another thing... Being as nursing has been described as 'quasi-military' in it's structure (see some of the textbooks) I pose these questions...and I'd like to hear an answer. 1.) If we were...

  24. Atrial fib. with PVC's?

    Hi If we answer this question, have we accomplished anything? Serious, no sarcasm intended. All we can do is argue with docs, peers, and worst of all, those people who have to have a special name tag...
  25. Hello Are we confusing 'integrity' with 'consistency'? Personally, I have never had the pleasure of shaking the hand of anyone who was 100% consistent in demonstrating their ideals. We may say that we...
