    Assisted living in my home?

    uRNmyway posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    After a very long, exhausting week and half a bottle of wine this idea occurred to me, and I wanted to see how complicated it would be to do. I am an RN in Georgia right now, with experience in...

    Assisted living in my home?

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hmm, you know, that's something I hadn't considered, hospice care. I think it is worth thinking about. I don't know how well I would cope with getting attached to these patients in my home, knowing...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    BlueDevil, I don't know what your background is, but I find this so insulting to pharmacists. First, this description of them makes them sound like no more than a med-tech with a 6 week crash course...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Really, tell me how? Christians (and remember, agnostic here, so I'm not personalizing, I am relaying observations) are ALWAYS getting told how ignorant, backwards, wrong they are. Their values are...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, I am currently a city-dweller. However I grew up in the country and do know what it is like. And I still say that unless the women are being physically restrained from seeking out another...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again, unless the pharmacists are physically restraining these women or calling all surrounding pharmacists and putting them on some kind of 'do not dispense' list, they are not being stopped, their...

    Depends, if she is a Christian, it probably isnt an option. If she were Muslim, that might

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So if a pharmacist refuses to dispense, and then gives you a list of providers who WILL, does that let them off the

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok, so if the pharmacy is privately owned, by the pharmacist, can he/she THEN choose not to dispense birth control or plan B, as a private business

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh come on, that is being ridiculous. To use your comparison, it is like a person going to culinary school and getting a job at a restaurant with a menu that has THOUSANDS of items, but one of them is...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well that's the thing. YOU and your beliefs are forcing people with beliefs that differ from yours to respect YOUR beliefs. If the pharmacist were imposing his beliefs on someone else, he would not...

    Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    uRNmyway replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, with that logic, would you tell a Jehovah's Witness nurse who refuses to administer a transfusion that she chose the wrong profession? Or that she just needs to suck it up and do it anyways,...

    Newer NICU RN - question avout basics! Weights, baths, etc...

    uRNmyway replied to nicurabbott's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, I've never worked NICU, but in mother-baby we weigh babies completely naked. I would think, especially in NICU where you are likely to have premies and low birth weight kiddos, even the weight...

    Bed bugs and contact precautions

    uRNmyway replied to Peeker19's topic in Infectious Disease

    Seriously, be EXTRA careful with those things. Once you have them, they are extremely difficult to get rid

    Here is what bothers me, and this is the case for gay marriage, abortion, whatever. I dislike that you would dictate what *I* should do, if it doesn't harm someone else. Gay marriage? It affects me,...

    Spouses have no idea what it takes!

    uRNmyway replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

    I'll agree with other posters. The AN community, while being great at giving advice, we are NOT your wife. SHE is the one you need to be talking to. You need to calmly tell her how you feel. If you...

    Nurse told me to give Medication

    uRNmyway replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think the difference is something like this: Where I work, in HH, a CNA can take prepared pills out of a pill box and put them in the patient's HAND (mind you, not directly in their mouth). We work...

    Worried I am going to lose my job.

    uRNmyway replied to Nursingstudent0688's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My understanding is that she didn't check placement when on the floor as a student nurse, it was done while working a shift as a CNA. I agree you should speak to your boss about it, but hard to tell...

    Life's Ups and Downs

    As far as I know, unless you get hired by someone directly for home care or private duty and they are willing to overlook it, no, you need to get your certification transferred to

    Lack of Healthcare Accessibility Affects Every Patient, Every Nurse, Every Hospital.

    uRNmyway replied to RNGoldie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, it doesn't. But it might make them take more risks, use less protection, thus increasing STI risks... Young girls often only think of pregnancy as a risk to unprotected sex. Remove the worry of...

    AHS Jobs.....Poof! Gone

    uRNmyway replied to joanna73's topic in Canada

    I don't know how open to this you guys are, but when I was last in Quebec, working agency, there was ALWAYS work. And that was only with mother-baby and med-surg experience. I think if any of you can...

    Right, I was just going to say what Silverdragon102 said. You can just call CGFNS and explain the situation to them as well, they will just tell

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I think that show Mercy actually tried to give a more realistic view of nurses. They failed miserably, but they are the only ones I've seen

    Lack of Healthcare Accessibility Affects Every Patient, Every Nurse, Every Hospital.

    uRNmyway replied to RNGoldie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh wow, yes, lets encourage young girls to have unprotected sex, because now there is just another way they can shirk consequences of those actions. Before you flame, there is a huge difference...
