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

    uRNmyway replied to RNGoldie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I'm not sure how much STATE tax funds go to pay for nation building. But I agree with you, I would much rather money be spent on the citizens paying these taxes as opposed to other countries,...

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

    uRNmyway replied to RNGoldie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I think that the point with this is forcing people who are very much against something to pay for it for someone else. If something is going to be paid for with tax dollars by these people, it...

    1. State (city would be nice) 2. Salary 3. Benefits 4. Perks if any 1. Atlanta, GA 2. 25$/hour for office. 50$ per nursing visit. When I do supervisory visits, I get 0.50$ per mile for anything that...

    The most gruesome situation you've encountered?

    uRNmyway replied to SuzieVN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God....this made me nauseous, so sad, and made me want to run home and hug MY toddler....bless you for your service and what you had to see and do. I couldn't have made it with my sanity, that's...

    Laborer likes to make personal attacks to make him/herself look bigger and smarter. Happens a lot. Also happens a lot that when people disagree on AN, it often turns into mud-slinging.

    So you think flu vaccinations don't work . . . .

    uRNmyway replied to Laidback Al's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If there is no way to get the flu from the flu shot, why do we hear about so many people who get sicker after getting it than they did years they refused the flu shot? And that, consistently. I HAD...

    I don't want a male nurse! - Caption Contest Winner

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I agree with PMFB-RN. If my gender, ethnicity, age, wtv makes a patient uncomfortable with receiving my care I would rather gracefully let someone else take care of them than risk being scrutinized...

    doctor's office accessing of scripts

    uRNmyway replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Aha! So there it is. You DID have something to hide, that could have cost you a job. Therein lies all this anger. If portability would be for your loss, not your benefit, then there was indeed...

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    Um, WHAT?! Yes, because it's all about them not contracting anything else, not about protecting OTHERS from that!

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    You know what I noticed on here? You have one person who identifies as bisexual come on here and say she PREFERS TO BE ASKED about orientation. And a few straight people who say 'No no, it doesn't...

    Nursing School Patient Loads

    uRNmyway replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I have the equivalent of an ADN. We started clinicals in second semester, one day a week, with one patient. We were responsible for hygiene, vitals, and were to start working on our therapeutic...

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    Here is what I am thinking: If we do ask or talk about it, we come across as possibly judgmental. If we don't ask, it becomes a 'don't ask, don't tell' kind of thing. I see absolutely nothing wrong...

    The most gruesome situation you've encountered?

    uRNmyway replied to SuzieVN's topic in General Nursing

    Oooh, now you've piqued my interest! I need to start looking into that! BTW, is it weird that I found that really cool? :S

    OMG Say it correctly!

    uRNmyway replied to seanynjboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The ones that annoy me most are 'axe' instead of 'ask', and 'irregardless'. I know, I know, Webster's added irregardless because of how much it was used, but still, makes me grit my

    Dealing with crappy tech/assistant performance

    uRNmyway replied to mitral's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I get what you are saying. Maybe I'm just someone who avoid confrontations when I don't think it will work. I guess I am just going off what I see time and time again here on AN. Staff that doesn't...

    Steve, clearly you have not read many threads on here. Many of them are addressed professionally, if the context is professional. This thread came off as an

    Priorities

    uRNmyway replied to NurseDewar's topic in Emergency

    My understanding about the E-cig is that it is no more than vapor, and that the person smoking them doesn't actually blow anything out. Nothing is emitted from them unless the person actually inhales,...

    Forced out of job as MA

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

    Have they cut her hours? If she can still work, even if they are shunning her, I would say she should stick it out but start looking for work elsewhere. It is a lot easier to find work when you...

    You make the decisions on YOUR shift and I'll make the decisions on MINE

    uRNmyway replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, while I don't withhold pain meds, even when I think the patient is drug-seeking, I refuse to give cash to homeless people. Tell me you want money for food, I will bring you somewhere and buy you...

    uRNmyway replied to Laidback Al's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So who then makes the choice? The child who can't understand? I know as a kid I would have chosen anything that avoided a painful shot. Or perhaps the government? Lord knows they always do what is...

    Freedom from restraints & confidentiality.

    uRNmyway replied to JasonValentine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, you do need to get an order for restraints. However, where I used to work (not in the US), if we had someone start to get confused, sundowning, wtv, we could put on a posey or geriatric chair...

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    I think the point the previous poster was trying to make was regarding how many accidents are caused while under the influence of alcohol vs accidents while under the influence of pot. You are kinda...

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    uRNmyway replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, you realize that is one of the biggest arguments FOR decriminalizing and/or legalizing right? If something is legal, you don't need to resort to criminals and gangs to get it for you. Jus'...
