    uRNmyway replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    man-nurse2b, itsnowornever WAS referring to Bush, or at least that is how I interpreted her statement. And I agree, there is a lot of racial tension. But I think that A) Some of it is actually...

    So here's the thing. All I have ever wanted to do is work with children. In fact, if I didn't go into nursing, I would have entered early childhood education. I worked in mother-baby, started...

    Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    uRNmyway replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There again, wrong. Bush was far from perfect, don't get me wrong. I was constantly criticizing him and the decisions he made. But I can think of two things he did that had positive repercussions,...

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you for that PedsRN. I guess I hadnt looked at it that way. That it might make me appreciate my daughter's health more. Maybe I will need to explore that perspective a bit

    What and How Much Can You Tell to Patient's Family?

    uRNmyway replied to CuteNurseUnl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That is a really good idea. So long as those who are given this number do not pass in on without the patient's consent I guess. Or maybe you guys could have an approved list of names, and they ALSO...

    Double Standards

    uRNmyway replied to Flyboy17's topic in Men in Nursing

    That isn't true. I have seen amazing L&D and OB/GYN male nurses. If you are good at what you do, then it doesn't matter. But sure, some people will be uncomfortable with having someone of the...

    What and How Much Can You Tell to Patient's Family?

    uRNmyway replied to CuteNurseUnl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You can't tell them anything. Can't even confirm they are in the hospital. What if this is an abusive spouse? What if its someone scoping out their house to rob them blind? What if its just a nosy...

    Need career advice, nursing with kids, can't handle Peds anymore?

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    I know that working in other areas remains a possibility. I guess my freakout is mostly because I never really *wanted* to work in any other area. I enjoy med-surg, but would prefer it with kids....

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, thanks. I keep having to remind myself not to smother her. I read these horror stories about kids getting hurt, killed, abused, kidnapped, etc. It makes me want to interview anyone who comes in...

    Check Up: Obamacare vs. Romneycare: Any real difference?

    uRNmyway replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you sure you question RNDude's grasp of the English language? I would look twice at man-nurse2b's grammar... And on that note, man-nurse2b, when you make references to things, you might want to...

    Have you ever witnessed this situation?

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

    Death- your experiences

    uRNmyway replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing
