    My boyfriend's ex is a drug seeker/substance abuser/narcotic pill popper

    uRNmyway replied to Queenofhearts_'s topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well according to TOS, we can't give legal advice. However, I would definitely be

    Have you ever witnessed this situation?

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

    Ok, completely off topic, but I have to mention this. Guys, the word 'irregardless' does not exist. I am sorry for interrupting the regular broadcast for it, but that 'word' just makes me grind my...

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

    uRNmyway replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, if you really want to talk about using taxpayer dollars, lets look at how many free vacations and extra perks Obama has used... Plus, I find completely ignorant the idea that businessmen only...

    Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    uRNmyway replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in General Nursing

    Could it not be transmitted from mother to child during childbirth? I realize STD testing is usually done during pregnancy, and if found, they do C-section. But, if not known about, or baby born...

    Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    uRNmyway replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So its either "corporations are people" or entitlement for everyone. Hmm, I don't want to live on this planet

    Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    uRNmyway replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, I was aware it was socialized healthcare. But I have looked into nursing over there, and the conditions seem to be better. Nurses still make a living wage and can support their families. I don't...

    Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    uRNmyway replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am responsible for a 14 month old awesome little girl. I have gotten all her regularly scheduled vaccines, but I am not a believer of the flu vaccine. Her father also does not want her to get the...

    Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    uRNmyway replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To ER nurses out there: Who abuses the ER more? Who tends to go in for broken nails and the sniffles? Is it the private pay, those with poor coverage from their insurance providers, or those covered...

    Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    uRNmyway replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well I come from Quebec, where they have socialized healthcare. I worked as an RN there for almost 3 years, and hated the way things are run. When you don't pay out of pocket for anything, you don't...

    How to negotiate a per diem pay rate with agency...

    Oh geez, any chance you could let me know which agency and hospitals/departments this was

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think of all of that is subject for an entirely different thread, and honestly, seeing how judgmental that was, I would not want to participate in it. How people choose to parent is absolutely none...

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Actually, BlueDevil, I work in home health. In an office. I dont technically HAVE a patient load. So yes, I could take off if an emergency arises. And I dont think my judgment has anything to do with...

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sure, for you it is, and I appreciate it. However, I was answering a specific comment from BlueDevil and a specific question from nursel65. Maybe I find it obnoxious to be told that Im not a good...

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well to answer BlueDevils comment, I wish I was able to completely rely on my fiance to care for my child like I would if I was home. I really do. I love him, but sometimes his judgment and his...

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I kind of resent the `golden uterus` comments. Im sorry, but I completely disagree that any of what parents say is about `trumping`other parents. It is about us wanting to do what is best for our...

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But if you had been reached, would you have cut your trip short to go spend his last hours with him? That is the difference. If my daughter were injured, I would drop everything and go. And like...

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I get what you are saying. However, with my fiance, although he is a brilliant man, sometimes he make some decisions that just make me wonder about intelligence and common sense... He will get upset...

    Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

    uRNmyway replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yup, I totally agree with you. I think in the interest of making things "fair", we have made things the complete opposite of it. When not everyone is eligible to have the same things, with all other...

    Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

    uRNmyway replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, I'm sorry. I know this might not be very PC, but racism is racism, no matter who it is against. And white people are not the only people who can be racist, just like they can be discriminated...

    uRNmyway replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would have agreed with you all before my daughter was born. However, as a new paranoid parent, my heart always skips a beat when my fiance calls me during the day (he stays home with our baby). I...

    Am I alone, Have I jumped the shark?

    uRNmyway replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    I went to night shift too because of the work content, and just being a night owl to begin with. I do sometimes get tired, especially during the winter when a night-shifter barely gets any sunlight. I...

    Would you do this?

    uRNmyway replied to TX.RN.Shannon's topic in General Nursing

    The facilities I have worked at had standing orders for things like Tylenol, Glycerine supp, and a few other things that I can't think of offhand right now. We would just write the standing order,...

    Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

    uRNmyway replied to biomimetical's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I completely agree. When I was in nursing school, the only scholarships being offered were specifically for African American females. And I don't think the discrimination against minorities occurs as...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    AngelfireRN, I just love seeing your rants. Always so entertaining. Make me feel not so bad about the stuff I have to deal with! Thank you so much for
