  1. Lack of "customer service" as beneficial factor for chronic disease process?

    Susie2310 replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with this idea at all. It's too bad that some nurses and physicians are disgruntled. Health care IS a service business. Nurses, by virtue of our scope of practice, and code of ethics,...

  2. What is the afterlife like?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Do you have people you trust in your life that you talk to about these

  3. What is the afterlife like?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think that your attachment to EGspirit is the cause of the difficulties you are experiencing. You want EGspirit to live forever. It's not enough for you if the deeper self of EGspirit goes on....

  4. What is the afterlife like?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think that if, when we die, our deeper self goes on subject to the Karma (assuming Karma exists) we created for ourselves through our thoughts and actions when we were alive, different conditions...

  5. What is the afterlife like?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Why do you believe that when you are no longer alive you will continue to dream as you do now, or that you will be in a dream

  6. What is the afterlife like?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think that if the deeper self of you, EGspirit, goes on (let's say, in a reincarnation), as distinct from the ego mind of EGspirit, then the deeper self of EGspirit doesn't cease to exist after...

  7. Are NPs expected to be happy and cheerful?

    Susie2310 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, it's so unreasonable for patients to expect a NP to be pleasant, cheerful, and respectful when the NP is an independent

  8. Health Care Professionals and Marijuana

    Susie2310 replied to HalfBoiled's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't California voters oppose random urine tests for drugs and alcohol for physicians a while back? I think you are seeing a lack of desire for implementation of disciplinary action on the part of...

  9. My apologies to the nursing profession

    Susie2310 replied to Jon12's topic in General Nursing

    The victim being told they are the cause of their problems goes back as far as nursing school in my observation. Nursing can be a very dysfunctional field. Groupthink is common in nursing and in the...

  10. BSN or Associates Degree

    Susie2310 replied to raynpetal's topic in General Students

    This is very sensible advice, and it is the conclusion I have come to

  11. Should I write a memoir?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I personally found the thread you started about advanced practice nursing "Beyond bedside? advanced practice? really?" quite refreshing, as I think did a number of other people. You brought up a very...

  12. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Susie2310 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    klone, I just googled "labor laws regarding bathroom breaks for employees." There is OSHA information/regulations that may be

  13. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Susie2310 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    The reality is that house prices have outpaced average salaries for years. And again, many of the jobs that existed for middle class and working class people no longer exist in this country in any...

  14. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Susie2310 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Re-reading your post again that I replied to, my response to you would still have been the same. As I read your post you didn't sound compassionate towards or understanding of the lady. You made...

  15. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Susie2310 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I was responding to your post, and from your words I did not discern understanding or sympathy for the lady you referred to who was mentioned in the

  16. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This.

  18. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Susie2310 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    This is terrific, and I couldn't agree more that this program should be expanded to all states. It's great that your father was able to benefit from

  19. We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    Susie2310 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Without actually knowing the details of a person's life it is easy to make assumptions about why they are in their present circumstances. Being able to save adequately and plan for one's retirement...

  20. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that the OP may be referring to the vast difference between physicians medical education and training versus that of a NP. Physicians are trained in the Medical Model and are uniquely...

  21. Really, Doctor?!

    Susie2310 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    The patient was experiencing new left sided weakness in addition to their other symptoms of confusion and slurred speech. It was appropriate to treat this as an emergency. The patient could have been...

  22. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    The OP replied to the person who first brought up Flo (OP's post #2): That is the post I am referring

  23. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Florence Nightingale's work supported bedside nurses directly. She was committed to quality hands-on nursing care of patients. I think that was the OP's

  24. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=EGspirit;9696617 Why in our profession are we always running away from the bedside? Ego often plays a big part. Chasing the following: PROVIDER status. More money. Better benefits (actual...

  25. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Susie2310 replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Or the NP is practicing under standardized procedures (as RN's do), with a physician supervisor. But they are now
