  1. Covid wedding... am I the bad guy?

    amoLucia replied to zoidberg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And IMO, pass on the wedding! You need to concern yourself with your safety and that of your fam. If you were to go, and things go awry because of the wedding, you'll have to deal with the...

    amoLucia replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Klondike bar, anyone? And for HP, they did away with that little tourist guy in the floral shirt years ago. Likewise, the same with the Frito Bandito and Pecos Pete, I think. Seems like Christopher...

  7. Keep looking for a job or finish my BSN?

    amoLucia replied to clamchopz's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it sounds like you need to allow yourself to experience some big doses of SUCCESS at this time. So, having said that, I agree with your option to finish school at this time. You're making great...

  8. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    amoLucia replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

  9. Vanity Plates?

    amoLucia replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Plates for Purple Heart recipients & Pearl survivors are esp recognized here as well as the one vet I met whose cap merely read the USS Indianapolis. I got goosebumps when all I could mutter to...

  11. Former client in home health

    amoLucia replied to consumer's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Am reading this late, but it got me thinking. Some employers do prohibit any staff/client contact post-employee departure. Personal issues aside, it may have more to do with the possibility that the...

  14. Vanity Plates?

    amoLucia replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your service. And re the veteran plates, I have actually stuck sticky-notes under windshield wipers just to say "Thank you for your service". And that's it. I think Gold Star Mothers...

  15. Is it common to hear derogatory comments about nurse researchers work not valid because they are not currently clinically working?

    amoLucia replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Research

    It's a sad reality but nurses DO continue to bash and minimize other nurses' practice as LESS THAN their own. This minimalization , knocking, discriminating, etc has been going on forever! Don't you...

    adventure - those T-shirts are funny. I think I may have run across it somewhere. TY for the

  17. Movement now proposing to require LEOs to be 'licensed' like nurses.

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

  18. Movement now proposing to require LEOs to be 'licensed' like nurses.

    amoLucia posted a topic in General Nursing

    Caught a brief ending snippet on TV yesterday, but didn't catch enough to offer much info. It mentioned something about some movement now proposing to require LEOs to be 'licensed' like nurses. !...

  19. Pay Question...

    amoLucia replied to Emm_RN's topic in Home Health

    caliotter - you covered sooo rightly for most nsg positions with the 2 pay options. With salary, there was 'no limit' to all the extra time one'd spend just trying to stay afloat of all the minutiae...

  20. How important is facility reviews to you?

    amoLucia replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    I liked to check out State DOH survey reports. I think it gave me a better perspective on a facility's shortcomings or problems, more than someone else's 'sour grapes'. And 'it was business, nothing...

  21. Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    amoLucia replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    only until something goes wrong! ? 'In the old days', it used to be the unit where all the older nurses went to work just before they were to retire. True! No, those who couldn't cut it went to...

  24. I'm so ashamed of myself

    amoLucia replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    "Or not advocating for themselves by asking the right questions." (my thought) I truly think this was the case with my 79 y/o roommate (1 1/2 day only) who had just been isol-hospitalized in...

  25. Movement now proposing to require LEOs to be 'licensed' like nurses.

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    Some of my points exactly! Particularly, no definable oversight! One 'bad apple' can then move on without ANY worry off past history catching up. And yes, 'bad nurses' also move about freq but not as...
