  1. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I may be wrong but I think you are mistaken. I believe a patient has the right to refuse anything they want

  2. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have no idea what her management style is. She is my fiancé. I do know she is pretty much on call 24/7. I am all for people making as much money as they can legally. If someone lands a job that...

  3. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I noticed you did not answer the question. Should the patient get what they want, within reason without having to reveal something about herself that is really nobody's business? You consider this...

  4. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Should the patient have to explain why? Should she have to announce to the staff that she had been

  5. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In the local teaching hospital near where I live a nurse manager makes little over $100,000 a year where a floor nurse makes $20-$30 an hr. She is managing approx 40 people. Would you consider she is...

  6. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ummm... That is exactly the point I was making. Anyone that thinks we were on the verge of racial harmony in the 1960's, or anywhere close, is either ill-informed or

  7. Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    HM-8404 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Unfortunately L&D is required. Personally I think it is really a waste of time to require males to do a L&D clinical rotation. VERY FEW would ever be hired into that setting anyway. I have...

  8. I failed nursing school by 1 class

    HM-8404 replied to Srichie's topic in General Students

    I my school's nursing handbook it states if you do not pass a class you are withdrawn from the program, if you fail another class, or the same class a second time, you are dropped from the program. It...

  9. Male CNA in a female dominated class

    HM-8404 replied to Acton's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I didn't mean to force a patient to accept care from someone they don't want. I meant health care workers need to stop defending, making excuses, for patients when they

  10. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You used one person as an example of how it must not be that difficult to run a successful multi-billion dollar company. What I posted was silly hyperbole? I guess I could have corrected you by...

  11. Male CNA in a female dominated class

    HM-8404 replied to Acton's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ...and there are tons of people that would not hire a Mexican to do construction on their house. Discrimination of any kind should be unacceptable. Excuses should not be made for

  12. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Obviously you didn't live in the south in the 60's, or was not alive to see it on the nightly news. Watch a documentary and see just how close we were to eliminating

  13. OVER-40 Fall 2012 Nursing Students--Roll Call

    HM-8404 replied to laski's topic in General Students

    I grew up a Navy brat so I had always been around military personnel. I decided to following my fathers footsteps and joined to Navy. Being a Corpsman was a no brainer for me. When I got out I wanted...

  14. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a mid sized hospital not far from me that is an area with a very small minority population, I would expect the vast majority of their employees to be white. It has nothing to do with racism...

  15. Male CNA in a female dominated class

    HM-8404 replied to Acton's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From this statement I get the feeling you think it is no big deal. Lets make a couple of minor changes and see if you still feel the same... A white student tells a black student, "This patient is...

  16. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Going by your way of thinking we should just shut down all colleges because Steve Jobs was successful without a college degree. A CEO can use their power to send a company down the drain and waltz...

  17. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What if this woman was raped by a black man and stated she didn't want to have a black nurse. Should she have that right without announcing to the entire hospital staff it is because she had been...

  18. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The Muslim's request is due to religious beliefs. That is not the same as requesting someone solely based on race or

  19. "No nurses of color....."

    HM-8404 replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have a question. Why is it despicable for a patient to prefer a nurse of a certain color but it is defended if a female patient does not want a male

  20. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How many millions of dollars a year do hospitals spend treating patients that do not pay their bills, where the hospital has to eat that cost? How many indigent patients does an ED see each year? If a...

  21. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Running and being ultimately responsible for something as complex as a large hospital does take a specific skill set. It also requires more than an Associates degree or a Certificate you can get in 6...

  22. Off orientation and sometimes asking myself, "Am I cut out for this?"

    HM-8404 replied to newSN's topic in Emergency

    I am not a nurse but I have had jobs where I felt I was drowning at times. Often we are our own worse critics. I would suggest talking one-on-one with another nurse you have worked with quite a bit...

  23. Wallace State Fall 2012

    HM-8404 replied to southerngal2108's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I have to admit I was pretty impressed with the orientation. The school seems to be geared more toward student success than just high NCLEX pass

  24. Do you wear rings?

    HM-8404 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    Should paranoid people really own expensive jewelry? How about they keep it in a safe deposit box and just carry a picture of it in their wallet? As a guy, when I see a woman wearing a big rock on...

  25. Do you wear rings?

    HM-8404 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    If I didn't feel comfortable leaving my valuables in my home, due to fear of a break-in, I would seriously consider moving. I would not want to worry if my stuff was safe every time I left
