  1. Drug seekers

    CarryThatWeight replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you, OP. I know you feel like you are contributing to a problem. That may be. However, you are but an insignificant part of this patient's life. By fighting the system of giving his pain...

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    SimonJester, that's horrible!! I can't believe a hospital would do that! Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to

  3. In my first semester and want another baby

    CarryThatWeight replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

    It's my understanding that you don't qualify for FMLA until you have been on the job a year. So those 12 weeks PP mentioned you would get off... Your job is not guaranteed to be there when you get...

  4. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    CarryThatWeight replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    No, it's not that bad. Especially if you are single, no kids, and not working. That's what I did too. I got a 4.0 in nursing school and I still had time to do some things on the weekends. Granted, I...

  5. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so that's one isolated incident... Remind me how many people are concealed handgun license holders in the U.S.? And how many innocent bystander shootings are committed in the U.S. by police...

  6. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone point me to an article where violence was started, or it escalated or whatever, and a concealed handgun license holder attempted to defend themselves and shot an innocent person

  7. ONS Chemo course online

    CarryThatWeight replied to msnorth's topic in Oncology

    The new chemo bio test from the online course is harder than the OCN test. By far. I called our clinic doctor and asked him one of the questions and he didn't know the answer! Ridiculous, in my...

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    In Texas, no one can prohibit anyone from carrying a gun or weapon in their car. Even if it's parked on hospital property. So you can always carry a gun in your car in Texas, as long as it's concealed...

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, how is forcing ("bribing") abortions and sterilizations funded with taxpayer money "live and let live?" Am I missing

  10. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I just got an email from the president of the university where I work. Texas legislature passed a law that allows licensed holders to carry a concealed handgun on campuses of institutions of higher...

  11. Just done CPR on neighbour's wife

    CarryThatWeight replied to mmsparkle's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure it will give him comfort in the coming months that everything possible to do was done for his wife. It will likely save him from many "what ifs." Kudos to you,

  12. I am a real nurse

    CarryThatWeight replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    What do you mean,

  13. I am a real nurse

    CarryThatWeight replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    I wish I could like this 1000

  14. I am a real nurse

    CarryThatWeight replied to annienurse86's topic in Psychiatric

    No, but that's not odd, that's mean. Mean spirited and demeaning. It's very familiar to me, and that's why it jumped out at me immediately. I have a verbally and emotionally abusive husband. It does...

  15. Short Rant Alert!

    CarryThatWeight replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    Why not go with Novasure and avoid the problem altogether?

  16. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    And in Texas, you must pass a shooting test or you will not receive a license. 20 rounds at 9 feet, 20 rounds at 20 feet, and 10 rounds at 45 feet. Any bullet holes outside center mass on the target...

  17. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    ... So, for all of you who say that us concealed carry people are a threat to your safety because we don't have enough training to be able to use a gun outside of a shooting range, do you trust...

  18. Short Rant Alert!

    CarryThatWeight replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    Those Johnson and Johnson "be a nurse" commercials make me want to

  19. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    "Easy access to guns is a poor choice in conflict resolution." Really? How often have you had successful conflict resolution with someone who has a gun pointed at you? Say, in a movie theater? How's...

  20. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want to know our procedure in the case of an active shooter? Run. That's it. Run. Now, if I have a gun in my purse in my locker, (that's very close to where I'm working), at least I have a...

  21. Firearms

    CarryThatWeight replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I love concealed carry threads! They always get interesting. I do not carry on my person, but I do have a pistol in my purse at all times. I do not work in a hospital and there are no signs out front...

  22. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    CarryThatWeight replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Um, I don't "unite" with anyone over the injustices of nursing because I have bills to pay. Let's not forget that nurses are quite replaceable these days and employers can fire anyone without reason...

  23. HELP! I have permanent restrictions and want to become a LMT!

    CarryThatWeight replied to AleciaCrognale's topic in General Nursing

    Why are your restrictions permanent? I thought once you completed a program they took the restrictions off? You might want to ask the mods to move this to the recovery forum because you'll get a...

  25. Beginning Last Semester - Should I Stay or Should I Go?

    CarryThatWeight replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm not in Colorado, I only know what I've read on these boards. From what I've read, hospitals in the Denver area are very set on nurses having a BSN. I'd recommend checking out the Colorado nursing...
