    Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    duskyjewel replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You provided two pages of unlinked journal articles to back up the assertion in the Wikipedia quote. If it's not your opinion, your attempt to defend and support it seems illogical. I am not...

    duskyjewel replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, after looking up four or five of the journal articles you posted (I'm not going through that two-part wall of text you posted, without relevant links, any more than that, because I have a life),...

    What's your Opinion

    On the barber thing....you know that most millionaires in this country are people in business for themselves, right? Maybe opening your own shop from scratch isn't the best idea, but there are a...

    What's your Opinion

    duskyjewel replied to MrRager's topic in General Students

    What makes you think you won't enjoy nursing? Would it be satisfying to you to know that you are helping people during the most vulnerable times in their lives? Because really, that's the core of it,...

    Denied because of small body?

    duskyjewel replied to illestglitch's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    IME ladies your size are the ones the rest of us better get out of the way for. I know a Dominican nurse originally from New York City, who is 4 foot something and probably weighed all of 120 lbs...

    If this is true, then why is he your boyfriend? And no, that's not "just how men are raised." MEN know how to support the interests and needs of their beloved, and true love is both sacrificial and...

    Newbie CNA shocked "care" given by CNA co-workers!

    duskyjewel replied to MidLifeChg2Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is the best guiding principal you can have. It will serve you well. Hopefully the DON will respond to your concerns, but LTC is notorious for exactly the kind of thing you're seeing. The CNAs...

    Disruptive & talkative students (vent)

    duskyjewel replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    There should be no timid instructors. These people are in leadership positions and classroom control is one of their duties. If you're afraid to be assertive, you have no business standing in front...

    smmctowelie69, what will you do, though, if he doesn't make the changes? So many young women let themselves get derailed by hanging on to men who aren't worthy of

    Yes, you're right, I just looked it up and that is quoted from Wikipedia. Honestly, liberated, that's your source? A website that can literally be edited by anyone and skewed to reflect whatever axe...

    Is being in a clique bad?

    duskyjewel replied to lampard's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LOL thanks. It's not that I'm anti-social or opposed to making friends. If that happens, it will happen naturally and won't be a big deal. But I spent enough energy and grief during my junior high...

    Why would you be interested in a DNP Degree?

    duskyjewel replied to ARickli's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm still just a CNA hoping to be a student soon, but the reason I would pursue a DNP if I ever did is that it will be required in future to become a nurse-midwife. Or at least that's what I

    Doing group work is annoying?

    duskyjewel replied to lampard's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I despise group work! Grade me on ME, not what other people did or didn't do! I hope my LPN program doesn't have any of that
