    Ebola here in Dallas USA

    duskyjewel replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ebola here in Dallas USA

    duskyjewel replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Puppy and nursing school?

    duskyjewel replied to arightnurse3465's topic in General Students

    Puppies are a lot of work and they are also sentient beings with their own needs and rights. If you're going to adopt one then you need to recognize that and be prepared to meet those needs. They'll...

    I'm panicking! Now I can't resign!

    duskyjewel replied to perfexion's topic in General Nursing

    That is your employer's fault for not adequately covering such a long absence. Do what you need to do for yourself and your career. Trust me, they would take care of their own needs at whatever cost...

    Obamacare and hospitals

    duskyjewel replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You'll have to take it up with the President then: "The Affordable Care Act -- also known as Obamacare," Obama said to applause from backers at the University of Denver. "I actually like the name," he...

    Would you do this...? Thoughts....

    duskyjewel replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, medically-assisted bulimia. SMH. It is absolutely unbelievable the lengths some people will go to in order to avoid having to learn some self-control. And before anyone jumps down my throat, I...
