  1. Reiki and healing touch for pain management

    Mystery5 replied to tgsnipe's topic in Holistic

    I totally agree with you, Kevin. I investigated Theraputic Touch after my experience, and was told that it was in the same catagory as Reiki, drawing on unknown energy forces, and not compatable with...

  2. Yelled at by NA for shaving pt.

    Mystery5 replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm assuming NA stands for Nursing Assistant??? I would be careful with this one, if that is the case. Some CNA's like to intimidate new nurses with this type of domineering manner. It's hard, then,...

  3. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    Mystery5 replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I said unions are a two-edged sword, because the reason they exist is in response to management that is all too eager to exploit workers for all they're worth. So, the unions move in, we pay...

  4. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Mystery5 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Baby Rn, You bring up the issue of bad grammar. I'm reminded of the two gals whom I carpooled with to nrsg school. Their grammar was like nails on chalkboard to me, riddled with double negatives...

  5. Reiki and healing touch for pain management

    Mystery5 replied to tgsnipe's topic in Holistic

    I went to a massage therapist who also used 'theraputic touch' as part of her therapy. I didn't know much about it, but she's a part time surgical nurse where I went and takes our insurence. My doc...

  6. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    Mystery5 replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    I think unions are two edged swords. The ANA, like many unions, supports some liberal social causes with union money. Also, they like to get in facilities and impose a closed shop, and force everyone...

  10. What is the #1 healthcare problem in the USA?

    Mystery5 replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Also, obesity contributes to all the knee surguries and other othopedic problems we see. It's a rare total knee I see that has good eating habits. It's a viscious cycle with these types of

  11. What is the #1 healthcare problem in the USA?

    Mystery5 replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I'm doing pretty well then! No TV, no clothes dryer, still have a string mop, don't use pre-prepared foods. I don't vacuum very often though.:chuckle I agree, the modern lifestyle of eating on...

  13. What is the #1 healthcare problem in the USA?

    Mystery5 replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    Poor personal health habits on the part of citizens who then expect doctors to come up with a magic pill. Pharmacetical companies with too much political clout pushing those pills. Unfair distribution...

    Mystery5 replied to gwlillith's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever did it must be a habitual thief. I mean, you can make houseplants from other houseplants very easily by putting a cutting in water until the new roots develop. I have too many houseplants...

  21. Tips on sucking up!

    Mystery5 replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have a way of sizing up pts quickly, and finding some way to make them feel comfortable with me. It's an intuitive sort of thing, but there are always clues in the room, such as books they are...

  22. Other Side of Coin---Less than Humble New Grads

    Mystery5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    We hear a lot about 'eating our young', something which I personally experienced myself, btw, but what about the other side of the coin? How do we handle 'know it all' new grads who overstep their...

    Mystery5 replied to findingmywayRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have 6 children, 1 was born at sunrise, 2 just after 12 noon, 2 just after midnight, and Daniel, I'm trying to remember, I think it was sometime in the evening. They were all natural home...

  24. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Mystery5 replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding ADNs who poo poo BSNs, I think part of the reason is little bit of insecurity and inferiority complex. And BSNs knocking ADNs is probably the same. Because lets face it, once you get out in...
