Well then, your god allows some pretty nasty things to happen to innocent children.

oooooh, this one is rough. I met a 12 y/o who cut up her face with a soda can lid, so that she would be so ugly that her father would stop having sex with her. She was also pregnant by him. There is no god.

With all due respect, crying all day and freaking out like that is a terrible trait. Put your big girl pants on and handle yourself like an adult, or at least like a professional. Im sorry to rant like this, but for goodness sake, you sound like a baby. Can you imagine seeing a Doctor breaking down inconsolably over a minor accident like that.

In the same way that there are cultural differences that we are taught to embrace, there are also gender differences that shouldn't be ignored. Personally, L&D was the worst part of school, I never really felt welcome on the unit, and it was the attitude of the female nurses that made me feel unwelcome. We are not the same, and trying to force our patients and society to accept that is silly. Its better to be understanding and flexible, in my humble opinion.

I think you get the picture by now, I have my job and you have yours. The best course of action is to understand this and do the best you can, there's a lot you can learn by watching.

I view "forbidden words" immature mythology that too many nurses live by. (The jury is still out on the full moon thing; if the moon can affect tides, and animal behavior, who's to say it cant affect sensitive human physiology?)

I'm biting my tongue here because patients do have the absolute right to refuse care for whatever reason, BUT its impossible to move towards an equal society if we treat "preferences" as anything other than sexism, racism, homophobia, etc. The practice should be frowned upon unashamedly.

Well, Thats you.

Ativan bro.......

WAY less drama. I'll take working with the guys anyday.

I just start talking with a lisp and they calm right down.......

you're probably overthinking the questions if the above is true.

In order to leave a well thought out response, Im gonna have to see Pictures. Please post so that I can respond "appropriately" ;-)

aren't they on lock down? isn't that why you go to their tier? how would that be a recipe for a hostage situation then security is tighter for fog lockdown?
