    Allowing Corpsman to Become Nurses

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Government, Military

    I didn't mean to imply by my story that I thought that today's FMF Corpsman, Medic's and Corpsman shouldn't receive credit for their fieldwork. I believe they should have the opportunity to challenge...

    Why do people belittle others to make themselves feel better?

    FMF Corpsman replied to maracuya's topic in General Students

    I can't, for the life of me, figure out why you would feel belittled over this statement. The OP is in her 40's and, if I am reading her correctly, is simply stating a feeling that if she where twenty...

    Why do people belittle others to make themselves feel better?

    FMF Corpsman replied to maracuya's topic in General Students

    Hi Kelani, Congratulations for doing so well in your studies. To answer your question, neither she nor anyone else has any right to put you or your efforts down, but that isn’t going to stop them....

    How do I become a critical care nurse?

    FMF Corpsman replied to mark1973's topic in Critical Care

    Pray tell, what exactly is a "young" non-traditional student? That could very well run the gamut from a number of different

    Lost my first nursing job... now how do I find another?

    FMF Corpsman replied to 071911's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Silverbird, It is a shame the way some facilities use and manipulate people to their own end, but there really isn't a great deal you can do about it, unless you want to earn a reputation for filing...

    Lost my first nursing job... now how do I find another?

    FMF Corpsman replied to 071911's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are right, but unless I'm getting my stories mixed up, she was hired into a probationary position and began telling her towards the end of her 5.5 moths or so, that they didn't think she was going...

    FMF Corpsman replied to 071911's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Silverbird, I read back over your post from your profile, and unless I'm mistaken, you've been anticipating this termination for sometime right? You've known that your Supervisors were not happy with...

    Nursing Student in Recovery

    FMF Corpsman replied to jesskidding's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I take it from the sound of sneezes, you suffer from allergies, that's terrible if you love dogs. I really don't think I would find life worth living, if I couldn't share my life with dogs. I know...

    Why does every unit have a princess?

    FMF Corpsman replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    BlueDevil, You could have been writing my script, with one exception, I had friends at work, or at least I thought I did, in the end, they didn't turn out to be so friendly. I wonder if it is because...

    Why does every unit have a princess?

    FMF Corpsman replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have to remember I am retired, I'm ten years older than you, and what you consider a long time and what I consider a long time might be two different things, but you are right on the rest, they...

    FMF Corpsman replied to echoRNC711's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most of you already know my position on political correctness, so please, do not be offended by my directness in this post. I cannot, and will not be other than what I am, and that is an old military...

    Happiness vs more money

    FMF Corpsman replied to adamsmom2's topic in General Nursing

    Adamsmom, what everyone else said was true. Adam probably will appreciate his education more if he has to work for it. He will likely study harder if he knows it's his money going down the drain if...

    Pulled from floor by "Men in Black"

    FMF Corpsman replied to mikala3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As most of the other bloggers have stated, you are under no legal obligation to speak with anyone regarding patient care, unless you are directed to do so by the Hospital legal team, and even then you...

    Was I at fault? the nurse embarrassed me in front of others.

    FMF Corpsman replied to crunchytaco's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was fortunate where I worked; we never had an issue with answering call lights. If a light went off, the staff would practically knock each other over answering it. But that is what comes from...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    End of life decisions are very difficult to begin with and usually aren’t taken lightly, which is why I was appalled at the behavior of both the Hospital Administration and the staff of the floor I...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    RNfaster; In your quote above "... I do see Dr's broaching the subject of end of life care...," I can't help but wonder, if you don't ever discuss these topics with your patients or their families. I...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What I find particularly nauseating are those cases, even after the policyholder has paid their premiums for years and years, the insurance companies are able, no, justified in declining the claim,...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Could it be possible that many people are up in arms, as far as ObamaCare about being forced to take on a Healthcare policy of any sort, as they feel they are too young to have to worry about it? I...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    FMF Corpsman replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are absolutely right; There are indeed Agencies that need to be shutdown. Their practices are corrupt and should leave a bitter taste in the mouth of any nurse, or let me re-word that, ethical...
