  1. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    eroc replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    So which is it? Do you work? I would simply be ashamed of my wife looking to make me look bad on and internet forum, anonymous or

  3. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    eroc replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Me and my wife are both RN's. We both worked on our BSN's at the same time with her being one term ahead of me….and we have a daughter. And we both had full time jobs. Life has to have some...

  4. What's next when you receive rejection letters

    eroc replied to tabitaf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Life is not always straight down a planned path. I was a 9th grade high school drop out. At 36 yo I decided I was going to be a nurse. I got my pre-rec's and things didn't go exactly as planned. ( I...

  5. Which to follow: MD or Policy?

    eroc replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    I would follow orders…unless I saw a contraindication for a new dx. Then I would call the MD if my nursing judgement indicated a

  6. cost of healthy meals

    eroc replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    Your make an outstanding point. The problem is people don't understand, having a sense of being "full" does not equate to fulfilling your body demand for nutrients. A simple example would be a steak....

  7. cost of healthy meals

    eroc replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    Learn more about nutrients in foods, (not just a classification) as this one simple aspect of a "diet". As I have and will continue to use sweet potatoes as one part of a healthy diet.(Not to mention...

  8. cost of healthy meals

    eroc replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    We have different realities then. I have done it. Example. The sweet potatoes….poke holes in it, wrap it saran wrap, put it them in microwave for 6 minutes….peel and eat like a banana. I...

  9. Bullying

    eroc replied to LisalaRN99's topic in General Nursing

    And you went straight to the director first? So she is bullying you? Maybe she is the one feeling

  10. cost of healthy meals

    eroc replied to kidzcare's topic in General Nursing

    This may insult many peoples' thoughts, but I am going to state facts. Fresh vegetables are cheap and the healthiest choice for anyone. And even then it depends greatly on the supplier or how they...

  11. FNP salary?? Productivity stipend?

    eroc replied to ked022214's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, i am a a 2nd year nurse and make 4k a month working 3 days. The salary is not impressive, and the liability is great…..but I still want to be a DNP or

  12. Working Out 6- 7 days a week

    eroc replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Not trying to disagree with the last two post…very close to being correct. As a competitive bodybuilder for ten years..(I am 38) 6 days of weight training is fine. It allows for every muscle...

  13. do you think a degree/ education is ever a waste?

    eroc replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    9th grade high school drop out here! (Until approx. 5 years ago) Education is not a waste and I have educated myself since I became a drop-out so many years ago. Now is the formal education to get a...

  14. Fellow nurses...does this make sense?

    eroc replied to desert_MP's topic in General Nursing

    If it was school policy…why was the student so eager to state she got to do foley at post-conference? Apparently, she would not have been so eager to tell everyone, if she knew it was against...

  15. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    eroc replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yeah OP, it's most likely you. I will openly state, as a male I would not have been interviewed if I were female for my current job. As a male i have constantly been asked to help do the heavy...

  16. Should I quit nursing school?

    eroc replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    At 19 yo, finish what you started. Life can be much more stressful than finishing out a few classes. Two years from now you most likely will regret quitting….if not 2 years, maybe when you need...

  17. Too old? Too young?? Career? Question:)

    eroc replied to SML456's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 34 I was a 9th grade high school drop out when I decided to start on a track toward RN. RN @ 36 BSN @ 38 will start DNP within the year, and currently a CVICU

  18. Help me understand the stigma Acute Care Vs. "The Rest of Them"

    eroc replied to SNBTaylor's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked LTC, acute and now critical care. In my limited experience each one works on sort of a sliding scale. The higher the acuity the more medical knowledge is need to survive (mental), the...

  22. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    eroc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, but I did have to refer you to a cite that was easily available to anyone. So when people on a board make blanket statements, like that is not true, before doing your ones own research it simply...

  23. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    eroc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Like I said in my previous post…being one-sided it not wise. There are countless variables to consider when citing "evidence." For example, there is evidence that drinking water is linked to...

  24. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    eroc replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My point is that evidence needs to be considered on all levels. Research it not always reliable, especially when most research is funded by people with financial incentive in selling a product...
