    Glycerine82 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly why we need to treat addiction, even before it becomes addiction. (How, I don't know....) The fact is that addicts have a different chemical makeup and become addicts because they are...

    Glycerine82 replied to NanikRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK, I clearly used "negative reinforcement" in the wrong context. I do that a lot.... What I meant was, animals, especially Cat's, don't learn from punishment. They learn from positive...

    Glycerine82 replied to NanikRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry I had to comment. You are supposed to show them and say "NO"! but NOT actually rub their noses in it.... that's animal abuse..... Cat's don't learn from negative reinforcement, you may think...

    Regarding chronic tardiness

    Glycerine82 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    What I mean is that whether or not I respect someone isn't going to change the probability of me running late. For the record, I'm absolutely not suggesting it's OK to be late or that those who are...

    Regarding chronic tardiness

    Glycerine82 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Out of all the many reasons I have for constantly running behind, respect for others has NEVER been part of the equation. What some people don't understand is that for some of us, (mostly those of...

    A Day In the Life of a Rehab CNA

    Glycerine82 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It wasn't that they didn't want to, they simply didn't have time to. They had 2 or more patients at a time to treat in a very limited amount of time. It's just the nature of the beast, I guess. Thank...

    Glycerine82 replied to HakunaMatata<3's topic in General Nursing

    had a pt with conversion syndrome. It was the strangest thing, because he presented with CVA symptoms. What was so strange to me was that sometimes he could use his arm and sometimes he couldn't. I...

    OK. I'll bite. I had to make the decision to stay in the South and be able to survive paycheck to paycheck, rather than go home to Massachusetts, where my family and heart is. I would love to move...

    Glycerine82 replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I was treated by a NP who was wearing cute jeans and heels with big hoop earrings. I related better to her based on her demeanor and general down to earthness. (I know that's not a word ;-) ) I...

    Glycerine82 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't believe the Bible was meant to be taken literally, I really don't. There is no way that God meant he wanted us to sit around and not lift a finger on the Sabbath even at the expense of...

    Would you quit over white uniforms?
