  1. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    shermrn replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 16 years, I have a love/hate relationship with the profession. I love doing what I do, but at the same time I just hate so much of what goes along with nursing. I'm...

  2. What is the most nightmarish medical bill you ever saw and how did it get payed?

    shermrn replied to Alnitak7's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I had a 27 weeker in the NICU for 4.5 months, the medical bill was well over 1 million dollars, I had to pay a couple thousand bucks. Not a bad deal at

  3. Sweet-ease

    shermrn replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We can only use it to treat/prevent pain as ordered by an MD. There was also some concern with overuse/misuse contributing to oral yeast

  4. Getting Thrown Under the Bus

    shermrn replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    You seem like someone who likes to complain, you have an inflated sense of self worth and feel everyone is out to get you. Sometimes life sucks, buck up and deal with

  5. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    shermrn replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm pretty much in line with Bortaz on my political thinking, but I do get a little hot under the collar and like to

    shermrn replied to Melanin's topic in General Students

    These idiots need to be taught a lesson, nail them for sexual

  7. What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    shermrn replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I was a nursing supervisor I had an NA call to say he could not come in because he was lethargic. I one time had to call in because my dog was suddenly very ill, took him to the emergency vet...

  8. Nurse with 10 years adult experience starting NICU ..... help!!!!

    shermrn replied to notsosupernurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I went into NICU after about 10 years in adult care, everything from LTC to ICU. I never really was happy with nursing until I started in the NICU. My son was a patient for 4.5 months and that got...

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Can you give a specific example of when/where each one of these ideas has been tried and what the outcome was? Also an example of all of them being tried at the same

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    YES!!!

  11. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To reel in my rant about the constitution I'll stick to just one value or principle, as it relates directly to health care and the ACA. That principle is the idea of limited government. Giving the...

  12. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interesting, you seem to be missing my point, no offense. My point is that principles, morals, values, whatever you may call them are timeless and those upon which the constitution is based are...

  13. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok, I'm not bashing the systems of other countries, however one cannot deny they also have their problems. What I'm saying is why settle, why not come up with something better than what we have now,...

  14. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is no denying the fact that an educated and healthy population is good for the nation. I just don't believe the government is the best choice to manage the nations healthcare, look how poorly...

  15. Corporate Senoirity VS. Bargaining Unit Seniority...

    shermrn replied to Despareux's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This is a touchy subject. I have worked for the same company for eight years, at three of there hospitals, two of them union, one not union. In my current union position they only count the hours I...

  16. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    malamud69, not sure what to make of your comment. What is the problem with limited government? Where in the constitution or anywhere do the founding fathers suggest we live in hidden bunkers or...

  17. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think I get your point, as long as we are paying taxes lets spend that money on health care rather than corporate bailouts etc. I agree that would make sense. I'm not sure where to go from here, I...

  18. Let's Talk About Health Care and I Don't Mean the ACA

    shermrn replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think its great for Americans to hold the government accountable for how our tax dollars are spent. However, it's dishonest to say the "Wall Street crowd" either doesn't work or doesn't pay taxes,...

    Yes, I see, that crossed my mind that that's what you

  20. tatoos & piercings, part 2

    shermrn replied to amoLucia's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It seems that tattoos are just trendy right now, it's human nature to want to fit in. It's also human nature to judge others, initially, on appearance. In the long run people will get past their...

    shermrn replied to GA1234's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I started typing some suggestions but realize I have nothing to offer in the way of advice. I can only state that I wish you the best in your recovery. Keep us updated on your progress, it is...

  22. Pigeon-holed

    shermrn replied to pacjeffery's topic in Men in Nursing

    When I worked with adults I would always get asked to help with lifting and such things, because I 'm a guy. There were times when I've been busy charting while the female nurses around me were...

  23. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    shermrn replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have to admit I have been judgemental of people with different hairstyles, peircings, and tatoos. I realize that overall it's a trend that many seem to follow. I think as long as you have good...

  25. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    shermrn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The working classes are not the ones who pay the most taxes in this country. How about a little honesty in this debate? On the subject of being honest, I think we need to acknowledge the fact that...
