    Working Out 6- 7 days a week

    CountryMomma replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I work straight weekends 12hrs, so I work out mon-wed. Thursday is my prep day for work. I just cannot bring myself to workout after a 13hr work

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    CountryMomma posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I thought that my workplace was fairly immune to this kind of behavior. There's a wide variety of religions and cultures in our staff and in our patients. I had just started feeling comfortable...

    Give an example of a difficult decision you've made

    CountryMomma replied to j0yegan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Did you play them both at the same time? OP, I've plenty of hard decisions to make of my years. I'm not just about to divulge them all because you feel the need to be snarky and vague. How about you...

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    CountryMomma replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    NO. You need to be stopped right now. "Things" weren't said. She called my Gods whispers of her Satan. She asked if I was prepared for the possibility of Hell. These are very insulting. This isn't me...

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    CountryMomma replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is key. I made it clear I was perfectly happy with my druidness and was not interested in becoming Christian. She kept going despite that. Rude and insulting. Evangelicals do not know...

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    CountryMomma replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    ***. I'm supposed to be polite and listen to her explain how my Gods are really just Satan whispering in my ear, and you accuse me of being rude, close minded, and I'm ranting about how I can't...

    Coworker tried converting me on my break

    CountryMomma replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Okay now I think this is getting ridiculous. I'm not planning on "torpedoing" anyone's career, "whining" to HR, or "making a scene". I already had a rough idea of how I wanted to handle my situation,...

    Highest/Lowest K+ you've ever seen

    CountryMomma replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    6.5 - she came in because she had a fall and broke her wrist. The k+ finding was coincidence and I've never hovered over the dumb waiter so anxiously waiting for insulin and Calc gluconate. Lowest...

    GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    CountryMomma replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I will say it again - I have seen no hostility nor maltreatment of Christians on this thread. We will have to agree to disagree. But I will leave you with this - I cannot safely allow my children to...

    GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    CountryMomma replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    If the OP meant to say that he or she feels they are a better nurse with the grace of his/her God, then he or she should have said that instead of stating nurses with God are better. One is specific...

    GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    CountryMomma replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Try reading. Twice I mentioned a specific Goddess, so I don't qualify as an atheist by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not offended by the mention of God. I'm offended by those who claim to be...

    CountryMomma replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Well on my last three 12 hour shifts I did not save any lives but I seemed to have improved them. .. As far as the professionalism affecting the life-saving, I'm not sure you and I have the same...

    Anyone dating a med-student?

    CountryMomma replied to allilop's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My charge nurse is married to a CC MD. They're celebrating their 30th aniversary this spring. She told me it taught her patience and respect for MDs, and it taught him the same for nurses. Win-win...

    St. Alexius in Bismarck or Sanford in Fargo?

    CountryMomma replied to Vietsandwich's topic in General Nursing

    Fargo Sanford is also a teaching hospital with NDSU, Concordia, and Presentation. Very new grad friendly, runs a support group for new grads that meets once a month and goes through the common...

    Do you really get the worst of the worst when you float?

    CountryMomma replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I floated to the women's unit for a shift. When I came down for report they immediately started apologizing for my "heavy load" and told me they hoped I would float to them in the future. Sure, I...

    The west end of the state just saw unprecedented growth and wealth form really quickly, and many of the wages from noon-oilfield jobs haven't caught

    Incoming to Bismarck

    CountryMomma replied to DatMurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a native ND'er. I like being a nurse here, but to warn you, ND is a right-to-work state. Employers have great latitude re: hiring/firing. Good communities, fair wages, good place to raise a...

    Stereotyping Male Nurses

    CountryMomma replied to lvansick's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have 3 guys I work with regularly, and I'm just as thankful for them as I am for my lady colleagues. It never occurred to me that they'd be gay just because they were male nurses. Considering...
