  1. Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    macawake replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't really thought about my criteria for liking posts. I kind of read and press "like" if it feels right. But now that your question has made me attempt to analyze it, I think it varies and is...

  2. Conflict with friend/coworker

    macawake replied to Axgrinder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After reading your post I was left wondering why on earth anyone would want to have Flo as a friend, so no, I guess you haven't managed to convince me that she has enough positive qualities to make up...

  3. Problem with work environment

    macawake replied to Flossy73's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What you are describing isn't a laid-back atmosphere. You're describing a work culture that lacks discipline, professionalism and a work ethics. Since you seem to be among the newer nurses on this...

  4. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    macawake replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I agree with you on the ethics, but I don't think that angelnursedf meant that the nurse should have sacrificed the one patient to protect the ears of the many. I think that what angelnurse...

  5. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    macawake replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. Granted, I'm not an American and there are some differences between our cultures but I truly didn't realize that workplaces as formal as the one OP's described still exists. In...

  6. allnurses avatars

    macawake replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Thank you Davey Do, I absolutely love my new avatar You have no way of knowing this, but I'm an absolute health nut. My eating habits are ridiculously healthy... but.... once a month I will visit a...

  7. Doctors vs NP's?

    macawake replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Deciding not to engage when one suspects that a poster is deliberately trying to stir **** doesn't mean that a person is "seeking ways to bail out of a situation". Under those circumstances I think...

  8. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    macawake replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I think you understood morte's point perfectly :) # I think I need a teeny tiny

  9. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    macawake replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    You picked an interesting thread to resurrect. Welcome to AN. Well, if you ever get wrongfully arrested and manhandled I guess you can lead by example and be calm and deferential. I have never been...

  10. What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    macawake replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    You're not here educating the general public. Speaking for myself and perhaps a few other posters as well, I would really appreciate if you used clear medical terminology. No need to dumb it down for...

  11. How My Orientation is Going

    macawake replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    September 2017 November 2017 December 2017 OC, "the same thing day in and day out" describes 99% of all jobs out there, whether they are in nursing or something in a completely different...

  12. What is a Sugar Cleanse and Do I Need It?

    macawake replied to Carol Ebert's topic in General Nursing

    +1000 This sums up the questions I have. OP, I think it's necessary that you describe/define exactly what the toxins you mention are. You also need to explain what you mean by "sugar cleanse". If it's...

  13. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    macawake replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Poland in my opinion certainly isn't with its current government. The European Union has voiced serious concern with the path they've chosen. Poland's Authoritarian Shift Spurs Warning of Economic...

  14. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    macawake replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    You're right, it is. It's part of an orchestrated effort to undermine and eventually change society as you know it; free and democratic. Some in this thread will no doubt think I'm being overly...

  15. This person outranks me?!

    macawake replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes... you're a cretin, an imbecile. You're clearly an embarrassment to all all things nursing. (Of course I'm kidding here, but this being the internet and all with a complete lack of facial...

  16. This person outranks me?!

    macawake replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    We can hardly draw the conclusion that he doesn't in fact know more than you, from the three examples you mentioned... To me they don't reveal any major knowledge deficit on his part. Since we have no...

  17. This person outranks me?!

    macawake replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the focus during those two additional years was learning all abbreviations in various medical specialties, nor should it have been. From what I remember from my BSN obstetrics classes we...

  18. Inappropriate Behavior?

    macawake replied to chesanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Asking whether it's ethical or not isn't the question I'd ask. To me it's a question of whether it's the smart and appropriate thing to do. I completely agree with amoLucia's post and also what Sour...

  19. I want to like my preceptor, but...

    macawake replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your new job OC! :) I'm going to share my thoughts on your post and if you at any point feel like I'm being harsh or unfair, please know this is exactly the advice I would offer you had...

  20. Many nurses do not chart?

    macawake replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    (my bold) Reading your post I have to wonder if perhaps you chart excessively. You say that you've been leaving late at all five (!) places of employment and that everyone else in all these places...

  21. A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    macawake replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, thank you! And right back at you :inlove: I'm kind of sensing that you aren't inclined to discuss this with me I was really hoping that you would bring some clarity to the claims you made....

  22. A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    macawake replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100 % OP, I read your post yesterday but I didn't have time to respond. I knew as soon as I started reading it that it would generate a lot of friction. But I think you made several good...

  23. Ethical Dilemma

    macawake replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    OP, is this how you turned in your assignment? Or is it an abridged version? I'm not a native English speaker so I might be missing some of the finer points/misreading this, but these are my 2 cents...

  24. nursing

    macawake replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Why, yes... It makes the non-caring painless I hate to admit it, but I actually miss his posts... They were quite

  25. Memorizing drug interactions!

    macawake replied to Banana nut's topic in General Students

    Careful, unless you want other posters to perceive you as being arrogant. People are taking time to answer your post and you shouldn't assume that you know what knowledge they have or don't have. I...
