I hope you are very young and that you spend many many years being what you appear to be. Nursing needs you desperately and needs you to influence as many others as you can through your presence. If you truly believe what your words say then I pra...

I have just decided to leave nursing. Just 2 days ago in fact, my family and I sat down and made that decision together after I had been in bed for 3 weeks with mono and strep. I"ll be 53 years old in a few weeks and I have "MONO". I am the nurse th...

I think we are getting awfully "puffy" in the head if we think that Flo should be tossed to the curb. Why is it that when something progresses we immediately want to disregard the founders of the institution? The struggles she faced and the courage...

"That Florence Nightengale stuff" Yeah, we wouldn't want to listen to her.... after all... What does she know about nursing?

"Abnormal Lifestyle" ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Please give us the definetion of a "Normal Lifestyle" As far as I know...Normal is a setting on my washing machine. That's about it. Shame on you

No Baby, You will be the better nurse at this point unless she developes some empathy. That is one of the battles that we must fight as nurses in our selves. I really think that you understand what is being promoted here. From what you say, You a...

Amen Sister! :groupwelcome: I believe I've always been a member. Life is so much easier when we stick to the simple truths.

Hey, every now and then I get something right.

I am getting that corvette guy is saying that anal sex presents it's own problems even in a monogams relationship, could that be right corvette guy?

I was wondering if there were some PDN's out there who could give me some advice. I have worked private duty peds in home for the past 8 years, I work through an agency but would like to know how it works when you are on your own. How do you fin...

Oh heck no, you're not alone by any means. And here's what I think...What a healthy way to relieve stress. Other than a headache now and then from crying , it's the best way to clean away and freshen up. Just like a good rain. Did you ever see the...

Thank you very much James, you gave me some places to start.

I'm not sure this is fair. This poster is asking a question concerning the wellfair of people. That shows me that she has the patients welfare utmost in mind. No where did she say that we should not act in an emergency when needed. She only questi...

How about if we agree as a group that most of the people that have posted here do believe that LPN's are nurses and that there are some people who do not. Furthermore, How about if we agree as LPN's that it is unimportant to us whether everyone beli...

Please do not choose nursing. Your focus, from what you say is not on nursing but on how much money you will make. This should not be the reason anyone becomes a nurse. In My Opinion only, You may be a wonderful person and I am not taking anything...

As I read through this thread I begin to see a pattern, this has something to do with being 29?....maybe? But seriously, being overloaded is enough to do this to you. Your brain can only hold so much and soon the overflow is lost . However I do thin...

Mother Theresa said it best: People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self centered; Forgive them anyway! If you are kind people may accuse you of selfish, unterior motives; Be kind anyway! If you are sucessful you will win some false friends an...

I see this topic as only a symptom of the larger problem in the big picture. "We really need to support one another..." Yes! Yes! Everyday in all we do we need to support each other as human beings in this world trying to learn and grow together....

How do I say this.... See here's the deal... I became a nurse so I could care for and nurse people who needed someone to care for and nurse them. I have been doing that since 1974. Being an LPN has not prevented me from doing that. Getting an RN woul...

:thankya: :thankya: and what's more ...Thank Ya! Spoken like a true human being.

Yes, I had a similar experience for about 17 years at one facility and had many of the responsibilities that you have mentioned. At one point when the admin. and assist. admin were both gone, I was given the keys and was in charge because the DON we...

OH MY! Yes this has to be fixed... We can't have something like that occuring. If this makes you mad as hell you might want to take a look at what is going on around the world, listen to the news and find something to really get your feathers ruf...

You are so right, in my younger years I used to THINK that seeing was believing. Now that I'm old, I KNOW that believing is seeing.

:thankya: Now if a few HUNDRED BILLION more people could really live their lives this way we may actually get somewhere.

Well, that's interesting, not sure why but when I saw them I thought of Flubber,lol. Btw, Love your artwork Roy.
