  1. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    TheGooch replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Great post but I feel it falls on deaf ears. Like I said bullies rarely believe they are bullies. The people on this thread who keep trying to say the term is overused and who feel the need to attack...

  2. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    TheGooch replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting that she is telling you to "take the high road here. Model mature behavior. Debate your point of view without resorting to put downs or slam dunks" When she is the one that started a...

  3. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    TheGooch replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh I get it now! Someone else started a thread in which they implied they were being bullied and it got you mad so you decided to start another thread to tell the the people on All Nurses how...

  4. If people make me feel bad, I've been bullied

    TheGooch replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Interesting thread. Bullies don't recognize that they are bullies. It's just the way they are and are the most vocal when it comes to pointing out how misused the word

  5. Students asking for free money

    TheGooch replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    I guess he felt he was "entitled" to it because he is a disable veteran. She was raising money for her treatment yet he also had to put on the site how he was a disabled veteran and how little he...

  6. Students asking for free money

    TheGooch replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    I don't donate to those things. I did once-the young girl had a mito disease and was trying to raise money to go to the UK for some experimental treatment. She passed away a couple of weeks after...

  7. Students asking for free money

    TheGooch replied to l.a.m.b's topic in General Students

    Yeah, threads have a way of popping up again after they've been closed due to fighting. My personal favorites though are the ones asking why the previous ones on the same subject were closed. Or...

  8. Yes, hospital accommodations are luxurious Bed and Breakfast.

    TheGooch replied to Joe V's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You should have taken them with you-all the other stuff-since it was part of the "hotel"

  9. Yes, hospital accommodations are luxurious Bed and Breakfast.

    TheGooch replied to Joe V's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seriously, one of the hospitals where I live is turning all their rooms into private ones. They want to give the patients the "feel" that they are in a

  10. Area of nursing with greatest amount of vomit

    TheGooch replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Nursing

    I think this thread is just a way for someone to poke fun at the person who started the other thread. That person seems to be preoccupied with bodily

  11. Unhappy Hospital

    TheGooch replied to lilbitgeeky's topic in General Nursing

    Someone did reply to that

  12. Any RN'S that did PA?

    TheGooch replied to roxystarfire's topic in General Students

  13. The Story of Jahi Continues

    TheGooch replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

  14. Hired at an employer I owe a medical bill to.

    TheGooch replied to FinallyRNStatus's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unpaid debts stay on your credit file for 7 years then they are removed. There is a statute of limitations on how long the debt can be collected. After the SOL passes and you are still receiving...

  15. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    TheGooch replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've found it to be the people who are the most intolerant are the ones who preach tolerance. They believe in tolerance as long as people are expressing THEIR point of

  16. Pierce County, Washington nurses suing over mandatory flu shots

    TheGooch replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in General Nursing

    I know the local hospitals where I live terminated some employees for refusing to get

  17. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    TheGooch replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's not a lot of options for a cervical disc herniation after you've tried all conservative treatments. Unlike the back you have a better chance of becoming paralyzed if you have a car accident or...

  18. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    TheGooch replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone who has had the surgery and not a medical person I will give you some advice. The recovery is long. I had to wear a collar for 6 weeks 24/7 then another 6 weeks for showering and while in...

  19. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    TheGooch replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually the person you corrected is correct. It is "do matter" because she wrote it in a way that it is actually one

  20. Is PACU (recovery room?) good door to OR?

    TheGooch replied to tarotale's topic in PACU

    The OP doesn't carry a stethoscope so how are they supposed to do an assessment. IMO the OP wants an easy nursing job and after only observing one interaction in the PACU she thinks it fits the bill...

  21. Complaining about your employer, loudly, at nurses' station

    TheGooch replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, at least you have a job.That's what I say to anyone who complains about their

    TheGooch replied to greenerpastures's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The OP was venting-no need for the snark from

  23. What is the proper way to address an RN?

    TheGooch replied to planetoi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Patient Rights stipulate that a patient has the right to know who is involved in their treatment. What you guys fail to understand is that if someone really wants to know who you are and where you...

  24. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

    TheGooch replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's so entertaining to read threads like this-ones that talk about why another thread on the same topic was closed because it got heated. That was my point-not whether it was about nurses who eat...

  25. Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

    TheGooch replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A "crazy" person doesn't need your full name to look you up. All they have to do is wait outside of where you work and follow you home to get your address. In most cities you an look at property...
