  1. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    Would you care for the patient without proper education/PPE?
  2. I believe we just don't know much at this point. For example, why has none of the family contacted it, yet 2 nurses here get it? The family doesn't wear PPE do they? Is it only "some" who get it due to their weak/strong immune system? If it's not a...
  3. Leaving nursing...now what??

    I went to DME company. I do education and rarely do any assessments. Pay is about equiv to LVN but who cares I've been doing it for about 4 years and very little stress. More money doesn't mean happy life!
  4. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    At least a job you can walk away from.
  5. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    We have the right as nurses not to take on an assignment/task/procedure if we have not been fully trained and checked off on, or comfortable with. Why? Because we might harm a patient or ourselves with our lack of knowledge and lack of experience. Th...
  6. My funniest was when I had a sun-downers/dementia pt on M/S walking the floor on night shift. I said "come on, let's go to bed...and this senior pt ran back to bed, and said okay you can get on top" LOL
  7. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    I wanted to invite you to the political forum too...it's interesting over there!
  8. What shoes do you wear?

    Hands down for me are the light weight anywears!
  9. Nurse with anxiety/depression

    When my kids were little, I went through PPD and then horrible anxiety and panic attacks set in. I was a mess. I had to take a leave of absence. I was a registration clerk at the time before I started nursing. I think you can do it but you may not...
  10. The man lied to the American's 29 times "if you like your plan, you can keep it period"
  11. Correct, no politician would dream of destroying Medicare because they wouldn't get the votes. But the sad thing is that by 2024 it's on track to be done! It can't keep going when less it put in then goes out. So unfortunately, the money that I am...
  12. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    perhaps she meant admire??
  13. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    Unfortunately, people are actually so narrow-minded that they buy a pill if a girl looks skinny in her skinny jeans...and they think they could look like her. I disagree with you!
  14. I am laughing so hard I am nearly Poopin myself!!!
  15. The ones that have yelled the loudest at me are those dependent on narcs...sorry to say. None have done anything about it they just mouth off!
  16. I have been a nurse since 95. I did birthing, M/S, allergies, ICU, wound clinic...and too disliked it so much! You know what burned me out? The non grateful people who want to take take take and not put any effort in to help themselves. I hate to ...
  17. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    I agree. We can't force people to change. But if they see a change in those they like, it may help to encourage at least.
  18. How do you think this will affect your nursing life and others?
  19. It's going to be very interesting...to say the least!
  20. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    Bad health is affecting our Country badly. It's a topic most people don't want to talk about. Although I think we should be respectful to one another, I still think it's important!
  21. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    Much truth to what you are saying and as much as I want to agree with you...patients have eyes and judge the heck out of us. Just look at all of the commercials with beautiful people. If we had a bunch of diseased ridden, obese people trying to sel...
  22. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    They can say all they want...but people watch and smell unfortunately:-)
  23. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    Or you could just be thin because you work your tail off:-)
  24. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    I am a nurse with a learning disability...and I agree...didn't even notice it until it was made a huge deal of.
  25. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    You can have rice...just switch to brown and add some legumes to it:-)
