Organic food makes you immortal, I guess :) In all seriousness, if you have evidence/research that organic consumers live longer or don't get sick or ill as often as the rest of us I'd love to see it. I'm open to changing my mind.

Holy long-windedness, Batman. So.many logical fallacies, so little time.

Then I guess we'll have to stay away from passion fruit. It's a shame cause I like passion fruit. It is commonly processed into juice for consumption. According to Chan et al. (1972) , this fruit is highly acidic and it contains good source of niacin...

You dare question that bastion of scientific knowledge and moral integrity known as Putin?

You know what's both ironic and a little hilarious at the same time? Not only do "organic" farmers use pesticides, just like evil GMO farmers do...but they actually have to use them in greater quantities because "natural" pesticides are not as effect...

Your decision of having or not having a baby does not potentially risk the health of vulnerable patients. I don't get the analogy.

"Your anger is better aimed in the proper direction. Email you representative to close our borders...rather than be insulting to few of us who prefer a natural lifestyle. Take care." Lol, yes don't criticize me for my anti-scientific beliefs, ...blam...

This thread was a trip. And Dinah77 is my hero,

Hi, guys; I'm planning to relocate to SF (from Jersey), but I need to convince the wife that the move makes financial sense. So, I just wanted to know what I could expect to get paid per hour as an in-house/per diem/7 years of experience RN in the B...

Anyone know of any openings? I'm here now on a travel contract but still very interested in per diem gigs.

Thanks, Paco. Phoenix and Denver are 2 places I'm curious about, and I've been to neither so it would be great.

Looking for ideas, fellow travelers. My current contract ends in April, after a year of working at a NJ hospital, and 5 years of 'traveling' in NY/NJ (I met my wife in the area so I didn't get to travel elsewhere like I originally intended to.) I'm g...

Jesus. That may be the single most negative post I've read on AllNurses, and I've been a member for like 10 years. A newbie reading something like that would be terrified of traveling. I hope they know that some of us have had much more positive expe...

I've been working contracts here in NJ for about a year and you can add terrible staffing ratios to that, at least in Medsurg. I thought I might have been unlucky with the 2 hospitals I have been to (Overlook and Chilton, both ran by Atlantic Network...

I'm from Miami and worked there for 3 years before I started traveling, and can tell you that what Ned said is right on the money. There are better places to travel to, but I understand that you have your heart set on Florida (same as I did with NYC....

All you guys on this thread are hard core. Hats off to you all.

I have been traveling for almost 5 years (total of 8 of experience) and all 5 have been in the NY-NJ area. Met my wife in NY and that's why I never ended up leaving and touring the country like I had originally planned. Don't make that same mistake l...

Evidence please? I like your tin foil hat. You do know how insane you sound, yes? No, I guess you don't.

A full moon has absolutely zero effect on whether a shift will be good or not. It's nothing but a superstition.

Whether they are more or less popular I don't know, but I do know that the truth of a claim is not affected in any way by how many people believe it. I would have to disagree. It's about what the evidence suggests works, not about what people want...

If there is money to be made from a possible cancer cure investors would be lining up from here to the moon. Really? What type of cancer, all of them? Because they're not all the same, you know? Different cancer types would require different treatm...

Wow. That is a whole lot of crap in just 5 lines. Yes, alternative "medicine" is old, so what? Something being old does not make it true or effective. Look up the argument from antiquity. The main reason we live longer than ever before in human hist...

Try 1-8 with occasionally no PCT/Aide here in NJ, and when we do have one it is one for the entire floor (about 30 patients). And of those 8, I frequently have 4 or 5 total cares (I wish I were exaggerating), so even when we do have that one aide, th...

I'm not a math genius but I'm pretty sure 54% > 0%. Also as healthcare providers we have the moral obligation to do everything possible to protect those we provide care for, not to mention our own families.

Cool. Thanks again, guys.
