    macenroe posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Does anyone celebrate both? I do, and was just curious if anyone else did, as

  2. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    macenroe replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have read, this person has been a nurse for several years now. Why is this bothering you

  3. Childhood Obesity: Breaking the Cycle

    macenroe replied to cynboys's topic in Patient Education

    While I agree that childhood obesity is on the rise, I don't think that having restrictions on television advertisements is the answer. Who determines what is appropriate and what isn't? How far...

  4. Why can't we have 12 hour shifts and 8 hours shifts?

    macenroe replied to ziplag's topic in General Nursing

    Many of the nursing homes in my area are transitioning to 12 hour shifts. I think that it is going to become more and more common, for many places, and not just hospitals. I personally like the 12...

  5. I hate night shift

    macenroe replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I was just curious if you have separation issues from your husband, when he has to work and it's your day off. If you do, then that could be a problem. But, if you only feel this way...

  7. Does. Anyone like their CNA job??

    macenroe replied to Cathylady's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am a CNA and work in a hospital setting. Most days, I do like my job. I have been a CNA for 12 years. Around here, it is very hard for a brand new CNA to get work in a hospital, unless they are...

  8. Accusations of verbal abuse! Now what happens?

    macenroe replied to ltc2lpn's topic in General Nursing

    Without details, it's hard to form an

  9. Should I let my manager beat me at Trivia Crack

    macenroe replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you would certainly have an advantage over her. You're alive, and

  10. White pants. Freaking white pants.

    macenroe replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When I was doing my CNA clinicals and classes, we had to wear white pants. I didn't think too much about it. I invested a little bit into the scrubs, to get a good quality pant, that wasn't see...

  11. Does anybody else feel guilty about calling off?

    macenroe replied to Codeblue1982's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is how it's been at any place I have ever worked too. Multiple sick days in a row, counted as one sick day. If employees were sick for three or more days in a row, they had to bring in a...

  12. Yesterday

    macenroe replied to Vtachy1's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm surprised that it took that long for you to find a person that declared themselves an atheist. Although I am a Christian, I have met many folks over the years, that weren't. It doesn't scare me,...

  13. Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    macenroe replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Again, I was just trying to make a point. But I can see that you missed

  14. Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    macenroe replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Although I am not a bible scholar, I grew up with a religious background. Many of my family members are involved in the church. I myself, attend church when I am able. I am also involved in a bible...

  15. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    macenroe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have come to the conclusion that I work in a very boring environment. Granted, I live and work in a very small town, so I guess my coworkers and I don't have access to "the finer things in life"....

  16. Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    macenroe replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This sounds like it was taken directly from Wilkapedia. If it was, Wilkapedia is not known as a very reliable source of information. Schizophrenia is a illness that affects the brain and can be...

  17. Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    macenroe replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't mind when folks discuss religion at work. In all honesty though, it's not really an issue where I work. Coworkers might talk about a dish that they took to a potluck church supper that...

  18. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    macenroe replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that the disability program was started for a good reason. But over the years, the system has been abused. I think that there needs to be a stronger clarification of what justifies as a true...

  20. So Frustrated I Could Cry..

    macenroe replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    My workplace has a strict policy of missing time, especially when it falls on a weekend. If a person wants a particular weekend off, that they would normally be scheduled to work, there is a certain...

  21. Nurses, do you exercise?

    macenroe replied to nurseling's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I try to do some form of exercise on a daily basis. Whether it be walking, biking or yoga. I tend to get bored with the same type of exercise every day, so I like to mix the routine up a bit. My...

  22. How do you cheer yourself after a bad day at work?

    macenroe replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I take a long ride on my

  23. Of Nursing, Nudity and Public Perception

    macenroe replied to hagiospneuma's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP; your opinions of nurses are very juvenile. I suspect that you are a troll, who is getting bored with summer vacation. I noticed that you just joined AN today. Why? Just so you could...

  24. nursing & tattoos

    macenroe replied to SN2014's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any tattoos, and have never wanted one. To me, they just look painful. That being said, I think that it's more important on what's on the inside of a person then what is on the outside....

  25. Keep my cell phone......or landline

    macenroe replied to Vwpenn's topic in General Nursing

    I have both a cell phone and a land line. Work doesn't have my cell phone number, and if they need to get in touch with me, they call my land phone and leave a message. I live in a fairly remote...
