    If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    When more than one person has the same perception it's time to look in the mirror. But, I see that you aren't really receptive to it so we might as well stop discussing it. Maybe you can start a...

    RN With Contamination OCD - Please Help!

    This whole covid situation has definitely fed germophobia in the society as a whole. It has really fanned the flames and it almost feels like the germaphobes have taken over the world. I was...

    If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    I think this was meant to be a lighthearted thread, and macawake posted a long, self congratulatory response about his or her excellent abilities to deliver non-judgmental patient care in a superior...

    Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    Covid-19 was definitely the straw that broke my back. I'm done with nursing, I am working at a farm store now for $15 an hour and I am so grateful for it. I also refuse to ever be a patient in the...

    RN With Contamination OCD - Please Help!

    I think it's important to maintain one's general health, with proper diet and a lot of rest. Once I got the vaccine was totally loose about the precautions because I figured, if I was exposed to a...

    I assume you all know that the lack of exposure to pathogens leaves the immune system confused, and contributes to the development of autoimmune disorders and
  9. I agree on the movie. Not the greatest and totally sophomoric. The subject matter deserves a much darker and realistic approach. Some of the mutant movies of the 1980s did better justice to this type...

  11. I don't think we have much evolution these days. In fact, the medical system contributes to the degradation of the human gene pool. You basically have more functional people having smaller families...

    No conscience

    Yes, sociopathy is a brain disorder. Or, perhaps a normal variation in human brain activity. It is one that can put someone into criminal activity, but some sociopaths just slide through life living...
  14. People make their choices and live with the consequences. If a person has a stubborn personality they are going to show it. This is nothing new, we've had people who can't control their eating habits,...

    I'm not a germaphobe, and I do think germaphobes are a little extreme sometimes. But, if doing these rituals helps you feel more comfortable, it's not like it's going to hurt anybody unless you are...

    I'm Not Going To Be A Nurse!

    How can you not know how to use spellcheck at the very least. I've even seen the affect/effect mixup in news articles. So annoying. And, don't get me started on

    I'm Not Going To Be A Nurse!

    My son had a bike accident and required surgery and a short hospital stay. I was working doing finishing in a cabinet shop at the time and also selling some artwork. I observed the nurses and thought,...

    I have an idea, let's treat our core staff like crap, let's put up with our laziest staff members, let's drive hard-working people away, then we can hire high-priced agency nurses, that should solve...

    Lost Item

    I think you're being superstitious. You probably lost it because you had a lot on your mind. I used to wear my nursing pin to one job that I had, and I left it on top of my car or it fell off in the...

    Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    You have to be tough to be in nursing. It's a rough profession with a lot of rough people. It's high pressure, and you definitely can't survive if you aren't a little

    If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    You Pollyannas are putting a damper on this thread. Seriously, is this the time and place to toot your own horn about your holiness and the healthcare system in your country of origin? Don't you...
