    Generation Z

    Emergent replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    2 of my kids are under 25. They are hard working and frugal. They are on their phones less than me. They support themselves entirely. They have a lot more sense than I had at that

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Emergent replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I once went to the store accidentally leaving my 21mo old son at home. I brought the other son who was 4. I got to the store and realized I only had one son and ran home. He was playing

    I'm more annoyed by the nurses who think they are Mother Teresa. They are self righteous Polyannas. You can't even complain about irritating patients around them, they are too saintly for

    Walmart is building housing in the greater Seattle area and squeezing the lifeblood out of tenants. The whole real estate market is going bananas again, with big profits for huge

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Probably none. I do think that more conservative folks feel that big government liberalism is making life more unaffordable for the middle class. One thing is, the liberal policies of catering and...

    Emergent replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    A excerpt from one of my many vintage books, this one called "The Intimate Life" copyright 1926. I have earlier medical advisors from the late 1800s that all have chapters on the dangers of...
