    Old nurse won't retire

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm bored with this thread but will make one more comment. First of all, I'm not ageist, I'm over 60 myself. I'm extremely fit due to the fact that I take excellent care of myself, but I really don't...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Just an update. I have talked many times with Barbara before about the subject of retirement. She once told me to let her know if she's not keeping up. I've texted her twice, now I'll leave her in...

    Old nurse won't retire

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I texted a hello to Barbara, she ignored. Didn't want to just call her. She and I have socialized a bit out of work. But sometimes she gives me the cold shoulder and won't respond. I suspect she's...

    I thought that the Jewish bankers, led by the Rothchilds, were the one seeking global domination via the trilateral commission!? It's really the Russian led antivaxers? Thanks for alerting

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I wasn't defending people against vaccination in the least. Did you read the article in full? It explains why there was a dramatic increase in polio in the 20th century, the probable cause being the...

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The woman's opinions on vaccination is really irrelevant to the case. There are two items that I see where she is grievously in the wrong . A) Posting a highly controversial and unethical statement on...

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is such an emotion issue for many. I was talking to my guitar teacher. They were advised to avoid vaccinations for one of their sons who has seizures. He mentioned this to the mother of a friend...

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You seem very angry regarding my statement. I got curious. I found a fascinating article about polio. It wasn't common before the 20th century. The article hypothesizes that prior to that,...

    Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, she deserved to be fired. I want to say, I don't approve of the vitriol toward the anti-vaccination movement. It strikes me as almost jihadist in its tone, and only serves to escalate...

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This nurse needs a mental health evaluation. Her line of thinking is bizarre. It makes no sense. Back in the day, we did purposely expose our kids to chicken pox. I did it with my 4 boys. This was to...

    A nurse with a difficult name??

    My transfer nurse advisor says I won't make it !

    Emergent replied to chichimel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One piece of advice I'll give is to pay closer attention to your writing. Your opening statement here is grammatically atrocious. Your poll doesn't make one bit of sense. If this reflects the general...

    It very well may have been a hostile work environment. But, this sounds like an unbalanced, maladjusted woman. Otherwise she would have found a better job with nicer coworkers, and meanwhile coped...
