    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Emergent replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nurse too. I work in a really cool ER, much cooler than other jobs. All my previous jobs were super cool and important too. I'm actually a legend in my own mind, I'm so

    You nursing instructor lives outside of the time/space continuum apparently. She should be mandated to do a breakdown of required tasks, charting, pillow fluffing, figuring in 60 minutes per hour....

    So TIRED OF IT

    Emergent replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Old nurse won't retire

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    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

    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...

    Emergent replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    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...

    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...
