Your professor could have gone on to explain to you that there are reasons for the dress code beyond just "optics". But you might have considered that too elementary, if not insulting. But remember, long nails of any kind can scratch a patient...or d...

Just what we all needed, more regulations and more documentation . Some people who didn't have insurance before, now have it. Other people who previously had insurance have had their private policies dropped without warning and now are faced with hig...

I went to nursing school ages ago and am now retired. But some things seem not to change. My class was told from the beginning that half of us would not make it. They were precisely correct. Some instructors were kind and encouraging, some told us re...

I so agree with SionainnRN. I wish there was a list of things to say that WOULD be helpful for healthcare workers to say in a situation like yours, CountryMomma. I don't believe anyone meant to be hurtful. But people are not all alike in what they co...

Missingyou, I know this thread is for students, but as a nurse of many years, I felt perhaps my perspective could help. I imagine you were told that working as a CNA would teach you alot about nursing. I think you HAVE learned a lot...not necessarily...

Working as a CNA prepares you for one important aspect of nursing that should not be overlooked! It involves supervising and teaching those for whom you are responsible (since they work under your license as an R.N.) And that involves CNAs. When you ...

Heathermaizy, What people think of you now or after you become an R.N., is a totally invalid reason to work as a CNA. You think you know what nursing school and being a nurse is about, because you did your "homework" and had your "eyes wide open". T...

Hobby Lobby is NOT a PUBLICALLY TRADED company, so you will not find it listed on any stock exchange. ALL the stock is held by family members. This was one of the requirements of SCOTUS for this exception. They said their decision would apply ONLY t...

I agree Saysfaa. that "liberals dominate education and the media which results in slogans and catch phrases from liberals and explanations from conservatives." Few Liberals, when they ask your Conservative opinion, really want to know. So while you a...

Toomuchbaloney. Sorry. I misused the word "blog". I meant "thread". The original message was about having a " "conservative nurse forum" What if the "conservative" isn't interested in explaining their opinions AGAIN to a Liberal whose only goal is no...

I agree, I'd rather just do my job when I'm at work. I don't discuss politics at work because it just doesn't help teamwork as a rule. I don't mind debate when I'm on my own time.

d'cm. If I had time and space I would talk about the "general welfare of the People". I guess you have already decided that the ACA meets that requirement (and probably other things as well). I believe "general welfare" doesn't necessarily mean gover...

Otessa, I agree. I never have joined the ANA for the same reason (and I was a nurse for MANY years) Funny, how normally well mannered people, even nurses, don't mind disparaging (a polite word) co/workers whose politics are different then theirs. Thi...

tralalaRN You are an example of why some may feel they want a "conservative blog"! We don't need to hear liberal-speak again....and again...and again. We have heard it all already. And it usually assumes that conservatives are so inept that they don'...

If employment with Hobby Lobby is a condition of receiving a certain health insurance policy, they must be paying for it. Remember there is a hearty fine by the US Government for companies that don't follow the ACA guidelines insurance. Sounds like t...

No, wooh, I meant what I said, My doctor and me. And if I worked for Hobby Lobby I would have read what their policy covers. I'd buy my own IUD (if that's what I wanted). It's not that big a deal. Brandon, When did I make "a big deal" of of my religo...

Malamud69 When looking for a job, I do NOT intend to investigate the foreign entities upon which my prospective employer relies. I expect any successful company to operate on a free-trade basis. What country do you suggest Hobby Lobby buy from? If y...

Who, in this argument, is talking about the "judgement of God"? I've heard no mention of that from Hobby Lobby. What on earth makes you think "gun laws" have anytyhing to do with "womens's rights"? I don't notice that being 'pro-death penalty' has a...

I see no reason why Jehova's Witnesses or Christian Scientists should be included in this mandate. The religious prohibitions they adhere to apply ONLY to members of their particular Faith. Wheras the main reason for Hobby Lobby's objection is that i...

I think it is a mistake to call mature patients by their first name. It's also a mistake to assume they don't mind (they may be just too polite to object.) I remember my mother, at 88yrs old, chastising a young doctor for calling her "Marie". It was ...

Terms such as "Miss Jane" and "Mr. Bob" are very common in the South, as well. Although, this is uncommonly used on first meeting. I've never known a patient who reacted negatively to that, as it's almost a term of endearment.. However, oddly, you wo...

It probably was ONE of the hardest nights of your career. It's a good way to begin, because now you know you CAN rise to the occasion when there is a disaster or things out of control in the hospital, outside, or both. You've learned that your patien...

The commuter says: " Another goal of a for-profit school is to generate profits. It is the profit margin that enables these schools to stay in business and keep shareholders appeased." Of course, that's what "for-profit" means! But, they will certain...
