    Your son has gotten his wake up call. Binge drinking is considered alcohol abuse, regardless of what your son and his friends like to tell themselves. And no one gets a GI bleed from a stomach...

  4. vomiting blood and alcohol

    grannynurse FNP student replied to krisssy's topic in Emergency

    Your son is a chronic drinker. A lot say they are not because they only binge drink. Bringing drinking is chronic drinking. And he could be suffering from gastritis and that is most likely why he...

  5. "I'm going to sue you", What do you say?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Funny, both times I was sued, I was not forewarned. By the way, I was dropped from one suit. The other one it took a judge to dismiss. Thank heavens I had my own attorney, provided by my own...

  11. Returning to ICU after a Back injury?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Catfish RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not only is your employer unlikely to allow you back but as a former rehab nurse, I would strongly advise against any attempt given your injuries. You are risking too much.

  12. Dual state income taxes?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to SteveNNP's topic in New York Nursing

    Hate to tell you this but if you work in the city, you also pay NYC income tax as well. I am unaware of any NYS or NYC employer deducting NJ taxes as well. You need to go to the NJS website for the...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Catfish RN's topic in General Nursing

  14. NYC MTA Strike

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm afraid it is up to the union workers to decide the salaries of their leaders. And not us, members of the general public. And the hit on the head I suffered, as well as the general pushing and...

  17. Whose resposibility is it to ask a patient..

    grannynurse FNP student replied to joeyrush's topic in General Nursing

  19. NYC MTA Strike

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Ari RN's topic in New York Nursing

    I find it funny that some are saying the MTA has a billion dollar surplus. It is not the city's money but the unions'. They are restricted by law, on how those funds may be spent. But getting back...
