1. I want to quit

   openyourmind replied to anonrn1's topic in Nursing Career

   Someone mentioned vit D difficiency and I too had that problem. A lot of what you are describing reminded me of how I was feeling. What I did was take some vitamin D and I would sit out in the sun for...

2. Do you like nursing?

   openyourmind replied to Wutermelon's topic in General Nursing

   Mmm, I think what is good to keep in mind is to take what people say with a grain of salt. A lot come online to vent/express negative views. Edit: This doesn't mean the complaints aren't valid, but...

4. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Although this is off-topic and the OP has had her question answered multiple times, I think it's important that a nurse or other healthcare professional, or in this case, a nursing student stay humble...

5. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Did you just call people who work in food service cheap? Those people service people. Much like a nurse services people. If you can read I was making an analogy and not comparing those who work in...

6. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Again, I do not see why a person who is adamantly anti-choice, would look into applying at a job that may carry out such procedures and request their employer to opt out of them. It's like if someone...

   Perhaps a nurse or even a lawyer on this forum who is knowledgable on abortion laws can shed some light on the subject. Either way, I'm grateful for nurses who don't judge women for the right to...

8. How to get a job working with babies

   openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I imagine that law was placed when a place of employ did not perform these procedures, decided they should add it. In that case, it wouldn't be fair to the people working there who applied to the job...

   A nurse whose purpose is just to advocate for the patient is bias? The only law that protects your beliefs that I know of is the right to freedom of religion. That doesn't mean everyone else needs to...

10. How to get a job working with babies

    openyourmind replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was illustrating a point on how you very clearly wrote "I do not care what you believe" to the nurse, because you were the patient. So why is it hard to believe that patients you may be treating...

    You received a circumcision? Or felt this vicariously through your child? Either way, your child didn't have a choice whether or not he wanted to be circumcised. YOU made that decision and the...

13. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    openyourmind replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are so strong. At the end of the day overworking people boils down to money. Sigh! I don't see what's the point? What's going to happen when people start to leave because of understaffed...

14. Addressing patients by their first name...

    openyourmind replied to tytkhat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First name basis is on a personal level to me. I'd address as Mr. or Mrs./Ms. I guess it really is a regional

15. How did you change?

    openyourmind replied to openyourmind's topic in General Nursing

    I'm leaning towards something and hoping it's not a far-fetched goal. But I also am keeping an open mind in case there's other options for me. These posts are definitely interesting.
