    MassED replied to WittleOnesRN's topic in General Nursing

    give me a break about the Estrogen comments - not all female nurses are filled with so much drama - there are many who are laid back, just maybe not at your facility. Perhaps those laid back, estrogen...

    MassED replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't going to get it, but then this past weekend at work, the nurse happened to be there who was giving the shots - so I got it. Just a matter of convenience really. No side effects - it was...

    TNS or CEN?

    MassED replied to TZRNER's topic in Emergency

    that's nice you get a pay bump for that. I got my BSN and my hospital didn't provide any salary increase for that, nor do they for CEN. Even though for a level 2 trauma center they want to have all...

    Nurses with tattoos, is it acceptable?

    MassED replied to sweetlyn_violet's topic in General Nursing

    well it's going to look as the rest of the body will - unattractive. So what if the tattoos look bad, it'll just detract from the other sagging/wrinkled parts! I crack up at those women who have...

    Nurses with tattoos, is it acceptable?

    MassED replied to sweetlyn_violet's topic in General Nursing

    why would any professional in a working environment ever see a tattoo on your shoulder blade? I can't see how it's anyone's business - if you could see that, then you would be wearing inappropriate...

    are southern nurses better educated than northern educated nurse?

    MassED replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I was educated in Washington state - so not sure about the north and the south, but I now work in Massachusetts with substandard technology. I had worked in North Carolina, in a rural ER, that had...

    I re-read the post to which you responded - I know it's not the OP, and I'm still not clear on your logic. I read that post, to which you replied, as that the resident should treat patients with...

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    that's kindof my point. Misinformation is out there - the media doesn't help. We're not getting all of the information from the news sources, so that adds to confusion. I definitely can understand as...
