    Were you a bully in high school?

    NurseSpeedy replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t know if nursing is prone to bullies. I’ve seen both types over almost 20 years in the field. I think a lot of us have very strong personalities and opinions and sometimes if they clash...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    NurseSpeedy replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. My daughter is probably the sweetest child when it comes to being around other kids, but if you upset her she’d get you back. Right before the pandemic her classmate had insulted her...

    Physician Spreads Dis-Information: License Revoked

    NurseSpeedy replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Believe me, as soon as I have my records out of his office for the next doc I’ll be doing just that. I’m very surprised he hasn’t been shut down

    Physician Spreads Dis-Information: License Revoked

    NurseSpeedy replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Can’t fix stupid. I am in the process of finding a new primary care doctor. Mine refuses to wear a mask, is not vaccinated, tells those who are vaccinated that they will die within 2 years but if...

    Wake Up! It's Your Day Off.

    NurseSpeedy replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I remember those days. Got pulled over one day because I actually was driving faster than I realized on my way to work. Officer noticed my scrubs, said he had a lot of coworkers who had to go there...

    Can’t believe I had to explain that. . .

    NurseSpeedy replied to T-Bird78's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had to explain where babies came from and why a couple didn’t have one yet….try doing that in a kind, caring, and sympathetic way. Yes, we can help you, but have you tried

    My mom thought that’s what it stood for….although she still does not have a cell phone or know how to use the internet so…..personal choice to live in the dark

    President's New Mandates For Everyone

    NurseSpeedy replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think if a PCR test was required weekly for being unvaccinated there may be a lot more getting vaccinated to avoid that huge cotton swab. I am fully vaccinated as of February 2021 and I had a URI in...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    NurseSpeedy replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe we can worry about that more once we deal with the more pressing topic at hand? A vaccine takes a few weeks to complete. Severe life changes will take months or years and some people won’t...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    NurseSpeedy replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My logic and critical thinking are perfectly intact. There are plenty of heterosexuals with HIV. I’ve had to call them with their results. The statement was completely bigoted and offensive and...

    NurseSpeedy replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know I didn’t read this one right…there’s no way in hell these are being compared to the transmission of COVID19….and the first example mentioned….HIV is not primarily restricted to that

    NurseSpeedy replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I did not mean it to come out as it did. I’m just on the receiving end of numerous phone calls asking for a vaccine exemption that we have no reason to issue and will not issue, yet the argument...

    Hey, I’m vaccinated and pissed off that my poor kid has had to stay home and virtually schooled since March 2020 and had no human interaction outside of close, also vaccinated family members because...

    Am I the only person who thinks if we hadn’t politicized the crud out of this damn vaccine and virus that MAYBE more people would of been wanting and willing to get vaccinated? That maybe the...

    Oops, I double checked that alphabet chart and the spelling of the persons first name. (Never trust closed captioning) Mu, Nu, Xi…need new names soon-hoping it won’t get that

    It looks like an X, but is pronounced Chi. Delta looks like a triangle but is pronounced Delta….at least it’s towards the end of the list..because that would not fly calling it the same spelling...

    NurseSpeedy replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That was in 1905 and the employer is not forcing anyone to get vaccinated. They aren’t forcing you to continue to work for them either. There is still a choice. Employers have the right to choose if...

    Select All That Apply: The Most Hated Question Type Ever

    NurseSpeedy replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most nursing schools require passing standardized tests before passing the classes and graduating. Their SATAs were much harder than the actually NCLEX which I found extremely easy but also extremely...

    Pity Party - US Hospitals Hit With Nurse Staffing Crisis Amid COVID

    Darn it, you made me look. I’ll admit, only a few seconds before I called BS, I try to stay out of too much political crap and stick to what seems logical. If that’s the reason for being against...

    NurseSpeedy replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And an unvaccinated, asymptomatic nurse poses a greater risk to her immunocompromised hospitalized patient that may have also chosen not to get the vaccine. You could potentially give the a virus that...

    Somewhere in America, a psych unit is missing one of their most popular patients that pretends to be a nurse? That story just went from so crazy I was laughing (either that or cry or scream?) to so...

    Why Do New Grads Lack Critical Thinking Skills?

    NurseSpeedy replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I only had time right now to read the original post. This problem seems to stem from school graduating nurses that are teaches to pass the NCLEX, not real world nursing. Which is sad. In 2002 I...
