    How do you handle touchy/feely coworkers?

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with someone who actually got counseled for over-hugging — not only did they hug when it wasn't welcome, they would pick me up off the floor. I am little, but that does not mean you can...

    When to change name (marriage)?

    Lunah replied to hannahannah's topic in General Students

    There may be several hoops to jump through to legally change your last name prior to marriage (if I am reading this right). If it were me, I would keep my current name until I got married. It can be a...

    SANE nurses, opinion on UK cellphone handover requirement by rape victims?

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Of course they need to fully investigate the allegation, phone or no phone. I saw some debatable stuff when I was a SANE. I am just not sure why keeping someone's phone for two years is warranted....

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Lunah replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    The exact epithet isn't the issue. But my mother-in-law is Korean, meaning that my husband is half Korean, my daughter is one quarter Korean, and you are 100% offensive. ? Any good will vanishes with...

    Have you been evaluated by the VA for disability benefits? I am not sure how long you served or if your PTSD is service connected, but it might be worth a try. Your local VSO should be able to help...

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Hardship: none of my business or a problem?

    Lunah replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion: being "responsible" about your debt is making you irresponsible with your life. Living in a van and half-living at work is not normal behavior. I fail to see how firing you would be...
