    Evolution and Nursing

    Gooselady replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Looks like an HTML code problem with the quote function? Anyway, I got your reply ? The unsupportable notion that an objective morality is superior to a culturally influenced, evolving morality...

    Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    Gooselady replied to ThinBabe's topic in General Nursing

    The OP has got to be a troll, but the question has it's interesting points Anafranil, an old tricyclic antidepressant, works well to lessen OCD symptoms, of which the OP appears to have a crippling...

    Most surprising/shocking/interesting thing you've seen

    Gooselady replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I worked psych for 17 years, where do I begin? The man who thought the Devil lived in his left testicle, and shot it off with a pistol. I'll never forget the dressing change. The man who believed he...

    Of your patient load..

    Gooselady replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I think I understand what you mean :) but in the final analysis, we went to school to deal with ALL of them When we opine about what we were 'meant' to do from nursing school is another one of those...

    Nurses forced to work as aides

    Gooselady replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This happened in the hospital at my last job. But my first three years of employment, we did primary care, which meant doing everything, including taking out the trash. We complained for years about...

    I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    Gooselady replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree, you don't have anything per se to 'hide' or even defend yourself for. You clearly admitted to a near-miss mistake. I didn't read your post before the paragraphs were put in, and definitely,...

    Evolution and Nursing

    Gooselady replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    There are some things science cannot explain or find an answer to. Some of those things science should not even bother trying to! Perhaps someday we'll develop a 'means' by which to measure or study...

    Gooselady replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I receive your 'thinking' with full appreciation If you live anywhere but in a major urban center, it can be 'tough' to be a nonbeliever in that speaking your mind can have negative consequences....

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Gooselady replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    You guys rock :) and all you have are words on a page, and I'm not always clear. Interesting how situations like this bring out those 'personal' emotions. It's good to have a place to talk them all...

    Rough day

    Gooselady replied to BSNRN2014's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, that sucks When I was almost ready to graduate, one of my last shifts with my preceptor, I'd had a rough day with a patient who crumped and my preceptor was a bit on the 'militant' side. So I...

    I need help. =(

    Gooselady replied to MissyERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are explaining everything perfectly clearly. I was going to ask if you could give a specific example of where you are supposedly having trouble with peds. Then I read you've made no med or...

    Nurses can eat properly if they manage their time

    Gooselady replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I laughed and remembered my mother and sister staring at me one evening when we went out to dinner. "Hungry??" my mother asked. I couldn't answer because my mouth was bulging with enchilada. I was...

    Overpayment

    Gooselady replied to FloridaGatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Any job openings where you work?? JK Seriously, that is almost as alarming as getting shorted. I seriously hope some other employee isn't getting a nasty surprise when they open their checks Not...

    Grief - how can we avoid it as nurses loosing a patient?

    Gooselady replied to lnxyourxeyez's topic in General Nursing

    Grief isn't something we ought to avoid, or try to avoid. That leads to burn out and compassion fatigue and all those pitfalls of nursing as a career. I don't know how to describe it . . . but the...

    Evolution and Nursing

    Gooselady replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    It is a LOT like that! How many times in my life have I had to come out of a closet? It's like endless closets, step out of one, and into another. I work private duty, but 'with' another nurse on one...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Gooselady replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Sorry guys (and gals) about the confusion; I am in total agreement with the medical diagnosis of death, and what hospitals are obligated or not obligated to do in whatever state, and that Jahi McMath...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Gooselady replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Of course! I see poor Red Kryptonite bangin' her head against a brick wall in her previous post. Something I said in my previous-to-her's post must have sounded like I made some claim about brain...

    Gooselady replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Recently my old lap top croaked and I lost my bookmarks. This site was on there, so now I have it back. It's a great site, an old one that has had a few makeovers. I remember reading it through...

    The Fat One

    Gooselady replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Times . . . they be a changin'. Fifty years ago, calling someone the N word wouldn't have gotten them fired either. Was it less offensive to call someone that back then? I agree calling someone 'the...

    What are my rights against those who eat their young?

    Gooselady replied to goingback's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If management won't or can't do something effective, then there isn't anything you can do except change yourself. I'd quit and tell the manager exactly why, and make sure HR gets a nice email about...

    Gooselady replied to kaygbean's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The jobs I ended up dreading were jobs I left, usually after suffering through more than I needed to because "I am not a quitter " Pffft on that. A thoroughly 'bad' job isn't your fault, nor do you...

    Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Gooselady replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I heard them too. I had A's in everything except nursing research and a couple of non-nursing classes, and felt very confident in school. At the bedside, not so confident. I went to one of my...
