    Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    Crystal-Wings replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with this article 100%. Child molesters should be given NO mercy. Let them have castration if it keeps them from diddling

    Nurse Donates Uterus to a Stranger

    Crystal-Wings replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    I think it's a bit ridiculous. If you want to have a child THAT badly, why does it have to be yours biologically? Why do you have to carry the baby? There are literally THOUSANDS of children that are...

    LVN scope with ventilators?

    Crystal-Wings replied to riquelle's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Why on earth is the respiratory board trying to suggest things to the nursing board?! From what I hear, respiratory therapy is a dying field...

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    A lot of them don't truly need all of the hours they are getting. I had a patient that was g tube only and was getting over 80 hours of nursing a week! Parents gave all of the meds and made the nurse...

    Vocational Rehabiliation services

    Crystal-Wings replied to sodapopgirl's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Voc rehab is a joke. I'd steer clear of them if I were you. Have you considered extended care private duty nursing? You work in people's homes with one patient for 8

    I am not good at nursing

    Crystal-Wings replied to Lostinorlando's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* nobody is good when they first start out. 6 months isn't enough time to determine

    I should be happy with this new "dream" job

    Crystal-Wings replied to proudRN's topic in General Nursing

    4 weeks of vacation sounds wonderful! I would love to even have 1 week of paid time off! Who cares if it's boring. Boring is better than stressful. Work isn't meant to be fun. That's why its called...

    Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I never wanted to do floor nursing. I'm just not cut out for it. I went straight into home health to do one on one

    Women's Right to Choose

    Crystal-Wings replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally feel that the government has NO business telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies. Forcing someone to carry an unwanted pregnancy because of laws that are based on...

    "LPNs are glorified CNAs"

    Crystal-Wings replied to nursetnc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Anyone who thinks that is ignorant and not worth the energy arguing

    Aveanna Takeover of Maxim

    Crystal-Wings replied to River&MountainRN's topic in Private Duty

    I work for Premier, and they were bought out by aveanna. We got tablets to do our charting on which is nice. I've never heard good things about Maxim though, so maybe it's a good thing they are being...

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Oh Lord I could go on and on about some of the things this mom has said to me, one of them being "you need to do things to make yourself stand out as a nurse!" when I told her making labels for the...

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I just asked my agency for another case today. I've had it with the mom yelling at me and trying to blame me for things I didn't do. Like today she started yelling at me because I finally stood up to...

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I hope that kid got removed from the home. There's no excuse for abuse/neglect. How do you deal with micromanaging

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    That is the million dollar question. Anyway, you did the right thing AND protected your licence. The family I'm with now won't let me call the MD either. I was in a situation a few days ago where my...

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    Oh man I know! And I hate to sound prejudiced, but I've only seemed to have this issue with families that weren't raised in a western country. It could be a cultural difference, but I honestly don't...

    Did anyone ever refuse a trip w/patient?

    Crystal-Wings replied to Elektra6's topic in Private Duty

    I wonder why that is. Are they scared we'll tell the doctor something they don't want to hear? A lot of times I feel like they just view us as a babysitter or "the help". I mean, if it was my kid I...
