  1. PA: Hahnemann RNs nix union bid

    Woodenpug replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Just in case the Argumentum ad nauseam fails and someone reads the whole post, toss in a red herring and a straw man. No serious charges have been brought against the Hanemann election. Just the...

  2. I Need RN Opinions Please.

    Woodenpug replied to hannahmarie's topic in General Nursing

    Time for a guy comment. Nursing school is definitely a challenge. If he is the right one, he will stick with you. If not you'll have the opportunity to meet your soul mate. I thought I was with the...

  3. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    Woodenpug replied to VickyRN's topic in Holistic

    Since "therapeutic touch" has been demonstrated as absolutely nothing, your argument is that well..... Science just aint got it? I asked you for some way, a non-believer (yet open minded) could prove...

  4. Union allows discrimination against nurses

    Woodenpug replied to Truth66's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah, it is discrimination. But it's because with nurses, they can get away with it. By the time we go through the union, prof organizations, etc. We're just making it pay check to pay check. Then...

  5. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Woodenpug replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "...You can continue to dismiss this thread as relating to a hypothetical H5N1 scenario, but I think most thread readers can recognize the immediacy of the current H1N1 pandemic in the general...

  6. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Woodenpug replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, and thank you for asking. Let's note the current pandemic is a novel H1N1, not H5N1. Since I believe you are not continuing the hijacking of this thread, as initiated by the OP. (I guess...

  7. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Woodenpug replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let's see. This thread was about a hypothetical pandemic. One that is impossible in exaggeration of extremes. How having one extreme, such as no ppe's and still having the government require...

  8. 4th go around with nclex pn

    Woodenpug replied to semarj911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, you should have passed. Over-thinking a problem and second guessing yourself are just two ways to make something "Too Complicated." I think VM85 had a several great ideas, in particular: "She...

  9. 4th go around with nclex pn

    Woodenpug replied to semarj911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone I have known face to face, who had difficulty with the nclex, had difficulties because they made it too complicated. Since you passed nursing school, the nclex should be a breeze. You...

  10. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Woodenpug replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Nice that we can disagree, without falling into the usual allnurses.com sophism. But I'd like to say, that realizing one's own power does not mean not looking out for each

  11. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Woodenpug replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Administration, government and unions all have their own interests at heart. Pretty simple concept. I don't think I can explain it any better. If you feel that you are doing something by paying...

  12. 4th go around with nclex pn

    Woodenpug replied to semarj911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The nclex was one of the easiest tests I ever passed(first time with 75 questions) I can only think that you are trying too hard. Since you passed nursing school, the test should only be a formality....

  13. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Woodenpug replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    And the same can be said for government and unions. We need to know as individuals, when it's time to

  14. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    Woodenpug replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    The part I have trouble buying is the "I gave wonderful care and never left late." And near that era I cared for 10 patients, at night. No unit sec. and charting was still narrative, but we had to...

  15. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Woodenpug replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry, I'm simply happy that I haven't spent any money or time (unrelated to insomnia) to this site. Thanks for all the phish. yours

  16. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Woodenpug replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ad hominim. Cool. The point is wrong, because you do not believe the messenger. Guess it would be correct if Rush Limbough, said that "intelligent" people believed it to be

  17. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Woodenpug replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fy2010_key_healthcare/ The above link describes the presidents plan. It does not show an overall increase in costs. It is sustainable and flexible. Wouldn't this...

  18. What the president and the ANA says about our health care "reform" UP TO DATE INFO

    Woodenpug replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Women's suffrage, is also missing from the bill of rights. Do we really want to be quite so conservative in discussing health care reform? Is it believed that health care reform is not needed or that...

  19. is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Woodenpug replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    If my knowledge and quality of education do not support the veracity of my opinion, does another's knowledge and quality of education support the veracity of the opposite position? If most of the...

  20. New Pain Med...

    Woodenpug replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    It is. I'm not sure we need another schedule II analgesic. I don't think I would have heard of it if it wasn't for the op. I'd like to read about nurses experiences with the drug, before it comes...

  21. is nursing theory important to nursing practice

    Woodenpug replied to precious nikz's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is one of the "sacred cows" here on all nurses, so opposing thoughts are poorly tolerated. Still, I don't see nursing theories as important to nursing practice. Nursing theories are...

  22. Drug-Resistant Flu Strain Turns Up In Denmark but Doesn't Last Long

    Woodenpug replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My opinion that concerns over tamiflu resistance is yet another over-reaction is not applicable to this thread?

  23. Drug-Resistant Flu Strain Turns Up In Denmark but Doesn't Last Long

    Woodenpug replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My dear colleague: This is the first post in a two page thread, where only you and one post from the op exist. I see that you are very concerned about flu. My level of concern is significantly...

  24. PA: Hahnemann RNs nix union bid

    Woodenpug replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Sigh. I can find as many opinion articles as can you. The difference is I am willing to admit that it is

  25. PA: Hahnemann RNs nix union bid

    Woodenpug replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hahnemann University Hospital nurses rock! Good choice! especially in knowing that you have to vote, the union wins when you abstain. Keep up the good
