Pythinia

I'm reminded of the character from King of the Queens, Kevin James, he is rather rotund but can jump, do somersaults and generally mind boggling gymnastics. Nurses know their capabilities, just because they are overweight doesn't mean their minds are...

Perhaps we could all be less discriminatory.

Ergo, no solution?

How pathetic that we have to have a topic named 'Likes' in the scheme of things it matter not one iota......

So Lesbians and Gays are not 'hypercritical, judgemental or overly religious and harder to work with?

Why does: 'Fiona59's 'overly religious types' always a counter reaction to 'proud gays and Lesbians' the latter so much better than the former. Tiresome.

I've seen patients bow and squeak to nurses, humble themselves actually because of their vulnerability in sickness hoping by this action, they will be treated with kindness and humanity.

I think a patient would say you were quite remiss in your comment, patients do notice male nurses and on the whole a lot don't like to be nurse by them.

Would you have a choice? certainly not in a public hospital.

Yes but these examples you give are not the norm - for goodness sake!

Every Tom Dick and Harriet have heard of the Paleo Diet - why do you ask ?

How do you know they had longevity ? short lives I would presume and it a serious subject. No pixs of ancient man exists nor do their bones depict what they ate. The terrain from today's world very different, nature at it's best....

The Paleo diet supposedly is what earlier man ate eons ago. Why we decided that they were healthier than us is beyond me. They ate what they could and didn't last that long is probable.

Well what about the Dairy & Cane Farmers ?

Your regime is very unrealistic you're only going to put the weight back on again.

Why are the moderators putting up with this trivia?

And would you please quit being so censorious, patients don't always adhere to your impatience with them like your quote 'well I heard'.... if so busy delegate their 'concerns' to a higher authority i.e a Doctor. this post is to shaneteam...

Why would you want to know farawyn? so you could be even more dismissive?

That's a very rude and spiteful comment rnurse. who ever you are.

Your comment is too harsh on the folk who do not hold your belief for what ever reason, sure we believe in vaccine but this belittling - comments like 'come on use your brain' is arrogant. Nothing but nothing is 100 percent foolproof please allow th...

I saw a documentary recently on ABC one of its stand out lines was: Nurses are renown for eating their young.

Fortunately I'm not likely to, live far far away.

Let's hope we never go to a hospital near you. An arrogant response if every there was one.

Obviously you care a great deal about your status - the young couple by their reactions sound scared and afraid.

What a rant! why are you still in nursing? the patients you quote are in the minority why not attempt to convey some positive outcomes between you and your patients? this is never mentioned on this site - it appears to have generated into a outlet fo...
