    Bullying

    Wuzzie replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have the patience. I'd probably tell them that maybe if they'd done a better job of rasing them, having no work ethic wouldn't be an issue. My mom raised us with the philosophy that it...

    Repetitious Threads & Recycled Reponses

    Wuzzie replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Yeah, so all I wanted to know was what part of answering an OP's question you consider self-serving, the answering or the personal story leading up to the answer. Not at all sure how we got here but...

    But isn't that what the poster in your example asked for? So is it the act of answering that reflects the low self-esteem or the verbosity of the

    Bullying - Will HR help or make matters worse?

    Wuzzie replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    HR is not there for you it is there for the facility and administration. Without a union if you go to them they will most certainly notify your manager and he/she will retaliate by making your life a...

    Wuzzie replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who here is advocating for that? No they aren't. Plenty of people have been "eaten" at all types of jobs. Nursing just happens to be the area we are familiar with. I have loads of...

    Ageism in Nursing?

    Wuzzie replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just single parents. It's every family situation. We are feeling this immensely. Unfortunately it's the same nurses calling off repeatedly (we are growing suspicious about this) and it puts...

    Dosage Calculation

    Wuzzie replied to sb082001's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Fortunately you're late to the game, but tell me if you hadn't been, what has the OP learned from you giving her the "answers"? Can she now safely calculate drug dosages? Does she know where to look...

    I'm Out... (Cue Mic Drop)

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you suggesting attempting to acquire natural immunity? Like letting COVID burn through the population? That would result in hundreds of thousands more dead and damaged people. The vaccine is the...

    Starting a native garden

    Wuzzie posted a topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    As the title says I'm starting a native garden. By that I mean I am ripping out every inch of turf in my back yard and starting over. So for the next 60 months I'll be ripping,, pounding, shoveling...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Wuzzie replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd say 100% of the infectious disease specialists and virologists I work with (one of the areas I specialize in) would say that masks, mandates and the vaccine all work. But what do they know? After...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Yes but it makes a difference in that area (maybe saving something important) while you wait for the fire department to come. NOBODY here is suggesting that masks alone are sufficient. A point you...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Wuzzie replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm going to assume you realize that the virus cannot travel by itself. It needs a glob of spit or snot to move, both of which are larger than the pores of even cloth masks. Your "fishnet" comparison...
