  1. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    I'm sure I don't really have to tell you that no one is PUSHING women into "male dominated" fields. There is a movement right now, however, to remove barriers that have traditionally been placed with...
  2. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Well, you're certainly not subtle, given your choice of avatar and all...I think we all know exactly how you feel about women, affirmative action, and a lot of other
  3. Not only are anti-vaxxers disturbing in and of themselves, it is now known that Russia has been intentionally spreading anti-vax propaganda via FB and other social media for years now. So people...
  4. Transgender patient and a dilemma

    You have absolutely no business being in health care. Aside from your obvious pride in telegraphing your ignorance about the matters of human sexuality, gender and psychology, your language (using...
  5. Transgender patient and a dilemma

    Most definitely ask the patient his preference. He's 16, not a child. I'm surprised this was a dilemma. I'm curious, has this unit never had a trans person on it
  6. Anyone Knowledgeable Here About Medicare/Insurance?

    Sadly, people do become homeless and bankrupt all the time in our country due to their health care costs/debts. I work for a non-profit MCO and see it all the time. Our staff is frequently scrambling...
  7. Anyone Knowledgeable Here About Medicare/Insurance?

    I would think that the SW would direct her to a local Aging and Disability Resource Center. ACL.gov may be helpful. We have a wonderful ADRC in my county. They handle the exact scenario you are...
  8. "That's a myth about nursing"

    Not the OP buy my previous employer did this. First, they took a very long time (weeks after having someone leave a position) to post a position. Then it would be advertised for weeks/months and...
  9. Nursing

    I don't think OP is a native English speaker; the two posts aren't constructed with skill beyond English proficiency. I'm guessing this was/is a translation error. I've heard the index (1st finger)...
  10. Clinic nursing or UR/UM. Normal hours, good
  11. I Desperately Want Out

    PLEASE do not beat yourself up if you suspect nursing is not for you. Real world nursing is a much different animal than what is described/experienced during nursing school. You are so young and you...
  12. Cna incident investigation

    I'll throw my 2 cents in here too and report that in my experience lifts are commonly used by one trained caregiver, both in inpt. facilities and by caregivers at home. Particularly, sit to stand...
  13. Universal Deathcare.

    Frankly, the fact that you're posting a tweet by Ben Shapiro, of all people, invalidates any appearance of a true faith effort to bolster or legitimize your opinion. Who next, Alex
  14. Wearing gloves with HIV positive patients

    Excellent documentary as
  15. Wearing gloves with HIV positive patients

    You're right, this is a really good book, but just for those who are unaware, since it's publication several aspects, particularly the discussion of Gaëtan Dugas as "patient zero" have been...
  16. How much PTO does everyone get?

    15 days for 1st 4 years of
  17. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    I'm puzzled why the OP has the understanding that nursing is the only profession in which it's not acceptable to receive gifts???? That's very common policy in many
  18. Sleeping in the Closet?

    Foil completely blocked light for me. I blocked my windows with foil, and used a fan for white noise. But there's not much you can do if you're bouncing back and forth between sleeping during the day...
  19. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    Oh, people who have guns around children know exactly what they're doing. They just don't care about anyone but themselves. An incredible inability or refusal to acknowledge the big picture and think...
  20. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    Whew. Thank you for this. After I read the comment to which you've responded, and read it again, and then picked my jaw off the floor, I decided I just didn't have the energy to respond. You responded...
  21. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    I would say that when a child is shot with a gun, the gun owner ceases to be a responsible gun owner, and all gun owners consider themselves responsible. Till they aren't. Gun owners are only...
  22. Nurses and promoting better rates of vaccination

    I would just love to see a nationwide ban on allowing unvaccinated children into the public school system, as well as pediatricians refusing to take on patients who are unvaccinated. The instances of...
  23. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    And just think, this isn't even a total accounting of the number of children killed by gun violence because of the way child deaths by gun are or are not reported. According to the NIH many...
  24. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    Living in gun country, I can attest to the fact that it is very rarely the case that people are out there hunting due to a NEED to hunt to put food on their table. It is much more a cultural and...

    It was 33 here, and that's considered balmy for our kids :) Most wore
