  1. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    nehneh14 replied to RobotechTD's topic in School

    Of course. There isn't one political official that I'm aware of, regardless of political party, who has called for, or is calling for confiscation of all guns. That's just a tired trope and...

  2. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    nehneh14 replied to RobotechTD's topic in School

    None of these things are being sanctioned by the government of the country in which these children live. Gun violence is something that can be addressed, but it will take the cooperation of their...

  3. National Walkout Day March 14 at 10am

    nehneh14 replied to RobotechTD's topic in School

    My child's school participated. They've had a run up to today with many discussions about rights, gun violence, school shootings and political action/protest. Those who wanted to participate made...

  4. Thoughts on Covering Own Shift

    nehneh14 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    No unions=no common sense protections/benefits for staff. They can do whatever they

  5. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    nehneh14 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! In fact, my PPD didn't alleviate until I stopped breastfeeding. My OB felt it was a likely contributor and thought stopping was worth a try. I wish I could have all that time back during...

  6. My Body Is Not My Resume: Exploring Nursing Dress Codes

    nehneh14 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think tattoos are trashy and I fight against an automatic bias when I interact with someone who has tattoos as I'm very aware of my bias and that it's not really reality based. I was...

  7. What is the afterlife like?

    nehneh14 replied to EGspirit's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    What is the afterlife like? Non-existent.

  8. Would you pray with a student?

    nehneh14 replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    This: "only faith that states one way or Hell and is based in love. These two things mean someone with a nurses' heart wants to cure the whole person. No other religion honestly cares about people in...

  9. Would you pray with a student?

    nehneh14 replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    Something to consider, my mother lost complete confidence in her surgeon after her consultation prior to surgery when at the end of her appt., he asked if he could pray with her. She was so taken...

  10. Would you pray with a student?

    nehneh14 replied to smudges.blips's topic in School

    As an atheist, I wouldn't have led a prayer, but I certainly would have shared a moment of reflection with her during which she could pray out loud or silently, and I would have offered her any other...

  11. Fox News calls CNA a nurse

    nehneh14 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    Well Fox and the Daily Mail are very similar in their "mission", both ideologically and financially. They're both tabloids. There's a reason they are referred to as "Faux News" and "The Daily Fail"...

  12. Nursing pay..Check this out!

    nehneh14 replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Having lived and worked in the south, midwest and northwest, I definitely found customer service and professionalism generally lacking in the south as compared to the other regions with which I have...

  13. Nursing pay..Check this out!

    nehneh14 replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    This has been my experience, as well. The quality of my parent's healthcare is SIGNIFICANTLY less in TN than it was when they lived in WI. Quality of care most definitely varies between

  14. HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    nehneh14 replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Seriously. Your ire should be directed at your husband; he's the blabbermouth. Time to pull up your big girl pants and quit obsessing about what your husband's family thinks; why do you care??? If...

  15. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    nehneh14 replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    I DESPISED 12 hour shifts. They're miserable, especially on a high stress unit. (Although now, it's hard to find a unit that isn't high stress.) I made a point to ask about it during my first hospital...

  16. Where can I get male only patients?

    nehneh14 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and it's a Federal Law to which I am vehemently opposed. As for your assertion that "When anti-choice people come here to say that they want to go into healthcare but they have religious...

  17. Where can I get male only patients?

    nehneh14 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm frankly pretty flabbergasted at the number of posters who have given legitimacy to the OP's issue. One can entertain whatever supernatural beliefs one wants in their own private time, but that...

  18. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    nehneh14 replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    I started at $14.25 in 1992. I make under double that now. My husband on the other hand, who works in the finance industry, has had his salary increase by hundreds of thousands of dollars during the...

  19. BSN is a joke

    nehneh14 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    That hasn't been my experience at all. Bedside EKGs are common, but when we have someone requiring bedside or tele, they're in a specialized

  20. BSN is a joke

    nehneh14 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    It's part of the curriculum, sure. But, it doesn't have real world/nursing applications except in certain circumstances. I've worked in several different hospital areas and clinics and the only time I...

  21. BSN is a joke

    nehneh14 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    I hadn't either. We had models on which to practice, but we weren't allowed to do invasive procedures, with the exception of wound packing. I don't find this uncommon at all. It has nothing to do with...

  22. BSN is a joke

    nehneh14 replied to nurseguy22's topic in General Nursing

    There was a lot of what I considered BS and busywork in my BSN curriculum, but I never considered getting anything other than a bachelor's degree. I was the only BSN in the hospital in which I first...

  23. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    nehneh14 replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. And, it's plainly obvious from recent and not so recent events and socioeconomic reports that there most definitely not plenty of opportunity for everyone in this country, and not nearly...

  24. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    nehneh14 replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    Usually the people throwing around terms like "socialism" and "communism" actually have very little knowledge about what either actually are. These are usually the same people who bleat about "welfare...

  25. Raising minimum wage ..RN Salaries increase?

    nehneh14 replied to Dformola's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, and the post to which you replied is a chilling example of how effective the demonization of unions, and instead, championing corporations uber alles has become. How twisted is it that...
