How one reads a post and interprets it is individual. To me, she was not insulting or presumptious. Naive maybe? Inexperienced? Therefor, I don't say that I answered in a "cut and dry " fashion. People are free to make comments according to their inn...

I just read this whole thread and am saddened at the pokes and jabs directed to the original poster when she(I am using she for convenience) was only asking a question /expressing her opinion. From her standpoint, her thoughts are her reality. To mak...

With my junior high, I gather the student(s) that need instruction and some who don't and have a "mini class" on hygiene during which I go over the needed info. The students are then asked to judge my class content, ability to understand the info,...

Personally, I don't care what the nurse looks like-or "is" as long as the person is competent when they care for me-or any patient. This student doesn't THINK with that male appendage-which will probably be lost in the near future anyway. The person...

I'm 52 and have been told by students and administrators during my 21 year career that I relate to kids very well. I have k-12 experience. And I would love to implement more wellness programs. Obesity interests me. I was wellness coordinator for the...

Sorry I said anything. The negativity hit a nerve that's all. But then, I couldn't understand all the comments to the poster on the "obese nurse" thread, either. Lots of nerves were hit there. Just don't flame me for having an opinion.

The comment was not directed at you but to the whole "name calling" tone of the article and the offensive tone associated with the term "gypsie". I am not angry but I won't chill, either. Neither am I buying into any label, I was merely asking tha...

I just want to remind you that when you label a group of nurses as "gypsies" and portray them in a negative light that is offensive to those of us that are of Hungarian, Romanian, etc. descent. As a second generation Hungarian, that name was hurle...

I'm a school nurse on salary. I am expected to stay after if a meeting on a student is called, but otherwise I work 7 hrs per day and have 1/2 hr for lunch. It's lunch I don't always get. I am on call all day for everything. But I have been doing th...

Has anyone ever ordered from those internet sites offering Viagra, diet medication such as Didrex and Meridia and Phentermine, and sleep aids? One fills out a form answering questions about her health, gives a credit card, and the doc issues an RX. ...

After a long hard day, I sat down last eve with the latest Newsweek. I did not need to read that letter from that resident. To make such sweeping statements, and lump all nurses together...His narrow mind will get him in trouble long before he beco...

The way you asked the question, it sounds like you are researching the topic. Are you working on a Master's thesis? Just wondering.....

This is amazing! And management require nurses to work double shifts! What about them?? No talk about patient safety there-only insubordination if you don't. I sincerly doubt that you would have endangered your patients, you DID get some sleep. ...

Nursing is not all about dealing with the "yuckies". besides, everyone is different. And the incident passes. You may feel queasy until the task is finished, but then you move on to different things. Maybe the dissection thing is the only thing that...

Congrats! Hapoy for you!

Rotten Nurse-that was a mean and totally untrue statement! Unit clerks are part of the team too-they accomplish alot. How would you like to be "minimized " like that. Andre, I respect what you do, please don't think we all feel the way Rotten Nurse d...

This MUST be shared with others! Too good to pass... So many others are going through this too, every day. Your insight provides courage and hope, as well as demonstrating the humanness of all of us. Bravo, VERY well done.

Miss JKim, This is meant in all kindness, but is a bit of "tough love" as you asked. You would come across as more professional if you used the spell checker. Your post has many spelling errors and it makes it hard to read quickly. I don't mean t...

You paint the most beautiful pictures with words, even sad ones.The depth of your feeling is something one can't manufacture unless you have felt that way. You have a gift-a great one. Please continue to share with us. For a minute, I was by his beds...

I love reading your works. Your love for others shows through all you write. Some of your poems made me mist up here at school...You seem to be a wonderful person . Lucky are those who know you personally

SmilingBluEyes said it best when she asks you to tell us the "hows" of communication so that we can be heard and the "what" to say so that it is effective. The same stuff keeps getting bantered around and no one suggests concretly how we can move bey...

Wow! That was like a shot in the arm! Thanks

Jamiers, why do you say things like "a person like yourself" etc and then to then say "foolish people point out foolish things" to Nooney. That again was hurtful. Her post was insightful. I feel you'd better clean up your postings to sound nicer or y...

Welcome Mylissa! You will find alot of help and friendship here. Don't worry too much-just take it a day at a time and concentrate on learning all you can.Best of luck!

No Jamiers, I did not see your post-I read some and came back to this . My mistake. SORRY-Then you are not young and inexperienced. I stand corrected, but I think your response was overly harsh and punitive. You did not have to cut me down like that...
