    NunNurseCat replied to NunNurseCat's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, I understand what you're saying like "we" as southerners, and this idea of doing things in an independent way, and...just I get it. ..but (of course a but) that goes out the window when it...

    My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

    NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I followed up my comment with another for the OP to consider that I live in Florida. That is how things are here. I'm glad those Canadian workers with protections can do what is right. I do wish...

    How do you do lab work on patients while maintaining social distancing?

    NunNurseCat replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    By definition we don't 'socially distance' while we practice face-to-face. We use infection prevention and control, aseptic techniques, etc. Everyone else calls it social

    My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

    NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Edit: You know what, I'm in Florida so consider that in my words. Workers' rights here are if you don't like it, well then have the right to work someplace

    All Masks Not Created Equal

    NunNurseCat replied to PrevHealthNurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When looking for a mask one of the most important things to consider is fitment. If the mask doesn't seal well it's arguably worse than nothing. Check for gaps by blowing air up, do you feel it on...

    My work is pressuring me to come in when I'm sick, please advise me

    NunNurseCat replied to DogLady's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, welcome to nursing and one of many Catch-22's of the job. So you haven't been at that workplace for long huh? Your words seem idealistic and innocent. We've all been there. If you are sick and...

    School Shootings

    NunNurseCat replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    I can agree with that. What you said is kinda broad, but I know what you meant from your past posts. Some folks would say if we harden schools, then shooters will move to softer targets (ex. a school...

    Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    NunNurseCat replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Should any of us live our lives to please others? Should others live to please the OP? Heck no. Let the OP be uptight and miserable; perhaps one day they will get tired of it and find another way....

    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    NunNurseCat replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    You made a med error, not a chart falsification. Your intent is important. You did this by mistake, so it's an error. If you had gone back and altered the chart to cover up your mistake THAT would be...

    What to do-BSN or job first?

    NunNurseCat replied to meginnurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I suggest you skip the ADN program all together and go the Accelerated BSN route. It will save you time and money in the long run. Although if you're already in an ADN program that might be a hassle....

    NunNurseCat replied to Mistb13's topic in Nursing Career

    Mistb13 sorry you're having a hard time, but you can do this. You are tougher than you give yourself credit for. If you are at all like me...well maybe your downplaying your anxiety a little bit. Is...

    If you were in class with me I'd help you out, and I'm sure most people on here would do the same! Please be sure to rate this so-called "instructor" with a one-star

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    NunNurseCat replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to read that paper as well. Let's not forget that economics is a social science, so so the sociological aspect is closely tied to the economics. Economic theory would state that, minus...

    Fingers crossed

    NunNurseCat replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in School

    Yes, reading the thread I thought the same thing! Phew, I am glad he was negative. Just as well he was scanned; even if there had been a history of migraines I'd have still wanted my kid scanned....

    Living Will Tattoo

    NunNurseCat replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Good on him for going the extra step and having a tattoo, but I can see how such a tattoo also creates some questions about the finer legalities. I know in my state (FL, where this occured) our AD's...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    NunNurseCat replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that compassion is paramount to the foundation of treating addiction...however that is not a new idea. The same goes with individualized treatment plans for recovery...nothing new there. What...

    OP, I've read your piece three times. Something about your writing is, ermm...well it comes off as pedantic. Your meaning gets lost in the mix. Would you please give me the real version, sum it up in...

    I appreciate the kind words, thank you. And OldDude, RN, the ability to understand a perspective and respectfully disagree is something I admire and respect more than I can explain. We must, all of...

    School Shootings

    NunNurseCat replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Yes the mass shootings are very upsetting. Now, before I get into it I should tell a bit about myself. I do not play political parties, I am neither Elephant or Donkey, but a free-thinking person. I...
