1. Nurses make me sick

   0.5GPA replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

   I LOVE free food. I don’t consider it to be a slight like some people do. I work on a COVID unit and understand it is what it is. I work on my stomach. LOL I wonder what is acceptable for people who mock it. I get money and staffing being commo...

2. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

   0.5GPA replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

   I don’t agree with it but I’m sure as a student I’ve done it. I do not talk about my job or profession on social media. I don’t want people knowing my business and I don’t want to make my profession look bad by anything I may say (or possibly misunde...

3. What should I wear to pick up paperwork on my day off?

   0.5GPA replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

   This I don’t know what your work is like but some places might try that old “hey your dressed to work want to make some money since your here?” I just dress like I normally do when I’m off I do not make changes in my attire just because I’m swin...

   0.5GPA replied to ML1376's topic in COVID

   If you have respiratory health problems then you have a much higher chance of dying if you get this virus. I was reading the other day on Nbcnews about a nurse who had a history of asthma who recently died in NYC. Long story short being concerned abo...

   Well I NOT a doctor so I couldn’t say. I’m not an OB again can’t say. Those patients have EVERY RIGHT not to have me in there. Or do you not believe patient should be able to say what goes on with their care? I was talking about me. I am like a lot o...

   0.5GPA replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

   I’m a male and recently finished my program. I didn’t have to do anything extra for my OB rotations. In fact, that wasn’t never mentioned. the only issue I did have wasn’t school related but was that most of the women that were pts did pass on me bei...

8. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

   0.5GPA replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

   As a Millennial I feel that most people in my age and younger don’t stay at a job forever because there is no reason too. Largely the idea of a person starting at a company young and then staying there until retirement is very outdated. that is rare ...

9. Forced Organ Donations from Living Donors???!!!!

   0.5GPA replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

   My point was most places seem prisoners as less than human. Protesting something is less “bad” by most standards. To treat that heavy handed you know prisoners are getting a bad deal. also this is the same country that thinks a “social credit” is a g...

10. Forced Organ Donations from Living Donors???!!!!

    0.5GPA replied to traumaRUs's topic in Headlines

    I’m glad they value prisoners lives with ethics and integrity. Free speech and right to protest not so much. It find it hard to believe that if a government would work that hard to stop a protest by shooting tear gas at people they value the lives of...

13. The nurse in the morgue – Part 3 of my interview with a forensic nurse

    0.5GPA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Nah on smells and stuff I’d think the worst like you said would be children. I am a new parent (well now a 10 month old) and it put me at a different mind set with children. I don’t know if I could do it. Maybe maybe not lol

    0.5GPA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Neat! Many moons ago I wanted to be a forensic pathologist but didn’t want to go to med school blah blah blah. I read it is also the medical specialty with the oldest age of retirement so there is not many jobs like it. Defiantly would interesting. ...
