  1. Gift for a pt

    Longleggedstar replied to mountainjc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe to you there is a valid reason but for me over the years I have realized there is no such thing as good and bad people only circumstance. Given the circumstance a person can go from good to bad...

  2. Gift for a pt

    Longleggedstar replied to mountainjc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Generally this is a big NO! But every once in a blue moon when you have those exceptional patients you'll never forget and as long as the gift is sentimental vs expensive, I bend the rules a little....

  6. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    Let this debate go sis, the truth is the user you are chatting with is not a nurse. You are asking him to see your stance on this issue from a level and status in which he has not attained. He is...

  7. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    Finally you are able to soak in some real knowledge...glad Elvish could get you to understand that illegal immigrants do file taxes, maybe he can get you to understand that some also pay for...

  8. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    Reading is fundamental...where did I state "ID is not used to identify people". Please help me find those words. I'll wait. If you are here to spread lies you are in the wrong community. Again, I have...

  9. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    Longleggedstar replied to rearviewmirror's topic in General Nursing

  10. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you are stating ID to be used to even remotely screen someone for legal vs. illegal status...lets me know you are grossly lost when in comes to immigration. Tip: ID is not how you prove...

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

  14. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    So when a Mexican woman is in labor and comes to your hospital that is close to the border, what should happen, are you proposing to let her and her unborn child die...no dinero, no

  15. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

  16. Undocumented Patients

    Longleggedstar replied to srercg6's topic in General Nursing

    I have quit jobs in the past d/t 1.High nurse patient ratio 2.Unrealistic workload- tedious medicare charting, along with other things that constantly make you whisper (what the what) while...

  22. RT says her scope is wider than mine. Ok?

    Longleggedstar replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
