    What do you think about with current News and Opinions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in Talk Politics

    Considering that it's 100% the truth, I'll encourage it all day

    What is one of your qualities as a nurse that is both a strength and a weakness?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in Nursing

    Yep, I'm guilty of the same thing. My good quality/bad fault...I don't allow myself to be treated like a doormat. Assertiveness is great, until TPTB are trying to walk on you, then they call you "hard to work with" and "not a team player". Sorr...

    If I wasn't working a 13, I'd give a yell for lunch. I'll catch you all one of these days. But have fun driving through my beautiful home state!

    MTG needs to be marched out from her office never to come back, she's a special kinda psycho...Boebert needs someone to pull her aside and let her know that she needs to cool it before she ends up in the same boat. Pelosi, like many in her age group-...

    You've made my day! I won't put myself down, too many others have, and I refuse to be there

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Lounge

    What if you're Joe Dirt? I've been gigged so many times in life, I feel like I have a permanent skewer through my midsection. I just try not to take stuff too personally. Life's too short, and I'm too old to waste time to worry. Hugs sent

    Allnurses Debates!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Lounge

    Agreed! A person with a decent personality will debate, with facts, or at least leave emotion out. A good personality will never attack others. We gig at each other on jest though 😉

    Allnurses Debates!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Lounge

    If it's a topic that I care about, I'll debate it to the death. If it doesn't interest me, I'll scroll on by. I've had my skills and intelligence questioned, simply because my beliefs don't align with another poster's. Not worth my effort. But I do o...

    I prefer a good German double or triple bock bier. One of the first things, after coffee, that I missed when I came back home to the States

    Nurses That Never Worked In A Hospital...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1143647's topic in Nursing

    Odd that you say home health pays less than hospital. In all my years, and even now, hospitals in my area pay less than any setting, and the 5 area hospitals don't use travelers.
  16. Hoosier_RN

    Have you ever been looked down on because you don’t work in the hospital?

    Hoosier_RN replied to happyhippo's topic in Nursing

    Depending on when you started, that could be done. Many new grads coming out with limited job prospects, and will take/have to take what's offered. Many moons ago (1993) when I started, grads pretty much named their specialty and were picked immediat...

    Hoosier_RN replied to happyhippo's topic in Nursing

    That was going on when I was in nursing school back in the day...it's got to stop. Not everyone can be an educator, manager, data specialist, CRNA,or NP. There has to be someone at the bedside, and an incentive to help them stay there.

    Hoosier_RN replied to happyhippo's topic in Nursing

    I've done acute care (hospital), LTC, home health, hospice, and dialysis. LTC and dialysis are my faves. Yes, other nurses and family members have made snide, snotty comments. I don't let it bother me, their opinions don't matter. If every nurse work...

    Now that's the truest statement I've heard this morning. It's a sad verdict on our judicial system...pun fully intended

    She's qualified, so I'm all for her nomination and the proceedings, which I hope are smooth and turmoil free. With everything else going on in the world, we need something that shows stability. As far as needing a perspective though, justice is blind...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1188630's topic in LPN/LVN

    You're given respect when you earn it. You're not going to get it walking in the door. Running to "tattle" on the mean nurse who wouldn't bow to the students sure isn't going to win you respect either. Try actively engaging with the nurses and you wi...
