• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How harshly is the age gap judged?

What a strange class. You have to look into how nurses are portrayed in slasher films and sex movies.

The media molds the general public's image of most occupations. Sadly, there are very few shows that actually portray nursing as it really is. In fact, I can't think of one.

not sure how many men would want to chit-chat in this situation...

LOL...well, they do. He had two teenage boys he was raising himself. He was in construction and if I remember correctly, owned his own business and didn't make any money if he didn't work so he was trying to get out as fast as possible. This wasn't the first time he had this problem because of the way his hair grew (not a cleanliness issue). .... he also thanked me for making a very embarrassing situation not feel so embarrassing.. We also talked about his kids in more detail

In war movies, the women are shown as doing the least invasive work.

Most doctor shows like House and Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs show the doctors doing nurse's activities. For example, doctors don't give meds. They write the orders and we give the meds. They don't even have access to the medications cabinet.

When I am in the hospital, I just don't stop talking.

Not uncommon...that is how I learn so much. It is lonely to be stuck in the hospital. And since I work night shift, I get people when they are tired and at their most vulnerable.

Of course, there are the patients who really aren't that sick...maybe admitted only for over night observation and they sleep my whole shift so I don't know much more about them than a basic assessment and why they are there.

I was accused of being shallow and wanting Imallokwaitwhat's picture. Someone else posted a request for a picture when he said he had a face that I wouldn't forget (in response to me admitting I am lousy with remembering faces)

The request for location was in response to me saying that I doubted he lived within 100 miles of me...
