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.

We hope the site problems here are now solved, however,
if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Are you really a nurse? WoW! I've always wanted to be a nurse.
Oh, wait a minute, I have been a nurse my entire life (it seems.
)
What kind of nursing do you do? C'mon over to the newly-created Healthcare sub-forum here http://www.christianforums.com/f554-healthcare.html , created just moments ago by Erwin (Erwin rocks.

Well, any free vacation would have to include free childcare. Sooo, if I could go anywhere at all and at the same time know that my children were completely safe...RED that's ME said:
Right now, I'd go to New Orleans.

I have no idea what you mean, sorry, lol
Yep, I'm really a nurse. I think I was born a nurse. It's something that I've been doing all my life in one form or another. At one point I thought I would end up working with animals because I was always saving the strays and wild critters that got hit out by the farm and nursing them back to health.Jenda said:Are you really a nurse?

I work primarily in family practice/internal med. My preference is definitely family practice though - emphasis on peds and OB (yes, I worked for one of the few FPs who still do OB). I've also worked in ID (infectious disease) and mental health. Oh yeah, and urodynamics. Of the various fields, peds-OB is my favorite followed by ID.

What is the most often used thing you do to prevent 'burn out' (if you experience that - I hear some people are just naturally charged all the time - weird)?

So I thought I'd pop in and say

I don't suffer from burn out very often. I wouldn't say that I'm just naturally charged all the time though. It's more a matter of my sense of humor. I can find humor in just about anything and I have a pretty cynical sense of humor, to boot. Typically I find it much easier to laugh about things rather than get angry.
Grizzly said:
I enjoy it a great deal. It does take a lot of time, but in fairness that's probably because I volunteered for a certain group of forums that generate a lot of work.
Tons, lol. Most of them probably would not be appropriately shared here though. Not to mention, what I consider a "good" story may be really disgusting to most people, lol. My mother in law is also a nurse and many of the extended family on my husband's side work in medicine in some capacity. Soooo, family get-togethers usually come complete with a game of "gross out"...in which all the medical people wait till everyone is eating dinner...then we start trying to outdo each other by sharing the grossest tales from work. We laugh as each person eventually has to leave the table (did I mention I have a very odd sense of humor?).RED that's ME said:

Hi Murron.
Do you ever come home and give your kids a safety talk about something you thought no one would be stupid enough to do until you came into work that day?

Much as I'd love to, I can't really do that and feel comfortable about it online. My luck I'd share some really gross event and the patient would happen to come across it and recognize it.ej said:
But, I can share this one (it's a humorous tale, not really gross)!!!
During a flex sig (and yes, those are gross, lol) the patient was complaining of abdominal discomfort. The doctor was a tall, willowly lady who was always perfectly composed (in front of the patients). A flex sig isn't a pleasant procedure in the first place, it's more than a small bit humiliating for most people and it carries a lot of embarassment factor with it (particularly for female patients who have ...issues...with certain bodily functions taking place in front of other people).
The procedure involves a flexible tube inserted rectally. The tube has a small fiber optic light, a gentle air jet, a small water jet and a pair of tiny tweezers. It also uses suction to remove the inserted water. The air that is used to expand colonic folds...well, surely ya'll know what air in the colon comes out as.
So, this delightful patient who is trying to maintain her compsure and dignity is trying to warn staff that she is going to have to "let some air out". Out of the blue, this prim and proper physician leans down and says "Hold it in, bear the pain. Let it out, bear the shame." Every single one of us in the procedure room, including the patient, just cracked up laughing.
And, just as an FYI - your colon has some very interesting colors and textures!

More often than not, even when I'm marked "away" I'm not really away. The past two weeks I have actually been away, however. I've been quite ill and am finally starting to feel well enough to sit at my desk for more than a few minutes.

I figured you would. That's how I learned about the effects of ODing on Tylenol.
Listen kids - Tylenol won't get you high. It will only make your intestines bloody. Nobody wants that.
