   Scammers Caught Selling Fake Nursing Diplomas

   SOS XD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Headlines

   It makes tital sense. I'm in Florida. I've worked with A FEW nurses that baffled me. Not knowing really basic things- 5 rights/disposal and sharps/that you cannot abandon your patients bc you are tired/hungry/etc. Have lost count of how many times I'...

   Anyone else wearing old scrubs whilst shopping/running errands?

   SOS XD replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

   I am with you. I wear my old green surgical scrubs out for errands. Everyone cuts a wide path around me and they pull their masks up over their noses, as well. They are comfy. I don't see why anyone should be dressed up to run errands. To ...

   Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

   SOS XD replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

   You are obviously really intelligent and have real grit. MDS, informatics and research. Also look into Trancendental Meditation. My IQ is way up there. I get impatient and annoyed when people don't get information the first time. I took up TM and i...

   Vaccine controversy

   SOS XD replied to degfnp's topic in NP

   I give them resources. I take them through how I am required to vet information when I am writing. It's circumspect but it works about half the time. I give them information I have and the tools to find true, reliable sources. So they come away with ...

   SOS XD replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

   Actually the term 'marijuana' was part of the whole reefer madness demonization of the plant. The name of the substance is cannabis. It isn't political to call a thing by it's actual name. Great you are pro legalization. Fantastic. Getting everyone t...

    And what about the therapeutic compounds in the cannabis plant? Anyone go through the American Cannabis Nurses Association certification? Unlike alcohol, no one has ever died directly from marijuana use. We haven't scratched the surface of the possi...

    LPN-RN Bridge Programs in Florida. New State Rule :( STINKS

    SOS XD replied to JenniferKverneland's topic in LPN-RN

    It's Santa Fe College...isn't it? Try Rasmussen, Jersey or Taylor. Yes they are expensive but they are all professional. They are private. They have a vested interest in your success. Pretty sure they are all accredited and most go to BSRN instead of...

    I was assaulted by a supervisor. I am a different ethnicity than she. She habitually called me racist nicknames. A patient of her ethnicity called her on it. He was defending me ( his nurse) and being older than her, spoke to her in a chiding manner....
