1. eating our young?

   RN/MSN/JD replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU

   Some call it 'eating their own young.' Others call it 'proving yourself as a nurse.' And then, there is 'reality shock.' Sometimes nurses DO eat their own young. But sometimes, they get tired of carrying the load of the young. And then, the reali...

2. Hey, Managers! What's up with the "weeding out" of good nurses?

   RN/MSN/JD replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

   I saw this happen once. The perception was that it was the 'good nurses with the proven track record' who were getting taken out. Granted, those nurses had BEEN THERE longer than anyone else. But truth be known, it wasn't about money, or trumped u...

4. Liability Insurance?

   RN/MSN/JD replied to ajf's topic in Ob/Gyn

   The body count is also pretty high. You may only see ONE plaintiff attorney, but defense counsel paid for by an insurance company will be there in numbers. You can count on it.

5. Liability Insurance?

   RN/MSN/JD replied to ajf's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I usually recommend insurance. I do not believe that anyone goes out and plans to cause an injury. But it happens every day in every location, on the highways, on airport runways, on cruise ships, in schools, and in hospitals. I have heard recently o...

7. Can you be sued

   RN/MSN/JD replied to nurse2beeinthefuture's topic in Legal

   That is going to depend. If the physician is an employee the hospital can be sued under theory of respondeat superior (let the master answer.) Under agency theory, if the injured party reasonably believes the doctor to be an employee of the hospi...

   RN/MSN/JD replied to RN/MSN/JD's topic in Male Students

   Gee, I think there probably are issues specifically related to female nurses also. BTW: you seem to have jumped to some conclusion about me.

9. Know it all classmates

   RN/MSN/JD replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

   Rest assured that what the CNA's know is only the very basic level of skills. Once you get more into areas that require critical thinking, they will be no better than you. Some may even be a lot worse because they will have entered the program thin...

11. Eating your young

    RN/MSN/JD replied to abq rn's topic in Educators

    You are wrong about this. Student nurses can join their state nursing organizations and by default are members of ANA.

14. FNP's - how much psych do you do?

    RN/MSN/JD replied to catch33er's topic in NP

    I have taken both Advanced General Pharmacology AND Advanced Psychopharmacology. Testing in the 'general' course consisted of two questions about lithium. Since you asked, MY best recommendation is to get into an advanced psychopharm course ASAP. ...

15. NP w/no desire for RN?

    RN/MSN/JD replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in NP

    This phenomenon is not unusual. But it troubles me. It troubles me for a variety of reasons. First, I think nurses becoming NPs who do not want to be RNs first are dividing the profession (as if it isn't already divided enough). In order for nurse...
