1. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

   Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

   That is a very good queston because they have the so called "eICU". I can only surmise that chest tube vacuum integrity is not a parameter that is closely monitored by the folks "in the sky".

2. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

   Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

   The problem with that is about 50% of the posts that I place have the same sort of "attacks on my personal sincerity or integrity" The net effect of closing all such posts is to place a "de facto" ban on my ability to post. Why cannot those who com...

3. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

   Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

   I had one post where I referenced writing a book about why nurses lose their license. I did that even BEFORE my wife experienced her present situation precisely because I believed then that many, many nurses and nursing students are punished for capr...

5. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

   Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

   Sorry that should read "Should". The nurse in question (referenced in the now closed post" is sabotaging a student ethical/legal") actually admitted the incident on my wife's weekly evaluation. The manager of the unit said that my wife's preceptor f...

6. What's the job market like for Rad Techs in the real world?

   Roland replied to Roland's topic in Career Support

   The problem with the rad tech sites is that you have maybe a 1,000 members rather than 100,000. With a 100,000 people there's a good chance that there is an expert or two out there in Allnurse land who could tell me the ins an outs of building a ham...

7. What's the job market like for Rad Techs in the real world?

   Roland posted a topic in Career Support

   I know that the governmental publications say that it's "above average", but those are often not all that accurate. I also know that it is no where near as good as it is for nursing (just look at any Sunday newspaper). However, that is my current "...

8. Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

   Roland replied to Roland's topic in Relations

   In reply consider the following: 1. My wife posted her own post on her issues with this ICU and they can be read with a simple search on the name OahuRN (I think she only has a couple of posts so it shouldn't be too hard). 2. I am as certain as I c...

    Why is "eating their young" used so frequently (espcially around here) to water down the reality with should be stated as acting like an aXX. The reality (IMHO) is that many nurses (it especially seems like the older, more experienced ones especiall...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Relations

    Jessica, my wife read all of the replies except for yours (she had to get ready for work) and she promises to write her own response tommorow night (she has a meeting in the morning with her manager, preceptor, and unit educator about her progress/fu...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Relations

    The Mrs. is still asleep, but I will try and get her to do a quick reply (or at least read the above posts) when she awakes, but before going back to work. First, let me clarify the chest tube suction was removed, but not the chest tube itself sorry...

13. Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in Relations

    Well since I wasn't there personally I cannot be absolutely sure it is the WHOLE story. Furthermore, the nurse stated exactly what she did (remove the chest tube to test my wife). In addition, I know my wife and she doesn't lie. She's not perfect, bu...

    Roland posted a topic in Relations

    My wife recently posted about the difficulties she has faced in a new ICU job. She is recluctent to leave because it was tough to find the position that she now has. However, just the other day when her preceptor asked her how she thought she was doi...

15. Does this article prove that BSN nurses are safer than ASN?

    What would be some of your criticism of the author's methodology? I am doing a review of this article for a statistics class and am looking for some fresh perspectives. Educational Levels of Hospital Nurses and Surgical Patient Mortality Linda H. A...
