2. Staff Nurses

   SCB replied to SCB's topic in CRNA

   It's funny how this thread seems like a united front, but the rest of the wedsite discussions do not, except for a few. I never said anything about a BSN nurse being better than a ADN/diploma. After all my arrogant self was a diploma nurse for many...

3. Staff Nurses

   SCB replied to SCB's topic in CRNA

   I am concerned about the patients in the hospital. The care is not good, and there is much neglect, and many errors. It's not due to a shortage of nursing staff, because the ratio is 4-5 to 1 RN. Many of the nurses do sit in the lounge most of the...

5. Staff Nurses

   SCB replied to SCB's topic in CRNA

   Are you saying that docs are arrogant, pompus jerks? Gee, I have to wonder why they are this way. Are the docs nasty to the nurses, do they disrespect them? Q: Why does a dog lick his butt? A: Because he can. Q: Why does a doctor disrespect a n...

6. Staff Nurses

   SCB replied to SCB's topic in CRNA

   :kiss I never said anything about level of knowledge and the BSN, you did. I did not say "all" nurses sit in the lounge, but many do. Many nurses can't think beyond following doctors orders, but they did study A&P, pharm, and disease processes....

7. Staff Nurses

   SCB replied to SCB's topic in CRNA

   I'm very much for REAL! My expectations for the care of MY patients is very high. I give excellent care, and there is no reason other nurses can not do the same thing. As far a my "superior attitude" well, a nurse who is caring for patients on the...

8. Staff Nurses

   SCB posted a topic in CRNA

   Now that I have completed my BSN, and all the other course work to start the CRNA program, I'm having second thoughts. The concern I have is letting the staff nurses care for my patients. Their level of knowledge is, in most cases low. As a staff ...

9. Balboa Medical Center OB

   SCB replied to Dradz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was a Navy nurse for 10 years, and my last duty station was Balboa in L&D. This was only 2 years ago. I can tell you that your wife will get the best of care. They may not come across as the kindest of folks, but I can assure you the care th...

10. No Overtime Pay?????

    SCB replied to PilotJim68's topic in General Nursing

    It's Bushes idea. I guess he needs the money to pay for the war, or turn millionairs into billionairs. So, nurses have been grouped with white collar workers, when it comes to not paying us overtime, that is.

11. Here's our future

    SCB replied to Todd SPN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses have asked for this kind of replacement. If I were a patient I just might prefer the robot, and my doctor over the nurses. Nurses have become robots by not furthering their education and becoming task oriented (following doctors orders). Nu...

12. Question about Bsn programs??

    SCB replied to sarahr5's topic in CRNA

    The BSN program at UoP is NLN accred, and all MSN programs accept the degree. Your states board of nursing can answer any questions on this. The clinicals are done at work, and you have to be a working RN to attend, part-time is fine. I attended U...

    I live and work in San Diego. My first ten years as a nurse was spent in the Navy. I got out of the Navy here is San Diego, and this place is like going back 20 years in time. We do have a union (hand picked out of the back pocket of hospital admi...

14. Intrauterine Fetal Resuscitation

    SCB replied to SCB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have moved on to work in the PACU, at a different organization. I interviewed for jobs until I found the right fit. Documentation was forwarded to the right people who should be concerned, and have the power to change the situation. My view of ...

15. Nursing

    SCB replied to SCB's topic in Career Support

    I dislike the job, I find myself becomong depressed even thinking about returning to nursing. Nursing has never brought be a feeling of well-being. I dislike working with others who's only enjoyment in life is treating others poorly. I've had it ...
