1. Writing to the congressmen

   mianders replied to phillipsrn's topic in General Nursing

   I think there was more to it than not wanting to help the community. There are parts of this plan would require doctors to do their residency where the gov. tells them to. Which means telling them where they have to live. It also sets caps on fees th...

2. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

   mianders replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

   It has been a long time since I was able to log on to allnurses and this is the first thread I came to. I have read most of the post and there are some very strong opinions from each side of the issue. Each one can make strong arguments for their sid...

3. Will you work during a Pandemic?

   mianders replied to Goju's topic in COVID

   Not without PPE! I would do no good to anyone if I am infected.

4. Would you accept LPN wages as an RN just to have a job?

   mianders replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

   I am sorry you are in the position that you would have to consider such an option. I learned a long time of go to never say never, but I would have to be in a very bad position first. Good luck.

5. News grads in level 1 Trauma

   mianders replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Emergency

   I worked in a trauma center that did internships for new grads and it worked very well. It all depends on the expectations of management. Our interns worked side-by-side with a preceptor for a minimum of 3 months and then were evaluated to see if the...

6. Speciality Pay

   mianders replied to mom2bnrs's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I have never worked at a hospital that paid specialty pay.

7. ER nurses make $144,000 a year!

   mianders replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   I worked in the ER for 12 years and never came close to making that much money, even with OT. There are agency nurses making 40-45$/hr that if they work a lot of OT could top 100k, but you would also have no life.

8. Dad's trip to ED

   mianders replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

   From the information given, I would think the syncopal episode was related to a HR in the 30's and not dehydration. As you stated his SBP was 110. He may have been kept NPO in the ER because they were not sure when he was going to have the pacemaker ...

9. Is the pay really that bad??

   mianders replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

   I think a lot depends on how long you have been a nurse, what area of nursing you go into, and where you live. In the area I live in starting pay for new grads is around $20hr- $24hr. Experienced staff nurses make $30hr-$36hr. Then you have to add in...

    My suggestion would be to contact the State Board.

13. Where do you draw the line?

    mianders replied to fuuchan's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that MOST of the people I have encountered in this profession have been professional and curteous. You will find exceptions to this but always remain professional and keep the patients best interest first and it usually works out. Good l...

14. ANA is worthless

    mianders replied to Transplant Nurse's topic in Activism

    I also agree. Our hospital has almost a 100% turnaround in nursing supervision in the last 3 years. I have had 3 supervisors in the last 2 years. Anyone that does not go with the status quo is fired.

15. NPs and PAs

    mianders replied to Erin 321's topic in General Nursing

    We use both in the ER and their roles are exactly the same. They are both advanced practice degrees and are responsible for running the minor care area. They order test and write prescriptions. I think there are limitations on the types of prescripti...
