    VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

    The education section of my promotion consideration was checked “met.” I don’t know if they granted a waiver or considered my doctorate as being in a “related field” (if you saw my duties it would be hard to say a JD isn’t a related field) but now th...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    I don’t really know what all of that has to do with what I said, or the original comment, so

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    That’s what they said....no one needs a gun, barring [except for] extreme circumstances. Good examples of extreme circumstances though.

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    Sorry - am I anti-cop if I think they shouldn't suffocate people on a sidewalk for passing a fake $20, or knock a 75 year old man off balance and cause him to crack his skull open for the crime of trying to talk to them around curfew time? Does that ...

    VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

    WOW!, here we sit, at least 3 years after they started discussing getting rid of this joke of a board that it sounds like no HR department knows how to perform. I have an interim chief and she was livid that I did not get promoted to III. She said ...

    Refusing to change/toilet pts

    No, really. It literally is. I don't have to argue at all about that. Read your job description. I'm willing to bet that any accredited facility specifies that your duties are performed under the direct supervision and direction of a licensed nurse. ...

    Refusing to change/toilet pts

    Same here when I was an extern. I never once had a nurse ask me to do something just because she didn't want to do it. I have witnessed it out of RNs at my current job; however it is far removed from my extern days at another hospital and the environ...

    ADN's being pushed out

    Did you hear that, folks? We're undereducated, lazy and selfish. Good thing I'm goose-stepping my way to my BSN as we speak! Fall in, you lazy undereducated fools! lol

    Possibly Odd Question

    "Not fully dedicated to it:" all I need to know. Pick something else to do. ETA this is probably one of the trolls from that medical student forum.

    Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    I totally disagree with this. I am taking BSN classes now and there's an assessment class. It required me to buy tuning forks to do my assessments. I can't WAIT to join the ranks of BSN floor nurses everywhere who are using these tuning forks as par...

    Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    I don't know why they ask. I was around 35 when I got my RN and people would ask me daily, so it's not like they are asking because we look young, or we look old, or whatever.

    SICK of BSN Pedestal

    That's funny...I took a gym class in college. It was one of many required "electives" needed to obtain a bachelor's degree. There were many to pick from, see, because there are people who major in physical education.

    Infractions, petty offenses

    Yeahhhhh this is nothing. I cannot imagine an application question that would require you to respond in the affirmative for this offense.

    ADN's being pushed out

    I disagree that it's the "standard," but I wasn't telling you that you shouldn't do it. Just answering why I don't want it. I don't feel I need it for any of the reasons that you stated, since I already have a bachelor's degree and beyond. But I will...

    ADN's being pushed out

    Why don't I want it? Because I don't really need it. An ASN isn't every nurse's one and only degree. And yes it is a pain. Anyone who has taken statistics would probably say it's a pain, unless they're mathematically inclined!
