   THAT Nurse. replied to adventure_rn's topic in NP

   I am one of them, though it is for a different reason. After precepting a few, I had absolutely no desire to be affiliated, in any way, with those institutions. This is nonexhaustive; among the problems with the students (1 characterized every ...

   THAT Nurse. replied to missmollie's topic in COVID

   I only want to know one thing. When you were told this; how did you stop the hysterical laughter at such lunacy you must have felt?

4. Manager threatening patient abandonment

   THAT Nurse. replied to joonkilee's topic in NP

   It sounds like you work for a group, and not your own clinic. As such, a lot of the concerns/obligations that would follow if you were running your own sole practice do not apply, such as the whole 30 day notice thing being given to patients before y...

   THAT Nurse. replied to adventure_rn's topic in NP

   In my experience going to either a well known/reputable school or even going to a standard state school (think University of Neverheardofitbefore) are viewed significantly more positively than the online programs. I once precepted a South University ...

6. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

   THAT Nurse. replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Students

   So, lets be straight, you ARE a political person. Which is fine, welcome to my club (even if we appear to be opposites). What is sad; is I largely had the same experience though my nursing instructors never hammered a grade because of differing belie...

   Found this today, good example of what I wrote yesterday. Good luck to the LPN doing this. https://www.chattanoogan.com/2020/6/13/410499/Some-Erlanger-Nurses-Considering.aspx

   THAT Nurse. replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

   I am not a lawyer, so you'd have to consult one. This however seems promising: https://www.workplacefairness.org/unions-retaliation#1 IOW, start forming one very publicly. Even if it never gets off the ground you should get some protection, and publi...

    Its been said in a few other posts, know your state practice acts, and I would add know BON Position statements if your state has them. Having started my career in TN, I will use theirs. https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/healthprofboards/nursi...

11. are we human .. really ??

    THAT Nurse. replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you made the genuine mistake, accept it, learn, and move on. I do admit, based on my experience (where I most certainly did NOT deserve it) being made to feel little by our lying and quite worthless HR rep was not warranted. The emotional abuse I...

    After nearly a year of floor nursing, I know I want a change. I am leaning heavily on an MSN, with a focus towards management. Currently, I have a BSN. I have been looking around online schools, and at the moment have an eye on Regis. Has anyone use...

13. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    I see a slight bias against. On the first floor I worked after graduation, I was flat told by an HR employee I was being held to a different standard. (I resigned the next day as well. I still loathe those bigots. A pity I have no way of proving it, ...

14. When do you actually become resposible for the pt?

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have seen some people talk about seeing the patient board, and the rooms assigned, and simply walking out, or refusing to clock in until the staffing issues were fixed. From a legal perspective, when do you actually assume liability for a patient?...

15. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    THAT Nurse. replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism

    Nursing will continue like this until we actually join an organization, and that organization is run effectively. In Tennessee, we have a rather poor nursing organization (mentioned earlier), the TNA. I was somewhere between utterly dismayed and abs...
