1. resp therapy vs RN

   deathnurse replied to obeyacts2's topic in Pulmonary

   While you may make more money and have more job opportunities, you'll certainly inherit all that is wrong with health care. Our RT's are CRUISIN' compared to what we go through in 12 hours a day. And they don't have the family crap to put up with as...

2. RN to BSN orientation

   deathnurse replied to Loribabble's topic in General Nursing

   Ya' wanna' be a nurse? You passed the test. You want more letters after your name? Become a professional in another field. It's folly to stick on BSN after the RN. There is NOTHING that an ADN can do that can't be done by a BSN, so don't consider you...

3. Shared Governance

   deathnurse replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

   When you're saving money, you won't see snazzy ideas such as these. When you've got OPM (other people's money) from universities, county facilities, and so on, you start to see the paper mill projects come to light. They need more nurses, higher sala...

4. What a way to end a great shift

   deathnurse replied to bellehill's topic in General Nursing

   Take your breaks before they take your spirit. Insist that "night shift" can handle it. It's a 24 hour job and this mantra that day shift has to do it all is preposterous and shouldn't be fostered. I had a good day Sunday. Was able to shave a patient...

5. IV in AC

   deathnurse replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

   psychomachia has the definitive answer. And, again, I'm amazed at the very question. Oh, give me a wino at change of shift! It's now 0232 and my rants and rave continue, despite the Cuervo conditioner. The dog's lickin' my hand again.

6. Leaving nursing

   deathnurse replied to wandering_rn's topic in General Nursing

   You're FREE! Don't ponder the life of a nurse! You're outta' there! You won't be abused by patients, doctors, managers, relatives, and visitors any more! You won't be sued! You won't catch a deadly disease or have a patient spit in your face! You won...

7. RN bashing

   deathnurse replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

   professionals. yeah. professionals.

8. Are you kidding, texas nurses?

   deathnurse replied to lorrie's topic in General Nursing

   You're going to need it when you don't have retirement. And make all the money you can while you're young. And stay away from Nevada. Work "ratios" in the nation with the highest number of fat, drunken smokers for your customers.

9. What jobs can I get with my BSN if I don't pass Hesi/Nclex?

   deathnurse replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

   This is a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for you! Stay out of patient care and use that "degree" for something else. Pharmacy sales is a good one. Converting over to a pharmacist is even better. Or maybe transfering into physical therapy. But a nursing degree is...

10. Sutures

    deathnurse replied to Salus's topic in General Nursing

    Had to through that in.

11. Health policies highlight Kerry and Bush differences, analysts say

    deathnurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    Yeah, the situation sucks, but we're making choices aren't we? Get out of nursing and into a business with more respect.

12. About a LTC MD who is BAD NEWS

    deathnurse replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric

    We could use him here in Las Vegas.

13. How much Verbal Abuse should a nurse take from a PATIENT?

    deathnurse replied to billssisbeth's topic in Safety

    "How much Verbal Abuse should a nurse take from a PATIENT?" "the last shift I worked this client pulled my hair, slapped at me, sniped, spit and was totally "with it" during every episode." "This client's tounge is like a two sided razor and I'm need...

14. What was your secret weapon for surviving nursing school??

    deathnurse replied to michelle_s_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not in that order.
