I thought a >$450,000 salary for the CEO quite generous. I'm sure the ANA, and other unions such as it, have quite stable financial bases. I assume much of their financial solvency comes from the...

My parents were both teachers. My mother was an English and History teacher. She was an excellent teacher, but she definitely was a person who did not have any 'skills' other than teaching. She was...

I still don't get what's 'unprofessional' about thinking more highly of nursing and nurses than of school teachers. I personally feel that nursing is a higher calling. I think more highly of nurses...

Can anyone go and watch the BON in action? Are these hearings open to the public?

To me teachers are people who never left school. They just need the cocoon of being in school for the rest of their lives, it's the one thing they are good at and they never moved beyond it.

I don't find anything that great about the teaching profession relative to nursing. A teacher's starting salary is peanuts, for one thing. They spend much of their time on behavior management or...

I believe that universal health care should be guaranteed for the basics, with individuals having the option to supplement as they see fit. Employers could continue to offer supplemental insurance...

Ugh, so you have deranged inmates smearing feces all over themselves and prison guards and prison nurses engaging in erotic dancing while the inmate wallows in his own feces. Sounds like a sick...

Nor should we "get out of nursing" :smokin:

May I ask what a 'lap dance' is?

TV remote in vagina? How utterly Freudian...

I posted in another section about the sad death of Mary Doolittle in the Washington DC metro crash. She was employed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to 'support the world's nurses'...

Interesting. I wonder if they could do a study of people like you, sort of like separated at birth twin studies. The workings of the brain are quite mysterious and fascinating.

Maybe nursing programs should start incorporating self-care into their curriculum? It's a vital part of holistic nursing for the nurse to remain emotionally and physically fit.

Interesting. According to the study, the most vulnerable are those with the most empathy. It just points to the fact that a certain level of detachment is vital in nursing. I think a detached...

:lol2: I wasn't thinking of giving up my per diem job but maybe picking up a few shifts elsewhere. I was suspicious at getting this call out of the blue with the claim that agency work is...

That sounds like a classic case of 'selective hearing' Many men suffer the same malady...:lol2:

Would you consider yourself less open to suggestions/requests than your average person???

I think 'they' would be the bad doctors with lucrative consulting remunerations... ... Truly a cardinal sin :rolleyes:

This might be useful info for us nurses! This study says that making a request of someone in their right ear is more effective. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8116321.stm So, how could we...

The PCA orders will call for a TKO rate. Everything should be on your order sheet. The TKO rate is in order to dilute the narcotic and keep it from sitting in the vein in between doses. It acts as a...

Incidentally, we do have a choice of different styles. The logo of our hospital in embroidered on our scrub top. Some of the styles have a loose fit, others a more tailored fit.

The RNs and LPNs in my hospital all wear navy blue, except for surgical nurses who wear teal. The techs and unit secretaries wear magenta. I love it. I can instantly identify another nurse. I...
