  1. I suggest that the affected student and those of you who have witnessed this behavior document this and take it to the administration. If that does not work, most schools have some kind of student advocate that can go to bat for you. This needs to be...
  2. Honey, where I am at we have been trying to get the ratios reduced, but the schools fight us. Also, from my experience, the BSN is really not that much more than the ADN. ADN will give you better clinicals. The pay is the same on the floor. Get the A...
  3. Was this ethical?

    In the light of what you said, the student behaved unethically.
  4. Nursing schools

    I am concerned because some of the nursing schools are sacrificing good science and math classes for the sake of liberal arts classes. I recently saw where one nursing does not require chemistry but requires speech and a literature/English module for...
  5. Wife Just Completed 2nd NCLEX - question

    The NCLEX is actually randomized on the number of questions. The first test, the computer gave her the long one. This one selected the 75 minimum. It varies. Also, sometimes the test will run experimental questions that don't count toward the scores ...
  6. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    Well, the first thing I did was time and date incident, document in the patient's notes that the MD was called to clarify an order and that the MD did not clarify the order. Then I report the MD to my supervisor and file a complaint. With one that wa...
  7. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    In this day and age with the communists in control I would not be surprised to find a policeman come up and arrest the doctor.
  8. I just received my newsletter from IAHPC. I notice every time I get the newsletter how much respect the members of the palliative care teams have for each other despite their discipline. The doctors, nurses, caseworkers, chaplains, all of them work t...
  9. Maybe we need to go to the European system. No physician is ever called "Dr." despite his or her medical degrees unless they go back and get a PhD as well. Physicians and surgeons are called Mr. or Ms. I think we need that system here. In this countr...
  10. How About... a HUMAN CULTURE

    I think the reason the microsoft does not recognize "transcultural" is because most people use the word "multi-cultural" or cultural sensitivity, which, in my opinion, is different. To me anything "trans" goes above and beyond and does not let "cultu...
  11. Gender descriptions in my MSN text

    I think it is. I found it distracting and prejudicial. It was comments like "the farmer can't help her family", followed by "the carpenter doesn't know what she will do." Very strange. I would have said "the farmer can't help his family and the carpe...
  12. Is it best to get BSN as opposed to ADN for second degree?

    I had a BA in something else when I went to nursing school. I went ADN. I am glad I did because I feel I got more clinical experience than I would have for BSN. I am now working on my MSN. I took an RN-MSN bridge. I only had to take 3 BSN bridges to ...
  13. Judge: Audubon managers broke labor law on nurses union vote

    What Audobon did was in violation of some older laws that go back to the late 19th century and the term of Teddy Roosevelt. These laws were designed to protect laborers from discrimination. Audobon should have used a different tact. They cannot harra...
  14. Nursing in Texas- Full Name legality on badge

    Is this required by law in Texas? We generally here in Florida may either leave off the last name or we have the first name large and the last in tiny print. If there is a legal problem, the client can always subpoena the records to see who had his r...
  15. I noticed that one of the texts I am reading tends to discriminate in gender. I was reading an article and everyone in there was a "she". In the past, most articles I have read trade off with a "he" here and a "she" there. Has anyone else had this pr...
