  1. Thanks for this. Within your reference it actually has not been tested in court (The court in question is the US Supreme Court): HOW BROADLY WORDED CAN A PARDON BE? This is unclear. The...
  2. True, but no one tested the pardon of unspecified crimes of Nixon in the Supreme Court, as you have pointed out, which is why I do not consider it a-thing. In fact, Congress at the time did not...
  3. Thank you for that point. If pre-emptive pardons is a thing in our justice system (it is not since it has not been tested in court, as you have pointed out), hopefully it will be shot down by the...
  4. Trump and Hannity are ridiculous! The current Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee "made criminal referral of Trump Jr., Bannon, Kushner, two others to federal prosecutors (nbcnews.com)."...
  5. Agreed! Trump is a security risk. He has shown he cannot be trusted with state secrets as president. Thus, as a private citizen he is definitely not to be trusted. In fact, given his financial...
  6. Yeah! Cats that grow up with dogs are great!
  7. Dangerous assignments

    OP: Been there and doing it now with adults. In any case, hang in there... Talk to your manager and listen to him/her explain the expectations. Then you and the staff create the workflow to meet...
  8. They both look good! ? German Shepherds are already popular dogs in our country. I wonder if they will now me more popular with our 46th President? Also, I wonder if we will see adopted dogs...
  9. So, as soon as I read the bold line I got the actual point of this anti-Black Lives Matter post: 1. ) A distraction. 2.) Blame the victims. Black Lives Matter is a simple statement. It does not...
  10. My composter came

    Good job. A coworker of mine has a composter too. ? He said it makes gardening a lot
  11. MBA degree

    OP, I worked as a hospital UM nurse at one point when I only had a BSN and MBA. Was my MBA helpful? Not really. Having an MBA is very good if you want to move up in nursing management or another...
  12. OT & PT managing nurses?

    Check with your State's BON. Do these PT or OTs have a nurse who supervises the clinical bed side nurses as the buffer (I call them buffers)? In many states a non-nurse can be in charge of nurses...
  13. CM required to work bedside/ competency

    Can you get another job? Maybe a travel assignment as a CM? You say you have two years until retirement, can you retire now (from that company), but still work travel
  14. True, many conservative politicians and Trump supporters overlook Trump's antics, being a traitor to our country, his lawlessness, his pardoning of his crony friends and henchmen, the fact that he was...
  15. Workflow for Falls?

    Workflows can be written or visually represented. Ask the person who asked you for a workflow, what he/she is actually
  16. MBA or MSN

    Yes, an MSN in all nursing clinical and educational specialties is better to open doors for those specialties. An MSN in leadership is also better for nurse leaders and managers. In addition, a...
  17. MBA or MSN

    I do not understand how your MBA was worthless. I started entry-level nursing leadership with a BSN and MBA. However, my organization is going to Magnet and has challenged all nurses in nursing...
  18. Getting ready

    My peppers, herbs, and egg plants are still growing well. My tomatoes (Better Boys, Big Boys, and Beef Steaks), Zucchini and Squash are done. I am breaking down those plants and replacing them with...
  19. NE-BC

    Congrats!!
  20. OP: It is hard to work with a weak Charge/Nurse leader. My heart go out to you, I had a few of those too. Now, as a frontline nurse leader, I stare at that one RN, let that one RN vent and...
  21. MSN careers

    NPs have a forum too:
  22. Driving 1.5 hrs (one way) to work. Good idea?

    OP: I think it depends on your mental definition of too far. For instance, I literally could have written most of Sour Lemon's post except I can replace the 45 minutes with 1.5 hours. Thus, with...
  23. MBA or MSN

    What do you want to do with your career and where do you want to work? Not all careers in nursing management and not all organizations are the same. For example, I have both an MBA and an MSN...
  24. ER nurse dealing with bullying...

    The charge nurse is wrong in this case because she did not tell the RN her concerns first. The OP went about her business not knowing that there were concerns regarding her charting until she heard...

    Legal Nursing has a forum: https://allnurses.com/legal-c19/ It may be a great place to
