    Doctors vs NP's?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree!!! The proof is in the pudding so to speak. We take way, way more drugs than any other country and yet our results as far as any measurable outcome are not better. In fact they are...

    Overwhelmed & Recovery?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hate keeps me warm at night and gives me the ability to keep going in this jungle of BS. I simply hate the do-gooders too much to let them win. I'll finish this nonsense absolutely but even more...

    Baltimore patient left at bus stop middle night 30 degree wearing just hospital gown

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yep I remember the old days in the ER. The Docs would simply say "don't let this one leave" and we would essentially mug the guy and tie him up until he complied with what we were telling him / her...

    I like the green gummi but I'm not a huge Paul fan. I'm more of a Ringo guy. Red gummi for

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Jslimp22's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The article was interesting. What was more interesting was looking through the site attached to the article. I don't know who the hosts of the webpage is with all the information about monitoring...

    Well then she made a poor choice but it was a choice she is entitled to make. Not every poor choice leads to a 302 commitment. If it did all the substance abusers, smokers and obese people would be...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ha!!! What hazard did I present to my patients? Do you have a crystal ball? As far as the deal, you are right about that at least and I'm holding up my end. I'm glad that we can at least agree that...

    Baltimore patient left at bus stop middle night 30 degree wearing just hospital gown

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    It's impossible to tell from a video what happened before the video was shot. I doubt very much this patient came to the hospital without clothes & I also doubt if she wasn't given the chance to...

    Addressing the Predicted Nursing Shortage

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it extreme at all. I'm not sure most BSN studies lend much to nursing the way they stand. I believe it an attempt to give us more credibility as a profession bit the actual educational...

    Getting an attorney to look at a signed contract is not as useful as getting one to look at it before you sign it I would

    RMA or Affinity, what trumps what?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have mixed feelings about 12 step meetings. Don't get me wrong I loathe every second I'm there. However, if I honestly look in the mirror perhaps that red-hot hatred is more associated with the...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Kabhold's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Do hair tests show ETOH consumption? If so I'd love to just schedule a hair test every three months instead of checking the phone daily. After all it would show that I've been clean for the time...

    LucyLoo: Thank you so much!!! SpankedInPittsburgh resides cryptically in Pittsburgh. I have resigned myself to absorbing whatever punishment is doled out by the BON and I've taken their best shots....

    RMA or Affinity, what trumps what?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Indiana RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh the damn meetings. I don't know what to say except do the number you have to as specified as by your contract. If there is confusion call your case manager every day until you get a response. If...

    Addressing the Predicted Nursing Shortage

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    As much as I'd like to I can't fully disagree. Lets face it "professionals" aren't made in 13 months at community college like me. We can't have our cake and eat it too. If we are going to be seen...
