  1. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    You need to read my other comments in this string related to this same old comment I've gotten now about 4

  2. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    EGspirit posted a topic in General Nursing

    Call me naive, but maybe someone could explain something to me: Why, in our profession, is it considered advanced NURSING practice to leave the bedside? The ADN goes in, does a shift, cares for his or...

  3. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    deleted.

  4. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world are you talking about? Seriously, that doesn't even justify a response. What exactly do you think bedside RNs do? Fortunately, it only matters what my board of nursing thinks--and...

  5. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Susie, thank you. I truly appreciate your response. And I can tell by the way you write, and the way you express yourself, that you are a very intelligent person. So, your opinion means a great deal...

  6. New Grad Nurse

    EGspirit replied to AJ93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It sounds like you have some previous experience, but then you say you just graduated. So, I'm not sure exactly what you mean? Could you

  7. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think it would be more for that reason, friends and family. I mean, no one may want to read it. But if I teach CNAs some day or LPNs, I could give it away if anyone wanted a copy. It's like...

  8. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Good advice! Interesting cocktail!

  9. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. And where are we? Are we writing policy for the state legislature? No. We're in a social media forum. But I wouldn't be so quick to denigrate my "feelings" on the subject, for as long as...

  10. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for sure you could. A memoir is not a biography and it's not history, per se, nor is it a confessional--or at least it doesn't have to be any of those things. It tells of one's experiences in such...

  11. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Opalbee. That's

  12. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'd really be that interested in marketing it. It would be more what I might give to students or friends and family, or just something left over when I exit this mortal cage....

  13. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    A book about happiness, a novel, and a few spiritual/new age books. None of them sold worth a da.. though. And I don't want to say what they are, because I want to remain anonymous. I'm sure you...

  14. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I mean, when I was a nursing student, I read a couple of memoirs by nurses. So, others might. Thanks for then

  15. Should I write a memoir?

    EGspirit replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think it has any marketing potential, per se. But it might be something I can give to students some day or leave behind when I'm gone--that kind of

  16. Should you work as a CNA/Tech before or during nursing school

    EGspirit replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Students

    I agree with Brownbook. Work PRN so you can dictate your schedule, and if possible, try to be a tech in an area where you want to work as an RN. Where I live, one of the main universities requires a...

  17. Qualifications for Adjunct Instructors?

    EGspirit posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Can one be an adjunct instructor for clinicals at a college with only a BSN? Or must one have an MSN for

  18. Written warning for something I did not do! Feeling beat down by DON!

    EGspirit replied to vmcneil2010's topic in General Nursing

    Just from what you wrote, it sounds like they are targeting you for some other reason. If your workload is that heavy, I can't believe they'd actually risk losing you over a documentation issue. So,...

  19. Looking for day shift

    EGspirit replied to geperry's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed!

  20. Ineligible for rehire?

    EGspirit replied to VolleyballMom's topic in General Nursing

    I had a feeling it was something like conscious sedation. But damn, what a messed up thing. Tell your IT Manager and see if there's anything they can do. After that, you've done all you can

  21. Ineligible for rehire?

    EGspirit replied to VolleyballMom's topic in General Nursing

    I have to ask: What was the procedure? I mean, nurses assist doctors. That's part of what we do. I just don't

  22. Female Foley and Witness

    EGspirit replied to jive turkey's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think that's a good policy. It's good to have the help anyway. I don't think I've ever started a Foley on a female without someone in the room. Not sure if it was required, I just needed the...

  23. Dose BON check school records ?

    EGspirit replied to Jasminex's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think the OP is...bored. I think he or she's been having a bit of fun with us. This guy I worked with in the psych hospital would occasionally leave messages on my phone that sounded just like a...

  24. First nursing position doubts

    EGspirit replied to NurseSAV's topic in General Nursing

    There's no easy way to put this... It really doesn't matter where you start. No matter where you start, your first year as a nurse is going to be very hard psychologically and vocationally. You are...

  25. What is it like changing people?

    EGspirit replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when I first started. You have to understand, before that, I worked in Civil Service as an education counselor, and before that I was an aircraft electrician. So, when I first went into CNA...
