    This MD culture

    Hoosier_RN replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^I agree. And it usually ended up that the “idiot calls” still happened, because those nurses thought it wasn’t them. It just slowed down serious intervention calls. One of the reasons I...

    I love it!!! Now, I’ve been a house supervisor in a small hospital years ago. After a while, house sups were asked, by the doctors, to have all calls between 10p and 6a go through us. Why? Because...

    Yes, but it’s another issue. I’m sure that if s wrongful death suit comes around, there will be plenty of discussion on this

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

    Hoosier_RN replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    I think the family will bring a wrongful death suit to the table eventually. With some of the comments on here, it’s made me wonder, how many mistakes had she made that she swept under the rug?...

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I think she’ll be gone after all of this, due to the negative publicity-my sister lives in the area and she says some of the rumors are pretty bad; I didn’t ask about the rumors, since they are...

    Would you be insulted?

    Hoosier_RN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Look at it as a blessing. If someone performs poorly, can’t be blamed on you or the educators perceived incompetency of you. Move on, too many other things that really matter out

    In SNF usually 2 to 5 shifts. Look at the geriatric nurse specialty threads on here. They can be quite helpful and eye

    Hoosier_RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Regardless of how this pans out, I suspect that she will most likely never work as a nurse again. Most places wouldn’t touch it with a 10 ft

    Other licensed professionals don’t necessarily have anyone else with them. I just had an electrician come to my home to do work, he was alone. I had to just go with he had the knowledge. We can also...

    The last inservice that I was ‘invited’ to, was at lunch, they had (drumroll) pizza. I walked in, grabbed a breadstick, asked presenter if I could sign the paper. I signed, and walked out. Never...

    What is Abandonment?

    Is $85k worth it for BSN program with no guarantee acceptance?

    Hoosier_RN replied to nhayes1984's topic in General Students

    My ASN, BSN, and MSN altogether cost approx $10,000. No loans, no grants. The thought of $85,000 makes me scream “NO!” in a few different languages. There are other ways.
