    Hoosier_RN replied to DNPgrad2022's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    And those that say you can't tell, are full of it. I can spot it a mile away, as can most

    Nails and Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Bones17's topic in General Nursing

    I used to go get manicures and clear or light pink paint. During covid, I realized by doing my own at home, how much cash I was saving. Now, I do my manis at home, no polish. I use my saved cash on...

    Nails and Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to Bones17's topic in General Nursing

    We recently interviewed a new grad nurse for our facility, a friend of a current employee. She had long acrylic nails, beautifully done, I might add. Personalitywise, she nailed the interview. My...

    Truthfully, "that nurse" probably isn't good to other people in other areas of their life, it's a personality situation, not necessarily an at work bullying situation. All of this NETY business has...

    You should talk to some of my friends that are lawyers, IT, real estate, and very upper tier management and their underlings at large companies. You are dreaming if you think it doesn't go on...

    Here's the deal: OP wasn't there, they got it 2nd hand from their daughter who was upset, and some things may have been blown out of proportion if daughter is the extra sensitive sort. None of us were...

    And that's a totally different thing. I'm talking about parents who have no standing. Before I left nursing education, you can't begin to imagine the calls and emails from "Susie's mom", "Mary's dad",...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    No one was cruel, cut throat, or even mean, as you stated. Many were direct. If that a problem, that's a reflection on you, not any of us. Again, your daughter will run into many patients who are...

    I've been a didactic (med surg I & II) as well as clinical instructor. I haven't done it for 5+ years, so I took it out of my bio, as I did ICU, med surg, LTC, HH, hospice, PDN, and corrections. I...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when many clinical instructors have anywhere from 10 to 20 students (I've heard of even more, but it's rare), some may be on the med surg unit, 1 or 2 at surgery, 1 or 2 in the critical care...

    The instructor may have been on the floor, in another room, with another student. 1 instructor can't be with all of the students 100% of the time. But after washing hands, the student should have...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    If you, or you daughter in the general sense, think that anyone one here is mean, unkind, or cutthroat regarding how we gave general answers to her situation, she needs to re-evaluate her entry into...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Aussienurse123's topic in Immigration Advice

    Transferring license isn't always guaranteed, as compact licensure isn't, either. Every state has different requirements and they review the information. I just heard of someone from England denied in...

    Advice For a New Instructor Please!

    Large teaching hospitals may have these amenities. Small rural hospitals may not. It doesn't make them any "less" as your tone suggests. It means they may have to use their funding differently....

    Your daughter is in nursing school, thus she is an adult. Realistically, the school/hospital/professor cannot discuss with you, as it is a privacy issue from that standpoint. It's been stated...

    Sometimes people are called out for bullying, when in actuality, they've just stated something in a way that wasn't the way the receiver of the message wanted to hear. I've been told in the past that...
