    NP Please help!!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Mathew Reed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one has been ugly, just realistic. I would suggest that she pursue these questions with a NP in the practice where you receive care. If non available, look at other practices in your

    Manager wants us back in office...

    Hoosier_RN replied to rn30's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not, and I'm not even a part of the conversation

    NP Please help!!

    Hoosier_RN replied to Mathew Reed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, we are nurses who've all been there. I never asked either of my parents (mom is a retired nurse) to help with my homework questions. At the masters level, she should be able to do this on her own....

    Florence In My Time

    Hoosier_RN replied to spotangel's topic in General Nursing

    Then the CEO and CFO told Florence "sorry, budget" and all of the other BS that nurses at every level hear everyday. I know I sound like a negative Nancy, but I'm trying to be realistic Rita I do...

    Inpatient Nurses Answered the Call

    Hoosier_RN replied to peblevins's topic in General Nursing

    I think Florence would have been greatly disheartened in the pandemic. In this day and age, statistics and evidence didn't make a whole lot of difference. Mixed messages and conflicting data coming...

    What’s a Crusty Old Bat?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hannahbanana's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'll go there, give it a try, and see. I haven't been here much lately, but as you guys state, it just ain't the same

    What’s a Crusty Old Bat?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hannahbanana's topic in General Nursing

    I miss the old community, always a good topic or 2 or 3 trending, and posters could agree to disagree. There are good topics still, but not like days

    MEN, dont come into nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Only in small pockets of a general shortage. The true shortage is that of experienced nurses willing to put up with BS and crummy

    Leaving dialysis?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Duncan6's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    It's sad when you go to make positive changes you were hired to do, but those that hired you to make those changes, don't allow the changes to be made

    Some of those old threads probably can't as there have been updates and server changes. That's a question for the mods, or the respected @Joe

    Leaving dialysis?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Duncan6's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If the issues are that problematic, I'd leave. As you said, a corporate person controls issues in a dialysis clinic. I'm biased because I'm happy with dialysis, so I'd go back in a

    Leaving dialysis?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Duncan6's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I agree with kbrn2002. If you actually have authority and ability to make lasting changes, I'd try to stick it out. If you're going to be hindered at every turn, I'd go back to the clinic. Honestly...

    Unprofessional Clinical Educator.. What would you do?

    Hoosier_RN replied to hama1111's topic in General Nursing

    No specifics, just many years of service; beyond middle age, again no specific age; and crusty around the edges. 42 years of service, I'd say you're a member
