    Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Your words, to me imply this: Oh well. Trump has said and implied much worse with a much bigger megaphone. He sets the national tone. He's only part of what sets the national tone....

    Biden suporter assaults 7 year old child, supposedly she is a RN

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    to me, it appears she's saying that Trump wants law and order and these actions by the opposite party followers highlights that. Anyone who wants the chaos and perpetuates it should be arrested and...

    while he's a first class jack***, I've never heard him threaten anyone like that. I have heard Maxine Water and Rashida Talib say some very bothersome things along those lines. Please provide...

    As a new Nurse is it important to get out of your comfort zone?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I want to add, unless the nurse that is currently doing this really behind and is taking a 2+ week vacation, short of an emergency, they shouldn't need coverage. I've done MDS before and took a week...

    Trump’s assault on Postal Service and voting is a plot against American democracy

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I feel that our forefathers were worried about multiple forms of government taking over and leaving people with a semblance of what they had just fought to be rid of, and that the balancing act lies...

    As a new Nurse is it important to get out of your comfort zone?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    RAI is not something a new nurse should be doing or training for, especially to cover short term for someone. For your employer to do this, speaks for their lack of integrity. It's time sensitive and...

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I have, and have a good understanding. I think its totally amazing that people on both sides of the aisle are touting their candidate as close to perfect. Sorry, not sorry. They both have a boatload...

    Those Who Have Left Nursing

    Hoosier_RN replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    That's going to be dependent on how much you were being paid as a nurse. Some with 30ish years are going to not make anywhere near as much outside of healthcare without a new degree. With ageism in...

    Quit While in Orientation (New grad)

    Hoosier_RN replied to SillyFever's topic in General Nursing

    I think new grads can do well in any setting if they're willing to put in the work. That being said, I dislike when a new grad says that they won't take anything but x dept in x town because it's...

    Hoosier_RN replied to TtuhscNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    What you speak of is true overall. But if you signed a contract, you are liable to pay, whether you like it or not. That's the whole reasoning behind a facility to have you sign one, and it's going to...

    Hoosier_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I conclude that about 99% of ALL politicians. Trump hasn't cornered the market on that. It's sad when we live in a country that the lesser of 2 evils wins most elections. I can't stand to listen to...

    Wait until you are offered the CC job. You may not have a job offered. But while interviewing, see how you feel about the unit overall. So many post on here that started out as a dream job, but was...

    ICU orientation

    Hoosier_RN replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    Usually, the classroom orientation is for new nurses with 0 acute experience to get them acclimated to the acute atmosphere. You have that with some MS experience. 20 shifts with a preceptor is...

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest416560's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    regardless of the child being able to vote or not, the attackers were adults. Or at least of adult age, but apparently not of adult mentality. If you attack a child for that, you have some deep seated...

    Hoosier_RN replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    You are talking about specialties of nursing, I'm talking about APA, which is formatting for research papers. I think it's apples to oranges. In the US, you train for all because you never know where...

    Leaving dialysis?

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

    you could always offer to stay PRN at the clinic, in case the new position doesn't work out if offered. I hate hearing that another nurse treated you that way. They should be glad that someone with...
