    Phasing Out ADN?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I had my BS in another profession. Perhaps this is why I was already a well rounded critical thinker prior to nursing, with the ability to clearly communicate. For some, it may add to their practice....

    Hoosier_RN replied to RMHRehab's topic in Nurse Management

    Let them know that they will pay for the whole room, insurance will not pay the excess, and let them know that rate. This should be a conversation by your unit manager or MSW or Care Coordinator, not...

    Becoming a Certified Dialysis Nurse Yes/No?

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

    Staffing Ratios and a big reason that they'll not likely happen soon

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not surprised by a facility taking the position against it, as it eats into their bottom line. All facilities are in business for profit. Profit vs nonprofit status is just election of divestment...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know why you couldn't PM me, but suffice it to say, mom got the same treatment. She was not impressed and reported her to the CNO (who is her friend). She got an apology, but after that...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    My mom has as well. She is shocked to say the least. She retired from nursing in 2014. Buuuuut, she always worked in surgery, couldn't figure out what the squawking about staffing was. You know,...
