    Nurse Assault: My Story

    Hoosier_RN replied to Shawna Kratochwill's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No setting is really safe anymore, patients are allowed to treat direct staff horribly and get away with it. Sometimes the violated staff member is even punished by management. It's BS at it's

    Moving from Australia to America as a Nurse

    Hoosier_RN replied to bibek's topic in Nurse Registration

    Your girlfriend will need to contact the specific state BoN, as each has different rules regarding education, etc. Most have their info online, as well as contact

    Midlines and Nephrology Sign off

    Hoosier_RN replied to cslagle1989's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Are the patients nephrology patients? If so, it's because they will be used for dialysis treatments. There is a whole list of protocols that must be considered for those as well. For anyone who isn't...

    I'm from the south (Alabama) and never heard it past age 12...only in movies.

    Can’t a nurse be fired?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Barbara Fouch Lentz's topic in General Nursing

    As a veteran, I choose not to use the care anymore. What I have seen firsthand as a patient prior, and have dealt with in care coordination currently, is pathetic...There may be good VA facilities...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Hoosier_RN replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is the same poster who called people "idiots" in a thread calling alternative therapies "witchcraft". Believe me, that poster doesn't need children with the lack of maturity

    Hoosier_RN replied to Shawna Kratochwill's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, sadly, they wouldn't. Business is all about money, most businesses don't care about anything but their precious image. If an employee gets hurt in the process, they can be

    Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    Hoosier_RN replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Just keep plugging. Despite what the media says there really isn't that big of a nursing shortage. In some areas, yes, in other regions, no so much. Even some of the younger nurses are having...

    Another thought: was the deceased a frequent flyer? One who possibly came in with the same complaint often? Not that it makes her death any less acceptable, but if she were a FF who did that, I could...

    I find it strange that a 23 y/o calls their dad "daddy"...very much like a young

    Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    Hoosier_RN replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, it's a reality with our Instagram/FB world where everyone looks perfect. And youth, sometimes incorrectly, signifies

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    I agree @hherrn. Not only did it not mention details about the wait, we don't how busy that ER was and acuity of others present. So many details missing. And many yell chest pain/SOA to get seen...

    Who wants to hire a graduate nurse at 55?

    Hoosier_RN replied to RNat55's topic in General Nursing

    Most states/schools require MSN + x years of experience in the area that they teach clinicals in. To teach didactic classes, most require DNP; this is for ADN programs and above. I would give...

    Getting Hired as New Grad in Acute Care?

    Hoosier_RN replied to nurset93's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The Bay Area is notoriously hard for anyone without 1 year, or more, acute experience to get into the hospital. Many threads on here about this. You may have to move out of state, or other area of the...

    PRN nurses on-call mandatory?

    Hoosier_RN replied to KoshkaBuba's topic in Home Health

    I wouldn't do it either. PRN means at agreeable availability. What if you have another job, and your on call falls on your work weekend? Do they expect you to not go to your other job, just because?...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    This is sad all around. But when she left on her own accord, I think that the hospital may be off the hook. Short of breath and chest pain, she should have been on a monitor...I wonder how this will...

    Annual Dog & Pony Show

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    In the case of restraints, I've always heard that anyone could initiate for safety, only the RN could discontinue. For Clark's unnecessary cussing...I would have stopped him dead in his tracks by...

    Out of State License

    Hoosier_RN replied to mcox119's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in IN when I graduated, applied to test in KY for my KY license. You can apply to test to any state that you wish, as long as you meet their educational criteria. OP will just need to update...

    Dropping off resume/portfolio to unit you applied to?

    Hoosier_RN replied to leighannquismo's topic in General Nursing

    When I was the ICU manager years ago, I wasn't even allowed to take the resume. I had to refer them to HR, who would then refer them to the online job board. HR wouldn't take physical resumes either....

    Out of State License

    Hoosier_RN replied to mcox119's topic in General Nursing

    By the time OP tests, they will be living in MO. Have your school send documents to their BON. No reason to test for KY if your not living there. Even with compact licensure, KY is out, as it won't be...

    Witchcraft Resurgence

    Hoosier_RN replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    With the attitude of calling people "idiots" because they don't agree with your view of western medicine, you really should rethink going into a "people helping" profession. Your attitude will show...

    This sounds like a LTC situation to me. They generally don't care about time cost, only supply costs

    OB Unit for Male Student

    Hoosier_RN replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    I did say that I can't believe that the hospitals would risk negative press. By the same token, many schools, CA programs included, fight for clinical space for students. This said, many schools...
