    APRN. replied to NurseCalamity's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    APRN. replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    Holier than Thou? Have you ever observed what happens in a courtroom when the nurse is desperately trying to explain what they did because "everyone does it"? It is extremely humbling to watch. I...

  8. Nursing Dose

    APRN. replied to guest449786's topic in Patient Medications

    The thought of what could go wrong, is far to great a barrier for me to even attempt such a thing. I've spent too many years working on degrees to risk all of that on something like diversion of...

    APRN. replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students

    With friends/room mates like that, you sure don't need any enemies. It's time to try a healthy dose of limit setting. You will be happier in a more supportive crowd of

  13. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    APRN. replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

  18. Calling yourself an RN

    APRN. replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While you're deciding, perhaps you should refer to your nurse practice acts to see if there is a fine involved for your state. The more people who laugh this off as a joke, the less anyone care that...

  19. Calling yourself an RN

    APRN. replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the OP: what you condone, you own. It would really bother me if someone came to me and said "so and so calls herself a nurse. It's been going on for a year like that". If I know that YOU know it...

    APRN. replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

  24. Clinical nurse leaders----

    APRN. replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in a CNL program as an experienced RN. The CNL role is the right blend of "specialized and generalized" so that you don't get "pigeon-holed" into one area of nursing like the CNS, NP, Educator,...
