And if people respect you, you don’t have to tell them to call you your title. I used to tell my soldiers- “if you respect my name tape, I don’t have to make you respect my rank tape”. I was...
They ask me to call them by their first name. And usually have the patients do the same. And yeah in front of other doctors I would call them doctor so and so. Just like in the military. As soon as...
It’s a special kind of hell. Expensive, redundant and taught by nurses with chips on their shoulders. I loved the email “Please everybody stop addressing me as Mrs. I am DOCTOR so and so. I worked...
Well it’s easy, that’s for sure. I wouldn’t say USELESS, since some jobs and educations require it. Maybe he means useless as in the education it provides in practicality? My BSN was a waste of...
I’m having a hard time believing this isn’t a troll. How can a guy be so insecure he lies about being an engineer major instead of nursing? If you’re for real- women smell that insecurity a mile...
I don’t really sit around and think of myself as being male any more than I think of myself as being white. I just try to beat challenge after challenge. When I was 20 I deployed and kicked some...

They can’t because it’s BULLS.IT. ? It isn’t a race thing. I’ve had stoic black And Hispanic people and really whiny dramatic white people. Those stereotypes they teach you in school are BS....
Well it’s the posters at fault, not the issue itself. It’ll be a cold day before I’m okay with my tax dollars going to abortion, but I understand we all have different opinions and I’d still...
They really need to make a standard. That can only weaken nursing as a procession. It is good to hear not all schools are like this. I mean it must be nice only paying 21,000$ but
Some of them are NPs. This was her first year in school. My best friend has been a licensed APRN for about 2 years now. He says it’s bullsh but he wanted “more juice for the squeeze” when it...
So people here are mature enough to care for patients, but a political discussion is too much? It’s a healthcare related issue. I disagree with OP but respect that they were willing to discuss it. I...
And I’ve asked 5 friends and coworkers how they’re liking NP school and it sounds like my sentiment exactly. Except I think stats is a good math to take. Found it and physics extremely useful when...
“Need to know” is an opinion. The more you know the better. Sometimes I can make better suggestions for my patients when I call the MD because I know other considerations he wouldn’t think of,...
Yeah a lot of nurses can’t. Especially when I float to med surg floors sometimes I’m amazed. Couple weeks back I got pulled for a med surg floor and the other nurse told me her patient was SOB,...
Oh in BSN? Does any BSN require organic chemistry? If so that’s news to me. Mine and every one I’ve known of takes credit in HS chem, which is extremely simplistic usually. Many nurses I...
