  1. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Guest 1152923 replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the very same thing Wuzzie. Not to say that there aren't disgruntled, jaded nurses who frequent AN, but this website seems to represent a somewhat heterogenous, cross section of the...

  2. When Will the Nursing Shortage Be Over?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    I predict that not until critical mass is reached; when hospital administrators are directly held accountable and they pay out multi-million dollar settlements for patient deaths resulting from known,...

  3. Fast-Food Ads Target Minority Youth

    Guest 1152923 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, many from this demographic are already disadvantaged; having few resources, and often, lacking any sort of parental guidance or support. Using your logic, are unaccredited, colleges and...

  4. Fast-Food Ads Target Minority Youth

    Guest 1152923 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps not a racist conspiracy but still a pretty despicable marketing ploy (borrowed from the US Army), targeting impressionable, minority youths from poor

  5. RN Diploma: California license by endorsment

    Guest 1152923 replied to jujunun's topic in General Nursing

    Three year diploma grad in 1992 (later obtained BSN), multiple state licenses but endorsed by CA without question from

  6. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Guest 1152923 replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes, and yes, choose another profession! As a career RN of almost 30 years, I certainly wish I had. Be a CPA, engineer, IT-similar lengths of educational preparedness with waaaay better hours...

  7. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t dispute the need for a nursing plan of care. What I do have a gripe with, are these obligatory, superfluous NANDA diagnoses and formal care plans; no one really looks at them, and they...

  8. Are nurses really leaving nursing in droves?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Mqshell's topic in General Nursing

    To hospital administrators, it really doesn't matter the reason nurses are leaving in droves as long as the nursing supply continues to be greater than the demand. With this scheme, they can continue...

  9. What I Hate About Nursing In 2021

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Agree 110%. Sadly however, in the absence of Universal Healthcare, the commoditization and profiteering by corporate interests will continue unabated and likely result in more of the same. There's...

  10. Did you just TRY to bully me?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Conqueror+'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a disclaimer, I am fully vaccinated and have no qualms about required vaccinations for health care workers. That said, I've got to agree with the OP on this one and the above example is a straw...

  11. I cant be a nurse anymore

    Guest 1152923 replied to Cg134357's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice from Daisy4RN. If it's any consolation to you, I have felt almost exactly the same way for most of my almost 30 year career as an RN. You are not alone in feeling this way and it in no...

  12. Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

  13. Management Progression Assistance

    Guest 1152923 replied to HOPEforRNs's topic in General Nursing

    H-E, double hockeys stick YES!

  14. The Cost of the Health Care Workforce

    Guest 1152923 replied to Tammy Leigh's topic in General Nursing

  15. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The ANA is in bed with the AHA and in no way advocates for the average rank and file nurse. Why is this and why is it also that almost every healthcare regulatory agency refuses to address the...

  16. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^PERFECT, 110%. My sentiments exactly!! The real truth is that eight hours after the auditors exit the building, the stretchers, wheelchairs, and clutter return to the already congested hallways...

  17. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I maintain that JCAHO is a complete fraud. Of all of the many issues in hospital-based, health care delivery today that directly impact patient safety, what hot button items do you suppose...

  18. Crushing Burden of Regulatory Compliance on Healthcare

    Guest 1152923 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    JCAHO is a complete sham! Through my tenure in nursing, I've been through many audits at the various hospitals I've worked at. This dog and pony show is all in the 'guise' of improving patient...

  19. Mean and Nice Coworker

    Guest 1152923 replied to NewNurse26's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes, and yes! I've had this exact coworker or maybe her doppelganger. She was but one of my many of toxic coworkers over the years. Looking back, not sure of her psych. dx. but a classic...

  20. Memorable Firsts

    Guest 1152923 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    An ED patient diagnosed with a “fractured member” ...ruptured tunica albuginea (usually occurring during intercourse) resulting in massive swelling of the glans and considered a surgical...

  21. Administrators are not our Parents

    Guest 1152923 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    They (administrators) adhere to certain expected and professional standards up to the point that it impacts the bottom line,

  22. Burnout - How long do I have?

    Guest 1152923 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^Entirely

  23. Administrators are not our Parents

    Guest 1152923 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    It's all about the money. Administrators can be counted on every time to protect their interests: $$$. I've seen this play out so many times with physician/nurse relations, even practice issues that...

  24. Burnout - How long do I have?

    Guest 1152923 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    KalipsoRed21, I've followed your posts for some time and all have truly resonated with me. I can relate to much of your angst and disillusionment with nursing. I too, wish I had chosen a different...

  25. Is Nursing Still a Good Profession?

    Guest 1152923 replied to RebeccaB RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree and disagree! As a career nurse of almost thirty years (both of my parents are nurses also), I agree that nursing provides steady employment and many opportunities. That being said, I can’t...
