  1. Go RoseAnn!
  2. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    Sensibility: You are one very scary, misinformed person. You refuse to recognize the years of evidence regarding the high infant mortality rate in the U.S. and decide on your own that it must be attributed to abortions?
  3. Coworker nurse trying to ruin my reputation...

    Defamation Laws - Slander and Libel Laws
  4. What is Nsg Dx, and Why Should I Care?

    I usually lurk but this post caused my BP to rise. I'm actually flummoxed that someone is still a NANDA true believer. That and "synergy." My head is still shaking.
  5. No breaks (class action lawsuit)

  6. Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    "with the pipeline of new nurses entering the workforce the scales are going to change.....and the entitlement attitude that i see is going to fade away...." that statement just took my breath away. omg, nurses everywhere are struggling desperately ...
  7. Hello Everyone: I found a certificate for case management available online through the University of Southern Indiana for a reasonable price. Looking at the local job market, it appears that requirements stress Home Health experience at a minimum (I ...
  8. this is my point exactly.... there is this commonwealth of "that's just the way it is" that keeps the system mired in a predictable state of benign comprehension. i'm in agreement with you, airbrushguy, and i feel despair every day at the way we are...
  9. Again, don't do it! I became an RN in my mid 40's and it was the worst mistake of my life. If only I knew then what I know now. Become a volunteer. You will make a difference. Volunteers can be the shining light in the day of a patient and in the day...
  10. Leave Good Job for Nursing?

    I became an RN at the age of 43. Fourteen years later I think of it as the single biggest mistake of my life. A sentinel event. People are different. However, not a day passes that I don't regret that late life decision and wish that I could go back ...
  11. For "Second Career" Nurses

    I actively discourage people from considering nursing as a career. I became a nurse in my middle forties and consider it to be the worst mistake of my life. I was determined not to be a quitter and the joke ended up being on me. I have made it to a h...
  12. Hi Everyone: I'm an RN with 12 years of experience in med/surg, telemetry, and ambulatory surgery pre- and post-op. I'm interested in shifting my career to monitoring clinical trials. I have begun the first module of the online CRA course by Clinfoso...
  13. Nurses' Unions

    Wow! This one paragraph reveals so much about you. Do you realize how your statements are only a breath away from being fascist in definition? You don't approve of someone's behavior - in order for them to receive care that is subsidized by public mo...
  14. Scripting Nurses?

    This sounds like the Studer Group in action. Quint Studer is a hospital consultant who makes millions preaching this crap to hospital administrators who buy his book "Hardwiring Excellence" like it's the new "One Minute Manager." His group advises th...
  15. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    I was completely aware that I would start a "pile on" with my caustic message. I showed my message to my husband, laughing to him that I knew I would disturb the nurses who were writing warm and fuzzies to encourage the woman to attend nursing school...
  16. Help...husband discouraging me :(

    I have to wonder if you guys are delusional. I began nursing in my mid 40's and I tell people it was the very worst mistake of my life. Because I made such a crucial change late in life I find that it's difficult to find my way out of this hell and i...
  17. Bloody awful Nclex!!

    Maybe I didn't make my point very clear. As WV_heart_RN states, "It is not the number of questions at all. The computer will continue giving questions until it has determined with 99% certainty you have reach minimum competency." In other words if ...
  18. Bloody awful Nclex!!

    I just wanted to tell you that you have a really good chance at having passed if the computer stopped the test after seventy-something questions. You would have to be overwhelmingly wrong in your test answers for the test to end so soon. Otherwise th...
