  1. nursing signing doctors Rx's

    no way. they have to sign their script as they are liable to the DEA as well as responsible for the meds proper usage.:nono:Its just like if you signed another nurse charts....BUT WORSE! You could...
  2. Real-World Nursing Assessment

    I really can't see a good reason for it either. Sounds like you did what was supposed to be done. Then again, some preceptors have their own arcane
  3. Work While In School?

    Its a lot to do on top of clinicals etc. but a p/t CNA or tech job might actually help clincal proficiency.Just mke sure itr doesn't cause you to lose sleep or have low energy levels for...
  4. Thank you for your very wise
  5. Medics vs Nurses in the ER

    as an EMT/Tech now ER nurse I do agree with a lot you are saying,However the ER nurses where i work are extremely qualified for the ER. Many were EMTs at one time, others have to do a critical...
  6. Thank you ! I got a lot of flak from a few people for saying the 80% thing.It was actually told to me my a mentor of mine, a doc who had worked with Debakey, Colley et al, on the first human and...
  7. Felony Conviction in TN

    I don't get it.I know that misdemeanors are not counted against you and that charges of violence or moral terpitude( like soliciting etc) can keep you from being an RN but CNA? Are you in a BSN...
  8. Again and again this go round with rn versus bsn. They both take the same tests. Dividing us up is not the way to stay unified and focused on patient care as well as safety. We are all RN's.WE need to...
  9. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    Totally agree! Every other profession regards a bachelors as a sign of true education.Some RN's do resent us but it shouldn't be that way.Unfortunately i have had similar experiences to yours.Change...
  10. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    yes a big difference in areas like complex care, hospice, pain management , forensics etc. Also a huge emphasis on the body, mind ,spirit, aspect. Each program is a little
  11. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    Thats why here its RN-BSN. Its the RN that means you passed the board.The BSN just means we have a bachelors.WE are still RN, s when licensed anmd that is what they want to
  12. Title of "BSN" on badge?

    many do but some don't.besides its the RN thats important to pts.They really don't care about the educational level as long as they know you have the RN. Same as a clinical nurse specialist or APRN....
  13. you are so right.Great points.Instead of dissing more education we should be embracing it.Our profession is one of lifelong learning and some of these so called "BS book learnin'" is not a waste.The...
  14. I really wish yoiu would look at more than one programs srtucture.Lacking in clinicals is not a fact. our program is heavily based on clinicals.As i said before there is one class in management the...
  15. thank you! Sometimes when the future comes knocking it's not an easy thing.I am told that a similar law proposed here in Hawaii split the Hawaii Nurses Association apart. It is unfortunate because it...
  16. you are so right. It really all comes down to the patient. When i entered this profession I knew it would be one of lifelong learning because in this field advances can come so quickly and there is...
  17. In order to get the masters you need the BSN.......there is nothing wrong with more education. That is why there are CME's. Not all BSN programs are the same if all your friend gets is more...
  18. I agree which is why i posted to this originally. like I said we all take the same boards. WE DO need to work together. As far as the BSN choice. There are differences like extended programs in...
  19. First of all I did not mean to denigrate MDs or any other medical professionals. A big MEA CULPA there. I should have stated this differently obviously, I didn't. I meant that as far as patient...
  20. OOps i guess I did hit a nerve.The nurses at the level one trauma center where i work can tell you how much they do and the autonomy they have. my favorite doc even says that two doctors barely equal...
  21. so GOP talking points again? of course blame Hilary....Like the last few years under the shrub and all his lies have been good for healthcare???? i for one wish Bill could have run again.Politics...
  22. Right on! thank you.We really don't need RN's and BSN's against each other.We do the same jobs and have the same training and most importantly take the same NCLEX. So lets stick
  23. To the post saying BSNs don't get hands-on...not true.We have many hours of clinical.Different rotations each semester.We have two or three classes in managment and research. I support RNs but please...
  24. I am a senior BSN student and I find this unbelievable. RN's have been the majority of my mentors and preceptors! We all take the same boards! I just don't see the logic.RN's on the job today do more...
  25. BSN vs BS Title

    R.N.BSN is what we use. The RN is the most important thing to
