   NPI needed for discounts?

   CShel posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am trying to get the Verizon discount for nurses but you have to have an NPI number to be verified by ID.me. I am a new grad and just went through orientation at my hospital, and I've never even heard of an NPI before now. Isn't that usually just f...

   Good Samaritan Protection debate

   CShel posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a nursing student in FL getting ready to take the NCLEX and my husband is a retired physician. We were discussing the Good Samaritan law and somehow got onto the topic of applying tourniquets. He thinks that if you are a nurse or doctor you...

   Hope for bullying?

   CShel replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

   I said "put a stop to it when we see it" You said we should not "sit by and watch bullying" How is what I said "coddling" and what you said is not? Of COURSE people should learn to speak up for themselves - especially in nursing, becau...

   Hope for bullying?

   CShel replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

   I am not a bullying target, really, because I am older, not shy, a people person and (thanks to my ex-husband) really good at peaceable conflict resolution. On my last clinical rotation, a nurse came to talk to me about something because she thought...

   Quitting Before My Four Weeks Notice

   CShel replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

   I was going to come here to say this. It is perfectly legit to call out because going to work is unhealthy for you - mentally or physically. If you are miserable, stressed and anxious at work, that's not good for your patients either. You can't ...

   Hope for bullying?

   CShel posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am an older nursing student and much of my class is between 19-24 years old. I know from my own kids (15 and 20) that they are MUCH more sensitive about recognizing and stopping bullying behavior because the schools have done a much better job educ...

   Santa Fe College ADN Fall 2021

   CShel replied to KMART's topic in School Programs

   It wasn't on the application itself? That's very strange, because as far as I know it definitely does count. If I were you I'd just call and ask - the staff and faculty are super nice. The ph# is 352-395-5650 for the Health Sciences dept.

   CShel replied to KMART's topic in School Programs

   Go to the page on the SF site for nursing - scroll down to the criteria/points drop down https://www.sfcollege.edu/programs/3303/ I don't see it on there, but you also get points for previous medical training like LPN and CNA I believe

   Pediatric nurses, What's your favorite place to get cute badge holders and what's your favorite one (gets attention/distracts the kids)?

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    CShel replied to Helen Crump's topic in COVID

    I didn't actually know this, so I looked it up. Given that the federal government has stated that employers can mandate the Covid vaccine, it AMAZES me that there are hospitals that don't do it. It's crazy to me. I am in nursing school and we ha...

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    CShel replied to Helen Crump's topic in COVID

    Absolutely true - but not really my point. Some people have been using the fact that it wasn't approved as the basis for their argument against vaccination. Now that it IS approved, I just wonder if they've changed their minds.

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    CShel replied to Helen Crump's topic in COVID

    That is such a great and important point - stay in your lane. I also agree that there should be consequences. If the ANA can discipline you or remove your license for "conduct unbecoming" like acting inappropriately in public or on social media,...

    Mean girls in Pre-Req / Nursing School, how do you deal with them?

    CShel replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    If you let them get to you, they win. DON'T LET THEM WIN. When I look at mean girls, I think about how pathetic, empty and meaningless their lives must be if this is how they entertain themselves. It's sad and I feel sorry for them. You do ...

    Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    CShel replied to Delia37's topic in COVID

    THIS. SO much this. Added to the fact that patients absolutely should advocate for their own and loved one's safety and well-being, and their wishes should be accommodated (within reason of course). The fact that there was any debate at all about wh...
