  1. Do you know how to do CPR well?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot believe that someone who graduated from a nursing program could ask a question like

  2. FIVE-STAR experience in a Luxury Hospital?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Lenap's topic in General Nursing

    Would that this actually happened. Even non-profits are all about making even more

  3. Racism in the workplace

    PANurseRN1 replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously.

  4. Racism in the workplace

    PANurseRN1 replied to staygold's topic in General Nursing

    From reading some of the posts, it's as if you're guilty of being a racist just by virtue of being white. Tell me how that's not

  5. petty ? about med student

    PANurseRN1 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    Suppose he had just gone ahead and helped the pt to the BR, and unbeknownst to him the pt needed a UA/stool spec.? Then the nurse would have had his head on a pike for that. Or if he'd helped and the...

  6. Is a 78% school pass rate for NCLEX PN good?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's a pretty crummy pass rate for a

  7. Cullen donates a kidney ????

    PANurseRN1 replied to SilentfadesRPA's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, I wouldn't put a serial killer in the category of someone who "made some bad decisions."

  8. Condition H

    PANurseRN1 replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps if they were informed that they would be slapped with a hefty surchage for frivolous use of the "Code H" system, that might

  9. Condition H

    PANurseRN1 replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. People these days have such an attitude of entitlement that there is a huge potential for abuse. When you hear "Code Blue" being paged, you pretty much have a good idea what you're getting...

  10. The War with the Floors

    PANurseRN1 replied to zima60's topic in Emergency

    Wow, that would work. As has been amply stated in previous posts, there are many factors that can cause delays in pt. transfers. Never have I heard ED staff sitting around saying, "How can we make...

  11. Disabled RN looking for job

    PANurseRN1 replied to LisaRNinarkansas's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have good computer skills? Can you type fast? You could do medical transcription. If you're fast and accurate, you can make a pretty good wage. Your medical background would be particularly...

  12. sickle cell crisis...when enough is enough....

    PANurseRN1 replied to FreshRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ever heard of a CADD-PCA/other home PCA device? Pts. can indeed go home on IV pain meds. These docs are causing this pt. needless suffering. I have zero tolerance for healthcare workers who...

  13. Scrubs catalogue conspiracy!

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNsRWe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I order exclusively from smartscrubs.com, and my stuff never comes from Tafford. Tafford's products and customer service are crap elevated to high

  14. Confused - Associates or BS

    PANurseRN1 replied to Miss Apprehensive's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the OP needs some clarification; it's ASN/ADN. Definitely not abbreviated to sound like the word for someone's

  15. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, replied before reading mod.

  16. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    If you came across as implying that becoming a PA would make you better than a nurse (which is what you just did), then yes, I can see why you got negative

  17. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    PACPhD wrote: How dreadful that nurses were in upper management positions! Someone should definitely put them in their place, like making coffee and standing up when doctors (and PAs) enter the...

  18. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    How wrong you are: www.aapa.org www.physicianassistant.net http://www.physicianassistant.com/ www.studentdoctor.net has a section devoted to PAs www.paworld.net...

  19. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    If the OP wants to vent against nurses, then maybe he should direct that venting to one of the many PA BBs out there, where you can read all kinds of threads about how stupid, incompetent, fat and...

  20. Never understood nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to PACPhD's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely spot on. If 8 out of the 10 places were problematic for the OP, then it stands to reason that maybe the OP's attitude/manner in dealing with the nursing staff was the issue. I have had...

  21. Over 20 years at the hospital, left and not even a "thank you"????????

    PANurseRN1 replied to 27YearRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think others pretty much summed it up. Mgmt. was probably glad, because now they can hire an inexperienced newbie at a cheaper rate. You cannot expect your employer to be loyal to you anymore. It's...

  22. Need to Interview a PHN with a Master's degree for project in the BSN program

    PANurseRN1 replied to sardan's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe because you've limited your survey to nurses with a master's

  23. Has anyone here ever put a doctor in their place?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    There was one doc who was griping about me behind my back. Just the usual picayune stuff; I was new to the dept. and wasn't doing things precisely how he liked them. I got sick of hearing about it,...

  24. The heart attack thread

    PANurseRN1 replied to catlady's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with those e-mail messages. After a while, you can spot the "urban legends" within the first couple words. Snopes is your
