  1. Let's call Oprah

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you're not, but plenty of your colleagues across the country are. We should care about each other. Just because it may be comfy in your corner doesn't mean there aren't a lot of truly horrendous...

  2. Let's call Oprah

    PANurseRN1 replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    She also did plenty of sensational shows about "druggie nurses" or dangerous nurses. Face it, talking about the nursing shortage just isn't sexy enough for Oprah. Besides, I would rather see a...

  3. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    PANurseRN1 replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    This thread should be required reading before a student posts to bemoan why staff nurses don't seem to like precepting

  4. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    PANurseRN1 replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Methinks the OP is a troll from SDN. Particularly since they have a thread going on there about this thread

  5. small community hospital or big teaching hospital as new grad??? pls help newbie

    PANurseRN1 replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Yes, a big hot-shot facility can be great, but it can be overwhelming for newbies. Not to mention you'll be fighting tooth and nail with all the other new people to get...

  6. Preceptor Oops

    PANurseRN1 replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    And that nausea is a good thing! Because I will bet you will never make that sort of mistake again. No harm was done to the pt., and you learned a valuable

  7. Preceptor Oops

    PANurseRN1 replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That's just beyond scary. Didn't you read the hospital P&P first? Cardinal rule is never do a procedure you're unfamiliar with without reading P&P first. This is a perfect example why....

  8. Magnet Nursing Info

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It seems like nothing more than a marketing tool for hospitals. The area hospital that has magnet designation does not have better staffing, their nurses don't have more say in pt. care, etc. This...

  9. Is a Surgeon accountable for slander??

    PANurseRN1 replied to lorster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He's also interfering with your income, in that you are not being allowed to function as charge nurse (and there's probably a differential for that). Actually, the hospital is interfering too, since...

  10. Professional Nurse: BSN VS ADN... need help...

    PANurseRN1 replied to weirdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Look at how much having a BSN has helped nurses in the Phillipines; they're stampeding to get into the US, leaving the Phillipines with a serious nursing shortage of their own. I don't think that...

  11. Hearing Impaired Nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to ark-two's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it's pretty important to be able to distinguish more than just the

  12. Please help me with this because I think it is a bit hinky

    PANurseRN1 replied to nytelytespn's topic in General Nursing

    How is this a HIPAA violation? Being fired, while it feels bad, may have been the best thing that could have happened to you. Not only should you qualify for unemployment compensation, you may be able...

  13. Facility Surveys--what are your thoughts?

    PANurseRN1 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    How are they anonymous on the hospital computer? You have to log in; somehow, they'd be able to ID you, seems to

  14. Norton to pay fired nurse

    PANurseRN1 replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What is the matter with the Kentucky BON? Probation? Good grief, it is really true what they say...the BON is not your friend. Good for that nurse! Once in a while, justice is

  15. Should a 'old dog' change?

    PANurseRN1 replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    Why another thread about "old dog" nurses (even though in this one you're referring to yourself)? That's a pejorative term and is insulting to some of us who have been nurses for many

  16. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    PANurseRN1 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as a fellow RN, I could pretty much size up how busy that floor was, so yeah, I just got the bag of saline myself. (Kept my own I&O, too). The staff certainly were not preoccupied with...

  17. What nursing Managers fail to see

    PANurseRN1 replied to Nursekat64's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While there are bad managers out there, there are really good ones too. I worked as a manager for a year; no thanks, never again. What a horrible experience. If you like having a job where you can...

  18. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    PANurseRN1 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Then you have pts. like me. I was in the hosp. after suspected appendicitis; terribly dehydrated from vomiting for several days. My IV bag was empty and there were no nurses to be found. I was afraid...
