  2. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    fakebee replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    What I find interesting is the concept that completing the RN to BSN transition has to be enormously expensive. Several schools offer online programs for less than $10,000. An enormous amount of debt...

  3. Mandatory overtime in Texas

    fakebee replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Unless management just sprung this on you they are not forcing you to work overtime they are making you meet the work hours you agreed to in your employment contract when you were hired. Surely you...

  4. Rules for Per Diems

    fakebee replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you're not meeting your minimum requirements to remain per diem at that facility I don't understand why you are upset about the manager calling you on it. She has a limited number of per diem...

  5. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    fakebee replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Most employers aren't interested in your motivation for working, just that you do a good job and meet their job standards. Nursing should be no different. The problem in nursing is the Martyr Mary...

  6. Nurses don't know the lab

    fakebee replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    "I should have known better than to come here and think any thick skulls could be cracked"-you certainly have a way with words. I predict you will be on the management fast track based on your...

  8. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    fakebee replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That my ICU does not have a good skills mix. Of the 12 nurses working my last shift, nine had less than one years experience. Flu season will be an absolute

  9. Public Comment on ANA Draft Position Statement: Workplace Violence and Incivility Issues

    fakebee replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Have to agree with Rose Queen that the ANA is completely out of touch with the bedside nurse. Not saying that bullying doesn't occur buT I feel nurse/patient ratios are 10,000 times more important to...

  11. Why would a patients respiratory rate be set at 28 on a mechanical ventilator?

    fakebee replied to Regina518's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can promise you that if your patient's bicarbonate is 7, there's a 99 percent chance he's not in respiratory acidosis. Please provide the rest of the ABG

  12. Nurses being forced to go back to school

    fakebee replied to hrtnsoul's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's not about making anyone a better nurse, it's about the fact that it's an employers market. With job seekers outstripping jobs available employers can ask whatever qualifications they wish. As a...

  13. I cringe at the thought of work

    fakebee replied to ALHRN11's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not suggest teaching to someone with the smallest sliver of experience and who wants to leave bedside nursing at the earliest opportunity- students deserve to have someone who enjoys the...

  14. Do you have (or are you) a bully queen of the ICU?

    fakebee replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    RN Dynamic, The new graduate nurses role is exactly the same as every other nurse working that floor, no more no less. I do find it interesting that so many recent grads feel they are the only ones...

  15. Should I make the move? Am I ready?

    fakebee replied to ataymil8's topic in Critical Care

    If you have been working full time hours for 10 months on your floor and the full time jobs are going to new grads and the only fault in your practice is you take too long in report per your managers...

  16. No more 12 hour shifts?

    fakebee replied to UpennRN's topic in General Nursing

    Doing away with 12 hour shifts would increase the number of nurses needed by 33% in a 24 hour period. I can't speak for anyone else but my health system has continually sought to decrease wages,...

  17. New Grad/Hate My Job/Life is Miserable!

    fakebee replied to Ruby Vee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I must truly be one of the blessed. My first year as a nurse was almost everything I could hope for-challenging, rewarding, fast paced and interesting. After 19 years of nursing I can look back and...

    fakebee replied to the nites's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hope you don't fall off your high horse and crack your cranium, some useless BSN might take care of you- the point being that we have all followed nurses regardless of degree or experience whose...

  19. Joint Commission is a Joke...

    fakebee replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If joint commission was serious about safety they would not give hospitals a potential window for visits. They wou ld arrive unannounced and on night shift. I don't think a hospital in America would...

  20. ADN's being pushed out

    fakebee replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All kidding aside, I'm beginning to think your tinfoil hat might be a little too

  21. So, as a nurse it's my #1 priority to serve your narcs on a platter...

    fakebee replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Medications

    The thing about entitled patients and family members, chronic pain management problems, understaffing and overworked nurses is that it is rampant everywhere, not just LTC, SNF, and AL...

  23. Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    fakebee replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Get rid of the current moratorium on BSN expansion, allow your ADN programs to provide any additional clinicals needed for the BSN degree, and allow students to take higher level electives online at...

  24. Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    fakebee replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Cutting the supply of new nurses by 50% is exactly what nursing needs at this juncture. There has never been a nursing shortage, only a shortage of nurses willing to work under the prevailing work...

  25. Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    fakebee replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The last time I checked 60% of all RNs were ADNs. Since you have a majority why don't you use that to your advantage? Get all ADNs to join the ANA, elect leaders sympathetic to your position that...
