    PMFB-RN replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    Infuriating Code Status Changes

    PMFB-RN replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Been there, doing that right now. This is why we have slow codes. Oh I know the ethics people always get their underpants in a bunch when I mention a slow code, but curiously they are never...

    Vaccination Mandating

    PMFB-RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was responding to a post about nurses leaving. He even says "nurses" three times and makes no mention or anyone else. In an organization of 12,000+ people the loss of under 100 people is...

    Vaccination Mandating

    PMFB-RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Indeed, I find your opinion of those vital people to be shocking. Those of us who work bedside are super aware of just how valuable and vital they are. I can't imagine how you could have...

    Vaccination Mandating

    PMFB-RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    100% fake news. The health system I work for has over 12,000 employees. Less than 100 chose to quite rather than be vaccinated. Zero were physicians, and only one was an RN and he is just plain awful...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    PMFB-RN replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    No, you are correct and your DON is incorrect. It IS no big deal. No way I would have cooperated or complied with that write up. I would have refused to even address or discuss it. Any good...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    PMFB-RN replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I feel my nursing notes lack professionalism I simply go read physicians progress notes and appreciate the poor grammar, spelling and use of non medical terms one often find in abundance in...

    I don't know what program you are in so I can't refute your particular claim. However in general your claim is false. Generally there is no difference in the A&P requirements between ADN and BSN...

    Changing the Conversation about COVID to Get More People Vaccinated

    PMFB-RN replied to LeChele Mack's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not concerned about the impact the VIRUS will have on me. I've been bathed in COVID since the start. I take precautions but I'm not afraid of it. It's kinda like a rattlesnake. I...

    You are making the claim that ADN prepared nurses are more competent, educated, and more intelligent. I would very much like to see the data and evidence that supports this

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    PMFB-RN replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They DO have the freedom to make the choice. Except maybe some minor children, every single person who had gotten vaccinated do so of their own free choice. Nobody has been forced. In...

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    PMFB-RN replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unvaccinated: Indefensible

    PMFB-RN replied to guest1168940's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm one of those advocating for prioritizing vaccinated patient over unvaxxed for ICU beds. I find your position that we should deny ICU beds to trauma, or or critical medical patients in...

    The diploma grads are the smallest sample size. 100% have competed the residency, but there have only been a few of them. The ADN grads tend to be much older than the BSN grads. There have been some...
