    ANA wants GM foods labeled, please join effort ant tell FDA

    PMFB-RN replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I I was asking a question, not making a statement. You can tell by the "?" mark at the end of the sentences. A question I don't know the answer to and was seeking information. I know you already...

    ANA wants GM foods labeled, please join effort ant tell FDA

    PMFB-RN replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Here are some facts that may make you feel better. ALL milk and dairy products are free of antibiotics. Dairy cattle are NEVER fed antibiotics and only receive them in the case of an illness and then...

    That is the question I asked. If you don't know the answer just say so. Why ask me? Did I say it was

    ANA wants GM foods labeled, please join effort ant tell FDA

    PMFB-RN replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No, doesn't change that particular fact. I am only making the point that Europe's decision to ban their import only tells us one thing and should not used as any sort of indicator of safety or lack...

    The most annoying student

    Sounds like upper nursing managment potential there. Seriously in some of the hospitals I have worked in he would be headed strait to the top. Can also see him eventualy getting high up in the

    "Cock Doc" for urology is a common one around here. Not so much with nurses but with other physican

    PMFB-RN replied to dcookRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    True but that tells us nothing. Europe is ALWAYS looking for the slightest excuse to reduce or eliminate agriculture imports from the USA. It s a huge sore point for them. If you think Europe's...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    PMFB-RN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Having worked in a dozen different hospitals in 4 states and two contries I have had to use a number of them. I haven't used all of them so I can't say. A freind of mine who is co-owner of a tech...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    PMFB-RN replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    My experience is that the oppisit happens. Computer charting takes so much longer, and is so much more work, and requires so much more concentration than our old tri-folds that the nurse has much less...

    Doing away with Scrubs

    PMFB-RN replied to Kcwestportboy's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are right that WAY too many people are wearing scrubs. However redesinging scrubs to look different won't solve the problem becuase the problem is with out of toutch, lazy and stupid managers and...

    Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    Nothing I have ever seen indicates that BSN as entry to practice is remotely interesting to the ANA. They are all about getting

    Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    PMFB-RN replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We could have BSN as entry to practice long ago IMO if nursing had taken the well trodden path that respiratory therapy is now taking. Such a common sense and established path isn't good enough...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

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

    Its so embarrassing that the ignorant, paranoid, fear based behavior of unsophisticated and cowardly Americans is being broadcast around the world. I mean none of us should be the least bit...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

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

    I am guessing that every one of the NURSES ( it hasn't escaped me that ONLY nurses have actually gotten Ebola in the USA, and that ONLY a NURSE has been imprisoned) who are returning from caring for...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

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

    It's really no surprise that its NJ & NY who are the first to (over) react in a cowardly fashion. Apparently being a nurse is grounds to be kidnapped. If I were in her shoes I would attempt to...

    Scheduled overtime

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

    What a crappy place to work! That hospital, and many others, are reaping the benefits of the deliberately created glut of nurses. They created the glut for this exact reason, to give them the ability...

    I hope she comes out of it well and comes back to us. I consider her one of AN's most valuable contributors. On a side note can you imagine the pressure of being her nurse? I would be nervous as a...

    PMFB-RN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am always amazed when I read things like this. I have only ever worked at two union hospitals and both used merit based pay. Everybody who got "satisfactory" gets a small raise every other year. But...

    Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    PMFB-RN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh I very much disagree. I think that is a very inaccurate assumption. Police and firefighters, being mostly men, don't really expect to have their schedule catered to them to meet their family needs....
