    Rapid Response

    PMFB-RN replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree. Our RRT team prefers 6,000 hours in adult SICU (more if MICU), 2,000 in PICU, and 2,000 in ER or transport. It has happend that people where hired without required experience, usually PICU....

    Any Former Veterans?

    PMFB-RN replied to stratus93's topic in Male Nursing Students

    In my unit medics were regular infantrymen in every way until needed as a medic, except we had even more stuff to

    PMFB-RN replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, butI have also been suspended on several occasions and fired from three differentnursing jobs. I am convinced that being a male RN played a part in all of thesuspensions and two out of the three...

    The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

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

    I agree this family wins the prize. Speaking as a person who has had to live for weeks while infested with lice (while deployed in VERY austere conditions), I can hardly think of anything worse....

    BSN from 4 year program required

    PMFB-RN replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would view it as more likely a sexist move. Since the majority of men enter nursing through ADN programs (thus often go on to do RN to BSN) this would be an easy way to reduce the number of male...

    The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

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

    In the same train of thought. Every time I walk into a patient's room and visitors have their babies and toddlers crawling around on the floor, sometimes putting various things in their mouth, I just...

    The Worst Hospital Visitor I've Ever Seen

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

    So happy that I work in a hospital were all visiting is under the control of the nurses. A spouse saying they have a right to visit doesn't carry any weight in our units. If the nurses feel the...

    PMFB-RN replied to thatguy777's topic in General Students

    Almost certainly the malpractice insurance is paid for her as a benifit of her employment. It's sort of a myth that physicians must pay their own premiums out of their pocket. I am sure a few do but...

    PMFB-RN replied to carmelite's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That counselor has no idea what he is talking about. RN to BSN programs are desinged for working RNs. many thousands of nurses earn their BSN while working full time. You won't be able to workl...

    Assisted Suicide

    PMFB-RN replied to jw001111's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, all in favor of it. I also think we should allow veterinarians assist. After all they are the ones with vast experience, plus the oath taken by veterinarians is less likely to be an ethical...

    PMFB-RN replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    First the anti nursing organization AACN has zero credibility. I am surprised that anyone would use them as a reference. Back in 2006, when there where many, many open nursing positions and...

    Enlisted Navy to Nurse Corps with RN and BSN (Help!)

    PMFB-RN replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    It's not doom and gloom. Its the truth as I see it. I have been observing and participating in nursing for 18 years or so. In that time there has never been more than highly local shortages of nurses....

    Enlisted Navy to Nurse Corps with RN and BSN (Help!)

    PMFB-RN replied to GuelnRn's topic in Government, Military

    This discussion makes me sad. When I was first a nurse the military was begging for nurses. The army and air reserve and NG both commissioned ADN RNs. The navy was also recruiting ADN RNs and making...

    Do you hear nurses will take over respiratory work?

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

    I don't see any inconsistancy in this position. Nurses do need to take back what is rightfully their. I think few nurses have any issue with respiratory therapists doing respiratory jobs, but when...

    So do I in my second job. I have worked in a number of them, YMMV. Naturaly. Completly agree. I haven't seen that argument used anywhere. I do have experience working as a critical care (ITU -...
