    Whatever. When are you going to adress the false statements you made? You have already been asked several

    are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    PMFB-RN replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yes I understand that amd it is exactly my point. Back in the day it was normal for hospitals to mandate uniforms. Since then the profession has evolved and advanced. The (contrary to EBP) move back...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    No, no way. There is no shortage of nurses. Nobody is saying we need to grant more independence to LPNs because of a shortage of RNs. There are no nursing organization fighting aginst greater...

    PMFB-RN replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In my view if they are forcing you to wear the uniform they picked out for you they should be paying for it. Your view that you are fortunate to have a job is exactly how they want you to feel (and...

    are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    PMFB-RN replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I really don't like the idea of being told what I have to wear like a child. But worse to me is that they mandate your uniform but do not help you pay for it. I am curious as to what the...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    I don't think a physician shortage excuse will fly. I used to work in San Diego and every hospital i worked in was lavishly staffed with physicians. As a nurse I could hardly take a step without...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    I can't imagine why that would be. The MBBS is not the same as a bachelors degree in the USA. Their medical school seems to be the equilevent of US medical schools. There are many, many physicians...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    I don't suspect anyone of wanting people to go without care. T I know what you are talking about. I have observed to practice of "health workers" in rural India. They are regular people who get...

    PMFB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Wow, get a clue. Where do you live, 1995? You know that it's a small but growing trend for hospitals to seek accedation from bodies other than JACHO right? We don't have RTs on our rapid response...

    I guess I don't really understand this comment. Obviously everything I quoted above is true I haven't read every singe message in this discussion but I have not seen where anyone makes the claim that...

    UPS Drivers make HOW much????

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

    Fictitious numbers? What are you calling fictitious? Pretty much any experienced nurse can make >$100K without working overtime. Of course there are going to be trade offs. Like for example living...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    I guess my perspective is different. I have recieved very top notch emergency care from providers who never set foot in a college. I am talking about 18-D special forces medics who took care of me all...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    Yes, nobody, at least not me or any discussion I have read so far. Wha? Who said anything about residents leaving their residency early? I asked if my residents are physicians. The answer I got is...

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

    Oh sorry. You all look the same to me. Yes we are well aware that some medical schools have three year curriculms. I appreciate the education I have recieved in this discussion. Before today I did...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    OK, so residents are not physicians. Thank you clearing that up for me. That is a rather curious thing to ask. I don't know of ANYONE who thinks NP = physician. I certainly know better. I don't...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    The point was made that one can be a physician after three years. You commented that the three year residency must have been forgotten. It seemed to me that you are saying one can not be a physican...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

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

    It seems like you are saying that without a three year residency a person can not be a physican. I know that the residents I work with consider themselves to be phsyicans, yet they have not completed...

    PMFB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I agree it's not nurses who are reflected badly on. RTs are great and I am all infavor of them doing RT jobs. Ask yourself how RTs would like if they were all fired and nurses took over their jobs....

    I belive in the "Golden Rule". Spout off rudely to me and I assume that is what you desire in return, online or face to face. No I am not making assumtions. I know though long experience with BAN...

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

    PMFB-RN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't need a study to have a pretty good idea of how good patient outcomes would be if half of all the RNs were eliminated. That said I have yet to see any compelling evidence that entering...

    PMFB-RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I have no idea why you are condescending to nurses either. Here is an example: (chuckle, chuckle) Next time you might want to use a better example. Florida is widely recognized to be severely...

    Assertive with your providers.

    PMFB-RN replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I get that. I worked for years in a place where the surgical residents thought they were demi gods and the rest of us were their servants. They thought we should do whatever they said without...
