4. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

   RoaminHankRN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

   I did not read every single post but another classic example of what is wrong with our profession. Do we not have better things to do like improving patient satisfaction, improving our knowlegdge, than to talk about the male vs female and I make this...

5. Is there a need for more male nurses?

   RoaminHankRN replied to reddgott's topic in General Nursing

   It's not more qualified or male nurses we need. Everyone who passed boards is qualified. We (the current RN's) need to be better role models in precepting the new nurses. We need to be positive, better communicators and more team players. As a male n...

6. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

   RoaminHankRN replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

   We should do away with all the extra letters at the end of your name on the badge and stick with RN. Do you really think a patient, physician or other healthcare provider cares if you are BSN, ADN or what have you? Also, there are many in nursing man...

7. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

   RoaminHankRN replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   Fine... but you also need to act like professionals. There are some bad apples in our profession... ASN and BSN. Just having a BSN will not make you professional. I don't hear RN's crying for CE's in every state??? Then there is teamwork, communicati...

   Need your help again. We have started to slim down our book. Question. Do you carry a print out of each unit with the patients and are you required per policy to have a report on each patients? Is that report considered medical documentation and can ...

9. 2 week notice...legally obligated?????

   RoaminHankRN replied to CraftyLPN's topic in General Nursing

   Just be careful not to "burn your bridges." I know you mentioned you probably will not use them as a reference. You should not. But depending on where you live and if the DON "knows" people, if you leave on bad terms, it could come back to haunt you....

10. We make SO much $$$

    RoaminHankRN replied to whipping girl in 07's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be one that complained about not making enough. But as the years go by, you ask how much is enough? Every one complains they don't make enough but never give an amount that would be fair. If we raised the basic salary to $30/hr for every nu...

11. interesting--emts in the ER?

    RoaminHankRN replied to tiger's topic in Activism

    How about you read before opening your mouth. In no way have I advocated replacing RN's with EMT's. So get off the notion that I am thinking that way. Second, I am proud to argue my point about post 9/11. Heck even pre 9/11. And as I said before yo...

15. Question for House Supervisors

    RoaminHankRN posted a topic in Management

    If your a house supervisor you know what I mean when I talk about the "book." Contains all our goodies to run the show. We carry around a big bulky book and are looking at options to reduce the size. I even slim down to a smaller binder and use my Pa...
