Why are paper towel dispensers locked?

mvanz9999 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

Yeah, what Stevielynn said. I don't know how many of you are aware, but the paper towels are locked EVERYWHERE. They are locked in the bathrooms in our building and we are a marketing services firm....
Will we remain divided and conquered?

mvanz9999 replied to anonymurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

I don't see the difference. What is the difference when an attorney leaves law practice because they don't like the pay, hours or caseloads AND when an nurse leaves because they do not like the pay,...
Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

LOL! I think we're all confused. I cannot say for all programs, but for those in Illinois yes....and no. The way the programs work are this (there are two). A) UIC: You enter the masters program,...
Has anyone read this nursing article. can you tell me what the initials after author

mvanz9999 replied to shannyn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

MS: Master of Science BC: See following post PhD: Doctor of Philosophy RN: Registered Nurse Emeritus: One who is now retired but still holds the title of the position previous to retirement....
Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

LOL! No, that's not what I mean. Nurses are trained as nurses and doctors are trained as doctors. It's apples and oranges. I think the point of the post that I was making is that med school...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

So, in your opinion, becoming an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner could actually be a huge
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I see your point and it makes sense, but my question is *who* is going to do all that (ie, get RNFA, ACNP, and FNP) to work in ortho? The pay wouldn't equal the cost of education, not to mention the...
Will we remain divided and conquered?

mvanz9999 replied to anonymurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

While you are right at a high-level comparison, a more basic comparison would be viable. I just don't know where to find that data. Of course patient ratios are only in health care, but you could...
Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

Can I jump in here? The previous posts means that med students and direct NP students aren't that different. IE, direct entry NP programs do not *require* previous healthcare experience. Neither...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I sometimes have trouble following what you are trying to say. The OP is asking about the role of FNP in the hospital setting, and I don't think that has been clarified. They are saying they want...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I think if you want to work in a hospital, you should choose Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. We know that they can work in hospitals. I think the FNP role may or may not be able to, depending on your...
Will we remain divided and conquered?

mvanz9999 replied to anonymurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

I think the issue lies with Americans in general. PhriedomRN is correct. There must be a nationwide movement to make certain demands, and I don't see that happening. As a nation, we are simply too...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

So what specialty are the 3 NP's certified in? Are they FNP or ACNP? I'm really confused by the whole FNP vs. ACNP
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I'm not 100% sure about that, but the schools I'm looking at have post-masters certificate programs. I don't know whether that is actually required, or if you only need to meet the credentialing...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

I don't understand that sentence. Oh...you mean "that's what the degree will offer you?" Interesting points you make about hospital credentialing. This doesn't only apply to nurses, it applies to...
What are the roles of FNPs in hospitals?

mvanz9999 replied to BerkeleyMom's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

Darn it! PinoyNP beat me to it. The link above looks like something a lawyer needs to interpret, not a layperson. It states "..they [NURSES] are obligated to know and conform to the Nursing...
A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

mvanz9999 replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I don't start until next Sunday. I must say, I was AMAZED at the price of the textbook.
A nurse is a nurse is a nurse... not!

mvanz9999 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

I don't agree. I would argue that employers should be forced to train new grads for 6 months and longer, thereby increasing their motivation to RETAIN those nurses. If you've shelled out money to...
Hourly Pay or Salary... What is best?

mvanz9999 replied to Cairo662's topic in General Nursing

You may have won a case, but that does not mean you are correct. You aren't. I just looked up the laws. *** Employees whom the law defines as "administrative, executive or professional" need not be...
As anyone's 1st job in oncology?

mvanz9999 replied to RN007's topic in Oncology

I don't agree with that at all. Sure, after 20 years and remaining willing to work nights/weekends/holidays and OT, you'd make good money. I'm in IT. 12 years experience, and I'll be taking a HUGE...

Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

Excellent post Pinoy. To the last part of your post, there is another thread on that which references other threads, the end result being "good luck on finding an answer". Either there aren't enough...
Why do other floors think OB isn't real work?

mvanz9999 replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

What I want to know is why nurses must make comments about how XYZ isn't real nursing. Who cares????? You're ALL licensed nurses, you are "supposed" to be on the same team (ie, providing high quality...
Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

mvanz9999 replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

I've been told by some hospitals that the minimum no. of years for NP is 2-3 years RN experience. While I do respect the opinions on the board, and agree with them to some extent, I have to wonder...
