  1. non-licensed coworkers

    BSNtobe2009 replied to smanion525's topic in General Nursing

    Sunnyjohn is correct. The term is a copywrighted profession reserved only for those that are licensed through the BON, and it is illegal. If they are providing care at a hospital and telling patients...

  2. Question about passing drug tests for nursing students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Love2Care4U's topic in General Students

    She needs to take the bottle with her to the drug test and give it to the administrator so she can take the information down to verify the prescription. If your sister doesn't give the information she...

  3. To all parent students: Are your kids making things hard or are they little angels?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I'm going to borrow a little of Dr. Phil's advice on children...you haven't tapped into what your son truly VALUES. He may LIKE certain things...but you have to narrow down to what he...

  4. Two Florida hospitals now charge extra for non-emergency ER visits

    BSNtobe2009 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that is terrible and will cause some of the borderline poor (not poor enough to receive medicaid, but poor enough to where they can't pay their bills) to take unnecessary risks of not going...

  5. Can they really DO that? A rant!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    Or even better....if the hospitals were just honest with the LPN's in advance, and gave them an opportunity to get their RN's within so many years....can you imagine how loyal an employee would be...

  6. Learning Disabled Students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you that the severeity of a disability would be hard to assess. I'm sure there is a way to do it, but I'm not an expert nor have studied methods to do so in any class. I guess...

  7. Community College Selection Process-What A Joke!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Tim1957's topic in California Nursing

    I don't believe nursing is a vocation and they don't get paid vocational wages. It is a skilled profession that requires critical thinking and analysis, and you can't pull everyone off the street and...

  8. Community College Selection Process-What A Joke!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Tim1957's topic in California Nursing

    I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY

  9. Coping c child abuse

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Elvish's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Call me cold, but I think in cases of severe child abuse, the courts and social services should be able to expedite the process of having the child available for adoption WITHIN DAYS. A healthy baby,...

  10. Mystery Patients

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Katnip's topic in General Nursing

    HA! This reminds me of a case-study I read about in college. An experiment was conducted where several college students got themselves purposely admitted, as an experiment, to in-patient health-care...

  11. Your opinion on retirement benes?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    The benefits are the biggest reason I am entering nursing, and many, many hospitals still offer pensions. I think it depends on the hospital system that is in the area that you choose to work in. I...

  12. To all parent students: Are your kids making things hard or are they little angels?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, I have a 2 year old so I don't have experience with older children, but I do know that even at 8, structure is a huge thing for them, and as parents when we are busy, it's easy to take a schedule...

  13. Can they really DO that? A rant!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you why they are not getting unemployment. First, anyone is legally entitled to unemployment benefits if the employer pays into unemployment due to a layoff or even getting fired, unless...

  14. c/section scar

    BSNtobe2009 replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, she only had a baby just a couple of months ago, that was also delivered by c-section. I had a c-section and it took about 6 months for my scar to go down to where it was visually unnoticeable,...

  15. Learning Disabled Students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    Now, that is where I would readily defend anyone with a learning disability....they are not slackers and it would greatly anger me to hear someone describe them as such. However, let me present you...

  16. What? I can't put my mom in a nursing home!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to chuchie's topic in General Nursing

    I think you can get a live-in companion at a fraction of the

  17. Learning Disabled Students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    The thing is, there is a difference between the MD making a compensation and the TEACHER making a compensation. Dyslexia is a learning disability, however, it is a learning disability that can be...

  18. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That is a very good question, and I wondered that. I fully undersand the economic issues regarding having an in-house CRNA. Maybe this is something that the medical schools should be addressing in...

  19. What? I can't put my mom in a nursing home!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to chuchie's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for you! I don't think there is anything wrong when you have to choice but to put a loved one in a nursing home. I just think there is something wrong with abandoning someone in...

  20. Childbirth in Italy

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General World

    That actually isn't true, if they were American Citizens at the moment of their birth, regardless of their PLACE at birth, that is what a natural born citizen is. It is a popular misconception that...

  21. Childbirth in Italy

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General World

    Please re-read my post, I was specifically referring to those that were naturalized American

  22. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think having an CRNA in-house 24/7 makes a facility a Level I trauma center. The fact is, we aren't talking about some things that can be done TEMPORARILY by another doctor or...

  23. Learning Disabled Students

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, maybe I'm being cruel here, but to me, Nursing is an entirely different ballgame as far as working with a disability that is learning in nature. If you can't think on your toes for a test,...

  24. Old School OR stories?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ortess1971's topic in Operating Room

    For years it was believed that blood was sterile if it came directly from inside the body...it was not an uncommon practice to give someone a shot, and then take your finger to wipe up a stray drop...

  25. Not sure what to think!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't take that job...those are doctors that make the news and you see horror jobs on Oprah and 20/20. It sounds like it's a cosmetic surgeon of some type....if I went to a cosmetic surgeon...
