  1. Taking away your Time and a Half!

    Sekar replied to efy2178's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Watch out! We have facts posted here! This is intolerable. Who allowed the facts to be posted? Where is the hype? Where is the fear? Where is the propaganda? :chuckle There are the facts...

  2. "I don't know who to vote for?"

    Sekar replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Test Post, I seem to be having trouble and I want to see if this gets through

  3. "I don't know who to vote for?"

    Sekar replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All fecal matter aside, research the issues that are important to you. All of the issues, not just nursing. See which candidate or party best meets your stance on the issues. That should be the...

  4. Taking away your Time and a Half!

    Sekar replied to efy2178's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jaaaman, you are wasting your time. You are attempting to clear things up by posting the facts. But, you are quoting facts and the last thing the liberals on this board are interested in is facts....

  5. Army Nurses Face Biggest Battle Of Their Lives In Baghdad

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When I was in the first Gulf War we provided medical care not only to the wounded Americans & Allies, we also provided to the wounded enemy, and the civilians who were wounded by the war (yes,...

  6. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Sekar replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with tweety here. A Med-Surg floor, 1 RN, 1 LPN, 1 CNA with 12 patients just doesn't seem to be that big a deal. I've certainly covered far more patients with the same staffing on...

  8. Military nurses, recently become civilian nurses?

    Sekar replied to Ms.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you try this one? Go moonlight at some civilian hospitals. Take some leave if you need to, it will be worth the time. Then you will have first hand experience to compare. The extra...

    Sekar replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Stupid 101, 102, 110, 111 are required for upper level management these

  12. lpn-rn...same difference

    Sekar replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

    You've identified the crux of the whole issue. Questionable Conclusions drawn from limited data. Heaven forbid we should draw our conclusions from fully investigated data. Am I to understand that...

  13. Military nurses, recently become civilian nurses?

    Sekar replied to Ms.Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Having retired from the Army in 1996, as a Nurse, I can tell you that you must be prepared for a very different type of nursing. Your scope of practice in the military is much greater than it will be...

  14. Staffing: Just Licensed Personell or Including Unlicensed Assistive Personell

    Sekar replied to angelicaparki's topic in General Nursing

    Eveyone in the healthcare arena has someone supervising them. RNs may be required to supervise LPNs and make sure that they are doing their duties in an appropriate manner but that same RN has...

  15. Medical Assistants in the office

    Sekar replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Nurses don't learn technical skills? LPNs aren't doing high levels of assessments? Gee when I went to LPN school we leaned all those "technical" skills only then they were called "essential nursing...

  16. Medical Assistants in the office

    Sekar replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    The ANA is an essentially powerless lobby. Don't waste your time or money on them. Go straight to the source and work through your board of nursing. In North Carolina, as previously stated, it is...

  17. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I understand your response I really do. You have clearly stated your viewpoint. I disagree and here is why: I have been a Nurse for 22 years. I am every bit as qualified as my female...

  18. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As opposed to the white man who just had himself half beaten to death by a group of black men or visa versa? You can example this to death and still not make it right in one case and not the

  19. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    C'Mon now. That is still a prejudice. Just like not liking egg plant (YUCK!) is a prejudice. Prejudice is a learned dislike & concurrent avoidance of things or people. You grew out of it, but that...

  20. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OK, I understand your feelings, which is why I don't work on patients who want a female unless there are NO females present, this happens from time to time in small facilities. Now if you have those...

  21. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OOPS. Sounds like a server issue. I haven't see those replys yet.

  22. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nope, you did not. You stated what you feel it is rarely based on. I asked you what it IS based on. That is not the same thing at all. Is it based on fear or ignorance? Fear that the male nurse is...

  23. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Then tell me, exatly what IS it based on? Why is it OK for a female patient to refuse the care of an otherwise wholly qualified nurse? Explain this to me in legal sense. Because I truly do not see...

  24. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    Sekar replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sorry jnette, but you are dead wrong on that one. A female patient refusing the care of a male nurse (SEXISM) is EXACTLY the same as a white patient refusing the care of black nurse (RACISM). SEXISM...

  25. Patient Protection LAW!

    Sekar replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OH MY GAWD! What is the world coming to?!? LPN's doing assessments! What's next, IV Medications? How horrible! The next thing you know they might insist that LPNs be considered NURSES instead of...
