  1. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    fab4fan replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that the program was willing to work with you. Consider it a moment of grace, which we all need from time to time. Now, the most important thing is to make sure that you apply what you've...

  2. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    fab4fan replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the nurse precepting should have checked, but a lot of what I read sounded like the responsibility was being dumped back on the precepting nurse. Wrong, IMO. Usually in the last semseter of...

  3. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    fab4fan replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound harsh, but at this point, so close to graduation, you should be using your critical thinking skills to figure out why this is happening and how you intend to fix it. You should...

  4. Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    fab4fan replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, Deb. You could take the tenents of any faith and skew them to make the believers of that religion look crazy. Casting aspersions serves no

  5. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    fab4fan replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with this post. These are serious errors, especially from someone about to graduate. Re the IV tubing: Yes, it is a big deal. Rule #1...if you don't know, look it up. Suppose the...

  6. Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    fab4fan replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, could we please refrain from FLAMING other peoples' religious beliefs? How would you like to be on the receiving end of someone ridiculing you for what you

  7. Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    fab4fan replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with caroladybelle; it is totally inappropriate to be badmouthing someone's choice of religion. What if this had been an anti-Catholic thread, or anti-Jewish, anti-Presbyterian,...

  8. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    fab4fan replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    Since you are not a full-fledged RN yet (are you even a student?) your opinion, which you do have a right to express, isn't going to hold a lot of weight with nurses who are out there working and...

  9. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    fab4fan replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the reason they (domestic auto manufacturers) are having problems is they did not adapt to/anticipate market change. Add to that years of dismal performance of their cars compared with foreign...

  10. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    fab4fan replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree, Deb. I would be more than willing to go back to school and get a BA, but that degree is not considered "enough" by the ANA, and employers do not consider it an adequate alternative to...

  11. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    fab4fan replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    I have similar feelings about the ANA; they are too focused on their own political agendas than what nurses really need now. If I have to hear one more time about "safe needle/needlestick prevention"...

  12. Trying not to panic (rant). . . .

    fab4fan replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's good news. Be glad you don't have to take state boards (as they were called back in the Dark Ages) like I did; two long days followed by two and a half longer months of waiting by the mailbox....

  13. Trying not to panic (rant). . . .

    fab4fan replied to NurseyBaby'05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you actually have to have the permit in your hand to start this job? Most employers are usually pretty understanding; as long as you have proof that you passed NCLEX (which you should be able to do...

  14. Safe Harbor when to evoke it?

    fab4fan replied to Jdon's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's unfortunate your nurses have to risk their licenses by working with med aides, but that's another thread.

  15. Need help, Female nurses at work dont help much!

    fab4fan replied to milenko's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is not intended to flame, but this is not the first time the OP has asked similar questions about IVs and attributed his difficulties to "female" nurses. His questions about IVs (and...

  16. Doctors who aren't doctors?

    fab4fan replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Surely you must know by now: MD= Medical Diety Actually, lawyers are JDs (Juris Doctor), but they often just go by Esq. (Esquire) just to confuse everyone.

  17. Other Side of Coin---Less than Humble New Grads

    fab4fan replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know which is worse, the eye-rolling or the bored sigh. Heaven forfend you try to point something out to them, because they are the first ones to scream, "Nurses eat their

  18. Marginalization of Male Nurses

    fab4fan replied to earthlovers123's topic in Men in Nursing

    At the risk of sounding cynical, take a look at the OP's post history.

  19. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    fab4fan replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting that the only times nurses had a major role on "Grey's," the following plot lines were: 1. A tragic, dying nurse; 2. A nurse who gives one of the interns syphillis, and is subsequently...

  20. Certified Medication Technician

    fab4fan replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

  21. Modern Healthcare: Laboring for union nurses

    fab4fan replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If they come to Pennsylvania, I'm in.

  22. Nursing Issue - Medication Aides

    fab4fan replied to M&MRN2005's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not so. If she gets caught by the state, the least that would happen is she would be barred from obtaining a nursing license in the future. It would not be all on the facility. I get a flyer...

  23. Nursing Issue - Medication Aides

    fab4fan replied to M&MRN2005's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Tiffany, you can't be "charge nurse" because you are not a nurse. Falsely representing yourself as a nurse could land your butt in jail (which would seriously interfere with your plans to become a...

  24. Public Misconceptions

    fab4fan replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    If a pt gets coffee instead of tea on his dinner tray, it's the nurse's fault, and it is perfectly acceptable for the pt to express his displeasure by throwing his tray at the nurse. And I want to...

  25. what is your opinon on ADN degrees?

    fab4fan replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I think a simple google search will provide you with more than enough
