  1. looking into Army/Navy nursing and would love advice, info, etc!!

    lindarn replied to nursc's topic in Government, Military

    The Air Force will now only commission a nurse who has a BSN or a MSN. They will no longer commission an ADN with a Bachelors Degree in another field. This is something that has recently come about....

  2. Deaconess Medical Center - charting

    lindarn replied to Diddledi's topic in Washington Nursing

    Why are you moving to Spokane? As someone who has had the unfortunate luck of living in Spokane for the past 23 years, I can say, that there is no worse place to be a nurse than Spokane, Washington....

  3. Phasing out Unit Clerks???

    lindarn replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why is is that, when the PTB decide that the budget needs to be cut, never consider cutting their own ancillary staff- THEIR secretaries, administrative assistants, etc, NONE of whom affects patient...

  4. Patients overstaying their welcome in hospitals

    lindarn replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why on earth don't they fly him back to his own country? The amount of money it is costing, will far outweigh sending him back. It can be done- and it should be done. Get social services involved,...

  5. Patients overstaying their welcome in hospitals

    lindarn replied to fallinnstyle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I heard about this Polish woman last year. She had the opportunity to go back to Poland on other occasions. but she just did not want to. I am glad that they forced her to go. She is not the...

  6. Strike breaking agency recruiting nurses

    lindarn replied to lindarn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I submitted the above thread. Sorry that my name did not make it in. This was E mailed to me this afternoon. Anyway, it really burns my *** when I see stuff like this. Using the poor economy to...

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    I belong to a Legal Nurse Listserve. There was a recent discussion on the listserve about the, "Legal Nurse Courses", and their efficacy. An eperienced LNC responded, that she had attended an LNC...

  8. Staff splitting going too far?

    lindarn replied to Maine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And, as with my usual mantra, after you document, document, document, make copies for yourself!! JMHO and my NY $0.02. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Somewhere in the

  9. LPN's Role in the ICU?

    lindarn replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in MICU, SICU

    I beg to differ with you. "LPN and RN:are just letters after someone's name". Those, "letters", indicate and educational difference and legal title. The education of an LPN is similar, but lacking in...

  10. Vickie Milazzo course

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    It only goes to show you, that nurses are so disgusted with bedside nursing, that they are grasping for straws to be able to make money with their nursing degree. I will say again, that it is a...

  11. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    lindarn replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But if they were not in this country illegally, they would go to an Emergency Room in Mexico for treatment. If they could not pay, it would be MEXICO's responsibility to pay for their citizen's...

  12. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    lindarn replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But then, should only parents pay for their children's education? My grandmother, who died at 101 years old, had not had children or grandchildren in the public school system for YEARS, still paid her...

  13. Vickie Milazzo course

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    If anyone is interested, look up, "Vickie Milazzo", on Google, or Bing. There are at least 5 pages of her and her program, including a large one on, "complaints". Words like, "fraud" etc, are used in...

  14. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    lindarn replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would make a complaint to the, "Facilities and Licensing Division", of your state's Department of Health. This is the agency that licenes al health care facilities. Suggest that they make a...

  15. Vickie Milazzo course

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    Here I go again- Legal Nurse programs in the Community Colleges also have, "legal work experience/internship", as part of the program. This can be an opening to work for an atttorney as a student....

  16. Vickie Milazzo course

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    I forgot to mention- it is a disgrace that she encourages nurses to take out loans, (fannie may- advertised on her website), go into debt to allow them to take a course that they cannot afford. And...

  18. Health care a right or privilege

    lindarn replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We already are running the risk, that only the rich, or those fortunate to work of companies who provide medical bebefits for employees, will have medical insurance. There is already that discrepancy....

  19. Nurses working overtime

    lindarn replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

    It is rare, these days, for hospitals to allow LPN/LVNs to work in the ER, OR, or any of the Critical Care areas. I would never work with an LPN in ICU who was given as assignment. It is too much...

  20. Health care a right or privilege

    lindarn replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Doesn't this country have Universal Education? Everyone gets a free public education, even illegal alien children, who snuck into this country with their parents. So what is the issue of having a...

  21. Health care a right or privilege

    lindarn replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Than how is it, that all children, (even unfortunately, illegal alien children who do not belong here), are entitled to a FREE PUBLIC EDUCATION?? Why is a free public education a right? Because it is...

  22. The Mockery of Nursing

    lindarn replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    lindarn replied to rachel33138's topic in Legal

    I forgot to ad, that the AALNC also offers wonderful, low cost, books and marketing materials, how to start an LNC business, etc. The "LNC Core Curriculum", has all the information that you need to...

  24. How powerful are hospital unions?

    lindarn replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And where exactly is everyone to go, when hospitals band together, and provide the same lousy pay, benefits, working conditions, there is an oversupply of nurses, so they can pick and choose who they...

  25. Time to dump my company

    lindarn replied to Travelswithmutt's topic in Travel

    How about becoming an Independant Contractor, instead of always being an employee? Malpractice insurance with NSO is inexpensive. Inquire about how much a business license costs where you live. Market...
