He should have been. Did anyone call the police and have him arrested? As long as nursing is reluctant to call the police, and have these people arrested, it will continue. If administration gets their knickers in a wad, call HR, and a lawyer, and t...

This will continue until nurses start to bill for their services. As long as nursings' professional practice is rolled into the room rate, housekeeping, and the complimentary roll of toilet paper, nursings' professional practice will forever remain o...

What a disgrace that the PTB (bean counters), are happy to put our most vulnerable citizens at risk, to save more money for CEO salaries, and frills, that have NOTHING TO DO WITH POSITIVE PATIENT OUTCOMES. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN,(ret) Somewhere in ...

Like coddling a spoiled child. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Somewhere in the PACNW

That is probably because nurses are threatened by administration if they call the police and press charges. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the PACNW

IF you are looking for a book, you cannot go wrong with, "Dubins Rapid Interpretation of EKGs". It is a classic, and I am not even sure that it is still in print. You could always try Amazon. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Somwhere in the PACBW

It wasn't that long ago, that nurses with only an RN Diploma, were still accepted into CRNA programs. I think that CRNA should be a Doctorate, with the level of responsibility that they have. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN, (ret) Somewhere in the PACNW

Police stations will do fingerprinting. I do not know what they charge in Hawaii. I had to get my fingerprints done, and I went to the local police station to have it done. I do not remember how much it costs. Lindarn Somewhere in the PACNW

How exactly is the way to fight back, "The way to fight back is for more nurses to become Master's prepared"? How is having a Master's Degree going to allow nurses to fight back? The ONLY thing that will allow nurses to fight back, is to organize wi...

Kind of reminds you the deep South after the Civil War. When those uppity slaves wanted to do things like send their children to school, wanted to vote. Drink out of the same fountains as whites. They all went berserk over the idea of slaves being fr...

I have no idea why you would want to move to Spokane. Spokane is an economic and employment black hole. I have spent 26 miserable years here. There is NO nursing shortage in Spokane, and has never had one, even when most of the country was experien...

Why is nursing, the only department in the hospital, who are expected to, "do more with less"? Other non patient care areas, are always staffed appropriately, always get their breaks and lunches rarely leave an hour late, etc. Especially well staffed...

If your husband had gone to the emergency room of the local hospital, and did not have insurance, he would have been treated anyway. Hospitals are forbidden from turning someone away, because they cannot pay. Illegal aliens with anchor babies, are ...

The problem would fix itself, if these invaders, were turned back at the border, and not given any freebies. Keep them locked in a prison, pack them in a truck with one open window, and drive them back to where they came from. I am not basing my sta...

ILLEGAL ALIENS, are, 'stealing us blind". There are many articles that document how much illegal aliens are costing this country. Any taxes that they pay from working their minimum wage jobs, are a drop in the bucket, Their free health care, pregnan...

I am sorry that you think that the term, "illegal alien", is a, . 'Illegal aliens' is a horribly dehumanizing term for people who bleed the same color blood as you. The fact of the matter is that they came here illegally, and/or, overstayed their vis...

They might not be HS Dropouts, but unless they are nursing students, or nursing school wannabees, they have a minimal educational preparation to do what they do in nursing homes, etc. Our senior citizens, and our disabled, deserve better educational...

You also might want to try, the State Attorney General's Office, to lodge a complaint. To have employees on your staff, that either hold themselves up to a professional title, or the practice physicians, present their staff as, "professionals", but h...

Membership in your State Nurses Association, includes membership in to ANA. Unless, you live in California. where, about 10 years ago, the California Nurses Association withdrew from the ANA. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN (ret) Somewhere in the PACNW

I am sorry that you need to validate your self worth and self importance, by denigrating BSN programs. As others have pointed out, a Paramedic program now way compares to a BSN program, any where in the USA. Example please, on how and what part of ...

I have no idea what BSN programs you have experienced, but the one that I went to, required us to take Pathophysiology, Pathobiology, inorganic and Organic Chemistry, four semesters of Advanced Nursing (or something like that, I don't have my transcr...

I have absolutely NO idea, why an RN program would not include a class in Pharmacology. I attended an RN Diploma program in the last ice age, and we had Pharmacology in out first semester. I still have my textbook. I am sure that us old timers, tr...
