    time4meRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

  2. boards need to regulate MA's

    time4meRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Really sick of ma's doing all sorts of things under a dr's license. (or RN license). It is quite amazing the things they do. Scary as a matter of fact. Really feel the boards of Nursing need to...

    time4meRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the comments. I agree. The more I read about what MA's do and what they think , I really know the BON's need to regulate them.. The only thing is , I would imagine their pay would...

  5. I like Nurses

    time4meRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that comment. You just summed up what I've been trying to say in another post, Nursing is busy and stressful. Most of the time we work short staffed, work a lot of overtime, but,...

  6. At a low point- very disillusioned with nursing

    time4meRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    True, I've done nursing management, education and CQI, all of which are busy. But the skills I learned as a "bed side " nurse helped me with that. When I was a manager , our administator felt that if...

  7. At a low point- very disillusioned with nursing

    time4meRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your right. That's what I mean, I just think sometimes it's what you make of it. Most times, even after 30 years I still enjoy or at the very least , don't mind going to work. The hospital isn't...

  8. WORK: Name tags

    time4meRN replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

  9. Does anyone of any good Medical Magazines to subscribe to?

    time4meRN replied to carambula's topic in General Nursing

  10. At a low point- very disillusioned with nursing

    time4meRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Try looking at it this way, at least in nursing we have many choices. There are many professions that , once you start a job you'd better stay there because the jobs are so far and few between. Yes,...

  11. is IV hard?

    time4meRN replied to Ilubrize's topic in General Nursing

    IV's are basic nursing skills. As nurses , we do many things that present much more risk to the pt than IV's.Yes, bad things can happen with IV"s but, usually, "a thumb falling off the next day" is...

  12. ANGRY! There's no place to eat or drink 'round here!

    time4meRN replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I would be tempted to make frequent stops up to all those offices that make all of the rules, and make sure they arn't having coffee with their meetings or while working at the computer. I think we're...

  14. Why do I always hear, why are you ONLY doing LPN?

    time4meRN replied to agldragonRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well as an RN, I love to work with LPN's. Many RN's go the path that you are. That's an excellent way to get school payed for. Ask the next RN that says that to you, why are you only anRN, why...

  18. Crash Course?! Thoughts on RN education

    time4meRN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree, I think more time could be spent in clinicals. The real test isn't spitting info back out, it's working in a critical situation and being able to spit it out like it's second nature. To...

  22. boards need to regulate MA's

    time4meRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct. If a MA or even PA introduced themself as the Dr. it would most likley be all over the 6:00 news. But let an MA call themself a nurse and no one including , it seems, many nurses....

  23. boards need to regulate MA's

    time4meRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    You said it ! MA's are doing some very scary things, It's not just vitals, it's starting IV's infusing meds, doing invasive procedures all under the supposed "watchful eyes of the DR". I am amazed at...
