    Looking for opinions on school

    nurse2033 replied to Thujone's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Forget about the crap you read about being a man and a nurse. Just like in a bar, or the jungle, or at the ballet, being a man is what you define it to be. I wouldn't use LPN as a step to being an RN,...

    Air Force Nursing

    nurse2033 replied to natalie29's topic in Government, Military

    There are so many posts that answer your questions I hesitate to get specific. Spend some time reading this thread. Nursing in the armed forces is just like nursing in the civilian world, except...

    Could use some advice on how to do this

    nurse2033 replied to Rocknurse's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I've never known any NPs that fly and there could be some credentialing concerns. First of all, paramedic is a certification, not a license. This means you work under the license of a physician. But...

    Fundraising for Medical Mission

    nurse2033 replied to Hi_Rhoda's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine goes yearly on a trip. She has created a nonprofit for herself. That way all money that is donated is tax free. I think she also maintains a web site. It also makes it much more...

    Scope of practice Myocardial infarct

    nurse2033 replied to heoidasoulfly's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Rose Queen is right of course. The CCRN only certifies that the nurse has demonstrated advanced knowledge. But in practical terms, it doesn't provide any advancement in scope of practice. Some...

    Patients taking selfies in clinical areas

    nurse2033 replied to whichone'spink's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Photos should not be allowed in areas where other patients might be seen. I just tell people they can't take pictures in this area... And if they want to amuse themselves by taking pictures of...

    BSN male nursing student.. changing majors?

    nurse2033 replied to penguin2020's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I also am not a people person, but I have become much more so due to nursing. This has been good for me as a person, and made my life better. I have never been bullied in nursing. If you are confident...

    Started a new faculty job...[rant/need advice]

    nurse2033 replied to delilas's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree! Unless you see a big improvement in the short term, I would leave immediately. It seems they misrepresented the schedule hoping you wouldn't bail once you found out. I don't think there is a...

    Hospital Nurse Educator Interview

    nurse2033 replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Congrats. Hopefully you have presentations from other things you have taught. Pick the one that showcases your talent the most and most closely aligns with what you will be doing. Whatever you...

    Educator pay

    nurse2033 replied to geminiBSN75's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In my experience classroom teaching is poorly paid, once you do the math on all the prep time. But on the surface it should be at least what you make at the bedside. If you are worth $30 per hour to...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    nurse2033 replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would report her comments to HR. To me that qualifies as a hostile comment, and which is also 100% ludicrous. As others have noted, you can't abandon patients you haven't accepted yet. You could say...

    Contract was terminated, help! do i list this job on my resume?

    nurse2033 replied to Roxy_Peet's topic in Travel

    Don't put it on your resume or list it as experience. Is a few days valuable experience? If directly asked you can explain what happened. But I'm guessing you didn't learn anything that will progress...

    Do others follow this practice?

    nurse2033 replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow, so you are profiling male nurses as drug diverters? That reeks of discrimination, sorry. If you count or witness correctly you would be actually contributing to the safety and security of...

    I feel like I'm losing all of my nursing knowledge

    nurse2033 replied to RN_Vinny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You have leapfrogged over using your bedside nursing skills into the next level, management skills. It sounds like just about anyone, no matter how experienced, would be overwhelmed. You should focus...

    Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    nurse2033 replied to poolnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you ******* kidding me?!!! A pillow is appropriate if you plan to suffocate someone, or use it to silence a gunshot. I've seen police officers do plenty of things that I wouldn't include in the...

    Staff Development

    nurse2033 replied to BusiestBSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with CraigB, adults are adults. I got my degree from Excelsior (MSN focus in Ed) and have worked both teaching nursing students and nursing professionals. I felt well prepared for both. I was...

    Hospital Nurse Educator Interview

    nurse2033 replied to AmeliasAunt's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks for the book suggestion. Once you read it you should drop a review at Amazon, they currently don't have any. I'll do the same.

    Bullied? What the heck is this about?

    nurse2033 replied to ORTech2RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Send her an email and CC your boss. Dear "X", I enjoy working with you but please stop calling me girl. I don't like it.

    Question for AF Reserve Nurses

    nurse2033 replied to NV Nurse's topic in Government, Military

    For flight nursing you must work at the bedside 180 hours per year. I don't know about critical care hours but it might be similar. If you take a management position with no patient care, this could...

    Grad. school GPA for second degree nursing (CO schools specifically)?

    nurse2033 replied to courtknee's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I would think you are plenty competitive for a nursing program. I'm pretty sure you would be qualified for an accelerated BSN program. What you need is the RN, so the level won't matter much. Call a...
