  2. Just one question to everyone. I have nothing against further education so lets get that out of the way. But having an RN and almost completing my BSN, also get that out of the way too. I don't know...
  3. Hello Traumahawk, I totally see your point. I'm probably going a little off the BSN topic about what my only complaint is with "respect" as a Nurse. My only complaint is that when I am sick and I go...
  4. Thank you! You are someone that is making an excellent point and observation. We need more people like you! Have a great day.
  5. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    Hello, I agree with you about giving great patient care but I also want a nice salary for busting my butt off. Basically, I'm not in nursing for the money. If money was my main concern I would of...
  6. Hello and yes it does make sense! Thanks for the info. I have to say Anatomy & Physioloigy I & II helped me understand diseases better but CHEM I & II and Mico did not. I know it's...
  7. Susan9608, Take a deep breath and try to calm down Girl! There is nothing wrong with a BSN. I haven't read every thread but if you read mine right above what you just wrote I think the first paragraph...
  8. Hi Elvish, Trust me if I could of gotten the experience that I did in a diploma program but instead got a BSN I would be on cloud nine! Well, we both know all BSN programs are different. I just...
  9. Hi hpcat, I could not agree with you more! You wrote exactly what I wish they would teach us in these BSN programs. I was told I would get .75cents more an hour if I completed my BSN. Now that's a...
  10. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    I agree with you on the care of the patient but what do you mean by" it's not about the money?" Just
  11. Hello! I just wanted to say that a BS is BS! Back aroung 2/08 you can view on one of my threads of all the classes I have taken. I am very close to obtaining my BSN. In all honesty it's a bunch of...
  12. Hey Bugaloo, You are so kind! Thanks so much for writing back to me so quickly. Also thanks for making me feel like I'm not a freak! It just seems like my brother, sister, and my parents are fine and...
  13. Hi, I really enjoyed reading your thread. I have worked in Med/Surg for almost 9 years. I loved it except when telemetry became mandatory! One class does not make a med/surg nurse a competent cardiac...
  14. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    I said what I wanted to say and I believe I made my point clear. I have nothing else to add. Have a nice day psych
  15. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    Just like Politics if you look hard enough you'll find what ever information you want. Whether it be true or not everyone has an opinion. The truth is sometimes the truth, but most of the time it is...
  16. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    What ever you are describing does not belong to me. I work med/surg not psych like you where sitting on your a*s all day and taking blood pressures and handing out pills is a common routine. I've been...
  17. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    I am in by the way the in "OLYMPIC SHAPE" but when I give 110% of myself it is only normal to get tired even if it's an 8 or 9 hour shift. When you go all out for your patients you will be tired even...
  18. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    The subject here is 12 hour shifts not just the patients but how we feel about the different shifts and what impact they have on us as nurses and the care the patient receives. As a RN I have always...
  19. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    I have always worked 8 hour shifts and at the end of the shift I was pretty exhausted. My co-workers worked 12 hour shifts and then an 8 hour shift to equal 40 hours a week or 80 hours in a 2 week...
  20. Funniest thing a confused pt. has told you...

    Actually, I can't say the patient was confused but definitely lacked common sense! This was actually a patient of my fiance's. Well, this young woman in her 20's came to the ER and complained she was...
  21. Nurses writing up nurses?

    Hey TXRN07, I think the nurse that wrote you up is being a bully. I have been in the bully's position when a medication was missed. My first thing to do is to check on how the patient tolerated the...
  22. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    Hi, I just read your reply and I have to commend you on being so honest! I 100% agree with you. I'm glad someone else realizes what these hospitals are trying to get away with. Thanks for sounding...
  23. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    Hi Larla, Well, now I get it! I still can't find even Baylor in Websters or Tabers dictionary but I understand what you mean. Your hours add up to 160 hours a month which is like working full-time....
  24. Are 12 hour shifts safe?

    You lost me! What do you mean by Balard? It's not in my Webster dictionary and I haven't heard that used in any hospital I worked in. We had weekend people that were considered per-diem, no medical...
