  1. Where do I report fraudulent nursing programs?

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    There was an article recently in the Detroit Free Press but it was regarding another facility. I will look on the Michigan state website for a number to

  2. National Medical Academy

    RN1982 replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    By the way, the address for this "school" is at 2550 West Grand Blvd. Detroit Michigan 48208 according to ReRe's post, it's at the DPS office, same address....is that scam enough.? Since I work in...

  3. National Medical Academy

    RN1982 replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    As far as I am concerned, the program is a scam. I just looked up program codes for all the programs in the state of Michigan at the NCLEX website, and surprise surprise National Medical Academy is...

  4. BCBS acts up in North Dakota (another reason for insurance reform)

    RN1982 replied to Moogie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that BCBS was just in court recently about insurance hikes here in Michigan. If I remember correctly it was our attorney General Mike Cox ®, who wanted to prevent the hikes, that took them...

  5. National Medical Academy

    RN1982 replied to jackyo's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Miss Rogers, if you go the the michigan government website, you will find that this "program" is not on the list of approved programs to even take the NCLEX. So you will just be wasting your cash on...

  6. Why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses?

    RN1982 replied to hcer4507's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, lower wages for RNs? Smart idea. (insert sarcasm here)... Really, it's the dumbest thing I've read. I'm not going to be a nurse if I'm going to be paid less than what I am worth. I am already...

  7. Favorites...

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sick of management playing favorites. I've been on my unit for two years and there is a nurse with less time on the unit than me and they are going to let her be charge. It's ridiculous. There are...

  8. what?...q 15 NIBPs with an art line???

    RN1982 replied to ICUmama's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree with you dorimar. If I have a positional a-line, I too use a NIBP to correlate to the A-line. Yes they will correlate if the a-line is not positional and has a lovely waveform. How can one...

  9. How often do nurses have sex in the hospital?

    RN1982 replied to curiousstudent5's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah there are some hot residents here. Some of these guys are so cute.

  10. How often do nurses have sex in the hospital?

    RN1982 replied to curiousstudent5's topic in General Nursing

    My ex would meet his girlfriend, who was the cardiology resident at a nearby hospital, in an empty conference room and.....you

  11. How often do nurses have sex in the hospital?

    RN1982 replied to curiousstudent5's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's time for you to stop watching shows like ER, House, Hawthorne, Nurse Jackie and Grey's anatomy. I have very little time to eat and pee let alone make out with the hot male resident...

  12. Is Health insurance in the wrong

    RN1982 replied to Rise Against's topic in General Nursing

    The whole "health insurance only covers you when you get sick" is not a correct statement. My insurance covers preventative exams such as physicals and pap smears as do most insurance...

  13. Favorites...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yea, forgot to mention that this is my vent thread. I feel better

  14. Favorites...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    When I said deserving, I meant qualified. There are people on the unit who are more qualified than this nurse. You don't work on my unit so you don't see the politicking that goes on every day. There...

  15. RN acting as a Mid-Level provider

    RN1982 replied to xstraz98's topic in General Nursing

    I want to know how you know they only have an ADN? And my guess about the not being a hospital employee isn't all that true. They probably got hired through the hospital specifically for that...

  16. 25K sign on bonus

    RN1982 replied to lamplight_RN's topic in General Nursing

    25K? Yeah

  17. ICU nurses attitude toward med-surg nurses

    RN1982 replied to smallboat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are the only one with the ability to make yourself feel the way you feel. No one esle has that ability. As an ICU nurse, I would appreciate if non-ICU nurses would not generalize all ICU nurses as...

  18. How do you deal with staff members that don't seem to care?

    RN1982 replied to jmejo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm getting to the point where I just don't care about those people anymore. Just come into work and do my job the best I can and go home. I got my own license to think about. I'm not trying to...

  19. Bad night last night

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is just a rant slash vent. Is it wrong to be stressed? I come in last night, we are short staffed so I have a patient who is crashing and burning along with another patient who is stable and...

  20. Bad night last night

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I'm back, awake. Still feeling kinda depressed about last night. Ultimately, the patient dying was inevitable. He coded down in OR then when he came back, severely acidotic and hyperkalemic. Like I...

  21. Bad night last night

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm off to bed too. I gotta work tonight. I did feel like a failure but really considering the circumstances surrounding my patient and his injuries, it was inevitable what the outcome was going...

  22. Bad night last night

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah you are probably right, Pumpkin. It's all good between us though, I talked to her about what I was feeling. Just felt the comment was uncalled for. She did help me throughout most of the night....

  23. Has ANYONE graduated from National Medical Academy?

    RN1982 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It's a

  24. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I disagree. If the new grad fails despite having a supportive preceptor who reeducates the new grad on their mistakes yet the new grad continues to make the same mistakes over and over or yet makes...

  25. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    RN1982 replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    LVNs and MAs to me are not the same. LVNs get nursing education...MAs do not. Not the
