    hbscott replied to pieWACKet's topic in General Nursing

    Some in the public may hold nurses in high esteem but society as a whole does not respect or compensate nurses well for the responsibility they own. And I believe the quote goes something like this:...

    hbscott replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

  6. God and the Dying Patient

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

  7. God and the Dying Patient

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

  8. God and the Dying Patient

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen many "deathbed" conversions of self-proclaimed agnostics and atheists in my past Oncology settings. This was certainly not true for all my patients but I can safely say this was true for...

  9. Verifying Nurses' Backgrounds - How Much Should We Know?

  15. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    True but to make the survey valid (to some degree) the survey criteria should be consistent over the years. Wouldn't that population have also been included in years past? Is it a simple "supply and...

  16. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Alone in the wilderness are we?

  17. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Now that is some good thinking! Anybody else care to add to the working hypothesis? Shall we call it the "Governing Dynamics of Nursing Salaries?"

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    "HBS- Lets be nice here " :blushkiss

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Anniekins Says: "The supply is DOWN, the demand is UP, so I would expect there to be an increase in pay, not decrease.....according to what I know about economics." If we accept the premise as stated...

  20. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like there is a very interesting governing dynamic at play here (looking at the salary numbers posted above). Perhaps this could be expanded on? Nash equilibrium and/or evolutionary and...

  21. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    If there is a shortage in the nursing labor market then please explain the drop in annual salary? Has the demand for nursing care gone down or has the supply of nurses gone up? Anybody have an...

  22. Survey Says...

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Anybody want to venture a guess on why that is? If you need an economics refresher see link below but usually a "common sense" reply will suffice......

  23. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    See Link Below: https://allnurses.com/t56634.html

  24. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    hbscott replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that is a true statement in some instances. However there are many other issues as well that contribute to nursing's woes.

  25. Why, would any RN oppose requiring a BSN for all future nurses?

    hbscott replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes, "Mercenary Nursing" which is not to be confused with the Angel of Mercy. I guess we will eventually have to get a ANCC certification for that too.
