    BrokenRNheart replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

  3. Kicked out of Nursing program

    BrokenRNheart replied to leereynold218's topic in General Nursing

    BrokenRNheart replied to Bailey 1982's topic in General Nursing

  6. Loose visiting policies lead to HIPAA violations

    BrokenRNheart replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  7. background check

    BrokenRNheart replied to Bailey 1982's topic in General Nursing

    Often times paying a fine and not getting in trouble leaves you record clean. If it was before 18 - it is not available. You can do a check on yourself through www.whitepages.com for $59.95 I don't...

    BrokenRNheart replied to lilprinzessky's topic in General Nursing

    You took a lot on. It's only natural to feel scared and overwhelmed. I would suggest that you make sure you are up to all of this at once so it doesn't interfere with graduating and exams. Check this...

  10. If they're paying 50k+ out of pocket maybe they *should* expect to be waited on...?

    BrokenRNheart replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I find it hard to believe that you are a nurse. It almost seems as if you have come here with a vendetta towards nurses. First of all, I am not getting that $50,000 and I am already working harder...

  11. background check

    BrokenRNheart replied to Bailey 1982's topic in General Nursing

  14. Just wanting to thank the mods...

    BrokenRNheart replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    I missed it. What happened? I want to thank the moderators because they are so good about "heat control" here. They keep this board clean. You guys do a great job

  15. I hate drunk drivers.

    BrokenRNheart replied to Apollorn's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! My son was nearly killed by one - CHI, busted up foot, amnesia - nothing left of the space he was sitting in - hole to the engine compartment where the foot got caught and busted - vehicle had...

  16. Jobless partly because of Politics!

    BrokenRNheart replied to pinoynars's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How terrible. No wonder the Phil nurses want to come here. It sucks here but it's way better than that. Prayers for

  17. MICHIGAN: Safe Patient Care

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have heard this. I would like to find something that addresses staffing issues rather than this ANA. Another site was deleted from the forum

  18. Retaliation for voicing concern over unsafe pratices

    BrokenRNheart replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So sorry to hear about your experience. Seems that is the way it is in nursing. I basically went through it. Generalized term would be "complaining."

    BrokenRNheart replied to onyx77's topic in General Nursing

  21. Quitting smoking.. for real this time.

    BrokenRNheart replied to tachybradyRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am quitting too. I never was a big smoker - mostly a social smoker - I call it "part time smoker." With the last two jobs I picked up smoking heavy and was up to 2 packs a day for a couple months...

  22. If they're paying 50k+ out of pocket maybe they *should* expect to be waited on...?

    BrokenRNheart replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I think that was a really good point. Mama (84softailmommyhere) I can see where you are coming from. Your expectations were not unreasonable. What you are asking for is professional behavior and...

  23. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    BrokenRNheart replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks again. The Magnet Recognition is a good tool for us. Voting is anonymous - make sure you vote if your hospital is trying to make magnet status. I don't think any hospital that allows these...
