  1. Followed MD Order--Now Do I Look Incompetent?

    silentRN replied to LaurenBoog's topic in General Nursing

    You did the best you can do. I wouldn't sweat it. The next day no one probably even remembered. Plus, in my opinion, it seems like all nursing educators talk down to

  2. Is nursing just okay?

    silentRN replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you from experience, it is what you make it. I've learned to love the stress that my job brings. It's the stress and the difficulty that my job makes me endure at times that draws me to...

  4. Joint Commission

    silentRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    What are your thoughts regarding the Joint Commission? Good, bad? IMO, they seem to add a lot of unnecessary stress to the work

  7. American Nurses Association

    silentRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it just me, or do you find yourself at opposite ends with the ANA the majority of the time? For example, I was just reading what the President of the ANA wrote in the November issue of NurseWeek...

  8. Thinking about leaving 1st nursing job after 5 months- any suggestions

    silentRN replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I say at least get a year experience before you quit the ER, Or else if you ever go back to a hospital you'll always be considered a new

  9. American Nurses Association

    silentRN replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! The ANA represent things that I can't agree with. I just didn't like that fact that the ANA was for Obamacare at all cost. I wish they would have read into it a little more and actually gave it...

  10. American Nurses Association

    silentRN replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think maybe if she would have worded it differently, maybe saying "It is a strong recommendation" instead of saying we must, I would have taken it a little

  12. how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    silentRN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing this reform is good for is increasing the insurance companies pockets...now that everyone has to buy health insurance or pay a penalty. It really changes nothing except that the...

  14. how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    silentRN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how this reform will be beneficial for nurses in any way. People are already getting free healthcare through medicaid when they walk in the ED. That hasn't created more jobs. And people...

    She'll probably end up being the CL or Manager one

  16. All it takes to be an ICU nurse?

    silentRN replied to stram87's topic in Critical Care

    I've come to realize that no one knows anything about anything. The MDs guess, we guess...and sometimes we may learn something from it for the next time

    silentRN replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in General Nursing

    silentRN replied to AZblondie's topic in School, College Programs

    i have two friends that graduated with GCU from their program here in Tucson, and they didn't have any complaints, and they are great nurses 3 years later. The truth is, nursing school requires a lot...

  19. Do you like nursing?

    silentRN replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

  21. Just got my BSN, but I don't feel any smarter

    silentRN replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in General Nursing

    All we are are orderlies that carry out orders day by day. We punch in we punch out. There's really nothing special about this job. I think if they are going to start requiring higher education...

    silentRN replied to BunkyRN's topic in Emergency

  25. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    silentRN replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Kind of stupid to require a BSN or MSN just to clean people and hand out a few meds. Makes no sense to me. We all end up doing the same job
