   redhead_NURSE98! replied to Sarah918's topic in Government, Military

   The education section of my promotion consideration was checked “met.” I don’t know if they granted a waiver or considered my doctorate as being in a “related field” (if you saw my duties it...

   Sorry - am I anti-cop if I think they shouldn't suffocate people on a sidewalk for passing a fake $20, or knock a 75 year old man off balance and cause him to crack his skull open for the crime of...

   VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

   redhead_NURSE98! replied to Sarah918's topic in Government, Military

   WOW!, here we sit, at least 3 years after they started discussing getting rid of this joke of a board that it sounds like no HR department knows how to perform. I have an interim chief and she was...

   Refusing to change/toilet pts

   redhead_NURSE98! replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

   No, really. It literally is. I don't have to argue at all about that. Read your job description. I'm willing to bet that any accredited facility specifies that your duties are performed under the...

   Refusing to change/toilet pts

   redhead_NURSE98! replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

   Same here when I was an extern. I never once had a nurse ask me to do something just because she didn't want to do it. I have witnessed it out of RNs at my current job; however it is far removed from...

   ADN's being pushed out

   redhead_NURSE98! replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   Did you hear that, folks? We're undereducated, lazy and selfish. Good thing I'm goose-stepping my way to my BSN as we speak! Fall in, you lazy undereducated fools!

   Possibly Odd Question

   "Not fully dedicated to it:" all I need to know. Pick something else to do. ETA this is probably one of the trolls from that medical student

    Diploma nurses are worthless?!

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to stephdRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I totally disagree with this. I am taking BSN classes now and there's an assessment class. It required me to buy tuning forks to do my assessments. I can't WAIT to join the ranks of BSN floor nurses...

    Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know why they ask. I was around 35 when I got my RN and people would ask me daily, so it's not like they are asking because we look young, or we look old, or

    SICK of BSN Pedestal

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's funny...I took a gym class in college. It was one of many required "electives" needed to obtain a bachelor's degree. There were many to pick from, see, because there are people who major in...

    ADN's being pushed out

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I disagree that it's the "standard," but I wasn't telling you that you shouldn't do it. Just answering why I don't want it. I don't feel I need it for any of the reasons that you stated, since I...

    ADN's being pushed out

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why don't I want it? Because I don't really need it. An ASN isn't every nurse's one and only degree. And yes it is a pain. Anyone who has taken statistics would probably say it's a pain, unless...
