    VA Proficiency Nurse III Frustration & Appeal

    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...

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don’t really know what all of that has to do with what I said, or the original comment,

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That’s what they said....no one needs a gun, barring [except for] extreme circumstances. Good examples of extreme circumstances

    Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to want2b3's topic in General Students

    "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...

    Infractions, petty offenses

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Left Behind's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Yeahhhhh this is nothing. I cannot imagine an application question that would require you to respond in the affirmative for this

    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...

    Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    I love people who start abusing the help when they don't get the exact answer they were hoping to hear. ESPECIALLY when they've just joined. Welcome, feel free to abuse us some more

    ADN's being pushed out

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

    I'm not sure your experience mirrors that of many ADN students, myself included. And why on earth would your hospital pay half the tuition for you to go to an ADN school and then not give you a nurse...

    ADN to BSN credit by exam instead of papers?

    Accused of HIPPA

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to arodgz's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This brings up an interesting question. If a family member comes in and brings mamaw KFC and she's on a pureed diet, is it a violation for me to tell them that she's on a pureed diet and cannot have...

    Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

    They're opening new ADN schools in my home state (and not ITT Tech either - an actual brick and mortar) so they must not think much of

    Unbelievable

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to FlyingScot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm surprised that when someone comes in that everyone would be curious about, they don't computer audit the entire chart and blow everyone up that doesn't belong in the

    Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

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

    What it has to do with anything is that the cost has at least tripled since then on nearly any school, and all of this "capstone" crap that they force people to do wasn't having the effect of...

    Support for ADN's required to secure their BSN lacking

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

    Everything you have said is true. However, how about they let those of us who don't have a BSN worry about its effect on our employment? If they grandfathered everyone in, everyone would be RN's with...

    Unbelievable

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to FlyingScot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry but this is redonk. I wouldn't sign the write up, that's ridiculous. (Is the facility endorsing a HIPAA violation? Is there a whistleblower suit that can be dredged out of this? I sure...
