    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

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

    Teachers do not have to have a masters degree. Also I'm just curious: Do any of these "professions" have to wipe butts as part of their job description? Do you think perhaps if part of my job is to...

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The problem I have with these is that I've seen physicians just see these documents and say "oh they're DNR." Um NO. Therefore I will not be filling one out for quite

    12 hour shifts...dangerous?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If I went to 8's I'd probably stay an extra 2 hours trying to get everything done that I felt needed to be done. I've never staffed before, but I'd think it would make staffing that much more...

    Be kind to nurses... we choose the size of your IV

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Is it just me, or do you see a lot of nurses with loser husbands? I think it has something to do with the need to nurture and take care of people. I have a friend who has raised two husbands, paid for...

    Do you work at Hilton?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am aware that doctors order alcohol for patients, and that they order Ensure or other supplements for some of them. It must be my inexperience. I can't think of a good reason to order

    Awww, your wife is just a sucker, according to your little friend here. I guess I am too. I realize one reason why no one with more experience than me wants to be charge. It's probably one of the same...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    OMG....I'm sorry this isn't good customer service, but I like to point out how silly these statements are. "Really, she has 'orders' for coffee? Which doctor ordered coffee for the patient?" This can...

    RN with BSN and feeling stupid

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to trueblue2000's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm having trouble finding where anyone said they had an "equal" shot. Why does that matter to Any Nurse Applicant to Any Hospital in Anytown USA anyway? Put in application. Pray to the gods. Be Ms....

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to trueblue2000's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm pretty sure it's because you're continuing to assert that Magnet hospitals do not hire ADN nurses (until you're called on it of course, which is when you begin backpedaling and saying "YEAH...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Now that would be one reason why I would resent having to get a BSN. If I'd spent the money and time getting the BSN, I'd be like "But I have the required degree and she doesn't!" But I'll probably...

    Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

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

    Answered wrong on Interview Question

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to missrn208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That RN likely has more experience than the floor nurse does, probably more than two floor nurses put together. I mean if it was specified that this person already has a recovery room nurse with them...

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

    Apologies for failing to read the rest of your post. My point is that unless one speaks from experience maybe one should keep one's mouth shut? If a BSN sits in an ADN classroom figuratively...
