    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thhhhhhhhhis! I hated to see the 22 year olds go out and get their brand new SUV's and have some construction company build them a brand new McMansion for them and their...

    Frustrated in BSN program

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

    I'm sorry that you read too much into comments. I intended nothing of the sort. I can assure you that if I meant anything by it other than suggesting a possible reason for the results, you'd have...

    Frustrated in BSN program

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

    No, actually they did, I could direct you to the post in another thread. Turns out the person was a BSN grad

    Frustrated in BSN program

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

    You misspelled "judgmental." And I never said spelling doesn't matter. You used a spelling mistake to demean someone you believed only held an associate degree, and I stated that neither spelling nor...

    Frustrated in BSN program

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

    Maybe because those who are calling their BSNs useless actually had an ADN first...and certain people who like to throw insults at ADN programs have never set foot into an ADN

    Useless Hospital Committees

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    Yyyyyyyyyep. CPOE has brought about doctors who lazily add an order set and every single thing in that order set, like daily weights, TEDS and SCD's for every patient, etc.

    Consults??

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to fiveoclocksomewhere's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I am a consult is an order, so they are on the kardex and on my list of CPOE orders. Reviewing those might help. I seriously would be like "What can I help you with?" I mean, come do your job...

    Alert and oriented man in LTC abusive to staff

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to frankie2286's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hadn't seen one, or even mittens for that matter, until I worked at my 2nd hospital. They are wonderful for patient safety

    leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That doesn't really answer my question. Consideration and professional respect does not = being friends or hanging

    I doubt they would still make and sell them then? Or that I still use them at least once a month on my med-surg floor!! The Posey Bed All Care Model - Posey

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

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

    I wonder if that might have anything to do with ADN nurses spending more time at the bedside instead of sitting behind a desk? The risks of sitting behind a desk are rather

    Exactly! My boss got hit one day when I wasn't there and the next day she tells me, "He's in a veil bed and will stay in a veil bed until he is discharged." Because he hit you now he's in indefinite...

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

    I think anyone with minimal education would know that spelling is covered in one's elementary education; after that, the damage is done and improvement of those skills doesn't happen very easily, so...

    Anyone here who hate the holidays?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Glad you get holiday pay. I get no holiday pay (unless they decide at the last minute that everyone will get TWO EXTRA DOLLARS AN HOUR WOOOOOOO!) and prior to going PRN had no choice on working the...

    Speaking of... Getting to work early

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to jrsmrs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Breaks? What are breaks? That's where you're winning on this deal! I get there about 15 min early just because I want to be on time in the event of traffic etc. But when I'm in charge I hate when...

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

    Me either. I never took an account of the people on here who complain about not being seen as a professional to see if they were ADN or BSN. You? I'm not sure that this person knows the difference...

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

    Uh, because no one said that? The woman said exactly what she meant, which was that she'd rather have a nurse that knew what they were doing. She never at any time specified which degree the person...

    I had that with Father's Day this year. I always look for two cards. Got the first and was looking for the second when I realized, no FIL this year. Sad. My condolences to

    Useless Hospital Committees

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to guest64485's topic in General Nursing

    If I could like this a hundred times I would. I'm serving on one now that is about "responsiveness" in the HCAHPS scores. I feel like the attitude is that "if we have a committee, that shows we're...

    The Battle of Day vs. Night Shift

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think everyone should have to work every shift right after orientation for a period of time, then they would be allowed to judge. I've spent a year on nights and a year on days and get sick of...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do get all that, and employers wouldn't think twice about terminating any of us, even on Christmas Eve. However, I kind of feel like walking out is disrespectful to your coworkers. I have had it...
