  1. Fictional vital sign charting

    Wishinonastar replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. This is disturbing. I will say that in my state the CNA program is pretty intense, and if they get hired in a hospital they usually get a lot more training. I am qualified to teach the program-...

  2. Staff Nurse with a MS Nursing degree?

    Wishinonastar replied to NICU<3RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey SOMEBODY has to update the things. You know they are outdated as quick as they come out. Future classes of nursing school students are depending on

  3. I just turned down an interview

    Wishinonastar replied to Wishinonastar's topic in School

    I went through the initial phone interview and frankly, I know the local area well enough to know that I am exactly the person for the job. I have school nurse experience (adult and high school...

  4. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    That is of course unless the horse's name is Mr.

  5. Fictional vital sign charting

    Wishinonastar replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    "One set of vitals- who is to know? He looks ok- obviously they are normal. I will just write the same as last time and no one will know. Just this once..." That is how it starts, any bad habit. Just...

  6. Fictional vital sign charting

    Wishinonastar replied to Rabid Response's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Toledo Batman! But seriously- time for a confrontation. This may be a lazy person who needs to know that this little "mistake" has been discovered. The chart needs corrected and the person who...

  7. Staff Nurse with a MS Nursing degree?

    Wishinonastar replied to NICU<3RN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a MSN CRNP in home care for a while. She had no desire to move up and truly enjoyed the work which is very independent anyway. There are also a lot of MSNs working in school nursing...

  8. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Oh I did not say YOU were a hater GM2RN. Did I imply that somehow? I meant that there are some haters who I cannot help and I was giving up trying. If they want to draw their swords so be it. If you...

  9. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I know. I should not stick up for others. That is the advocate in me. You are right of course. I can't help the attitudes of the masses. Everyone will always think that their program was the best. It...

  10. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    The feeling that I get is a desperate sense of self-defense from the ADNs. ADNs have been persecuted since the degree first took off. Initially the majority were diploma nurses who did not get a...

  11. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I really don't get the sense from their posts that I get from some of the BSN posts touting about how much better their education is. I am embarrassed by this kind of put down. It makes me feel that...

  12. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I think that it is appalling that some of the people who have BSNs are so full of their own self-righteousness that they feel they are superior. That is what gives BSNs a bad name. Unless you have...

  13. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Ditto. Turned away. Some reapply, some give up and try the other schools. I never knew anyone personally that

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Yes, this is what I mean. You don't just sign up. You compete for a

  15. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    "How do you mean that CC in your area is "competitive?" GM2RN Well there are usually about 500 applicants and they take about 100. So I would say that just getting in is

  16. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Well the descriptive title says it all- "Community College? You must be stupid." What we are supposed to be discussing is the quality of a Community College. I just think going into the ADN/BSN...

  17. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    We are talking about the quality of CC education though, not the ADN/BSN debate. Most CC nursing programs are NLN accredited- very rigorous. They do this so that the credits will transfer and their...

  18. Cover Letter Advice Please

    Wishinonastar replied to NurseAndLovinIt's topic in Maryland Nursing

    A recent Reader's Digest article said the HR managers polled admit that they NEVER read cover letters. I was taught to use 3 paragraphs- what you are applying for in the first, what special things you...

  19. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Wishinonastar replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I have been to both- about the same. Some teachers teach at both. One course that I had at both - statistics - was easier at the CC but it was for 3 credits instead of 4 as it was at the U. That...

  21. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    Wishinonastar replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Stalkers, jokes, conflict, drama. This thread has it all. I laughed, I cried. I was moved in so many ways. Whoever knew that our NANDA could be so exciting? Two thumbs way up from another Pirates...

  22. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    Wishinonastar replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Do it, let it go. Some of the posts I just read the first and last sentence. They take too much RAM from my mind to try and figure out what the poster is trying to say other than "I like Nursing...

  24. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    Wishinonastar replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they are still working towards electronic records, but they are fighting through HIPAA and it will not reduce our required documentation- it will only allow everyone to share the record. The...

  25. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    Wishinonastar replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    The medical diagnosis leads to the nursing diagnosis which leads to the care plan. The nursing process is great, the nursing care plans are great- for students who are LEARNING to be nurses. I agree...
