  1. Immigrant Nurses

    againmlg replied to englishhyacinth's topic in General Nursing

    That's not what OP said. And it is interesting that NEWBIE nurses take so much offense to what we older ones have fought so hard to maintain. Seasoned nurses who lived through the mass importation...

    againmlg replied to englishhyacinth's topic in General Nursing

    hmmmm like another poster said i too haven't seen a slew of people claiming immigration is the "root" cause of the rn problem. i call bullhockey on your 'root cause' inflammatory claim. no one...

  3. Nursing Conspiracies - Do I Need a Tinfoil Nurse's Cap?

    againmlg replied to KeepClimbing's topic in General Nursing

    ^This! But as someone else said I'm not a student, only an RN who lives with the realities (not conspiracies) of our profession. Also like many here I DO take responsibility for any career choice...

  4. BSN but want to take LPN/LVN exam. HELP!

    againmlg replied to quebby224's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Something is fishy about your question and the very odd statement that you "passed' the NCLEX RN application. No one here has treated you unprofessionally as you claim. You say you graduated from...

  5. Frustrated, need to vent and need advice...please!

    againmlg replied to danihunter37's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Very bad idea. I'm not even sure if TOS allows us to give advise on BON issues. That's how it used to be here on allnurses. Good luck op. With persistence you'll find a nursing

  6. What is the silliest thing you've heard a nurse say?

    againmlg replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the group who say both orders in your examples were VERY poorly written. The nurse was smart to question the orders. You're not smart to laugh and post about someone's

  7. It's Time for Universal Licensing In all 50 States

    againmlg replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't matter that you don't care about doctor's and dentists needing licenses in each state. I was using it as an example of HOW professionals are licensed. I guess you're a new nurse and never...

  8. It's Time for Universal Licensing In all 50 States

    againmlg replied to newgradRN001's topic in General Nursing

    Do you expect each state you wish to work in to regulate and govern your practice for free. Nothing in life is free. It costs the state money to discipline and regulate nurses. Physicians, Dentists...

  9. NCSBN commercial

    againmlg replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Well said. This ad is sad and could prompt unnecessary

  10. NCSBN commercial

    againmlg replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    This ad is so wrong. I know a good male ED RN with 16 yrs experience who had a spotless record. He had a bogus BON complaint filed against him by a drunk combative patient. (Long story short, this...

  11. Sleeping on the job

    againmlg replied to mairose15's topic in General Nursing

    Think of the diabetic patient without any access to his meds while the nurse is sleeping or staring at the wall. - Then report her. Call you BON to see if you have to give your name to report

  12. Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    againmlg replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agree.

  13. willing to relocate, please recommend a place for nursing jobs

    againmlg replied to NewMac's topic in General Nursing

    Usually you need a social security number to work in the US. As for foreign nurse sponsorship you'll get more specific information on the Philippine forum of this site. Tons of nurses there are...

  14. Just how bad is the job market for experienced Nurses?

    againmlg replied to Noahm's topic in General Nursing

    Best to have a job before moving. Also you must check with the BON and hospitals as to any requirements you (possibly) might have to meet before working in an acute setting in the US. It's easy to...

  15. Has anyone received their license after submitting declaratory for bipolar?

    againmlg replied to kmdjkennedy's topic in General Nursing

    No it ISN'T right. PA, CO and OH boards of nursing should be ashamed of themselves. Op should just jump some "extra hoops" you say? I sincerely doubt it will be that easy. Colorado's board should...

  16. Watsons theory of human caring

    againmlg replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I've known many highly skilled EXTREMELY competent nurses who DO NOT buy into the "Caring Theory of Nursing" as proposed by

  17. Should an RN accept CNA/PCT job for now

    againmlg replied to meikauw's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who got her license last December and is doing CNA work while looking for an RN position. After graduation she spent 6 months applying for jobs but after living without a paycheck and...

  18. Have noticed racist threads right here in the past two days!

    againmlg replied to lpn2icu's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been on 2 nursing sites since 1999. (Had to change my log on here once because I forgot it and had a new ISP and email.) I think the term racist will get this thread deleted soon so I see no...

  19. Fess Up! How much HSP stuff is in your drawer???

    againmlg replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    You know it's for this reason I always empty my pockets before clocking out. I worked with a new RN who went through a similar ordeal for making a dumb but -I think- honest mistake. Sad that they...

  20. Leave Good Job for Nursing?

    againmlg replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously people need to make their own decisions and weigh all the options when it comes to changing careers. Personally I think if you're older it's smart to look at debt incurred while in school vs...

  21. What are some psychological effects of being a nurse?

    againmlg replied to smiles9960's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of trust, empathy, and being in tune with how others were feeling was always my forte. After my very first RN job in a nursing home I realized I was going to have to become tough, somewhat...

  22. Knowledge re: suicide and how we can help

    againmlg replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    (((hugs)))That is so sad. I agree about 20/20 hindsight. At my last hospital a similar situation happened with a nurse. I didn't know her because she worked a different unit. It makes me very sad...

  23. What is your opinon of the nursing shortage?

    againmlg replied to SierraN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that nursing instructors need a big pay increase to encourage more to go into teaching. And we should do a lot more to retain experienced nurses. The floor I work on in 80% RN's with less...

  24. are nurses more depressed than the general public?

    againmlg replied to hnurseh's topic in General Nursing

    cn2007rn, I related to much of what you posted. I'm glad them Paxil is helping. What depresses me is what others said, In nursing you can't have a slightly off day. You are always expected to be...

  25. Education required?

    againmlg replied to Starfish08's topic in Psychiatric

    For counseling I've always heard that a masters is the baseline of education. Generally after obtaining the masters and then 3000 hrs of work in the field you can take a certification exam. For...
