  1. New York Times: Robots can replace nurses!

    BETSRN replied to lapappey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Know what else I thought of? If robots replace the scrubs, who will the flaming nasty surgeons have to yell at? Maybe they will rethink the increase in

  3. What do you think is a major problem in nursing?

    BETSRN replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am NOT sure that CNA's or medical assistants ARE legally liable. They are unlicenswed assistive pesonnel. When do you see CNA's geting hauled into

    BETSRN replied to sweetyjen's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I second your statement. We have similar managers. It is such a shame that there are any managers like

  5. The Know-It-All nurse

    I wouldn't be a manager either. It's too bad that the pre-requisite for ANY management position should be several years at the

  7. Discouraged new RN

    BETSRN replied to Southern Belle RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I think if I were you, I would attempt to start from square 1 all over again. Your job hopping would be a red flag for any employer, whether or not it is your "fault". 3 jobs in one year spells...

  9. RN's scrubbing in on c/s???

    BETSRN replied to LD123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    WE went through this. Our techs are our regular aids that were trained (200 hour course). Thank God for them. We RN's just circulate. I guess in an emergency, we do have to open up and start until a...

    I love what I do and that's my motivation. Teaching my patients and seeing their successes helps

  12. Bi-Polar in Nursing School

    BETSRN replied to ijpetit's topic in Nursing Career

    You're going to need your memory as much in nursing school as now. Maybe you should work on getting the meds adjusted correctly so that you will feel good and be able to sunction properly no matter...

  13. NON-Patient Care Employment for new R.N.s

    BETSRN replied to California-O.T.'s topic in Nursing Career

    The LAST person who should consider a travel position is someone with no previous clinical experience. That would be the kiss of death not only for the nurse but for her

  14. Fastest route to become an RN?

    BETSRN replied to Homemaker's topic in Nursing Career

    As far as ADN/BSN, it just depends on what you want to do with your career. In my opinion, it takes a good year for any nurse to feel comfortable with clinical skills and the ADN comes to graduation...

  15. How about this for an order?

    BETSRN replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    We don't lie in Lamaze class. We give you options that's all. What works for one does not work for the next person. Actually all paced breathing is is mind over matter and that truly is all some...

  16. Need salary/benefits/union information UPSTATE NY School Nurses

    BETSRN replied to sls4083's topic in School

    How about going to the New York board and also the School Nurse specialty board? I think that those two might be able to supply you with the most accurate of information. Good

  17. The Know-It-All nurse

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Heck, you guys, even the two most senior top nurses on my unit (over 35 years experience) will collaborate with the rest of us on what we think about certain issues (questionable strips,etc.,). That's...

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are right Karen, but the nurse I was thnking about when I first initiated this thread is NOt the one I mentioned above. I think she came after you

  19. The Know-It-All nurse

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is a scary sounding nurse. I suppose her you-know-what is on the line when she has to place someone. Maybe she went from the frying pan into the fire???? Judging from some of our D/C planners,...

  20. The Know-It-All nurse

    BETSRN replied to BETSRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so sorry to hear that has happened to you. Our CNA's (actually OB techs) are invaluable and I would never dismiss what they tell me. You are also a professional and your observations are valid....

  21. FNP's in womens health/ CNM's! PLEEASE READ!

    BETSRN replied to joyrochelle's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A CNM and a FNP are TWO specifically different areas of expertise. If you want to deliver babies then you ahve to be a CNM. As a FNP you cannot do that. If you want to combine both, then you better go...

  22. Rn Failure!

    BETSRN replied to Madrn2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Just remember, clinical instructors are not always the nicest or happiest of people, either. I think most programs have at least one of those people. Keep on

  23. Rn Failure!

    BETSRN replied to Madrn2b's topic in Nursing Career

    That is so important. Too bad so many experienced nurses cannot think outside the box. I think some of that is due to laziness and the victim
