  1. Some of the things Doctors do and say really tick me off!

    BETSRN replied to Peaches N L&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just leave the incident on file and do not discuss it with him. If he brings it up, simply tell him that you have filed the incident with your nurse manager. Refer him to her. Leave it at

  2. My mom does not want me to become a nurse

    BETSRN replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    I would LOVE it if my son would consider nursing. It is a wide open field, especially for men at an advanced level. A male NP could write his own ticket in so many areas or nursing! I feel sorry that...

  3. what the heck is a P.A. ???

    BETSRN replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nurse Practitioners and Physician's Assistants are both master's prepared professions. One can advance much farther as a NP and can work independently WITHOUT the coverage of an

  4. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    BETSRN replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sadly, there are managers out there who were never real nurses (in the sense of bedside nursing). I can't say I have much respect for that type of

  5. My mom does not want me to become a nurse

    BETSRN replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Just remember, nurses who try and discourage you from entering nursing are the ones with the problems. Don't let someone else's problems become yours as well. If yor heart is in nursing, there are...

    BETSRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. Solution to ADN vs BSN--Revamp Nursing Education?

    BETSRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to see any BSN progam be 5 years because I do not think these programs give their students enought hands on experience. They put their students at a decided disadvantage. I know a hospial...

    BETSRN replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

  9. Should BSNs be paid more?

    BETSRN replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it was the nurse working with this clinical nurse intern who told me this story. I only introduced myself, told her "welcome" and she scowled at me. I just went the other way and on to my...

  10. Where should I go?????

    BETSRN replied to ocb_dave_ocb's topic in General Nursing

    In geneal pay in the south is very poor in comparison to the Northeast. It depends on what is important to

  11. OOHHHH The Arrogance of Some Doctors!!!

    BETSRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Get it on paper (ASAP before you forget the details) and then let it go!! Rise above it. You needn't speak with him about it at all. If he ever brings it up, just tell him you have writen the incident...

  12. Should BSNs be paid more?

    BETSRN replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF they ahve even had the experience of working with IV tubing while in school! Pardon my rant, but it just bugs me so to see some of these nursing students who have so little...

  13. Living in CT on a LPN Salary

    BETSRN replied to sweetgeorgianurse75's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    The cost of living is high, but the pay is also higher. The weather is far worse in CT. You are used to the south. I am planning to move back south in the next few years and the climate is why I would...

  14. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    BETSRN replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When on occasion, we have someone do that, we confront them directly and tell them they cannot use the kitchen. We have been known to get security to come up if it gets to be too bad. Remember, you...

  15. It's a Hospital, Not a Hotel (Gripe)

    BETSRN replied to daisybaby's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am always gracious and try to accomodate reasonable patient/family requests, but my name tag yesterday must have read 'Handmaid' instead of RN. I was instructed (not asked) by several different...

    BETSRN replied to Peaches N L&D's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I responded to this on another

  17. OOHHHH The Arrogance of Some Doctors!!!

    BETSRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You were advocating for the baby, which is our job. I think I would not have even answered the guy back the first time. I would write up the entire incident just as it happened (without emotion) and...

  18. Should BSNs be paid more?

    BETSRN replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    If you look at that, all but one of those "additional educations" have nothing at all to do with the type of nursing program one attends. None of those skills has anything to do with the actual BSN....

  19. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    BETSRN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your BSN certainly will NOT be a waste of time. However, if you are sitting back, resting on your laurels, figuring you will be a better (more competant) nurse because you have a BSN (and all this...

  20. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    BETSRN replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  21. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    BETSRN replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    you are allowing people to take advantage of you. why do you do that? sounds to me as if this is an issue you need to

  22. NP vs PA...

    BETSRN replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Post Graduate Students

    One of my nursing professors once mentioned a good point about PA's. It's a "dead end" profession in that you have to always work under a doctor and the scope of practice is pretty limited. PA's can...

  23. The OP baby..a question

    BETSRN replied to gitanarose's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, I wasn't clear on that, was I? No, I have never rotated a baby's head, but I would put downward pressure on a head and certainly support the head it if was crowning and I didn't have a...

    Gainesville is wonderful! Shands would give you great experience, but it is very

  25. The OP baby..a question

    BETSRN replied to gitanarose's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not being able to be autonomous (and do exams, labor management,etc.,) is exactly why I do NOT work at a big teaching hospital with interns and residents. We probably do a LOT of things that are not...
