  1. RN to BSN: Looking for an online RN program quick

    cherrybreeze replied to Stargazedaisy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't have the spare time to research schools unless it's for myself, and since I already have an ADN, I wouldn't be looking for the same thing you

  2. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cherrybreeze replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it hasn't become "some new fancy elevated position," but yes, it HAS become a title bearing legal protection, since it does require licensure to be one. Maybe way back in the day, "anyone...

  3. To call or not to call....

    cherrybreeze replied to aellisrn's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, I would wait it out and let them call you. You've called, you've made your interest known. To me, it would seem too desperate to continue to call, especially to ask, "would you like...

  4. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    cherrybreeze replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    I know a gal I could introduce you to, and then you'd believe

  5. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    cherrybreeze replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    :hug:

  6. Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    cherrybreeze replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with a nurse choosing to wear white caps/dresses, if that's what they want to do. It's a symbol of nursing. Just because YOU find it impractical, doesn't mean they do....

  7. How hard is it really, to hire new nurses?

    cherrybreeze replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    The reason we are always given when a vacated position is not filled is "we have to improve productivity" (meaning, the current productivity numbers do not support hiring another staff member)....

  8. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cherrybreeze replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    thank you for this link, i found this out about my state (which i did not know): wisconsin chapter 441. subchapter i regulation of nursing. 441.001 definitions (2) nurse. except as provided under s....

  9. Blaming the nurse

    cherrybreeze replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Love this aspect of my job (not really). We had the cable go out one night (and during an NFL game, no less, and you don't mess with that in my hometown!). EVERY SINGLE CALL LIGHT went off at the...

  10. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cherrybreeze replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone with a doctorate degree IS a doctor. Everyone with a doctorate degree is NOT a

  11. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cherrybreeze replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    i know what you are saying, but i don't think that's how the statement was intended. i couldn't function without the cna's i work with, but no, they are not nurses, and it's advertising falsely for...

  12. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    cherrybreeze replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    Is it right or wrong to assume that the "ma" in your username stands for Medical Assistant? If so, that explains your answer. People might assume that everyone in scrubs is a nurse (our housekeepers...

  13. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just about everyone on this site knows by now that that isn't what I look for. What I am not looking for is a "discussion" where someone twists everything I post in order to fit their

  14. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is tiring now. All you want to do is argue, and I've already indulged it farther than I want to. I'm done

  15. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Treatment plans change. If an MD d/c's order for blood transfusion and orders epo instead, this is the new treatment plan. If MD d/c's fluid restriction, this is the new treatment plan. There comes...

  16. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No one ever said they would, either! Where do you get that assertion? What I know I've said the whole time is that I will follow the ORDERED FLUID RESTRICTION. D/c'ing the order doesn't make it...

  17. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with this. My responses fell in to the first example. Yes, if someone is NPO for a procedure and then decides they do not want to go through with the procedure, the NPO becomes...

  18. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't miss any posts, I read the entire thread. I repeated points already made since you don't seem to have heard any of it, to be honest. I never once even remotely implied that making poor...

  19. Incompetent

    cherrybreeze replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is TOTALLY different when it's family (and I believe it SHOULD be!). I work in med surg, and have done so for years. I take care of lap choles darn near every shift I work, but when it was my mom...

  20. Contact Isolation: Do YOU always gown up?

    cherrybreeze replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work at least, family members visiting a patient on iso are not required to gown up. The reason for doing so is to prevent transmission to other patients, and family members aren't going in...

  21. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Aw, thank you.

  22. Fluid restrictions vs Patient rights

    cherrybreeze replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hamster, obviously you have no interest in even hearing another side to your argument. I don't even know where to start to respond to the several things you have said that I believe are misguided (or...

  23. Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I despise that phrase, the "taking care of bigger babies" thing. I know that in SOME cases, it's used to try to take the "eek" factor out of caring for incontinent adults (which can be intimidating...

  24. Let's hear how awesome nursing is!

    cherrybreeze replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of a patient a couple weeks ago that was admitted after a MCA. She was in a lot of pain due to her injuries, and anxious. Her hair was a tangled mess of knots from riding on the bike,...

  25. Contact Isolation: Do YOU always gown up?

    cherrybreeze replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious about this. Our door signs re: contact precautions say to gown up upon entering room, period. I admit that I do not if I am bringing in a snack, or something equally simple and not...
