  1. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    THAT Nurse. replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Its dragging us off topic, but that article is very subjective, far from proof of grounding being effective. It was at least generally well written, though if you didn't read it closely you missed...

  2. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

    THAT Nurse. replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am one of them, though it is for a different reason. After precepting a few, I had absolutely no desire to be affiliated, in any way, with those institutions. This is nonexhaustive; among the...

  3. South Florida Covid testing jobs for RN

    THAT Nurse. replied to Tee F's topic in Florida Nursing

    Might also want to check with agencies. My facility didn't hire a single nurse, but we contracted a bunch of

  4. Can't get covid at work

    THAT Nurse. replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I only want to know one thing. When you were told this; how did you stop the hysterical laughter at such lunacy you must have

  5. Manager threatening patient abandonment

    THAT Nurse. replied to joonkilee's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It sounds like you work for a group, and not your own clinic. As such, a lot of the concerns/obligations that would follow if you were running your own sole practice do not apply, such as the whole 30...

  6. Importance of NP Program Reputation, Name Recognition

    THAT Nurse. replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In my experience going to either a well known/reputable school or even going to a standard state school (think University of Neverheardofitbefore) are viewed significantly more positively than the...

  7. My Experience as an Non-political White Male in Nursing / NP School

    THAT Nurse. replied to guest1149052's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So, lets be straight, you ARE a political person. Which is fine, welcome to my club (even if we appear to be opposites). What is sad; is I largely had the same experience though my nursing instructors...

  8. Nursing Nightmare in Covid Unit

    THAT Nurse. replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Found this today, good example of what I wrote yesterday. Good luck to the LPN doing this.

  9. Nursing Nightmare in Covid Unit

    THAT Nurse. replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I am not a lawyer, so you'd have to consult one. This however seems promising: https://www.workplacefairness.org/unions-retaliation#1 IOW, start forming one very publicly. Even if it never gets off...

  10. FPA in Florida passed today!

    THAT Nurse. replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    For those wanting details... Senate amendments hurt it some, but still a huge step up for us.

  11. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    THAT Nurse. replied to kardz30's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Its been said in a few other posts, know your state practice acts, and I would add know BON Position statements if your state has them. Having started my career in TN, I will use theirs....

  12. Chattanooga area

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    So, anyone here from that

  13. are we human .. really ??

    THAT Nurse. replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you made the genuine mistake, accept it, learn, and move on. I do admit, based on my experience (where I most certainly did NOT deserve it) being made to feel little by our lying and quite...

  14. Advancing an education/career

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in General Nursing

    After nearly a year of floor nursing, I know I want a change. I am leaning heavily on an MSN, with a focus towards management. Currently, I have a BSN. I have been looking around online schools, and...

  15. Female nurses have more advantage over male nurses?

    THAT Nurse. replied to u2me's topic in Men in Nursing

    I see a slight bias against. On the first floor I worked after graduation, I was flat told by an HR employee I was being held to a different standard. (I resigned the next day as well. I still loathe...

  16. When do you actually become resposible for the pt?

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have seen some people talk about seeing the patient board, and the rooms assigned, and simply walking out, or refusing to clock in until the staffing issues were fixed. From a legal perspective,...

  17. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    THAT Nurse. replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nursing will continue like this until we actually join an organization, and that organization is run effectively. In Tennessee, we have a rather poor nursing organization (mentioned earlier), the...

  18. I can't let you do that- it's against policy!

    THAT Nurse. replied to RhiaRN75's topic in Nursing Humor

    I try not to laugh at the idea of following rules when I think they ought not be followed. Maybe it is more than a touch of arrogance, (thankfully I don't care). Nurses are educated professionals, and...

  19. Nurses' Rights

    THAT Nurse. replied to wishingmary2's topic in General Nursing

    Katie, Lawyers ARE what happened to tort reform. After all, even if they lose, the RN who has to defend against frivolous charges pays the defending lawyer. Money all around. Another fix: We should...

  20. Lazy coworker

    THAT Nurse. replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have two CNAs who do anything from disappear, to do nothing even when you tell them what to do. Management won't do anything because of fear of the race/sex discrimination card. When they are...

  21. Insurance

    THAT Nurse. posted a topic in General Nursing

    Simply put, as a relatively new grad RN I think it might be worth having. I looked into one, the ones that advertise a lot in AJN, and they said they would send me a packet in the mail, but it never...

  22. Nurse Fired For Refusing To Get a H1N1 Vaccine or Wear Mask

    THAT Nurse. replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wearing a mask is not a reasonable request. I personally am in that Texas nurses position, I refused the shot, and I am not exactly compliant wrt the mask. It is uncomfortable, but worse, after an...

  23. Saying No

    THAT Nurse. replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I personally like the OT, and prefer to say yes. However, when I have plans set with my lil lady, they hear a no, and that is that. (Of course, I sometimes don't even answer the phone, even

  24. H1N1 vaccine, yes or no?

    THAT Nurse. replied to artistnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My hospital made is mandatory, get the shot or get punished. I was actually very neutral, if you wanted the shot go for it, if not, your health decisions, your call. When they came out saying you HAD...
