THAT Nurse. MSN, RN, APRN

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 problems with the students (1 characterized every ...

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

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 felt?

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 day notice thing being given to patients before y...

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 online programs. I once precepted a South University ...

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 never hammered a grade because of differing belie...

Found this today, good example of what I wrote yesterday. Good luck to the LPN doing this. https://www.chattanoogan.com/2020/6/13/410499/Some-Erlanger-Nurses-Considering.aspx

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 the ground you should get some protection, and publi...

For those wanting details... Senate amendments hurt it some, but still a huge step up for us. https://www.flanp.org/page/IndependentPractice

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. https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/health/healthprofboards/nursi...

So, anyone here from that area?

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 worthless HR rep was not warranted. The emotional abuse I...

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 at the moment have an eye on Regis. Has anyone use...

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 those bigots. A pity I have no way of proving it, ...

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, when do you actually assume liability for a patient?...

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 TNA. I was somewhere between utterly dismayed and abs...

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 the majority of us have working brains. If we enc...

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 be able to sue those who file frivolous charges aga...

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 working, I have to do my job plus theirs.

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 came. Who would you recommend for insurance? What i...

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 extended period begins to make it a little difficult ...

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 easier!)

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 to get it, I gladly encouraged everyone to refuse...

Thank you all.

I routinely find v/s not done, patients ignored, and my clear instructions abandoned by a certain CNA. I can generally assume I am on my own when she works.
