    eriksoln replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First, let me put the almighty disclaimer here: I don't do L&D, background is M/S, and I am a male (might look at L&D differently, IDK). OK. With that said, I witnessed a student with the...

    I actually plan on going into Nursing Informatics. Which, I hate to admit, fits my description of an administrator position filled by someone with a nursing background. I do hope I don't turn into...

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, the essence of the thread is that we need to eliminate the attitude that bedside nursing is "remedial" or for the feeble minded types. Its goes on further to state, step one in...

    Eh. Makes sense. Guess if someone is great at their nursing and prioritizes well, doesn't miss important assessment details and notes reactions to tx quickly (or lack of)...........and care plans...

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, the emphasis is on business, not pt. care. And anyone who doesn't join in on the song and dance and play dumb about the whole thing somehow is "remedial" or doesn't get the whole picture....

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    My point exactly. The thread's complaint is that...........bedside nursing's value and place in the medical model is improperly displayed to decision makers and the general public. My hypothesis...

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    eriksoln replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, like other people have said about how the ER attracts (for the most part) a certain personality, I think the same goes for M/S. And the personality type it attracts isn't me. I've known for...

    Another nurse (who has not shown up here yet, to my surprise) and I were debating if there was any real/practical difference between BSN/MSN and ADN. I still have my doubts, but will be moving...

    Ah. But what you are doing is not "nursing" when you are behind the desk. People appreciate the value of good business and administration, but we have failed in proving to the community that bedside...
