    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I am for real. I don't think I've stuttered or blinked once............so, where does the confusion come from? Provision 1: I think being all for a better/safter/more trustworthy healthcare team...

    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    No. Screw science interpreted in a way that protects doped up nurses instead of the pt. Again.........its about protecting patients, not saving nurses. One could argue that the theory that addiction...

    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, but a patient who has addiction problems is completely different than a nurse with the same............for me anyway. As a nurse, I am obligated to give unbiased care. I am not though obligated...

    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the posters in here are starting to remind me of a woman who created a thread a long time ago. She was...........of course..........an impaired nurse who was allowed to return to work and had...

    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    So why not just end the debate and make it a one strike and you are out policy. Its not as if that approach is inhumane or immoral. Many things one can do that will get you fired and never...

    Switching Careers After only 1 yr

    eriksoln replied to AXIDRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, not married and no kids, but I definitely feel like nursing takes a lot out of me at times. I'm working on that. One thing you said stuck out to me though. You said "I've worked six out of the...

    Black Belt Nurses

    eriksoln replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I studied classic TKD before becoming a nurse. It actually played a role in my becoming a nurse. I've considered going back to some form of martial arts but, eh............we'll have to see. It can...

    Nurses who steal narcotics....

    eriksoln replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Well, nobody "chooses" to be an addict, but that doesn't excuse the drug diversion. "I didn't choose to be an addict" is like the reckless driver climbing out of their car and saying "Well, I didn't...

    Amusement Park nursing?

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. I hear at the park near me there are basically two full timers every year (same one's) and then they need help filling in the gaps for when one of them needs a day off. One only wants to do...

    eriksoln replied to GentlemanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I want to become Male nurse but am under qualified

    eriksoln replied to GentlemanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe its a state based thing. I know in PA, "D" or better means.............you are stuck with that grade. I was considering taking writing classes and realized I had a horrible grade in some lower...

    Amusement Park nursing?

    eriksoln replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    See, different strokes for different folks. I don't think cruise ship nursing would be fun at all. I guess if the entire boat were vet. cruise vacationers, it'd be fine. But I bet you get a lot of...

    I want to become Male nurse but am under qualified

    eriksoln replied to GentlemanNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to point out, if you have a passing grade already in one course, you can not simply "retake" it without special permission. If they know you are doing so simply to "boost the GPA", they will...

    RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    eriksoln replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The license is a blessing and a curse though. True, very true, a lot of CNAs talk about teamwork but don't understand that it implies a 2 way street...................and there are just so many tasks...
