  1. Being an individual

    roser13 replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    LOL! I will stay tuned to see what your priority concerns are after (hopefully)

  2. Thinking about quitting nursing school

    roser13 replied to LucyJan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious - at age 17, what type of nursing school are you attending? Specifically, how are you already in clinicals at the age of 17? This sounds like an awful lot of pressure for your

  3. Not getting charge nurse position

    roser13 replied to frisky's topic in Nurse Management

    I agree. No offense intended whatsoever, OP, and I have no doubt you're a valued employee. But this situation just screams of some type of ulterior motive on management's

  4. The HARD Truth for most nurses

    roser13 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    "Medical labor is all we do, but we are also not in debt like docs :)" I don't know what medical labor is but I'm fairly certain I've never done

  5. Auditting nursing facilities

    roser13 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Nursing

    Pay very close attention to the the "contractor" part. If you are not an employee and are a contractor. you will be responsible for paying your own FICA, state & federal taxes. That is not...

  6. CNA Boards

    roser13 replied to uhleash's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is such a thing as CNA boards? I believe it is a certification that you receive once you take the

  7. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    roser13 replied to 3**835Y's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Call me cynical, but I do not believe that your statement is

  8. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    roser13 replied to 3**835Y's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes. In the US, that is a standard requirement. Not sure that a Nurse Practitioner of any type could achieve that status without having proven vaccination status along the way. Nursing schools and...

  9. FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    roser13 replied to 3**835Y's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Agreed. If you work in healthcare, you are expected to participate in accepted preventive health

  10. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    roser13 replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How about when hospitals are forced to cut their charges because their main expense (nursing salaries/benefits) is no longer under their control and no longer a part of their balance sheets? I have...

  11. When did nursing become the answer to the bottom line?

    roser13 replied to marick_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I have expounded ad nauseum in another thread, it is because we are non-chargeable expenses. Nurses, soap, housekeeping, electrical supply, we are one. Why not add duties/responsibilities onto...

  12. Hi everyone i need your help.

    roser13 replied to luv17's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My help? Relax, wait and consider yourself lucky that you didn't sit for for a 2-day exam and then wait for 8 weeks for the result. In comparison, your wait is

  13. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    roser13 replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But seriously, how else would they (PT, OT, Lab, et al )be paid appropriately? Nursing is the ONLY discipline that does not charge for services rendered. And that is why we can be short-staffed,...

  14. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    roser13 replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I cannot even imagine how billing for services rendered at the bedside could be viewed as sleazy. In fact, that very statement seems offensive. BrandonLPN, I've always been a fan of your posts, so I...

  15. Nurses as Costs for Hospitals

    roser13 replied to advor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Charge the patient (insurance company) for nursing services. As it stands, professional nursing care is lumped in with housekeeping services, laundry services, meals and plastic bathing

  16. Encouragement

    roser13 replied to kinieleighlon's topic in General Nursing

    Before you dig in to study, I believe that you should call your state's BON. They will have requirements for someone who has been out of school as long as you have. At a bare minimum, I believe a...

  17. lossing hope :(

    roser13 replied to riynlyngale's topic in General Nursing

    Did you see your answers here?

  18. Could an RN answer these 4 questions I need for a class paper?

    roser13 replied to ambernicole0202's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I won't do your homework for you, but I'll give you a piece of advice: ask the moderators to remove your email

  19. Lvn new grad take home health job or keep applying

    roser13 replied to StevenLvn's topic in General Nursing

    Vent-dependent patients require adequate training. It's not so much about your license as it is about patient safety. Translated: it's not about you. It's about the patient. Your post scares the...

  20. Pain relief without fostering addiction

    roser13 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't over-think it. I advise my patients to take their pain meds as prescribed, while paying attention to keeping ahead of the post-op pain, rather than chasing the pain. My influence is brief as...

  21. New RN and unemployed

    roser13 replied to Mythico's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the nursing shortage myth is as common as the "nurses eat their young" myth. Please unsubscribe your brain from both thought processes. The most successful new grads are open to all jobs in all...

  22. ST_elevation In MI

    roser13 replied to Ala'aa Omar's topic in General Nursing

    I see you just joined AN.com! Welcome! Below is a link explaining how most of us here (above poster excluded) feel about feeding information to nursing students. As you will read, most of us also...

  23. Nurse retention

    roser13 replied to mombuxx's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I really enjoy my job, my management and my salary, I sometimes get itchy for a change. The grass may be greener, etc. Then I sit back and take stock: in the 10+ years that I have been...

  24. What happens if you resign while suspended?

    roser13 replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Since we are now dealing in what friends and relatives say about this issue, I will contribute this from a job search website: "Currently, there is no law that states that employers are only allowed...

  25. Are Nurses First Responders?

    roser13 replied to ScrubADub12's topic in General Nursing
