  1. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    roser13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol! Read that to say "an NP program that accepts RN's and other BS'ers." Gotta slow down and stop

  3. Question for medical assistants

    roser13 replied to helpinghands93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Not at all. Just factual and helpful. If you went into a grocery store trying to buy a horse, I'd be the first one to tell you that you're looking in the wrong place. Same here. You'll get many more...

  4. Question for medical assistants

    roser13 replied to helpinghands93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is a forum for nurses. MA's have nothing to do with nursing. Why not ask your question on a medical assistant

    roser13 replied to bassadict69's topic in General Nursing

    I believe staffing is usually determined by P&P's. Have you looked in yours to see what staffing should look

  6. When did you find your calling?

    roser13 replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter called me into nursing by being born with asthma. I couldn't get a grip on how to treat her. My next door neighbor's son was asthmatic with the same seasonal triggers. If we were both...

  8. Finally, some evidence for environment-driven obesity.

    roser13 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is fascinating. It could help answer the question of why so many more folks are obese today than historically (apart from the usual suspects of easier lifestyle, processed foods, etc.). More...

  9. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    roser13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Who cares? I do, for one, and here's why: When I give pre-op instructions to patients on behalf of Anesthesia and the patients argue with my NPO parameters or medication instructions because "Dr....

  10. Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    roser13 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you feel vindicated. I guess. I for one have puzzled over the reason for this thread. If it's not passive-aggressively promoting the "caring" nurse who feels "called" into this profession...

  11. Refresher Course

    roser13 replied to Sofiareeze's topic in Nurse Registration

    I'm a little confused. Are you asking about refresher courses and "under-board" positions in the Phillipines? Or another country? What is an under-board position? And why would you be willing to...

  12. Nursing Salary in Indiana

    roser13 replied to BabyRN08's topic in General Nursing

  13. CNA to RN

    roser13 replied to Katelynlenhart's topic in General Nursing

    This class will not help you get ahead in your academic studies. CNA is not a degree. CNA's usually take a course of some weeks, ending with a certificate of accomplishment. Working as a CNA during...

  14. Finally, some evidence for environment-driven obesity.

    roser13 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!

  15. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    roser13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?" Plain and simple: because they

  16. Job offer and salary negotiations

    roser13 replied to runner_rn's topic in General Nursing

    You are likely dealing with a salary scale based on years of experience and therefore will not be successful in trying to negotiate. Besides, I'm not sure why you would assume that perioperative...

  17. What is the difference between MSN NP and DNP

    roser13 replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. In some states, NP's can practice

  18. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    roser13 replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't believe that the incivility and poor communication in nursing is limited to elder/experienced on younger/less experienced. That's why I so vigorously battle the use of

  19. Why do nurses eat their young?

    roser13 replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Triple "like"! Great

  20. Why do nurses eat their young?

    roser13 replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you hang around here long enough, you'll understand how quick some folks are to cry NETY. It just gets old. I understand your frustration with the process and the expense, but a nurse enforcing...

  21. Why do nurses eat their young?

    roser13 replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sooooo, let me get this straight. The head of the nursing program deems your >7 year old program to be inadequate to award credit at HER institution, for HER department, while giving multiple...

  22. Weirdest/most difficult thing swallowed by a patient

    roser13 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Billiard ball. Surgeon just couldn't get a grip on it. Finally, he threaded a foley past the ball, inflated the bladder and nudged the ball out. 12-inch handle to a plunger. Again, so slick with poo...

  23. Males considering nursing?

    roser13 replied to gaits72's topic in Men in Nursing

    I most definitely have thoughts: Move on. Find another profession. Arrogance does not lend itself to nursing. Please do not characterize yourself as a representative of male nurses. The male nurses...

  24. Did I say something wrong?

    roser13 replied to Pkin1477's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously? Does my charge nurse say to me every morning "Please, will you take complete care of patients X, Y, Z & Q today?" No. She says "roser13, here is your assignment." That is all a...

  25. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    roser13 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    To whom are you speaking? If you'd like to reply to a specific post, you can use the "Quote" button in the lower right corner. However, it seems as if some mobile devices don't allow you to quote....
