  1. Why do we eat our young?

    Guest343211 replied to jreynrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh but many nurses do get away with it, many times, daily. The leadership tolerates it. Look at the middle management and upper management. In order for those others to change, the leadership has...

  2. ER Nurse Attitude

    Guest343211 replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    psu, I acknowledged, more than once, that we/I were/was not there. All I am saying is strive to be respectful of all people--even if you feel they haven't earned it. I have seen patients escalate...

  3. Why do we eat our young?

    Guest343211 replied to jreynrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But there is a social dynamic that some may be missing. The "culture" of the area or unit that is set in play and given full run determines the level of toxicity very often. Isolated issues of...

  4. Why do we eat our young?

    Guest343211 replied to jreynrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK. In some ways, this is pretty simple. First, nurses do not JUST eat their young; they eat each other, regardless of age or experience. Second, they do this b/c they TASTE good. Seriously. It's...

  5. As Nurse Lay Dying, Offering Herself as Instruction in Caring

    Guest343211 replied to herring_RN's topic in Nurses Rock

    That's heavy. Still, at least you had that wonder teacher for a while. Not every student is fortunate to get those experiences. Makes me sad when I hear students talk about their whole program...

  6. Cost of BSN

    Guest343211 replied to p.xochil's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry, maybe it's me. But what credible school awards a person a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing with only 10 classes--even for RN-BSN degree completion? It's DETC Accreditation, and some...

  7. ER Nurse Attitude

    Guest343211 replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No one is questioning that at all TG. Just saying that people tend to get into certain modes of behaviors and responses, and they need to at least try to keep them in check. Esme said it best....

  8. ER Nurse Attitude

    Guest343211 replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yea, we really don't know exactly how things went down. A point of discernment for me, however, was the comment made re: bleeding. At the very least, you have time to say all that, you have time to...

  9. Cost of BSN

    Guest343211 replied to p.xochil's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    right!

  10. As Nurse Lay Dying, Offering Herself as Instruction in Caring

    Guest343211 replied to herring_RN's topic in Nurses Rock

    Great take aways from this article: "The patient isn't Martha per se," Ms. Keane said, "it's the entire family." "The best advice she could give future nurses, Ms. Keochareon said in her...

  11. Are Managers against nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to tiacali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The problem with many managers that I have seen is that they are predominately focused on their own career trajectory--bottom line. I have seen great managers that put patients, nurses, as well as...

  12. ER Nurse Attitude

    Guest343211 replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly, unless you are working in literally an inner city war zone with back-to-back GSWs or critical medical disasters, every minute is not like this. People get into a justified or rationalized...

  13. ER Nurse Attitude

    Guest343211 replied to Chlometov's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Over 20 years in nursing, and worked at a zillion places. I have to agree. At the same time, I wasn't there, and as you have stated, neither were you, OP, right? :) About that nurse that was going...

  14. Cost of BSN

    Guest343211 replied to p.xochil's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Call me crazy, but I am hard-pressed to find any bachelor's degree worthy of>$160-180K. If you are not walking out with a graduate degree from that program, forget it. Take as much GE courses as...

  15. Cost of BSN

    Guest343211 replied to p.xochil's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's ridiculous, and I wouldn't pay that, period. Remember if you take out loans, you will be paying a lot more than

  16. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Guest343211 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Regardless, the reality is the reality. The business side of healthcare IMHO could care less about the nursing profession and its level of education. They are taking advantage of an...

  17. SICK of BSN Pedestal

    Guest343211 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The discussion is a tired one. We have to move on, because the system is. I never hear teachers whining over their baseline educational requirements. And nowadays, right, wrong, or indifferent,...

    Guest343211 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    OK...super long yawn...Really??? Sometimes trolling => : (

  19. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    Guest343211 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hi LTC nurse11. What is oversimplified thinking, if someone is said to "have it or not"? Yea pretty much people oversimplify judging if others have it or not, especially in light of subjective,...

  20. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    Guest343211 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I will say that I have two very close family members that did an excellent job caring for elderly loved ones with medical needs at home, and one of them worked full-time. It wasn't at all easy, but I...

  21. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    Guest343211 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Doesn't the son understand what is going on with his dad physiologically? This is just stupid. I think the son doesn't understand the difference between his father's current situation and private...

  22. Today's Dr. Phil shocker: Nursing home abuse

    Guest343211 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Uh no. I am wary and cagey in the first place, and it would be a nightmare to me to have to go that route with a loved one. At any rate, however, 2 weeks would be too long, much less 2 years. I...

  23. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    Guest343211 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Interestingly, the term critical thinking, is open to numerous interpretations. Some people think other people aren't thinking critically when they are, they just aren't willing to look at other...

  24. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Guest343211 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yea, money in the schools'

  25. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    Guest343211 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    While that may be true, you have to also consider that new people coming in--or interested in the field--for whatever reason/s, tell themselves and each other that it's just a bunch of disgruntled,...
