  2. Nurses Going to Med School

    LOL. .
  3. Nurses Going to Med School

    yup. Same
  4. Nurses Going to Med School

    Again that is NOT the case for everyone at all or every school. In fact, I'd be miffed if they felt they had to give nursing students a "dumbed down" version of biological sciences. What a slap in the...
  5. Nurses Going to Med School

    No that untrue. It depends upon the school and the level sci course you took and if it is transferrable to other undergrad science programs w/ a lab, etc. Our bios were EXACTLY the same, curriculum...
  6. Do nurses have an advantage in becoming a doctor?

    Well, call me crazy but we had to learn the pharmacokinetics for many things--and that was in my original school which was an ADN program--it was competitive to get entry into the program at that...
  7. Difficult familily members (VENT)

    OK, how is she in a four-year med school program and also an intern. Usually the first two years of MS are pre-clinical sciences--though some now have an integrated program. The second year is...
  8. 16 fired for HIPAA Violations

    I also agree about the firing. A suspension w/o pay would have gotten the message across loud and clear--along with mandiatory classes and written work. Administrations are too punitive over some...
  9. 16 fired for HIPAA Violations

    Certainly those people were just looking into the resident's record in order to be nosey about her situation. That's wrong. What I am quite concerned about is how this will affect nurses,...
  10. Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    Well this is not relevant to the discussion, but it is in response to your last comment Blue. I've worked in mostly big, university hospitals, and I've worked in community city hospitals, etc....
  11. Medical schools that admit Nurses?

    LOL. . . . except as it affects us. . . .I believe
  12. Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    Wow. . .all I can say is wow. I mean it certainly seems logical enough. Yet there is a problem I've encountered. The child's family wanted a second opinion on brain death testing and criteria from...
  13. "Fired for NO Reason"

    wow and yes this underscores my point from either side then! why? because the basis for decisions needs to be as truly measureable and objective as possible. . .end of story. truly objective measures...
  14. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    I made corrections, but for some reason, they did not take. Sorry for the double post--but again, it is not exactly the same. Scratching head. . . . I definitely hear you NICU RN. And I believe that...
  15. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    I definitely hear you NICU RN. And I believe that is probably very true for you. And Yes there are differences, no you don't simply have to work in a NICU to learn about caring for very sick...
  16. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    LOL sorry. I'll try to shorten my responses in the
  17. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    Found out that a new grad nurse that was a neighbor and with whom there had been a previous altercation or two--started with husbands--and it got worse from there--dissed me as a nurse to the manager...
  18. Certifications in the ED

    You mean that it is more along the lines of CCRN? The adult and peds CCRN are tough, but b/c of physiology and patho, in some ways, the adult was more difficult. Certain peds issues are tough b/c of...
  19. How hard is it for a new grad to get a job in the NICU?

    Michele, I respectfully disagree with the whole concept of the supposed "molding of a person into the type of nurse they should be instead of coming from other areas and having different ways of...
  20. People who flat out lie to get you fired

    She can try; but admin. does not have to--unless she is under some represented contract. They can conduct investigations, half-baked investigations, or none at all. It's probably At-Will-Employment....
  21. People who flat out lie to get you fired

    Wow, someone actually gets it and sums it up perfectly well. I mean other issues here notwithstanding--the issue regarding manager not wanting to rock the boat with the established employees, etc. You...
  22. Lost my job again!!!

    Well, I certainly don't think that anyone needs to feel ruffled, so to speak. And I see you trying to take an objective look at things. But here's the thing. Unless a person is under contract, union...
  23. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    And twinmommy. . .it wasn't that the NM told me that. What? You think she is nuts? Come on. Just remember that it is true what they say. "The walls have
  24. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    Got some information. It matters not. Every nasty word we needlessly inflict upon others, regardless of what we "think" our justification (rationalization) is will eventually find it's way back to us,...
  25. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    LOL Too, too true. Thank God it is not always true. Been a nurse for a long time, and I've had the absolute pleasure of working w/some great people/nurses and others that know the true meaning of...
