  1. cleaning poop

    Sheri257 replied to tprashad's topic in General Nursing

    I can handle cleaning poop but, what I absolutely can't stand is when you clean up the patient over and over again, and they just keep going ... keeping you from getting anything else done. Three...

  2. Absurd Things That Managers Do

    Sheri257 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Luckily, I don't work at this particular hospital anymore but ... I was at a clinical rotation where the new Med Surg Director warned the staff that you would be written up if you're scrubs were "too...

  3. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This gets back to the age old arguments about how valuable nursing education is or isn't. But I think a lot of people would agree that someone who at least has gone to LVN school is probably going to...

  4. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You've made some excellent points here rehab nurse. I would just like to elaborate on why the board had issues with EC and the CPNE. It wasn't just the lack of clinical hours in the program, even...

  6. How relevant are the US News & World Report rankings for NP programs?

    Sheri257 replied to porterwoman's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I used to work for U.S. News, and I wouldn't take these rankings seriously. These features are designed to sell advertising more than anything else, and usually it's compiled by some young intern who...

  7. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That may be. But the headline of the thread doesn't just imply that it's set in stone. It states: EC grads WILL be allowed licensure in California. If people want to post positive things and disagree...

  8. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well ... maybe they don't post "wild" rumors, but they have been known to exaggerate a bit ... For example, in their statement after the court decision, EC claims the board doesn't review transcripts...

  9. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree. Don't take my word for it. But what has the board said about this? Nothing. Ultimately, it's the board's decision and, so far, nothing has changed there. I just hope that people don't make...

  10. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry but, I don't think this is the case. The board is not going to suspend the clinical requirements. And, if you notice, EC isn't actually making that claim either: This really isn't any...

  11. EC grads will be allowed licensure in California *update*

    Sheri257 replied to rehab nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Actually, from what I understand after talking to a couple of staff members at the BRN ... this is more complicated than what the letter states. Excelsior is going to have to go to each school in...

  12. A 1,000,000 National RN shortage by 2010?

    Sheri257 replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, there is a projected shortage of about 1 million RN's but ... In the year 2020 ... not the year 2010. At least according to the U.S. Health Department....

  13. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    Sheri257 replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was wondering about the same thing ... Apologies if I happened to miss any posts that may have already explained this but ... I am totally confused on the ICU situation. After reading this and other...

  14. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    History might be a good indicator in this case. The California Nurses Association and the Texas Nurses Association were both founded at the about same time (1903 and 1907 respectively). Yet, here we...

  15. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    Sheri257 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY !!!! And it happens ALL the time. This is why it sometimes doesn't pay to study that hard because, someone who doesn't study much can do just as well as you because the teachers...

  16. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    If they're really trying to do something about Group One ... why isn't there anything on their website about it. Why haven't they made a public statement so RN's will know TNA is trying to help them....

  17. how easy is it to find a nursing job w/ an ADN in so. cali?

    Sheri257 replied to JEWELZxO6's topic in General Nursing

    So easy it's pathetic. Recruiters fall all over themselves trying to hire you. However, getting into an ADN program in SoCal is not so easy due to the waiting lists.

  18. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah ... but it cuts both ways. People have to know that the organization has leadership that will actually DO something before they'll put their money into it. CNA, for example, is probaby radical to...

  19. Union or non-union?

    Sheri257 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    There are circumstances where the union may not do as well when they first come in. Generally a brand new union contract will not be as good as union contacts that have been negotiated over 20 years....

  20. Union or non-union?

    Sheri257 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that unions which are run by nurses, best represent nurses. But I disagree that a union has to start from scratch during every negotiation. I've personally found that the facilities which...

  21. Union or non-union?

    Sheri257 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    This is true ... From RNWeb.com ... 2005 Earnings Survey: How Does Your Pay Stack Up? http://www.rnweb.com/rnweb/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=182475&pageID=3 "Without a doubt, however, nurses in...

  22. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah ... but why go there in the first place? If we're talking about what's better .... a ratio law versus a safe harbor provision ... the ratio law's gotta be better because it's much more...

  23. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    True ... but, as you pointed out with this quote ... unions might not have incentive to do it. As the fight over the ratio law demonstrates ... it takes a lot of money to win these battles for...

  24. Group One background checks in Texas

    Sheri257 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'd be willing to bet that if California hospitals tried to pull something like this ... the unions would scream bloody murder. They'd probably try to take it to court. And if they couldn't win in...

  25. Raises-how often do you get them?

    Sheri257 replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I've been debating the commuting thing myself. There's plenty of work where I live but the job opportunities, pay and benefits are much better 45 minutes away. I too dreaded the commute but, now that...
