    PostOpPrincess replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to GQue1911's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but unless you have a group of "magnet police"...who will follow up to make sure that "magnet rules" are followed? It's management...and leadership.. good leadership? Happy

    PostOpPrincess replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not implying that so let's make sure that's clear. What I am saying is that the hospital system I work in--doesn't do an all out discrimination based on ONE bottom line. They are pushing forward...

    PostOpPrincess replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, no we don't--I don't know about your end of the world, but not here. Our not-for-profit hospital funds our vascular institute and we are doing some incredible, incredible, OFF the GRID...

  21. The National Health Service - how do other countries provide care???

    PostOpPrincess replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

  24. Magnet - What Do You Think?

    PostOpPrincess replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on management, bottom line. I work in a magnet hospital, and we follow the magnet rules. And generally, they're sincere. My BS radar is pretty good, so if I had to, I'd call them on it. So...
