    Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    broughden replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Some other stations have posted the full video of what was taken, rather than the short one linked to at the top. It shows the young man was being utterly ridiculous, but it shows her...

    Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    broughden replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    Except numerous statements say this was the first time she walked into the room so I highly doubt he had already been discharged. Look was the young man acting like an idiot? Of course! But that...

    What is an RN, BAAN?

    broughden replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    True but it doesnt have anything to do with her being an RN and shouldnt be listed behind her RN anymore than an RN having a BA in Art History should list that. A BAAS is offered by some colleges...

    Really? Symptoms such as feeling like you are choking and chest pain are common symptoms of anxiety/panic attacks. Its why myocardial infarctions are often mistaken to be panic attacks in

    Los Gatos ER Physician in the News

    broughden replied to CityofAngelsRN's topic in Nursing News

    If the very FIRST time a provider walks into a room with a nonviolent patient is with a security guard, then yes it very much IS a racial thing. This is like the ridiculous woman calling the cops on...

    Is this considered bullying?

    broughden replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    Wait, what?!? First it was a bad preceptor/bully. Then you were physically threatened by the preceptor and a CNA. Now you've resigned? I'm beginning to come to a very strong understanding as to where...

    Is this considered bullying?

    broughden replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    Im sorry when and where did you post you were being threatened? Your story has changed from one mean preceptor to being physically threatened at work. Get your story straight and get back to

    Any certifications I can earn as a student to better my resume for when I graduate?

    broughden replied to themurse133's topic in General Nursing

    I havent looked at all certifications and their requirements but I do know for CEN there is no time nor experience requirement, just a recommendation. The OP still couldnt sit for the test though as...

    Is this considered bullying?

    broughden replied to Ilovenursing3's topic in General Nursing

    OP, 1. Your preceptor sounds like a bitter curmudgeon who isnt able to effectively give constructive feedback and is also terrible at communicating with subordinates so uses an ineffective...

    Do nurses tend to be enablers?

    broughden replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think your friend is an "enabler" unless she is in fact enabling something ie addiction. What it sounds like is that she is in a codependent relationship with a friend, and is being...

    PlanB after getting kicked out of nursing program

    broughden replied to brennareilly's topic in General Students

    Some colleges have a pre-professional nurses track that guarantees a spot in the actual ADN/BSN program as long as certain conditions are met. It would appear from the OP's post they were probably in...

    Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    broughden replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    No we actually arent. Considering I just finished nutrition, microbiology and physiology courses and they are all teaching the same thing. Calories and cellular respiration. Yes there are some...

    Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    broughden replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you know the facts and choose to ignore them, then you are in fact willfully noncompliant. No one is forcing you to binge on carbs or use eating as an emotional outlet versus exercise or some other...

    130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

    broughden replied to ns90's topic in General Students

    I dont know but you see it ALL the time on here. Like the veteran who could not be convinced that spending $45k for an ADN in a private for profit program was not a good idea. $45k for an associates....

    Should I transfer nursing schools?

    broughden replied to anmomma16's topic in General Students

    The problem I think the OP is going to run into is if they have already started at the private for profit school, many of their credits may not actually transfer. They maybe forced with staying and...

    How did she/he get through nursing school?

    broughden replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Just one small correction. That statement, which the media love throwing about, is only true if we count nosocomial infections as "medical mistakes." Nosocomial infections (respiratory, systemic,...

    Tearing my hair out over noncompliant DM2 patients!

    broughden replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Chronic overeating, is an addiction no different than heroin or opioids. Its motivators are closely linked. You have no more hope of motivating an obese diabetic to lose weight than you do a heroin...
