    An online NP after an online BSN....sounds perfect.

    Anyone have experience with BoN wanting more background check info

    broughden replied to muggs's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Im a prior cop in NY but live in FL. We dont have DWAI in FL, and states that do vary from state to state as to what exactly it is. Additionally in NYS, there is DWAI (not drunk), DWAI-Drugs (just as...

    Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    broughden replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    Never, ever underestimate the human capacity for idiocy. People will create conspiracy theories or "facts" completely out of thin air. Again I think parenthood should come with mandatory testing and...

    Is it possible to get Gonorrhea working in a nursing home?

    broughden replied to marie_0068's topic in Infectious Disease

    Not entirely true. N. gonorrhoeae is a common cause of adult conjunctivitis. If she was treating an asymptomatic pt (bed bath or wiping genital area) and then touched near her eye without properly...

    Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    broughden replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    It should definitely be an individual choice, BUT the results of that choice should be not to hire you should you refuse to be vaccinated. It astounds me that we could have anti-vax people working in...

    Nurses who fail pre employment and employment drug test

    broughden replied to JustANormalGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sorry but the nurses and doctors in your facility dont adequately understand HIPAA then. 1. Any testing facility and employer are BOTH going to obtain a signed HIPAA waiver by anyone being given a...

    Is $40 Grand too much for an Associate Degree...

    broughden replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Students

    Its not the ONLY option left to you. There are numerous careers outside of the nursing field. If your only option to obtain an RN degree is a mountain of debt due to non-competitive grades, then one...

    Did I ruin my chances?

    broughden replied to ladder22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you lost a parent I would look at your student handbook and investigate what your school's emergency withdrawal policy is. Some schools will allow you to retroactively withdraw from classes due to...

    Universal Deathcare.

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, thats not accurate at all. The hospital and attending physicians made the decision to withdraw treatment and provide only palliative care, all the courts did was enforce that decision...

    Nurse busted for drugs/Hep C

    They still aren't sure. They don't know if she was giving herself some first and then the rest to the patient, or just deliberately sharing

    Universal Deathcare.

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I use the term repeatedly for two reasons. One because its the accurate descriptor for the condition. Two because maybe if I keep repeating it people will finally understand he wasnt going to recover....

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Im a nursing student. And "lysed" isnt a catch phrase its an accurate description of a broken down cell. Everything else you posted, in so far as how much respect should be shown to a cadaver or...

    Universal Deathcare.

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to get across the point they are "advocating" for a corpse, being artificially kept alive by life support. It appears based on the responses here, that such bluntness is in fact warranted...

    Universal Deathcare.

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    It was a brain dead body, there was no humanity left. It would be the equivalent of advocating against using a cadaver lab during nursing or med school, because of their "humanity". Frankly, Im not...

    broughden replied to Verlina's topic in General Nursing

    Verlina, I also live in Florida, and recently had a faculty member pushing me toward MD rather than the BSN/DNP route I was on, so I took sometime to investigate it. Here is what I discovered: The...

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Given the OP's profound and continued lack of understanding into basic human physiology, as evidenced by some of his posts in this thread, I question if they are a nurse at all. He has refused my...

    Universal Deathcare.

    broughden replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    So the tax payers should be responsible for artificially maintaining a corpse because the parents cannot handle the fact that their child is dead and unrecoverable? Sorry but no. It was a hunk of...

    Need ideas for safe Insect repellent

    broughden replied to Kel65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Kel65, I apologise. Saw this topic pop up and didn't realize it was under the recovery subforum. Let me just say I sympathize and find it ridiculous that you can't even use bug repellent with out...
