  1. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    tntrn replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And then there is the very (un)cooperative Harry Reid, who just plain refuses to bring any of the GOP bills passed in the House to the Senate to even debate. Yep, there is so much cooperation with...

    tntrn replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    tntrn replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Count me as one of them. My kids are now 42 and 37. I won't bore anybody with their accomplishments or GPA's, one of which was stellar and one of which was not. Both are accomplished adults now....

  4. 8 or 12 hour shifts (single mom)

    tntrn replied to sunyata's topic in General Nursing

    I did 3:50p to 12:20a 8-hour shifts when my kids were young, as a single parent. And I loved it. I found responsible teens to babysit some of the time, and then found a woman with teens of her own,...

  5. Still don't get the BSN ADN thing...

    tntrn replied to tarotale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduated with an ASN in 1976 from a similar school....back when they were still called Junior Colleges. Our State Board Exam results were better than any nursing school in all of California. Never...

  6. ADN Nurses Being Forced to go Back to School?

    tntrn replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Once all nurses have BSN's, they will be doing bedside nursing for the most part because you can't have all of them going into administration. And most likely, they aren't going to be making the...

    tntrn replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

  8. SCOTUS

    tntrn replied to OC_An Khe's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  11. Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    tntrn replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would say the "hullabaloo" is that this law is so complex that even those who voted for it probably cannot explain it. And that everthing will vary depending on a patient's individual stats...how...

  16. Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    tntrn replied to Jb4564's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am recently and very happily retired. But I spent 35 years in the trenches, and there are times when we don't have time to "be nice" because the task in front of us requires something else. Also, I...

  20. That Dreaded 3-11 Shift

    tntrn replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    3-11 was my favorite shift. NO WAY would I work 12 hour shifts. And personally, I am very leary of those who are working 12's taking care of me and mine, especially if they have had several in a...

  21. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    tntrn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  24. Legalization of recreational marijuana

    tntrn replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing
