    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I keep getting painted with the brush that I am defensive and angry at those getting advanced degrees. And I know it's futile to try to say that I'm neither defensive nor angry, given that nothing can...

    I do believe that personal empowerment and spiritual empowerment are mutually exclusive. However, that doesn't meant that just because someone is getting a degree means they are seeking "personal"...

    I'd glady discuss something with you. I just don't know what it is you want to discuss. This is the second time I have mentioned this, and in the future, I'm not going to try to figure out what you...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, what? now I'm a troll? Because I bring up lively topics and respond to those who respond to me? You may want to read back through the posts and see that I have never personally attacked anyone....

  5. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people need to read an original post more carefully. All areas of nursing are important, but they are only important in the service they provide to the bedside nurse (the direct caregiver). If...

  6. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds really interesting. I wish you would elaborate a bit on

  7. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm talking about the operation of the nursing profession, not really about the reason for the existence of the

  8. Bedside is Best

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    By "bedside" I mean direct patient care, not necessarily at the bedside or

  9. RN's future role

    ADNRN replied to Brookwood's topic in General Nursing

    If they put you in charge, then maybe that's what God is calling you to do. And if God is calling you to be in charge then just take what I said in "Bedside is Best" with a grain of salt. That wasn't...

  11. CNA job types

    ADNRN replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an aid, and on the floor where I work I draw the blood for lab tests and I also do 12-lead EKGs. And I do perineal care. There is great glory in being a good CNA. I only make about 9 dollars an...

  12. Heart Problems???????????? Please help

    ADNRN replied to prairiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    OK, good reply, and I hear what you're saying, but I do think we do in fact wait for MD orders, except those things which are independent nursing interventions. I intend to work in critical care and...

  13. RN's future role

    ADNRN replied to Brookwood's topic in General Nursing

    In the practice of health care there are only two real elements: the physician and the nurse. Both are essential. Both have assistants, and of course there are the allied healthcare workers. The role...

  14. CNA schooling

    ADNRN replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

    My CNA school was 10 weeks and we met twice a week for four hours each time. Good luck in becoming a CNA, it changed my life for the

    What are you trying to discuss? I've answered every reply you've posted. What do you want to talk

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? You're absolutely right. What's sad is that it's not enough for you to be right--you have to be offensive as well. It's not enough for you to correct my misconception, you have to make...

    Bluesky, I don't know. Why do you feel convicted by what I wrote? If you don't feel convicted, why are you acting like I wrote the original post strictly about

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're the one hell-bent on finding prestige. I'm just saying you may not feel all that prestigious as a PA. You might find that you had more prestige as an RN. As for me, it's simple. I'm going to be...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    So, I'm arrogant and have a superiority complex and that makes me ridiculous. Of course, I never attacked you personally as you are doing to me. I never insulted you or called you names. So, see you...

  20. Low Down on Nursing Education

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great post, Caroline. As for me, I'm going to take a little time and come up with a new post. In truth, I couldn't care less about who has what degree. I'm going to be an RN, and I've already gone to...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should go for all the prestige you can get. You can have my share, too. You may not find as much prestige as a PA as you think, however. It's kind of like an E-9 getting promoted to 2nd...

    Sounds like you knew her pretty well. You must have done some work with her directly in the Missionaries of Charity ( I think that was the name of her order). Of course, what I really wanted to know...

    ADNRN replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good point on the reverse snobbery issue. In fact, I agree. And it may be the case that I was not actually called by God to be a nurse, but given the signs that have followed that calling; I have no...

  24. I really need help

    ADNRN replied to catrn10's topic in General Nursing

    I guess this is an ongoing thread or something, becuase I'm left wondering what happened to you. I mean, how did you injure yourself at

  25. Give me YOUR opinion (please!)

    ADNRN replied to NIC Student's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing about Canadian hospitals. You say 8 patients and I don't know what condition the 8 are in. Why not come work in
