  1. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    OH, I didn't know that they made BSN's take European History! I don't know if BSN's take European history or not but I know that my BS degree included 'Empirical Studies", and 'Statistics" and oddly...

  2. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Obviously. I have a previous BS degree. After I got my AS degree in nursing at a CC, I thought that I would complete a BSN but was told by Virginia Commonwealth University not to bother as my BS was 3...

  3. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    It's understandable to wish you had spent less on college, but there's something wrong with thinking that any additional education is useless. The poster hasn't said that her additional education was...

  4. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    This reminded me of my graduation night from my Community College's ADN program. There were alot of 'academic achievement' awards given out. But funny enough, none were given to any students from the...

    Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. Lily Ledbetter Goodyear paid her significantly less than her male counterparts. The lawsuit she filed against them eventually reached the Supreme Court....

    Well the Supreme Court has said its ok so it must be

  7. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I will say it again. Until the nursing profession, or as a whole, decides that we are indeed NOT equal to each other with our diploma nurses, ADN nurses, LPN nurses, and BSN nurses, we are stuck with...

  8. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Until the nursing profession decides to formally declare that our different paths of education should be weighted differently, we are all stuck with the NCLEX as the entry to

  9. Community College? You must be stupid.

    Goldenhare replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I got a BS degree from a major university in 1985. In 2005, I got a ADN from a community college. The community college was in a major Virginia city. We shared clinical facilities with a University....

  10. Have you CYA if you make a "note" that a patient won't follow policy?

    Goldenhare replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think we have different definitions for the same things. To me, how to administer meds, carry out orders etc, is a procedure, not a policy. But I'm not sure that is even the point of the posters...

  11. Have you CYA if you make a "note" that a patient won't follow policy?

    Goldenhare replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RE: NP in WCH "They have the right to refuse ANY treatment, even if it is policy." 1) My understanding is that treatments tend to be covered by orders, not policies. 2) You list yourself as a NP. A...

  12. Have you CYA if you make a "note" that a patient won't follow policy?

    Goldenhare replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just my two cents, but you did right! The policy is there for a reason. If you had made an exception for this dad, it would have been based on WHAT? Because dad got his knickers in a twist?Because he...

  13. "1-2 yrs acute nrs experience preferred.." what does this mean?

    Goldenhare replied to im_melba's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't inderstand the reference to "Acute nursing experience " as it applies to your current position, then do not apply" The poster is a new grad in a difficult position. She doesn't want to be...

  14. HR MGRS! HELP! Experienced Nurse-Job Failures

    Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in Nursing Career

    Most questions were policy based questions, like to make sure I entered an order correctly or clarified spwlling of a docs name. You know, I wanted to get it right. l pretty much kept my head down and...

  15. HR MGRS! HELP! Experienced Nurse-Job Failures

    Goldenhare posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Please help! I am in a bind. I am an experienced med/surg RN with 5 years experience. I left a good job where I was for 4 years (and towards the top of the senority) on the east coast to move to the...

  16. Job Interview

    Goldenhare replied to dazyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dazyRN!! Yes, a thank you ote is ALWAYS appropriate!! Hope you get the job!!

  17. Job Interview

    Goldenhare replied to dazyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I am interviewing and thought this may be a good place to ask. I had a second interview with the manager and 4 floor nurses. One of the nurses looked familiar...

  18. Planning advice needed

    Goldenhare replied to Whole Life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say have your kids first, volunteer when you can, and add in prereqs. You really don't know what your pregnancy will be like, or if your babies will be challenged in some way or another. When you...

  19. Patients and the race card

    Goldenhare replied to CanadaEh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reading this thread, I was surprised to see how many posters pounced on the OP like she did something wrong? She was asking advice. That's all. She is correct to be concerned. The race card is just...

  20. Group one -black list for nurses in dallas

    Goldenhare replied to nitenurselorraine's topic in Texas Nursing

    If I remember my employment law, the only thing LEGALLY that can be said about a "unsatisfactory employee" is that you would not rehire them. Anything else you might add can be construed as slander....

  21. terminated-though I was "allowed" to resign

    Goldenhare posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had to move from a stressful job that I liked because my husband got a job transfer cross country. It took quite a while to find a job. I was grateful to have found one. Here is my question. 3 days...

  22. terminated-though I was "allowed" to resign

    Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    The other nurses seemed pretty content all in all. Staffing was good. I really can't complain. Where I came from was way worse! There were some things that I thought were off. Like lots of internet...

  23. terminated-though I was "allowed" to resign

    Goldenhare replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree with you, NOTHING AT ALL was even whispered to me till that day. Not a

  24. Have you ever cheated?

    Goldenhare replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    Is helping another student with something they didn't know cheating? According to the wording of certain codes of conduct, sure. How about sharing notes with someone? Also could be considered...

  25. Telling relatives the patient has died

    Goldenhare replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety-I think the poster who asked for clarification on whether a nurse tells the family that there relative has died has a point. I worked night shift very recently on a med surg floor and we WERE...
