  1. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    TLSpaz replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    the condescention is unbelieveable here. in addition to missing the point of my post entirely, you seem to have also missed the fact that i am a registered nurse. and since you like them so much,...

  3. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    TLSpaz replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: Well, according to your Wikipedia article, since 1967! I was born in 1976, and took micro and patho in the mid-90s, so for me it has always been Yersinia! All I ever knew of the Pasteurella...

  12. Student nurse gets the boot...veteran nurse fired

    TLSpaz replied to C287's topic in General Nursing

    THIS: Veteran nurse?!?!!!! What kind of veteran nurse allows someone to violate her patient in this manner? She failed to protect and advocate for her patient who was in an EXTREMELY vulnerable...

    TLSpaz replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

  16. Georgia code 43-26-7 (article 1) re Excelsior education

    TLSpaz replied to 4pancakes's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I do not think the previous poster meant to convey that the GA BON has no power ("has no oversight" was the phrase, I believe). The poster meant, I think, that there appears to be no one overseeing...

  17. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    TLSpaz replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  19. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    TLSpaz replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have owned several pairs of them. They take some getting used. I had to adjust to them slowly, with frequent shoe changes. If cushioning is a deal-breaker for you, then EarthShoes are a "no-go."...

    Would you mind telling me where I can read more about that particular statistic, please? It seems that this would be true and yet at the same time be the result of some type of a logical fallacy....
