  1. Where is the caring and advocacy for ME when I really need it????

    ROLO replied to LoveActually's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry about this situation (sister's death, flying, lack of sympathy and/or xanax...). I'm with the "go the ER" group. If you've already made the flight, you still might need something to help...

  2. I feel like I am working at Walmart...The customer is always right!

    ROLO replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    The purpose of my post was to give tools to empower the nurse, not to find fault with the nurse. Two weeks ago, I had a bipolar patient, in manic phase, who called me everything but my name; but, some...

  3. I feel like I am working at Walmart...The customer is always right!

    ROLO replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    There are a couple of things that I try to remember in this difficult situation: Be the best that I can be. If I am already in a bad mood, or I have responded in an obviously bad way, then I have to...

  4. Nurses taking patient's off backboards without doctor clearnce?

    ROLO replied to the big nurse's topic in Emergency

    Awesome point! That is a reminder that the ED nurse must commit to the nursing process: assessment (subjective and objective), planning, intervention, & evaluation. Why would we leave this man on...

  5. Nurses taking patient's off backboards without doctor clearnce?

    ROLO replied to the big nurse's topic in Emergency

    (If this appears twice, it is because I hit something and it was accidently sent). I could not have said it better! Doesn't TNCC address this? Seems my last couple of courses did. Also, we talked...

  6. What is a good ER Nursing Book?

    ROLO replied to lm8539's topic in Emergency

    I like EMERGENCY NURSING MADE INCREDIBLY EASY . I also like CRITICAL CARE & EMERGENCY NURSING by Schumacher & Chernecky . But, there is also nothing like some good 'ole basic life...

  7. Online CNS programs

    ROLO replied to RNangel98's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Do what I did...keep researching (and praying)... I think if I were younger, I probably would have done the CNS track and been a trailblazer, sort of fighting for the CNS to be able to do what...

  8. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

  9. Parent - Child CNS?

    ROLO replied to waterlily252's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I have never seen "parent-child CNS." I think you are going to have to contact the school to get a definite answer. I guess I sort of had "mother-baby" in the back of my mind, with the "parent-child...

  10. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    ROLO replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    WOW! Some very interesting insight, Tammy! Your reminder of some NPs forgetting their nursing roots is one reason the CNS role was attractive to me...seemed more nursing-based. As an ED RN for almost...

  11. Am I too old to become an NP?

    ROLO replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is really cool! I am thankful for the encouraging people that I have met at allnurses.com. In my current online MSN program, I have a mentor of sorts. She received her BSN in the early 70s, and...

  12. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    ROLO replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you, Cardiology, that is an awesome idea. The problem is that I am tired. I have been in school the last 7 years (RN-BSN, EMT, paramedic, working on MSN)! I'm really not lazy, just burnt-out...

  14. What allows one more independence? NP or CNS?

    ROLO replied to allsmiles2008's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for bringing this up... I had been meaning to ask, as I have not found this in any literature: IS there a trend for dropping any differentiation between CNSs and NPs? I am really not sure...

  15. Parent - Child CNS?

    ROLO replied to waterlily252's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    WOW! I think you are in a great position, especially if you have ruled out NP. For what you are wanting to do, or interested in, that basically leaves CNS. Also, I think you have some great options as...

  16. Interview questions for CNS position

    ROLO replied to Myethpio's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Also, if I am not mistaken, you can probably google to find out common interview questions. For a long time, I kept a list that was sent to me (can't remember where it came from). They were pretty...

  17. Online CNS programs

    ROLO replied to RNangel98's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I was/am in the adult/geri CNS track. After much research into the CNS role though, I think I am changing to the acute care NP track. I think the CNS is awesome. I am not sure though that medical...

  18. Different roles for CNS's??? Come on guys share what you do!

    ROLO replied to traumaRUs's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    traumaRUs, I just wanted to thank you for all your kind words & support! I could have sent you a private message, but I wanted to post for the benefit of others. I checked in with our state board...

  20. Family NP, Ped, NP, Psych NP

    ROLO replied to Julz034's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    These are some really good questions regarding "crossing over" into other areas of practice. I am an adult/geri CNS student, and I am wondering what it is exactly that I'll end up doing --especially...

  22. Central Indiana CNS Grad Student

    ROLO posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    :grpwlcm: Greetings! I would love to hear from Indiana CNSs! I am an adult/geri CNS student, hoping to continue working in the ED, but as a CNS/APN. As a young "nursling," I grew up in an environment...

  23. Online CNS programs

    ROLO replied to RNangel98's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Greetings! I did a TON of research on online grad schools before I finally started (I am entering my last year of school...I hope). My first choice was University of South Alabama (USA). Eventhough I...
