1. Largest Nurses Strike in US History - Replacement Nurses Arrive - Your opinion

   sibelian replied to girlvet's topic in Union

   Whatever the pros or cons of unions in nursing, I think it's disgraceful for nurses to strike a hospital and walk out on sick patients. Whatever we do, we should do no harm. There are ways to achieve professional standards aside from walking out on p...

2. I bet they thought they hushed everything up.

   sibelian replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

   If the OP had overheard protected patient information, I'm sure she would have told us. She didn't (tell us), because she didn't (hear that). So what we have here is a post about two people who "apparently" work at the local hospital ("I don't believ...

3. I bet they thought they hushed everything up.

   sibelian replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

   This has to be a candidate for one of the silliest, most useless posts ever. What is the point ?

4. Is it bad to retract your job offer?

   Exceptable? .... sigh

5. is there something wrong with using the word combative?

   sibelian replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   Ah ... I thoroughly disagree. There is no room for relativism here; "combative" has a clear and unambiguous meaning, and has been commonly used in medical charting for eons. It means "inclined to fight". Here, the OP described the patient as "kicking...

6. UPDATE on my battle with the GA LPN BON

   sibelian replied to DogWmn's topic in Georgia

   It's telling that you throw off the term "hijacking" to the sole person who is providing another perspective to your soap opera. What comes through, despite your best efforts to portray otherwise, is this: in a state where there are 33,000+ active li...

7. UPDATE on my battle with the GA LPN BON

   sibelian replied to DogWmn's topic in Georgia

   Actually, I HAVE dealt with the GA BON; they took three weeks to process my application for licensure by endorsement. While I disliked the requirement that I personally come to Georgia to have my fingerprints taken at a GAPS location, I can't argue w...

8. How much will the nursing program affect my sports watching?

   sibelian replied to ljonm's topic in Male Students

   This is a joke, right ? If watching sports on TV is more important to you than preparing for a livelihood where you'll be responsible for someone's health, you're going into the wrong profession.

9. UPDATE on my battle with the GA LPN BON

   sibelian replied to DogWmn's topic in Georgia

   While I'm not unsympathetic to anyone who wants to work, I have to say that I think you're demonizing the Georgia BON unfairly and needlessly. From what I can gather from your multiple postings, you were out of practical nursing for 18 years when you...
