  1. Should rural nursing be a specialty?

    msn10 replied to msn10's topic in Rural

    Thank you for your responses so far!!!! The IOM and Robert Wood Foundation found so many unique problems in the rural setting that they are proposing a special curriculum for rural nursing like in...

  2. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with you, but it is hard to get nurses with a lot of beside experience to go into nursing education instead of DNP, CRNA, etc. MSN education grads average about $55,000/year full time. That...

  3. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Are we looking at this the wrong way? Should there be different names for different levels of nursing? Truth be told I always thought of nursing as a profession, but I guess we can hardly call...

  4. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have to agree with eriksoln (at least to some degree) about this one. Being professional and being in a profession are 2 different things. Sure, you should dress for the job you want, not the one...

  5. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    too bad you did not attend a better program. all the phd's in my university have ( and most of them still do) a great deal of bedside nursing experience; myself included - at the bedside 15 years...

  6. RN's and the Cult Mentality

    msn10 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that the nursing profession is a cult, but certain hospital cultures may fit that description. Nursing is too diverse. However, I think you just described America right now. Don't trust our...

  7. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Eriksoln, Sorry for the late response, but I was on vaca and I finally have my computer back. Anyway, don't worry about the community health definitions, community health is usually in the BSN...

  8. OK. Now this is getting outta hand.

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    It may be more of a female dominated workplace thing. I use to work at UPS in college. I was the only female in my area (out of 20 guys). Guys really didn't gossip. If they had a problem with you,...

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    You two may have the steelers, but I am happy to say I have the

  10. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit that I am about done with this thread. I don't like to argue just to be right, in fact I like to learn just as much as I like to discuss. Just ask Ericklson. He wrote a great article...

  11. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I usually say what I mean. Never said that they were removed, just said that most medical interventions are at the secondary prevention level especially when it comes to screening. Screening...

  12. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I told you I have off for 6 weeks :D:D I guess I should take up gardening and find a good book. My kids are sick of me

  13. C-section vs. letting Mom go naturally

    msn10 replied to JRP1120, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. I had my second daughter via cesarean because she was undeliverable breach. I then had my youngest VBAC. I liked both lady partsl deliveries so much because I was able to get back to normal...

  14. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but you have to have a reason for your nursing interventions. An assessment is not a concrete label or classification of the problem. It is an observation of one or more symptoms of the problem....

  15. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point, but go back to the time before you even walked into a room for the very first time. How did you know that a BKA had limited mobility? Sure, most people would understand that, but...

  16. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Sure. Nausea is a ND as well as Diarrhea. Those are 2 of the problems my daughter was having. I originally tried to treat her for the anorexia symptoms because that is what the doctor thought she...

  18. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    msn10 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    I totally second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Celiac disease can cause depression, stomach cramps, diarrhea and most importantly lactose intolerance. It is too bad your nurse friend does not...

  19. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    msn10 replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    I am a school nurse and that is exactly what the nurse should have done. By health code laws in our state, we can't even send a child back to his or her locker if they come to the clinic with a fever....

  20. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    MunoRN Sorry it is off topic but when doing a ND in a community setting, there is a difference. Primary Prevention: "Relates to activities directed at preventing a problem before it occurs (Keller...

  21. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I hate about these threads is that people can come off sounding snarky when they don't mean to be. That is the last thing I want to do so please read my questions with the idea that...

  22. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Totally fine, I like debating topics with you. However, I am not 'holding onto' anything, I just use it along with other things. I would do my students a disservice if I did not talk about it...

  23. What are you best work tips?

    msn10 replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Never, under any circumstances talk badly about anyone behind their back. This rule applies to more than just nursing, but I learned this in 5th grade and it is the best life lesson I ever learned....

  24. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Are you suggesting that "the nursing process" (and the DO process, presumably?) is more likely to yield an answer than "the medical diagnostic process"? If so, when those few holistic MDs incorporate...

  25. Possibility of Undergrad working in the ICU towards becoming CRNA

    msn10 replied to fmiller007's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't look at the 1-2 years minimum time requirement in an ICU as something you 'need' to have, I would see it as a privilege to have. Consider it as pre-requisite/extra schooling for CRNA...
