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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    The 6 docs who misdiagnosed my daughter's illness were all MD's. The doc who finally listened to my husband and I and saved her life was a DO. My husband is an MD (who knowledge was also essential...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    The above examples are not primary prevention except for immunizations, they are examples of secondary prevention. I don't see too many physicians out in the community doing primary prevention which...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trying to argue with anyone on this issue. I just see it from a different point of view - non-hospital nursing. Again, I think there needs to be a revision in the system because it is hard to...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    And many don't. If you don't want to use ND in your setting than find another way to document, communicate, and then make it a universal approach so when we all have online medical records, your...

  5. why dont i care like i should?

    msn10 replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in General Nursing

    Really well

  6. Seriously considering dropping nursing school for medical school?

    msn10 replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it if that is were your heart is (and please always remember how much respect you feel for nursing.) However, if you think the nursing application process was hard, hold onto your hat;...

  7. Family members make me nervous

    msn10 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Let me add to 'Been there, done that''s post. If a patient would ask me about a new condition or treatment that I was unsure of I would say: "Yes, that is a very good question, but I haven't seen the...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    What do you do when your patient does not have a medical diagnosis? I see us a health care profession. I try and prevent disease instead of just healing someone after they have obtained

  9. Family members make me nervous

    msn10 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with that statement. If you do in fact get back to the family, they will trust your information because they will feel as if their family member was important enough to have the right...

  10. Nurse Educators, Introduce Yourselves!

    msn10 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I have been a member of allnurses for years, yet I have never come across this thread. I am an instructor at a fairly large university in Wisconsin. We are the only university to have an ADN, BSN, and...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I don't use an ND curriculum, I said I used ND to teach nurses how to think about patients above and beyond the medical diagnosis. For the other 40% of nurses who...

  12. New Grad with Chronic Fatigue

    msn10 replied to morningland's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Morningland, I pm'd you some

  13. New Grad with Chronic Fatigue

    msn10 replied to morningland's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I haven't seen any medical advice given, just personal past experience about what happened to them in their own lives and how they made it better. Aren't nurses suppose to use clinical and personal...

  14. New Grad with Chronic Fatigue

    msn10 replied to morningland's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Do you have any other symptoms besides fatigue? Headache, joint pain, nausea after eating, stomach pain, irritability, or anything

  15. So, what's it gonna take for nursing to change and become what it's supposed to be?

    msn10 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to try and answer "What is the meaning of life?" Might be easier to

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I am not saying you can't evaluate your own learning, but you said NANDA ND's are "detrimental" to nursing education. I find that to be an overstatement. To your point, and you may have missed mine...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Fabulous.

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I pm'd you on

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have their position statements on that? Are you an educator? I'm confused because according to the ANA and (Kautz, Kuiper, Pesut, & Williams, 2006; Kelly, Weber, & Sprengel,...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks nursel56!!!! I have been around long enough (and even been known to blown off ND here and there) to know that NANDA nurses don't usually work at the bedside. However, they are great teaching...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Nursel56 One of the clinicals I teach is at a free clinic in the inner city. We see a great number of sexually abused women. Gang rape, sex abuse, STD's. I would question how a medical diagnosis would...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I know. NANDA just tried to organize the information. I hear no other remedy, just complaining. No you don't need NANDA, but you need a plan. Nurses aren't teachers by luck, it is a skill, a...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it is the dietician that is counseling us and the nice part is we didn't have to get a referral for her. Most docs do not know how to properly consult a patient on dietary needs. Most of the...

  24. Online MSN/MBA or FNP vs. Traditional MSN/MBA or FNP Programs

    msn10 replied to NewMeJCRN's topic in Nursing Career

    There are a lot of great colleges/universities that have online AND traditional programs in one house. I recommend these because very often they do not differentiate between online or traditional...

  25. Is it really "alternative"??

    msn10 replied to CareGiving's topic in General Nursing

    Whether it is true or not, I hear quite a few docs say that "those who could not get into medical school went to DO school." Harsh, but seems to be the tagline. Anyway, I can't tell the difference at...
