  1. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    1600 physicians in one group has got to be a record. I am glad you have friends in the group, and maybe some don't care, but they will be the first ones out of the group because they obviously have no...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    nursel56 Yes, one specific example: My daughter has Celiac disease. She almost died from wasting away until a nurse diagnosed the problem. Most doctors do not know what this disease is, much less...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter has Celiac disease. She almost died from wasting away until a nurse diagnosed the problem. Most doctors do not know what this disease is, much less how to treat it. I took her to 7...

  4. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    PMFB-RN Trust me, they are constantly worrying about it. As a former business owner, I know that first-hand. Even if you "pay" someone else to do that for you, it is a constant worry. AND the...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Really ??????????What if you don't agree with the Medical diagnosis? Many of you are basically saying docs don't make mistakes. With a nursing diagnosis, you are able to do interventions on your own...

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Really?

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

    msn10 replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    OP What do you suggest we change to? If we simply follow medical diagnosis, how can we be regarded as anything but a physician's handmaiden? I think you are correct in that there needs to be a change...

  8. Time to call a duck a duck?

    msn10 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Looking forward to it

  9. A question for career changers.

    msn10 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unless you are on wall street. (Remember the 2008 mess?) I think it comes down to the culture of the business/unit and the manager of your floor. If those 2 elements are positive, you won't have said...

  10. A question for career changers.

    msn10 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't entirely agree with that statement. Although they may have not seen a great deal of sexism or bullying, bullying in the workplace is one of the most problematic issues in business today. The...

  11. A Short History of Anti-pathophysiologicalism

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

    Yes, and can you see the new RN who was able to take the "dumbed down" version of pathophysiology talking with the MD who was required to take the real one someday? I have nightmares about sending my...

  12. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is good to hear. The last clinical I taught (ADN to BSN) there were PA's working in a setting where they usually don't work and they treated my RN's like CNA's. Had to cool the fires that

  13. Why do some Medstudents love to belittle nurses?

    msn10 replied to LPNweezy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it is the majority of med students who participate in this type of behavior. I think nurses just really remember the ones who do it and are completely offended because it shows a...

    msn10 replied to suzem's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    love

  15. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    msn10 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Hey OP, A couple more thoughts. I am the author of a continuing education module for the Wisconsin Nurse Residency Program regarding delegation. Although delegation can vary from state to state,...

  16. SL Nitroglycerin, O/C MD Blues

    msn10 replied to suzem's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That doc sounds like he would have yelled at you in the morning if you didn't call him. Sounds like he just wants to yell. To answer you question: If the patient has a cardiac history and/or is on a...

  17. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    msn10 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, as you described it, your CNA is insubordinate. My only suggestion is that when you write her up, be VERY specific about what she refuses to do. Managers have a very hard time disciplining when...

  18. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    msn10 replied to guest_57352's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Dear Op, That was your original question, but you stated you shadowed a doctor first and you are comparing the md model with the nursing model. Yes, there have been a few snarky comments on this...

  19. Can an ER Nurse to an ER Physician?

    msn10 replied to lilyellowfireball's topic in Emergency

    Some of the best doctors were nurses as well. They get the entire health care "scene." I would rather a medical student go to nursing school first than just getting a degree in biology. I knew a...

  20. Nurse Practioner Diagnostic Ability

    msn10 replied to guest_57352's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    As an educator for ADN, BSN, and now MSN students, let me say that as an NP, your diagnosing ability is only limited to by your experience and your pursuit of additional educational opportunities...

  21. false reassurance

    msn10 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    OP 3 years ago on Sept 11, I went to the hospital because my husband (an MD) thought I was having a stroke. I was having symptoms like that TV news reporter did (Serene Bronson) the one who could not...

  22. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    msn10 replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree, or the snarky side of me says to have him write a paper about what real nursing is to him. Either he will learn a lot or weed himself out. BTW I am really just kidding. Maybe I am not quite...

  23. Nursing students who do not understand what nursing is about

    msn10 replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    And it works brilliantly. Not all the time, but well for the most part. The university that I teach at (ADN and BSN students - and yes it is a university with ADN students which is wonderful) requires...

  24. Intubation and Sedation

    msn10 replied to shannonFNP's topic in Emergency

    Also, the ASA is almost demanding it come back because of the problems with the production and past shortages of propofol. http://news.nurse.com/article/20110125/OR02/301250034 I think they will win...
