  1. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    msn10 replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    Her response is the reason my father believed that every 18 year old American should be required to do at least 1 year of military service before going to college; nobody really gets it unless they...

  3. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

    msn10 replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

    It is okay nursep2b. Deep breath, and release. Okay...you are going to make mistakes now and in the future. I applaud the nurses who admit their own mistakes and support you with their kind words. If...

  4. Nurse Anesthetists

    msn10 replied to TLCinCT's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All advanced nursing degrees take a lot of work. I am sure you will do great, you sound very passionate and excited to explore. I think it is wonderful that you are looking into the future. Many RN's...

  5. What do you think of this Ambien order?

    msn10 replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Scoochy, we got to talk. I find myself agreeing with you all the time!!:) Anyways, Scoochy and P RN are right. The laws have changed (even though many docs,nurses, and pharmD's are not aware yet)....

  6. What are some unique, non-acute RN jobs?

    msn10 replied to mochamocha's topic in General Nursing

  7. has anyone ever made the switch to MD?

    msn10 replied to aznbaby's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with 2 physicians who started their careers as RN's. Both women and both are wonderful. They have a unique blend of an easy, wonderful bedside manner and great repore with the other...

  8. Skating on thin ice?(at my job)

    msn10 replied to nursep2b's topic in General Nursing

    You said that a lot of the other nurses are making mistakes/omissions too. Is there a problem with the MAR itself? There are always going to be distractions in health care environments but maybe you...

  9. 2015 is it official? YES

    msn10 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From the AANA FAQ: "There is no credible evidence that nurses who currently hold doctorates use their credential and title in a way that misleads patients. In addition, ethical concerns require that...

  10. Texas: Methodist Hospital Moves To Hire Only RNS' with BS degree

    msn10 replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    A hospital in the area is doing the same thing (BSN requirement) but allowing the ADNs to be grandfathered in. However, many have come to realize - we are our own biggest problem. We need to decide...

  11. Are the new nurses to blame

    msn10 replied to Zaphod's topic in General Nursing

    Brilliant

  12. New Grad - no taxes taken from pay

    msn10 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    What they are doing is illegal. I owned my own business for years and had a few "independent contractors," but I was still responsible for IRS info for them too. If you have a physical building and...

  13. Obama Care

    msn10 replied to johnny depp23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Stay the same. I don't think our salaries will fluctuate, but scoochy is right, our taxes are going to up (yes even if you make less than $200,000) and, according to reports, you will no longer be...

  14. Scary scary nurse

    msn10 replied to JavaMama98's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    True and not true. Your license requires you to report her to the state board if you are witness to her incompetence and your supervisor has not followed through on complaints. The best thing you...

  15. Can we get rid of the sugar in nursing?

    msn10 replied to Nurse Joey's topic in General Nursing

    The people who say that had to re-take the NCLEX 4 or 5 times. From the NY Times, 2009: Granted I think you should have both, but when talking with future nurses, I wish they would talk about how...

  16. new position resume - put MSN in progress?

    msn10 replied to elsa2304's topic in General Nursing

    When I was applying to places before graduation I stated: "Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), Concentration in Nursing Education, Expected May, 2010" You can say "Anticipated, To be awarded, Expected...

  17. What is your opinion on this matter?

    msn10 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    You would think so. However, they have been trying to do this sort of fund re-arranging in my state also (Wisconsin). A few years ago, our lame-duck governor took money from the patient compensation...

  18. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    msn10 replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Yeah, except that in Norway they have a 28% flat tax (Oh how I wish this country had a flat tax) and a VAT tax of 25%. I am not sure about that "highest standard of living" but the income you...

  19. Disillusioned, Depression, or Both?

    msn10 replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in General Nursing

    This might help u to lol: Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell? It took her two weeks to realize that she wasn't at work

  20. Nurses do you love or hate your job?

    msn10 replied to angelcarmichael's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! You know what they say about a little bit of knowledge!! My favorite memory was when a OTA and a CNA were in the room talking with my patient who soiled herself and they were going to help...

  21. Three-page resume

    msn10 replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    3 pages almost seems short for an educator! I am in the same field you are. Mine was 3 pages also but may I recommend a CV? You are on a whole other playing field. I had 3-4 interviews per opening,...

  22. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    msn10 replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    In my utopian, unrealistic, perfect nursing world I would like to see PCA/CNA's involved in report before each shift. I think it would show them how important they are to patient care and would get...

  23. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    msn10 replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. The 5 rights talk about how to delegate appropriately so there is no confusion. Has the PCA done that task before? Is she trained properly or able to do it on that floor? Does she have a...

  24. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    msn10 replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    Also, one more helpful hint. You can not delegate tasks in the nursing process (assessment, planning, diagnosis, or evaluation) except implementation. For instance, you cannot ask your CNA to assess...

  25. How do you handle delegating to PCA's?

    msn10 replied to missdeevah's topic in General Nursing

    Delegation varies by state. Some RN's can delegate foley insertion while other states can be very strict. This is a HUGE issue in national nursing organizations because of litigation and increased...
