  1. Do you have to do bedside nursing

    msn10 replied to dulcet's topic in Nursing Career

    No you do not need bedside nursing experience, however, many school nursing jobs require a BSN for entry. You will have to do a little more digging for these types of positions, but I see new grads...

  2. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    msn10 replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting comment. I think a big problem right now with too many students (Not all) in any program in school is the lack of student accountability. I am amazed at the number of students who want to...

  3. Is there really no way to refuse a mandatory flu shot?

    msn10 replied to tariqblaze's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is a really interesting dilemma. Even if someone medically cannot take the shot? One of our doctors had Guillian Barre syndrome and so he does not get the flu shot for obvious reasons, but he is...

  4. MSN vs Masters in Health Informatics

    msn10 replied to tracytate's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I don't know anything about a degree in informatics, but God bless you for your love of helping other nurses on computers!!!! Not an easy thing to do

  5. Hard and Soft Skills

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That is too bad, but that is the biggest problem I hear "My manager doesn't deal with the issues" or "My manager says one thing to my face and does another." It all starts with management, they are...

  6. Hard and Soft Skills

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Having "soft skills" does not mean you smile while someone is kicking you. It really is the concept of kind but assertive communication. Not to be confused with assertive and certainly not passive or...

  7. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    msn10 replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    At first it almost changed my view of her, but now I really just see it as reflection of the times. Remember, Florence was the person responsible for making nursing a profession, where for the first...

  8. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

    msn10 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I did't say this was a new idea. My post said more of these and many of the articles are in nursing journals. Although JAMA and other have done some it would be nice if more editorials were also done...

  9. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    msn10 replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    She actually felt that way. Florence was lucky enough to be educated by a tutor right along her male cousins which actually gave her a significant advantage, but she was also a genius. She invented...

  10. Hard and Soft Skills

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are very welcome! I use excepts from it all the time at my speaking engagements. I also recommend Crucial Conversations (if yo can find the time). It is one of the best books on how to have those...

  11. Hard and Soft Skills

    msn10 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I understand what you are saying, buy why does it have to be an 'either or' scenario. As nursing professionals I think we need to be competent in both. As evidence shows that effective communicators...

  12. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    I am over the top? You didn't hear a word I said Not what I said. I said repeatedly > 7 year. But minute point. I wasn't talking about one comment, look at all of them. I didn't say I was in...

  13. Education Models in the Hospital Setting

    msn10 replied to staceyp413's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  14. "Flipped Classrooms" for nursing internships

    msn10 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    We have had the same problems at the university level and in staff development. The university students will "watch" the videos or PP at home, but with all of the digital distractions out there, it...

  15. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    I am not trying to be either, I am making a judgment based on how you "talk" to me and others. No you do not have to agree with me, but your livid and harsh responses will never produce a thoughtful...

  16. i'll probably get flamed to the moon and back for this but..

    msn10 replied to elijahvegas's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I don't understand what you mean by "is it really that big of a deal that some use the profession as a fallback option, or as a way to get by while trying to pursue something they'd really...

  17. Do you have to do bedside nursing

    msn10 replied to dulcet's topic in Nursing Career

    First of all, there is light at the end of your tunnel. Before answering your question, I would like to know what is it about nursing that makes you nervous? In what situations, if any, do you feel...

  18. How does a Versant Residency work?

    msn10 replied to babybluelife's topic in General Nursing

    If you are in an area where it is difficult to find a job, than do the residency, however, the Versant program is not a true residency, it is an onboarding program and there is a difference. As That...

  19. LPN Student in RN Clinical

    msn10 replied to RNgrrl09's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with BuckyBadger (not to mention I love the name - On Wisconsin) Anyway, there must have been some type of contract regarding the types of students that the hospital will accept. I can just...

  20. When Intensivists don't want to accept a patient...

    msn10 replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    I am sure you have tried many different ways to be heard, but when conversations or collaboration do not work, then I do something called "Chart clarification." Dear Dr. Smith, as I have reported, I...

  21. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    I find that to be a ridiculous statement as I teach RN's and APN's at the university level, I am very aware of EBP. Also, just because someone is an APN, it doesn't mean they are experts in judging...

  22. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

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

    Very true. In our hospital system, only 3 CRNA's have been hired in the last 5 years and 2 of the 3 had experience. Additionally, there is a new idea in the healthcare in which anesthesiologist will...

  23. Expanding the Scope of APRN's Does Not Endanger Patients

    msn10 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is a great article. I wish more of these were in peer reviewed journals as well. Although reading the commentary on the bottom is always entertaining. I especially appreciated his comparison...

  24. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    I never said I was a subject matter expert, I am a research expert. I was assessing the validity of the process. You need to reread my first post, that is exactly what I was saying. Great research...

  25. General Anesthesia Linked to Language Problems in Children

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

    'Yet you have no problem with non-CRNA's who post on these threads, as long as they agree with you. And you are not a researcher but continually belittle those of us who are. And you have no...
