  1. Can CRNAs teach?

    msn10 replied to MCRN1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I do, but not clinicals. I think the OP has an interesting question and a responsible one. One of my degrees is in nursing education and the focus is not about teaching 'nursing,' rather the focus is...

  2. Stuck In The Middle With You

    msn10 replied to SoldierNurse22's topic in Nurse Management

    I am going to forward this to every manager I know. One of the organizations I speak in recently sent out an email warning staff that after a large merger "We will need to cut 200 full-time FTE...

  3. Petition to help new grads get experience

    msn10 replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, the VA hospitals in Milwaukee and Atlanta received these grants for BSN grads. They will each get 10 new grads a year for 3 years and they do not have to include them in the FTE/staffing ratios so...

  4. Petition to help new grads get experience

    msn10 replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Be careful what you wish for. The government is funding 2 separate 3-year nurse residency programs in VA hospitals starting in 2013. However, they are only allowing BSN's into the program. Most of...

  6. SICK of BSN Pedestal

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

    My progression: ADN to BSN to MSN and now DNP. I am proud of all of my degrees, they were all challenging to obtain, and I am proud of the nurses ADN/BSN/MSN nurses that I work with. They all bring a...

  7. Is there a flu outbreak in your area?

    msn10 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Southeastern as well - ER's have been diverting for days which is crazy since we have a hospital like every 5 miles. I know the CDC has their stats, but I would really like to know how many of these...

  9. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    msn10 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This website is not set up to be read like a real conversation as that is impossible. It is set up to share stories, provide information, and even to have lively but civilized debates. We 'chop up'...

  10. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    msn10 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Eventually a critical thinker can see the big picture and think outside the box, but no one can critically think without having the foundational knowledge (nursing school) AND the confidence in tasks....

  11. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    msn10 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    samsadmas8 Nice post, usually I don't read long ones, but you do have an interesting point of view on critical thinking. I teach a preceptor course throughout the US and one of my modules is critical...

  12. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    msn10 replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Amen, and now it is the fault of schools that students won't move. Most people do not understand the incredible lengths that reputable schools have to go through to stay accredited, receive grant...

  13. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    msn10 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I seriously do not have the time to answer everything on your list but There are plenty of guns accidents - Very few people want to kill others. I have a gun and I don't want to ever kill anyone,...

  14. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    msn10 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree PMFB-RN, if the Russians were using a .22 as an assault rifle it is because they are broke and couldn't afford anything else, kind of like their aviation

  15. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    msn10 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You completely took my statement out of context and I was referring to Clementia's WI statement in saying that gun ownership is a big part of our culture. I wasn't saying that because you like the...

  16. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    msn10 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't believe we need 'assault' (for lack of a better word) weapons on the streets either, but I think anyone who is not mentally ill or not a felon deserves the right to carry a gun or have one at...

  17. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    msn10 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Absolutely. I would say you are lucky that you have a clinical educator to assist you through your orientation because there are nurses our there who do not have clinical educators at all (smaller...

  18. 8 fired (3 Nurses) for refusing flu shot.

    msn10 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get sick from the shot - no I don't mean I get the flu, but I get very ill. Since we are all nurses here I can say this without grossing anyone out but I had the flu shot 3 years in a row and all 3...

  19. Off Duty RNs Save Gunshot Victim

    msn10 replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Nurses Rock

    How wonderful for those nurses and the victim! Poor nurses, however, who wants to make a bet they were pulling a double shift and just wanted to out for one with some people after work and they had to...

  20. Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

    msn10 replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Oh, a question for the ages. OP - As for your manager's statement; there are very few nurses who cannot critically think, but it is our responsibility as educators, preceptors, and managers to promote...

  21. Angry Nurse here!

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

  22. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    msn10 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You like Canada's system, but they leave it up to the provinces to decide HC management. Many of our states have more people in one state than the whole population of Canada, yet we should have one...

  23. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    msn10 replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Although you made some good points in your post (illegal aliens getting free health care instead of Americans), I disagree with you on a single payer. I don't think many politicians complain, but...

  24. How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    msn10 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I worked full-time nights 11-7 and went to school during the day - sometimes till 4pm if necessary. Slept on nights off or weekends. Guess I'm old school but I don't owe anybody anything which I
