  1. New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    panurse9999 replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, its 20 years since I was a preceptee on a hospital oncology floor, and this post just hit me hard. It was one of many new nurse experiences I had upon entering the profession, and getting stuck...

  2. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. For a lot of us, its an incredibly expensive piece of paper, with nothing behind it. Not even a job. Not even the promise of a job. The ADN RNs who are being threatened to do it or get fired,...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    If we had sanity in the portability of nursing licenses from State to State, I would agree. We don't. I passed a national NCLEX exam. My license should be good anywhere. But it is not. I have to apply...

  4. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I must add to the thread by mentioning that a number of years ago, I came into a discussion about higher education with an MD from a foreign nation, who practices medicine in one of our local...

  5. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    I don't need a BSN or an MSN to identify the way hospitals and other facilities blow money and resources out the window by their outdated/ inefficient practices that are often the result of very poor...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Spot on perfect. Thank you for speaking to the point of the article, which of course extends to other higher education hoaxes/ pitfalls/ traps both in and out of the nursing profession. I get that the...

  7. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    That's the point of the article. There is no prize. I have 3 degrees and do not want or need more. Its just more debt. If I caved into the demands of the workforce demanding a new education for every...

  8. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    panurse9999 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My greatest hope is that oversight bodies, such as Joint Commission, and others, will be required to fund, the unfunded mandates that they demand from institutional care. The funding will come from...

  9. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I won't do it either, yet I see and hear both nurses and CNAs getting their orifices ripped because all of their assignment check boxes were not checked off that shift, and that is not...

  10. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    It appears that this very well written topic is being spoil tested by the many dissenting voices who would like the higher education tricks/traps and pitfalls/ hoaxes to continue unabated ,...

    I am sorry, but can you name the schools? I am unfamiliar with the abbreviations. Thank

  12. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I keep coming back to one very extreme case of a nurse who signed off on work not done, lost her license, and even was criminally prosecuted. Rare and extreme case involving a death and a lawsuit,...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Thats exactly the problem. Pitfalls/tricks/traps of the higher education scam. I have plenty of credentials. 3 degrees. Decades of work experience, and I REFUSE to be told that I need YET ANOTHER...

    Thank you for validating the glaring obvious

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    The SNFs in my area are mostly corporate conglomerates that have a race to the bottom mentality, to stuff the $$$ coffers full, for the top rung fat cats at the highest level of the corporate...

  16. The Nursing School to Welfare Pipeline

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to disagree here, but I have not seen anything that is "ridiculously affordable" in terms of education, in any field. Especially for the 2nd or 3rd career nurses who have houses and families to...

    panurse9999 replied to panurse9999's topic in General Nursing

    would you be willing to let me know where the "cheap" online RN-BSN programs are? As one of those 2 year RNs (with a BS and MA in other professions that is ignored as useless) , I've been completely...

    "Sorry, off topic, but every single one of my ADN classmates works in a hospital setting, if they so desired. It really depends on your location. We aren't particularly rural either." Her words, not...

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Thats nice that you are still in touch with every single one of your ADN classmates to know for sure they are working in hospitals. Ask them if management did to them what is happening here, forcing...

  21. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I worked in a nursing home where the MARs were so massive, that no nurse could actually complete a medication pass. Yet, the doctor group who ran the facility would come in daily, write more...

  22. Is it like this everywhere now?

    panurse9999 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Back in the day when hospitals still employed ADN RNs (a long time ago) I was constantly guided by "not documented, not done" mentality, as I sat in front of a portable computer module, that...

    Um, sweetie, you have not even had your first day of work yet, and you are on here giving us all career advice. BTW, I used to live out in the Pittsburgh area...by far the most saturated area of the...
