  1. AHPRA Nursing Application & Registration process

    Fribblet replied to cluelessRN's topic in International Nursing

    Check out the international nursing board. You might get more answers there. There are a few Aussies that I'm aware of that post regularly on this

  2. Online Degree vs. University Degree

    Fribblet replied to commonsense's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, sorry! You said something about doing your training online. I associate training with "Hands on" experience, rather than didactic "training." If that's the case, then no, I don't think anyone...

  3. Online Degree vs. University Degree

    Fribblet replied to commonsense's topic in General Nursing

    In short: yes. In a few more words: Not always. If you're getting a MSN to be a APRN, you will not get out of having to do clinical time. You will NOT be able to do it all online. Most bridge...

  4. Am I crazy?

    Fribblet replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

    This is a really tough thing to give advice on; the emotions are intense and very personal. If your son only has 3 months to 3 years, you have to ask yourself how much you want to be there. Nursing...

  5. Disclosing your issue(s)?

    Fribblet replied to kovercomer's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    If you're not required to disclose (and you likely aren't) there's no reason to give anyone a reason to discriminate against you. There are a lot of reasonable people out there, but, sadly, mental...

  6. Help!Desperate in finding college with no waiting list

    Fribblet replied to fromcalifornia's topic in California Nursing

    There's an entire board devoted to California nursing programs. Try checking it

  7. Xray tech~ more $$$ than RN???

    Fribblet replied to SoulShine75's topic in Nursing Career

    Arise! Arise, Thread, from the dark shadows of forgotten and dead threads, for it is time for thread necromancy! Rise up! To the tippy top! :) I doubt the OP is still around. This thread is

    Fribblet replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm sorry you are offended that I disagreed with you. Good luck finding a place where no one thinks you may be

  9. Help!!! All Labor and Delivery and PostPartum Nurses

    Fribblet replied to mobyrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you have the literature to back you up. Show the literature to the DON. If she ignores you, take it to the CNO. If he ignores you, take it up the chain of command on the medical sides of things....

  10. Major Vent

    Fribblet replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Right. It starts with the urgent situations (and I agree if it's urgent and there's no time to call the translator, those who can speak the language should help. HOWEVER, you did not address the...

  11. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    Fribblet replied to MsbossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really do think that people who act like that are the most insecure. If not in their knowledge, than in their position. They feel inferior in the role of the nurse and the behavior is them making...

  12. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    Fribblet replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    A flubbing a medical term is not equal to getting the name of your profession wrong. There are thousands of medical terms and some are tounge-twisters. You typically only have one (maybe two)...

  13. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    Fribblet replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    Hehe, I figured it was a brainfart! Your grammar is always spot on. We're all allowed a brainfart or two....or

  14. Major Vent

    Fribblet replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Right because there are no other resources to utilize other than this one nurse who must now leave his or her patients to deal with someone else's patient who would too inconvenienced to call a...

  15. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    Fribblet replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

    If you cannot get the name of your intended profession correct, it does not say much for your commitment or attention to detail. I would have serious reservations about a PA applicant who inserted the...

  16. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    Fribblet replied to MsbossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a kick the dog syndrome. **** rolls

  17. What would you say???

    Fribblet replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Being male certainly helps. I notice my male colleagues are treated differently by the MDs. Docs just seem to have more respect for memberes.

  18. why is the pay so low?!?!

    Fribblet replied to cawkazn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The Bible belt, which I hope to leave as soon as it's possible, but won't happen for a few more years. At least I can live off my pay....I

  19. why is the pay so low?!?!

    Fribblet replied to cawkazn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Isn't it great? Just like teachers, police, firemen and others who serve the public, our pay does not adequately reflect our training, skill, and the risks we assume. If I were you, I'd continue...

  20. What do I do? Quit?

    Fribblet replied to HelenLouise's topic in General Nursing

    How long you've been a nurse is irrelevant. If anxiety and worry are interfering in your life and harming relationships, it's a problem that needs correcting. Most hospitals offer counseling for...

  21. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    Fribblet replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I don't mind helping someone who asks for clarification, but a question such as "What is [x] procedure/drug/medical term?" requires a VERY brief google search to answer the question. If...

  22. Fantasia credits nurse for saving her

    Fribblet replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can hold whatever opinion I like. I don't feel it was legit. Sorry it offends your sensibilities. I'm not taking care of Fantasia, nor have I have I ever cared for her. Just because I'm a nurse,...

  23. Fantasia credits nurse for saving her

    Fribblet replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can feel bad for her and still accurately assess her as being an idiot. I do not pity her when it comes to the affair. It was a bad decision, and if it turns out to be true that she is indeed 3...

  24. Do you donate to your alma mater?

    Fribblet replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I loved my first undergraduate degree, and I loved the school I got it from. It's a small, private, liberal arts school that isn't as subsidized as the state schools. I donate what I can when I can...

  25. Patients talking politics to me...

    Fribblet replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know. Do you always assume the extreme even though it's not stated? I'm pretty sure just about everyone said the nod and agree with the pt or stay silent unless the view point is extreme. No...
