  1. At what point did your edu ruin it for you?

    Fribblet replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much the minute I started learning was the minute those shows started getting ruined. The further along I got in school, the harder I started rolling my eyes. Now that I've been working, it's...

    Fribblet replied to EbonyBorn2Succeed's topic in General Nursing

  4. CNA-Undecided if Am or Pm shift

    Fribblet replied to pinksunflower's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not sure exactly how (or why) you expect strangers on the internet to make a fairly important decision about your schedule when you have given no information about factors that would be quite...

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

    Fribblet replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Professors of Nursing

    Fribblet replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yes. The drama, politics and backstabbing in academia closely resemble the politics, drama and backstabbing one finds on the floor and at the corporate level. It's all the same no matter where you...

  8. Major Vent

    Fribblet replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It is a great attitude. With all the extra duties they're piling on, and all the resources they're taking away, why should this nurse add yet another job title and not be at least minimally...

  9. Evidence Base Practice: Diabetes + RN Education efforts

    Fribblet replied to SENSUALBLISSINFL's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First, this isn't a blog; it's a thread. Second, there is no correct thread for you to post in asking for nurses to do your homework for you. Google (or use google scholar) Type II diabetes and do...

  10. Question About Abortion

    Fribblet replied to Tweety's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you are unable to care for your patients, you may need to find another specialty. I take care of people who make moral decisions that I do not agree with. I take of drunk drivers, rapists,...

  12. Professors of Nursing

    Fribblet replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

  14. DNP?

    Fribblet replied to pinchy's topic in General Nursing

    I think you minimum degree. Terminal means "the end; or the extreme of something." A doctorate in nursing is a terminal degree. It's the last and highest degree one can receive in nursing. There...

  16. Professors of Nursing

    Fribblet replied to grandmawrinkle's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same way about my instructors in my BSN program. I had two professors that were clearly experts in their given area, and, to boot, were excellent teachers. They are so desperate for...

  17. DNP?

    Fribblet replied to pinchy's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. There is no need to have a DNP unless you simply want the extra education. Some people will say that one will need a DNP to become a nurse practictioner in X amount of years. They're wrong. If...

  18. Social Interacting, work and becoming an RN

    Fribblet replied to scott.andrew's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as an introvert myself, it won't hinder you at all. I'm shy in new situations and around new people, but I open up as I become more comfortable and confident. I also started out in the ER,...

    Fribblet replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    I thought nursing would have the added benefit of making me more okay with death. It's done the opposite. I'm even more negative about it now, than when I went into nursing. It's all relative...

  24. should potential employers use credit checks?

    Fribblet replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Hell, I think nursing should have such stringent requirements. The Police and Nursing both affect and deal with people's lives when they're at their worst and most vulnerable. Unscrupulous sorts in...
