  1. Is it really illegal to require BSN(NJ)?

    Fribblet replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Why would it be illegal? As long as their not discriminating based on gender, race, or religion, they can set whatever educational requirements they want. They are under no obligation to hire ADNs....

  2. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Though the OP didn't include an exahaustive list of every possible exception-to-the-rule, it's pretty clear that the OP is venting specifically about people who abuse the system. In fact, by...

  3. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Yeah. You can get government assistance when you work, but to qualify your income has to be so low that you might as well not be working. And, this is the case because too many people milk the...

  4. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    You should have stopped at "everyone has the right to vent." It's a vent, it's not supposed to list every ******* exception to the rule. I gathered, without any difficulty, exactly who the OP was...

  5. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Apparently, you missed where I said that the patients TELL you. There is no income listed on a face sheet. This is what I hear: "'I didn't have my child restrained because we were just going to the...

  6. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    They are often more than happy to toss that information around. I'm telling you some of them are proud of it. Anyone who isn't milking the system doesn't advertise they're receiving aid. There's no...

  7. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    It's already hard for the people who need it to get it. I'm convinced that the freeloaders who have it now are able to get it so easily because they've been working the system for a long time and just...

  8. Lots of young people on disability?

    Fribblet replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Very telling that the people responding are not ER nurses. The OP was venting. We see A LOT of abuse of the system, and often these patients who are taking total advantage are more than happy to let...

  9. Are experienced nurses having an easy time finding work?

    Fribblet replied to CalidthreeN's topic in General Nursing

    I moved recently without a job. After getting settled, I started putting in applications. I had several offers within two weeks. I have less than 5 years

  10. What tricks have you found make your job easier?

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    My job is easier when we are staffed

  11. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Fribblet replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously don't work in the ER. Even though you can go on diversion (and in the major trauma center I currently work in, we are unable to divert, AT ALL.), it's a request, ultimately. I've...

  12. Drug seeking patients

    Fribblet replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I think you're one of the very few,

  13. Drug seeking patients

    Fribblet replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    You're not going to fix their problem in a 12 hour shift. One hospital stay is not going to fix them either. Rehab and outpatient treatment often fails as well. If the med is ordered, I give it,...

  14. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    Rise, Dead Thread, from the bowels of obscurity! I'm resurrecting this thread to point out that I really, really, like the new commercial Johnson & Johnson has out. I can't (at least very...

  15. Drug seeking patients

    Fribblet replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I think most nurses ultimately don't care THAT much about medicating drug seeing patients. Most of us understand, at least intellectually, that opiate withdrawal is an awful, awful, experience. The...

  16. Is just a BSN enough?

    Fribblet replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    This is a question that is not confined to nursing. There has been, over the past few decades, a higher education "inflation" if you will. As more and more people attain bachelors degrees, people...

  17. HIPAA VIOLATION?

    Fribblet replied to katie maz's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No it's not a violation, but it is bad form. Generally, if you have to ask "Is this a good idea/is this a violation?," the answer is usually "no" and "yes"

  18. Discovering how harmfull most prescribed chemicles are how do you live with yourself?

    Fribblet replied to steveogurule's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest you bone up on your critical thinking. Not every bandwagon is worth jumping

  19. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    Fribblet replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    How do you know how deep another person's faith goes? How are you able to judge how faithful a person truly is? Do you know what's in another person's heart? Do people of deep faith who do horrible...

  20. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    Fribblet replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    So people without faith who feel like the want to "knock someone out" actually go through with it since they don't have "faith" to tell them not to? Your argument makes little sense. People without...

  21. How do you incorporate faith into your daily nursing tasks?

    Fribblet replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Please elaborate on how faith or lack there of has an

  22. What to do for this patient simulation????

    Fribblet replied to ilovetonurse's topic in General Nursing

    Where did I imply I had a "right" to set someone up to fail? (And for the record, by coming here looking for easy answers, the student has already set themselves up to fail. I will have set no one up...

  23. What to do for this patient simulation????

    Fribblet replied to ilovetonurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actions have consequences. Looking for answers on a message board full of strangers (and not even in the student section, which shows the poster's total lack of initiative) is a pretty stupid thing...

  24. What to do for this patient simulation????

    Fribblet replied to ilovetonurse's topic in General Nursing

    That's why you're my favorite poster. You're a rare beacon of common

  25. What to do for this patient simulation????

    Fribblet replied to ilovetonurse's topic in General Nursing

    I see it as just deserts. It's essentially cheating in some cases. And, frankly, you're doing them just as much harm by serving them the answer up on a silver platter. So, while answering the...
