  1. Can a patient sign discharge instructions after sedation?

    SC_RNDude replied to NURSECDON's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares who signs the paper? It's not a legal agreement. Where I work we don't have anyone sign DC instructions. We simply chart that we reviewed them with whoever. Don't make things harder on...

  2. Can this be put on the homepage or SOMETHING?!

    SC_RNDude replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps there is very little response because many of us realize that this is not how legislation is made. What exactly to you think is going to come from us signing a online petition? You said it...

  3. Staffing ratios

    SC_RNDude replied to MickiSkibinski's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please, tell me about all the meaningful legislation that has come from the petitions signed on that White House

  4. Staffing ratios

    SC_RNDude replied to MickiSkibinski's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If there are two bills already, we should be putting the heat on Congress to act on them. Not wasting our time rallying each other and our friends and relatives to go to a govt website to sign a...

  5. Can this be put on the homepage or SOMETHING?!

    SC_RNDude replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was pretty well known that these petitions we not living up t what was promised. "We The People petitions are basically just fodder for the White House press shop. If responding to a...

  6. Not sure how to handle this employment dilemma... help?

    SC_RNDude replied to sequinhat's topic in General Nursing

    Just go and see what happens! What is posted on line isn't always the most accurate picture of what is actually available. By going to the interview, you may be offered something that works for you....

  8. New Grad outlook in Denver

    SC_RNDude replied to shadricks's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It hasn't changed that much. People have been moving here in droves for the last 25 years, which has more to do with lower nurse pay and higher rents then marijuana

  9. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    SC_RNDude replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've wasted way too much time reading this, so I might was well go a bit further. A few other things to think about.... Let's say he uses the restroom an average of Q3.5H per shift. That's 3-4 times...

  10. New grads in specialties without the basics

    No, it's a different website referencing the same list you posted

  12. New grads in specialties without the basics

    SC_RNDude replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps your school didn't prepare you to analyze research, or a simple ranking of nursing schools. Your list of top 100 hundred nursing programs is for master's

  14. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think we all agree (and there is research to back it up) that in general, lower patient to nurse ratios lead to better patient outcomes. That isn't the question I

  15. Denver School Of Nursing vs Front Range Community College

    SC_RNDude replied to Tre'Vone's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hey DSON recruiter... I've read your posts before. And, now I see the ONLY posts you have made on AN over 3 years are in DSON threads. DSON is a great school. Your cheesy tactics reflect badly upon...

  16. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    SC_RNDude replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College Programs

    First, let me say I have worked with both awesome nurses and students from DSON. However, this post makes me think they need to add in a statistics class as a

  17. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes. What is your point? Let me ask my previous question in a different way. Where is the data that shows California's nurse to patient ratio legislation has improved patient outcomes and nurse...

  18. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Or, maybe hospitals in non-union places have to treat their nurses well to attract and retain good ones. In contrast to union places where everything is structured according to a contract that...

  19. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are a thousand variables that could be used in a "patient classification system". And, each patient can vary greatly over the course of 1 shift. Even where I work, where they try to staff as...

  20. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Any data of the effects of California's law? Everywhere I've worked (in a non-union state) the ratios are the same or better the California's. I'm not impressed by California's law. If the law was...

  21. What Nurses Really Want

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You asked and then answered your own question. I'm sure hospital associations and hospitals would love it if nurse unions spent more of their time and $$$ working on things like eliminating fossil...

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Did Lavinia and Lillian use the dues collected from union members to fight for causes they personally believed in? When I go to work in the morning, there are dozens of issues that effect me as a...

  23. Supreme Court upholds nationwide health care law subsidies

    SC_RNDude replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It would be refreshing, but I don't think it will happen. I don't think either side believes it would be politically beneficial to do

  25. Health One vs Centura

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    No, I do not think she is a liar. I apologize if that is how it came across. I think maybe she hasn't heard the full story on how each of her classmates got hired. And, I'm not saying that it would...
