    What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    Asystole RN replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The title of doctor pertains to, and only to, the educational achievement of the individual. The term Doctor has nothing to do with licensure. A Medical Doctor who does not have a license to practice...

    What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    Asystole RN replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Considering the title "Doctor" is a title of educational achievement, why would you hold a distinction between the educational specialty? Why can we not call all those who hold the educational...

    are there nurses who ACTUALLY care ?

    Asystole RN replied to seriouslyserious's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As in any profession, camaraderie requires everyone in the team to work for the betterment of the team. Are you upset that your presentation was cut because you wanted to be an individual and make a...

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Asystole RN replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My hospital has been in recent news over some billing issues. I think it is strange that we all expect to see a price quote before we have our cars or houses to be worked on but for our bodies we...

    Does anyone know or completed the phlebotomy program at Phoenix College

    Asystole RN replied to tbarney's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Finding a phlebotomy job is VERY difficult. Most new phlebs I know were in-house transfers. I would not recommend that route

    Does anyone know or completed the phlebotomy program at Phoenix College

    Asystole RN replied to tbarney's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What is your terminal educational goal? Personally, I do not advocate online courses until you are firmly established in collegiate education (post-associates

    What do you think about nurses and PA's being called "Doctor"?

    Asystole RN replied to PalmHarborMom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that those who hold the educational degree of doctor should be referred to as Dr. _____ regardless of education or setting. A doctor is a doctor regardless of the setting. My patients who...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your pejorative remarks only make you look foolish. Many (most?) lawsuits settle without actually going before a judge/trial. You can "win" without winning. The threat of an expensive and lengthy...

    Discrimination for having an Accent... Filipino-Americans won Lawsuit

    Asystole RN replied to ArrowRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I went back and read the article. The nurses did not win the lawsuit, they settled. The settlement for $1M between 68 nurses sounds like the nurses broke even on legal expenses and the hospital cut...

    Do you have a set schedule?

    Asystole RN replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    My base schedule is 7-1730 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Two of those four days I typically work 0900-1930. About twice a month I take on-call over the

    Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    Don't take your ball home... Please, I would like to hear someone refute his claims/opinions. I think he makes some real strong

    Asystole RN replied to jodyangel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A severance package is basically a settlement from the company, it is a negotiated sum of money and/or benefits for a period of time in exchange for an agreement that the employee will not attempt to...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Colonization is a huge area of study and controversy right now. Some facilities do isolate those who are colonized, some do not. I am aware of several facilities that swab for MRSA and isolate if...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do not know anyone who thinks that the vaccine is 100%. In fact, there is no intervention that has 100% efficacy. Just because handwashing is not 100% effective, should we abandon the practice or...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Two of the letters are in opposition to the Feds mandating flu vaccines and the other opposes the flu vaccine AND requirement for masks. Since we are discussing the right of employers mandating the...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do employers have a right to set conditions upon the terms of employment of their employees as described in their contract, formal or informal? Yes. The State Dept is not a private sector employer of...

    BA with VERY low GPA, want to do 2 year RN program

    Asystole RN replied to DaisyDukes987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You NEED those classes, not just for the grade but for the knowledge contained within them. I would retake everything and start over. Honestly, I would not pursue an associates, that is what I did and...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My hypothesis of space aliens causing allergies is just as valid as yours, if we utilize the lack of refuting studies as the benchmark. There is a significant difference between the government...

    Accelerated BSN or ELMSN? Any advice is appreciated.

    Asystole RN replied to eminthesr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess the first thing you would have to consider is what type of work that you want to do. Being a FNP is very different from being a floor nurse, and being a floor nurse is very different from...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Asystole RN replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because there is not a study linking or not linking means nothing. Since there is no study that refutes the link between space aliens and your son's allergy maybe that should be a concern? My facility...

    what are the real AST &ALT levels for nclex?

    Asystole RN replied to delarmon's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCLEX is more about critical thinking rather than exact numbers. I never saw borderline lab values, they were either smack in the middle of normal or exaggerated off. You will not find hard lab value...
