  1. Actually it was the OP thinking she had "fans" that caught my
  2. missing pinning ceremony for dying father's birthday

    Meh, pinning is over-rated. I didn't do my LPN pinning (I was continuing on for my RN, was never going to work as an LPN and didn't want to spend the money on a pin I wouldn't wear) Fast forward to...

  4. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    I'm saving this GIF and labeling it "nursingaround" in my
  5. Why Am I so confused!!

    Wow.
  6. Social media and nursing don't mix

    So ignore and move on. Why are you here to drone on about something you've made your mind up about? The posts on AN that run along the lines of "LPN'S being phased out" and "I'm an LPN and I don't...
  7. Facebook nurses and patients

    Sounds like homework for ethics class. I'll bite. No. Don't do it.
  8. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    I think you continue to post here because you love to kick up controversy and get some sort of sick high by believing that nurses in America aren't professional enough to place urinary catheters for...

    And his behavior
  10. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    We cannot be that lucky. Maybe in NZ it works that way
  11. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Why don't you tell us a fascinating story about these nurses? Oh wait, it looks like you just
  12. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    You knew it was just a matter of time though! But I was called a "Debbie Downer" for predicting this exact same thing in another thread starter by this person,
  13. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    I don't think "facts" is an F word in his
  14. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Wow. You will never "get it". It must be another "cultural" thing because I don't see nurses behaving the way you insist we do. Perhaps YOUR'RE not a
  15. Go into nursing for the money?

    Damn, that's harsh. In the hospital system here they at least "demoted" LPN's to PCT's and unit clerks. They did take a couple on in the clinic, but of course most "nursing" positions there are...
  16. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Yes yes, we love letting it all out in front of everyone. You're on to
  17. Do I NEED to get my BSN?

    You've been a member of AN for many years. What does all of you previous reading tell

    If I recall correctly, OP sexualized it in such a way that THAT is what all of us
  19. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    I think you've set a record for a new poster having the highest number of his threads shut down by the mods. That's quite a feat. And it's also what makes 99% of AN posters roll their eyes everytime...
  20. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    That was a very PC way of saying
  21. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Babies are still listed
  22. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    AIDS "took hold" in the 80's, HIPAA certainly wasn't around then, in ANY way, shape or form in ANY country. I think even in the US, different cultures today treat confidentiality differently....
  23. Should I Wear this to Work?

    If you feel that strongly about the message and it's within the companies guidelines, then go ahead. But be prepared to have a potentially unpleasant conversation with close-minded people regarding...
  24. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Yup, this happens where I receive my care. You'll meet "Mary, Dr. White's nurse". "Oh? LPN or RN?". They'll say "neither" and when you question further, you get "well, I'm Dr. WHITE's nurse"....
  25. Question for medical assistants

    CNA's aren't nurses but they post on AN a lot. I don't get
