  1. I need guidance

    choksantos replied to vanilla_brownie's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not for everyone, it's good that you are starting to question your choice early on, it means you're not willing to be stuck on a wrong choice and be miserable, although my advice would be...

    choksantos posted a topic in General Nursing

  3. Patient Care Coordinator in ED

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    It's so far from a bedside nurse where I work, they are off bed side, I would assume care coordination, speaking to families, patients and doctors and all the team, make sure patient will get care...

  5. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Logical flow....yes you started talking about BSN then certifications, your response is not “BSN specifically”. My response to you was purely about certifications, for you to bring up BSN vs ADN...

  9. Is this a Med Error?

    choksantos replied to AllyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Technically It is not but, think about it this way, if you get an order for Oxy 10 TID PRN, are you going to give every hour x 3 just because the order says TID PRN? I guess you won't. Orders like...

  13. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for more than 15 years, a lot of nurses have that capacity to tear down each other and they do, a lot of people tear down younger nurses instead of helping and mentoring them,...

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    But education and experience can go hand in hand. Just because you have an extra credential does not mean you are less experienced and vice

  15. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Not where I work at, It's the highest degree that one earned therefore it ends in your badge, John Doe Ph.D NP etc. It is within his right if he has the doctor's degree to back it up regardless of...

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

  20. How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    choksantos replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    Being certified for me is a way to for myself to learn new things or reinforce my knowledge, because without a goal for me to pass a test, I don't think I would study. It's a good point that patients...
