  1. 44 days and not one day off.....

    Mijourney replied to J in MN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. As another poster indicated, if this nurse works in the U.S. I don't see, under our current labor laws, how she could've worked over forty hours in a week unless she agreed to it. Her employer...

  2. Here is an idea for you

    Mijourney replied to Navy Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Navy Nurse. Obviously I agree with the idea of nurses buying hospitals because I've included this point in a few of my posts as well. I know of physician investments and divestments in my state,...

  3. Will Nurses Become Extinct?

    Mijourney replied to ANnot4me's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. If I gave up the practice of nursing in the near future, it would have more to do with the needlessly fast pace of taking care of human life, and the fact that boomers seem to have greater needs...

  4. Nurses prayer

    Mijourney replied to bedhead's topic in General Nursing

    Bedhead, I will pray with you that your aunt and her family know that God is there with them through

  5. I would rather strangle our old nurses rather than eat the young.

    Mijourney replied to Chuckie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Ditto Lalaxton. I also agree with wildtime and mustangsheba. The pace of our work is regularly increasing and change, especially chaotic change, is difficult. If we nurses are forced by financial...

  6. What keeps you comming back

    Mijourney replied to lpnandloveit1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. What keeps me? The opportunity to work in different areas of nursing that keeps me from getting totally frustrated with

  7. Poll - what's important to you?

    Mijourney replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    Hi colleagues. I'm going to stray a bit. 1. I think I would like to see nursing go through a good, deep down housecleaning first. Some call it reformation. This goes beyond more money, better...

  8. We Be Smart

    Mijourney replied to nursejanedough's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm also impressed by nurses who are above average with computer literacy skills being able to speak and read nurse-ese as well as automatically slap out power point shows on their computers. I...

  9. Could THIS Be the Cause of the Nursing Shortage?

    Mijourney replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi colleagues. What thoughtful posts! You've all hit the nail on the head in your own way. Nursing is not an attractive profession for all of the above reasons. The question is who will mind the store...

  10. I just got a raise....

    Mijourney replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Zee_RN. Congratulations on your, er uh, raise. What market are you referring to? The national market, state market, or local one? Naturally, the local market is the one that EMPLOYERS benefit the...

  11. Super Nurses

    Mijourney replied to LORA's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lora. Another take on your post is that nurses are expected to take care of all things. This includes administrative work as well as patient care. This is another reason why so many nurses are...

  12. help???

    Mijourney replied to hoppy4's topic in General Nursing

    Hi hoppy4. I agree with the previous posters. I've run across a few patients with this disease. I don't understand it well either, but I've learned that Crohn's is also known as regional enteritis...

  13. Would you get out?

    Mijourney replied to bedhead's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I feel that human condition has taken a turn for the worse. I don't regret becoming a nurse, because it was my calling. However, I'm having to back track to make the necessary adjustments to deal...

  14. RNs versus NPs?

    Mijourney replied to Kadie-NP's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Kadie. There are many turf battles on this bb surrounding the issue of titles. I don't see it ending. As of late, there are topics posted on clinical ladders. Do you see program this as one way to...

  15. Clinical Ladders: Are they useful?

    Mijourney replied to CaronRN58's topic in General Nursing

    Hi CaronRN58. I've participated in discussions about clinical ladders on this bb. My experience with the clinical ladder system has been somewhat disappointing in that it was more political then...

  16. More NP talk

    Mijourney replied to fergus51's topic in General Nursing

    Hi fergus51. Frankly, I don't think your post is long winded. I admit I've written more in my posts. Question: why does the South in both Canada and the US seem backward? Isn't this also true in...

  17. Is fighting professional

    Mijourney replied to kjmta57's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I also agree with fergus51. Nothing wrong with a "healthy" debate. I have a problem with this media show mentality approach that seems to want to strip others of what dignity they have. Charles,...

  18. I think Nurses are angels and I can't wait to join you!

    Mijourney replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    Best wishes hug4mom. Keep an open

  19. How would you change patient care?

    Mijourney replied to Brownms46's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Brownms46. I agree with posters who say we need a team approach to patient care; the interdisciplinary team that is. Nurses don't work in a vacuum, and I think that therapists, pharmacists, support...

  20. Tired of being a nurse??? Try this out

    Mijourney replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    Hi colleagues. You all had a choice to not respond to this post, but you took it upon yourself to stand up for your beliefs or your profession. Congratulations! You may have done someone else a favor....

  21. I wanted to walk out with 1 day left before grad!!!

    Mijourney replied to Michelle_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Michelle. I agree with the previous posters prior to your last post. I'm so glad that you decided to stick it out. Welcome to nursing. There are many directions to take your skills and knowledge....

  22. nurseing,hospitals,and the media

    Mijourney replied to CJM's topic in General Nursing

    Hi catherine. I believe there are a fair amount of articles in the print media about the nursing shortage. In my opinion, major AV media doesn't give it near enough press time, because nurses are not...

  23. The Big Money Question

    Mijourney replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Buffy. Some variation of the above could be tried, but I still would want my employer to "show me the money." Buffy, do you have any idea of what CEOs or senior administrators of hospitals or...

  24. indecisive

    Mijourney replied to kaybe's topic in General Nursing

    Hi kaybe. You indicate you are currently working as a CNA. Is your sole motivation for pursuing a nursing degree money? If so, I am very reluctant to recommend that you continue to pursue nursing...

  25. The Big Money Question

    Mijourney replied to buck227's topic in General Nursing

    Hi buck227. The question for me is what would be the lowest pay acceptable? What I would like to see disappear is wage compression and the tendency to start experienced nurses off at the bottom of...
