  1. verbal information

    RN4NICU replied to fangelam's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a homework or a test question. What does your instructor &/or textbook

  2. Do You Get A Lunch or Dinner Break?

    RN4NICU replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Breaks are usually covered under state law, rather than federal law (unless you are a federal employee). Most states have laws that mandate breaks, BUT there are some states that do not apply those...

  3. Do You Get A Lunch or Dinner Break?

    RN4NICU replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I always take my breaks. My coworkers don't complain because they all take their breaks too. If anyone didn't like it, they could kiss my backside. It is not my business to make sure they take...

  4. Which nursing school should.....

    RN4NICU replied to God's property's topic in General Nursing

    Helene Fuld School of Nursing is a diploma program. You do not earn a degree. Since your eventual goal is to be a CNM, you will need a bachelor's degree. For this reason, I would choose Rutgers...

  5. How did you hear about allnurses.com?

    RN4NICU replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Google sent me as

  6. Judge Judy disses nursing

    RN4NICU replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing

    It would appear that she thought that this person was a total loser - therefore good enough for nursing, but THANK GOD he won't be a DOCTOR!!!! I don't think she really gives a rip about the...

  7. Judge Judy disses nursing

    RN4NICU replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing

    Problem is that even she is not as smart as she seems to think she is. She matches what people say to the truth as it exists in her head. Case in point is the RN/BSN student scenario. She was clearly...

  8. Just a simple request :)

    RN4NICU replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you agree not to be offended if some people do not feel it is any of your business where they live. I, for one, do not think it is a good idea to post locations. Remember, this is where...

  9. abandonment, what is it?

    RN4NICU replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    It varies by state. In some states, you must assume care of a patient before you can abandon said patient. In others, if you were there and then you left, even without taking report, it is...

  10. The travelling nurse

    RN4NICU replied to mickeydickeydog's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't any better or worse than the staff

  11. Army CRNA program question

    RN4NICU replied to condanchri's topic in Government, Military

  12. DOCTORATE for Clinical Nurse Specialists?

    RN4NICU replied to VickyRN's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Ok, I'll bite What does the AMA have to do with

  13. Salary question??

    RN4NICU replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    I HAVE worked OUTSIDE of nursing. I do know both sides of the equation. YOU are the one that does not. I have every right to be bold with my statements because I DO have the first-hand knowledge. It...

  14. It Annoys ME HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN SAY "THEY ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY"

    RN4NICU replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post!! :yelclap:

  15. Salary question??

    RN4NICU replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    What, you think we don't get tired of people who have never worked as a nurse telling us what nursing is like??? I sure don't need google to tell me what nursing is like. Why? BECAUSE I HAVE...

  16. Interviewing for the 2nd time

    RN4NICU replied to mickeydickeydog's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's what everyone

  17. Salary question??

    RN4NICU replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think nursing offers such great job security? There are a lot of nursing positions out there that are vacant simply because no one wants them. Of course there is going to be security if you...

  18. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

    RN4NICU replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised that you have to come here to witness that behavior. I see it all the time at work. Nurses are their own worst

  19. Anybody here used Mckesson/Cerner/Meditech systems?

    RN4NICU replied to perseus29's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I have used all three. I found McKesson to be the best of the three, Meditech to be the worst, and Cerner to be the middle of the

  20. RN to BSN online

    RN4NICU replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Totally agree about UOP. I looked into them as well, but the powerpoint stuff and group work (not to mention the price) were just too much...UWYO was much more

  21. RN to BSN online

    RN4NICU replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated from Wyoming a while back. It is a very good program and I would recommend it. If you have specific questions you can post them here or PM me.

  22. Is it true?!?! Say it aint so...

    RN4NICU replied to lovingpecola's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I totally agree!! I'm glad I've never had to be in a situation with students practicing on one another and I would never attend a school that required it (kind of defeats the purpose of informed...

  23. Anyone use meditech computer charting?

    RN4NICU replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    I'd rather paper chart than use Meditech any day. Instead of making charting faster, Meditech actually makes it slower (at least the cheapo version that I have used does)! McKesson makes a very user...

  24. Anyone use meditech computer charting?

    RN4NICU replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    The only people I have ever worked with who like meditech are those who have never used anything else. There are MUCH better programs out there, but they are, no doubt, more

  25. case study(med-surg nurse getting pulled to busy L&D unit)

    RN4NICU replied to nursev2006's topic in General Nursing

    The "team" mentality is what admin uses to guilt nurses into doing something that they know is not a good idea. Another tactic is to try to make them inadequate if they do not feel prepared to deal...
