  2. Leaving the Law

    CSLee3 replied to November's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, congratulations on your decision. I work with TWO (2) RN's who were/are lawyers. They are excellent nurses and I think one still holds her bar active in the county. Both left law for the same...

  4. refusal of assignment

    CSLee3 replied to anurse4life's topic in General Nursing

    Check your states practice act. Most states, like Texas, have a "Safe Harbor" claus that a nurse can involke for her or patient safety reasons. Does require a lot of documentation.....so start jotting...

  5. several questions for the RN's

    CSLee3 replied to minnielynn's topic in General Nursing

    A waiting list seems to be common place at many schools. A nursing assistant sure can open your eyes to what your future holds. However, how about LPN/LVN, is there a waiting list for that as well?...

  6. ER first assignment for new RN?

    CSLee3 replied to MichaelSSSS's topic in General Nursing

    CSLee3 replied to loerith's topic in General Nursing

  9. What can MSNs do that BSNs can't do?

    CSLee3 replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    Just a comment here, I think master educated nurse are good for the industry, because they raise the bar. I work with some wonderful nurse practitioners who kick butt in the acute setting and are...

  10. Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

    CSLee3 replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Lets just keep sexual orientation out of the workplace. Just like politics, everyone has their own life and a lot of what we do should be kept to ourselves. A nurse is a nurse, treat patients like you...

  11. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    CSLee3 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

  12. Should New RN list nonRN experience on job apps?

    CSLee3 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    CSLee3 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

  15. Where did you start?

    CSLee3 replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Nursing

    Good Ole Med-Surg. Hate or Love it.............it does provide the experience and critical thinking skills necessary to be a good nurse in any field. Doesn't mean you have to stay there, just a great...

  16. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    CSLee3 replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    An RN is an RN. Sorry, that is a fact. States boards and NCLEX doesn't care your educational background for licensure (excluding advance practice RNs) for a reason. If you want a broader ladder to...

  17. The fingernail police!!

    CSLee3 replied to RN92's topic in General Nursing

  22. HIPPA Laws

    CSLee3 replied to robin_mds_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    HIPAA blows. It is totally not being interpreted by everybody the same and slows and hinders healthcare. Some ER to ER transfers are hindered because of HIPAA, EMS systems claim to be privy to pt....
