  1. It's not my fault they're brain-damaged

    Horseshoe replied to Ronda89's topic in General Nursing

    That is one bizarre

  2. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all of the above. I wouldn't have been accepted to the critical care graduate nurse residency if I hadn't had very high grades. I haven't been asked about my grades since that job, but...

  3. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It most certainly IS DISINGENUOUS to assert that "nobody is looking for the cause of autism." There ABSOLUTELY is continuing ongoing research into the causes of autism. In fact, I think it would be...

  4. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It's pretty disingenuous to suggest that no one is looking for the cause of autism, or even to suggest that the vaccine/autism link has not been researched exhaustively, not only here in the US, but...

  5. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they would. If "vaccines" are causing autism, whether it's the antigen itself, the other ingredients, or the delivery system, this would have been evident in the studies which try to find any...

  6. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    My D starts law school in the fall. She has met with several attorneys to get their advice on school, life after passing the bar, etc. Every single one of them has emphasized how important it is to...

  7. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yet another inflammatory comment. Nurses in general aren't considered part of the upper SES either, so get off your high horse. You're not impressing anyone

  8. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Horseshoe replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please use the quote function when you address a specific post or poster. It's right there next to the "reply" button, so no extra work

  9. Night Nursing: Precepting and Perception PART 2

    Horseshoe replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    There still should be ample opportunities for patient teaching on the night shift. That's not exclusive to day shift

  10. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    Horseshoe replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    The first thing that entered my mind when I saw the comment about a BSN being "the hardest" degree was "Oh, Hell No. Put me in an engineering major and watch me

  11. I quit in the middle of my shift....

    Horseshoe replied to newgradERrn's topic in Emergency

    The incident in the OP happened five years

  12. Anxiety has taken over

    Horseshoe replied to IndyRN12's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Okay, I'm confused. If no one has said anything to you, how do you know they are talking about you? Or how do you even know they don't respect your abilities? What are you referring to when you say...

  13. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Since some of the posters here LOVE anecdotes and believe they constitute evidence: I have an acquaintance who had a child who was eventually diagnosed as Autistic. The parents were devastated at...

  14. Thrown From the Tower!!

    Horseshoe replied to pcaldea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My husband makes more money than I'd ever dreamed he would. When I met him, he had nothing but intelligence and a very strong work ethic. I still work as a nurse. Not full time, and it's less as...

  15. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, it never happened. No one ever complained. It's not like she was putting in orders on her own without sitting right there listening to the code. In an ICU, codes happen on a regular basis....

  16. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    Horseshoe replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unit secretaries DON'T run the unit?!? Count me as one who worked with an amazing unit secretary; I was glad to let her be the boss. That gal could basically run a code like no one's business....

  17. Resigning after 3 months

    Horseshoe replied to sarah620's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing doesn't have to be all or any of those things. I am a nurse and don't experience any of the things you mentioned. Particularly working nights, weekends, holidays. You might expand your career...

  18. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Are you denying that before the advent of vaccines, millions of people died of infectious disease? If you are, then you weren't paying attention in nursing school. There is NO comparison between...

  19. Start Nursing School in LPN vs ADN program??

    Horseshoe replied to PHFireGirl43's topic in General Students

    I would do the ASN. First of all, job opportunities are going to more limited with the LPN. Secondly, you said you wanted to be an RN. Just go for it. If you've maintained a 3.5, I don't see why...

  20. Nursing school gossip

    Horseshoe replied to Mockingjay's topic in General Students

    You're literally about to graduate. Why should you care? You're moving on, most of you to new and different places. My friends come from real life, not work/school. Yes, I'm friendly to my co...

  21. Graduating nursing school in May but I just want to scrub.

    Horseshoe replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

    I think it WOULD be insane to not finish your BSN so late in the game. At some point, you may get tired of scrubbing in and want to make a change. You will have screwed yourself by not getting that....

  22. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    No, because all of the parents I know who have autistic children are educated and are aware that research has been done all over the world in an attempt to find that vaccines might cause autism, and...

  23. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    If you mean autistic children as a result of vaccines, you are correct. I've never seen any, and neither have

  24. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Where is your CONCERN, lady about this? Do you continually ignore it because it doesn't serve your agenda? And do you also know that research has been done in REAMS all over the world by scientists...

  25. The film: Vaxxed.

    Horseshoe replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    It really doesn't matter what his story is, if after everything he witnessed, his CONCLUSION is that the risk of vaccines pales in comparison to their INDIVIDUAL and societal benefit, that they did...
