  1. Do you have trust in your doctors?

    Horseshoe replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    They most certainly

  2. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    Horseshoe replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    There was nothing wrong with that poster's communication skills. Come on, be honest: you came here for validation, not for honest opinions. Your "gut" has told you a whole lot of things about this job...

  3. Not connecting or feeling good about nursing program

    Horseshoe replied to Ngav1206's topic in General Students

    You aren't in school to make friends. If it happens, fine, but it's not a requirement. You're there to learn and get your degree and preparation for NCLEX. Other peoples' grades are irrelevant to your...

  4. Western Governors University (WGU) and Flu Shot Declination Pre-Licensure BSN

    Horseshoe replied to CAFFEINEgtt's topic in School, College Programs

    Even if WGU accepts your declination form, that does not mean that the clinical sites will accept you on campus now or somewhere down the line. I think that's what someone else in the thread was...

  5. Duke vs Columbia vs Vanderbilt Nursing?

    Horseshoe replied to Barbiegirl1229's topic in General Students

    I don't know anything about the various programs. But I will say that you've gone for the big names. Make sure you have a safety or two in the mix...just

  6. Dismissed from nursing program

    Horseshoe replied to CluelessNurse's topic in General Students

    Get a hair follicle test

  7. OB Unit for Male Student

    Horseshoe replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    Would a 30 something male doctor describe this as being "awkward as hell"? I sincerely doubt it. In fact, I'm betting that there are many 30 something male doctors doing all kinds of OB stuff since...

  8. Question: Tooth or Foot First?

    Horseshoe replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    I would wonder about pain. Anybody ever had excruciating tooth pain that just popped up on a weekend? Dental pain can be absolutely unbearable. Better to take care of it first before it becomes an...

  9. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the ADN vs BSN wars, just what we need more

  10. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Horseshoe replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    You come off as a bully, Steve. It is possible to be a caring provider AND have concerns about these proposed solutions. I professionally will never be affected by them because I would NEVER work at a...

  11. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

    Horseshoe replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    I am ambivalent. I get that loved ones want cameras to guard against neglect and abuse...as a patient, I would be horrified to have my privacy violated during sensitive moments. Not an easy...

  12. My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    Horseshoe replied to Roger reed's topic in General Nursing

    I think we have our answer re: SDN or something

  13. My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    Horseshoe replied to Roger reed's topic in General Nursing

    It's especially bad in many law schools. My D is a new attorney. She used to go to class extremely stressed out. You may have been assigned several hundred pages of case law to read in a matter of a...

  14. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I went to a brick and mortar well regarded state university for my BSN. I would not rank my experience with that of an engineering or physics major, but it was not "laughably easy." It was a pretty...

  15. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    It's very location specific. In some areas, not having your BSN is absolutely no impediment whatsoever to working wherever you want. In other places, you're working in the nursing home and can just...

  16. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a problem associated only with the BSN. It is a problem of US education in general. What you are complaining about can be observed across all disciplines. I follow several message boards...

  17. Random tests?

    Horseshoe replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they can. In my state, it specifically asks if you have any history of alcohol abuse. If you answer yes, you will be forced to go through TPAPN if you haven't already addressed it. The question is...

  18. Random tests?

    Horseshoe replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    That is not correct. This has been challenged in various states (not by nurses that I'm aware of), with results being mixed. One employee of a cable company in a state where MJ is legal challenged his...

  19. Random tests?

    Horseshoe replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    "The BON" is NOT "federal law". BONs are not any kind of law. They are regulating entities that are in the business of protecting the public by making sure nurses are following their Nurse Practice...

  20. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that it's "easy" relative to some other degrees, but if it's required for a CRNA school (or any other graduate program), then it's hardly "useless." In fact, it would be considered a...

  21. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Horseshoe replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    What difference does it make WHY? If you don't want to do it, go to one of those schools you mentioned that will accept a BS in another field. If those schools aren't good enough, then get your BSN...

  22. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    Horseshoe replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Are you going to be a good physician or just another jerk? The good physicians I know are not disdainful of others' educations, are not arrogant, are respectful of what everyone on the team brings to...

  23. Juggling 2 under 2 and college

    Horseshoe replied to WolfMoon6's topic in General Students

    You may have to leave before the kids get up, and by the time you get home, they are getting ready for bed. Zero quality time during working days. Hubby might be annoyed that he has to cook dinner on...

  24. Called by Law Office regarding patient fall

    Horseshoe replied to frenchxtoast's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    He says he still works there "on call," which sounds like PRN. Apparently he also has already called his insurance carrier. OP, what did the NSO representative advise you to do with regard to the...

  25. A friend bought her degree from the Philippines.

    Horseshoe replied to thatgirlisangel's topic in General Nursing

    Well that explains a lot! I've always thought your posts reflected a very high level of
